I am on my second car from them My first car was the best , I absolutely miss it It was a 2001 Toyota Sequoia 14 years old when I got it from them , 73,000 org miles when I drove it off their lot not one major issue Small issue but I fixed them a year ago I rear ended a truck very very small damage but my baby was totaled, at that time it only had 134,000 miles still going strong ... the point is that they know their cars and they know how to pick them , unfortunately I had to settle for a much smaller car another Toyota running great except, it definitely needed suspension work I am not a auto mechanic there was a strange noise at time of test drive but again I just chaulked it up to being a car I wasn’t used to When I finally did mention it my warranty was not valid any longer , I am not sure this was something they would have taken care of but I am not saying this to lessen the quality and service you’re going to get! I’ll keep going back to them as long as they keep buying quality cars .... I have always made my payments on time and I am in good standing with them if I know I am going to have a possible issue I call them as soon as I know. The owner is a Fantastic Man , because his heart is right he’s a Christian and God is placed first all other falls in behind as it should . I love these people!

It's always good to have a "go to" place for straight FWD information. Sonny and their Staff is professional, understanding, straight fwd and are willing to negotiate to your needs. I recommend this place if you are looking for a great used car which in addition offer warranty. You know you cannot find many used car dealership who back up their product with a warranty. Sonny and his team will stand by their word and back it up every time when it come to their warranty. Sonny Thank you for your support on my truck 2 years ago best experience thus far. God bless your business for your compassion. You are truly here serving San Antonio for the customer. Recently Discount Auto helped my parents get into a newer vehicle not knowing it was her birthday weekend. Within 72 hours because it was Saturday morning we left with a Great deal on a Dodge Caliper for my mom.IN addition while test driving a few cars that morning I traded in our car and got a bigger car for my wife and the kids and just what the family needed with low miles and in great condition. 3 cars we have purchased at great deals!!!!!!! Sonny we will continue to do business for years to come!! God bless you my brother, and to all the Staff Thank you!!

This place is unorganized and lacks communication. John the manager was very rude to me and even judged me based on my age. I usually go in there to make weekly payments and for once i decided to skip a week to save up more than 2 weeks worth of what i usually give. My car got repo'd and was never even notified of being past due, did not receive a phone call or voicemail nor a letter. Then they tried saying that i didnt have insurance on the vehicle even though i provided proof to them twice and was confirmed by John that everything was clear. Now they are stating that there was not even that conversation and never received proof of insurance. And what really is going to prevent me from ever going to them again is that John had the nerve to ask me how old i was and i stated that that wasnt important right now i am trying to get my vehicle back and he stated that yes it is cause we are not going to babysit you. Wow such professionalism! Im a 23 year old hard working pregnant female who's been independent since the age of 16, i think im well past the babysitting stage dont you think! These people lie and judge, not worth it.

  • Cristina Guzman

So my husband and I had been looking for over a week for a new second car and went up and down Military and just bad Experience all we check just about every car dealership... This past Friday we when coming from a dealership that had a little Nissan 9500 it made some noise and needed new tires but it was better then any other of the cars that we looked at but the when asking 2500 down and that was way over are budget... As we when Going home feeling defeated my husband saw the sign discount auto center we thought it was closed but it wasn't we went it and talked with Sunny and Ramon and We test drive a 2012 nissan And oh my God it ran so Smoothly It looked day well taken care of he worked with the down payment that we have with a monthly payment that we needed put us into a great car for our family ❤ I don't even know how to thank them they were so amazing so compassionate so willing to help us it was the best experience I've ever had at a dealership thank you so much discount auto center if I ever need another vehicle or if i know anyone that needs a car I will be sending them your way appreciate everything so much

  • Damien Simmons

I'm not accustomed to getting good service, let alone great service. Discount Auto Center has been the latter for me. I am a first time customer with them, and this will not be the last time. I got an 01 Jimmy, and it was in great shape for a 20 yr old car. After picking it up over the weekend, I drove it into work. It started to smoke. I thought, "Oh no, this can't be!! I JUST BOUGHT IT!! I TEST DROVE IT 3 TIMES TO BE SURE!!" I towed it back to the dealer, explained the situation, and they got me right. Most companies who fly a Christian Flag on their property don't often live up to the tenets of Scripture. Discount Auto Center is NOT that place. They live what they read, and that equates to great customer service, and you don't have to believe as they do to get the care that I did today. Thank you to David, Ramon, and all of the staff for helping this Dad get a 2nd start in life.

  • Olivia Lucero

One word to describe this place is integrity, and there’s nothing I respect more than that. My truck’s battery died within the first week of me me buying it. David PAID for it to be replaced. Even offered a tow. He didn’t have to do that. It’s not in the warranty. I also purchased it with a broken radio, which we had discussed them fixing in a couple weeks but no set date. There was no documentation on that... just their word. So I was surprised when he actually had me come in to get my radio replaced. He didn’t have to do that, either. He took care of everything for me, including getting it registered and all. Thanks David!!!! It was my first time buying from a dealer, and I’m so grateful to be treated like family.

  • Dallas Foster

Small business with big hearts. The staff here are very professional and caring. I felt very comfortable buying a vehicle from them. First off the vehicles they have are very clean and reliable. Even after my purchase, they serviced the engine, the brakes, put a new serpentine belt and detailed the inside. And it came with a 90 day warranty on the transmission and differential. Many other dealerships want to sell you anything they can. The staff here both in manner and action showed that they want to make sure that you are happy with what you buy and that it will be reliable for years to come. I highly recommend you consider this dealership if you are looking to buy a vehicle.

  • Jennifer “JennyB” Bouldin

My truck kept braking down leaving me stranded. I kept having to take it to a mechanic to get fixed. I spent thousands on repairs. Not to mention my moms truck also, her brakes went out almost causing a bad accident and her truck also kept braking down. I would never buy a car or truck from them again unless I have a death wish or want to be left broke. My mom and I both went and just bought us new trucks because we want to live life without stressing about being stranded and we want to use our money for other things besides repairs. What are the odds that both of our trucks were from Discount Auto and all we did was have issues with them.

  • Belinda Delgado

So we bought 2 vehicles from this dealership and my vehicles thus far have been good vehicles for the Last 2 years. Well I will say this today. I will never EVER PURCAHSE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM.. EVER... ANYONE CAN JUST CALL UP THERE AND GET INFORMATION ON YOUR CAR LOAN!!! I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU TODAY!!! MAKES ME WONDER WHAT OTHER INFORMATION WAS GIVEN OUT WITHOUT VERIFYING MY ACCOUNT... I Am literally in tears right now . I am so upset.. if u value ur privacy don't buy from this dealership! In the end the decision is up tou.. I just wanted to share my experience!! I am by far very disappointed

  • miguel padilla

People were nice n promised alot I paid good money for the truck 4 months later truck broke down. I called them n they told me there was nothing they were going to do after paying 18k for a truck that I only use for couple months. I'm already to much money into the truck so I had no choice but to rebuild the motor $3600 I will never buy from These guys again nothing but issues n false promises that they will help u after ur warranty is up its a bunch of lies. Make shure if u guys are choosing to buy a car from these people u go get it checked out elsewhere I would for this to happen to someone else.

  • Susie Garcia

Facebook just reminded me that it has been a whole year since i purchased my 2014 Jeep Compass from Discount Auto Center! The whole process was painless...saw the vehicle online, submitted the online application, went down to the dealership test drove, and loved the car and walked out with my new to me vehicle! I remember as a kid growing up and spending all day long with my parents at the dealership! This is not the case here! They make it quick and easy! My vehicle has been reliable without any issues and I owe it all to Discount Auto! Ask for John, he''s the best!

  • Naut1

I’ve been in the military (USAF) for over 15 years now, and I was left speechless from the folks at Discount Auto Center. I never leave comments or feedbacks, but after all they did for me and my family today I was left speechless. Sunny manages an amazing big hearted team and Ramon was beyond patient and supportive while dealing with me and my vehicle that I bought here. All I can say to them is Than You!!! And to all those reading just know this is a real person who has been touched by this awesome place.

  • Sweet Pea

Amazing service I really recommend buying a vehicle at this place the staff has great communication, great prices, and they don't put you in a position where you get a vehicle and end up f****ing you over like the rest I went to and they. Also they don't lead you on and tell you that you'll get the vehicle then end up selling it to someone else. Very great and friendly place. Once again I really recommend going to these place before any other.

  • Itz_FOXGAMES

I went here 3 days ago for them to put a starter on my car and they haven’t given it back yet and dose it really take this long to get a starter on a car! They called and said “we couldn’t get the starter” so the6 had to take it to another shop. So unless ur looking for a new starter or most repair DO NOT GO bc I have plans today and it is 12:18 Pm rn (in the day) and they still haven’t called. And I need to go somewhere at 1:00 on and 6:00.

  • Crystal Gomez

Horrible experience David was very disrespectful and unprofessional I started having problems with my vehicle 11 months in my purchase put 5,000 down he wanted me to tow my vehicle over so he can help get it looked and and fix come to find out he auctioned my Jeep off with out my nolege stating the motor was blown still have not heard from the owner sunny about this he would not return my calls very untrustworthy people I Do Not Recommend.

  • Gina Harvey

Bought a car from this lot, through bank loan. Got 3 month warranty. Noticed a hesitation when we let go of the brake, seemed like a transmission issue. Took back, were told that the problem was resolved, nothing done to car, tranmission went out at 83000 miles and we were back and forth with the carlot until the 3 months had expired and they said there was nothing they could do. Had to have it fixed at a mechanic shop for $3800

  • Max Stehle

I recently bought a car from them and got it at a great price. They took into account my financial situation and got me set up with an awesome car (2009 Kia Rio at $4888) that I'm really happy with and they had friendly customer service. I didn't feel like I was being strong-armed into anything. My mom actually suggested the place to me as she's had a great experience with them in the past and I'm glad I took her suggestion.

  • Jeremy San Miguel

Very Satisfied: Communication, Professionalism, Dealership/ Auto Mechanic Services, Quality, Value. After my family got 7 vehicles from Discount Auto Center (I'm the 7th family member) ever since then business has been good I recommend this dealership to anyone. If you need Discount Auto Center to work around your income talk to David he won't let you down!

  • Johnny Gorman

I recently purchased a used cargo van for my business from Ramon and had a very positive experience with both the price of the vehicle as well as the service and terms offered by the dealership. Very clean and efficient operation as well as a nice selection of used but clean vehicles at very fair prices. I highly recommend this place for a good used car purchase!

  • Kristie Sherry

I highly recommend this place! My daughter was buying her first vehicle and they got her in great vehicle within her budget. This was by far the best buying experience I've ever had and I've purchased many vehicles over the years. I'm very pleased that my daughter got to have a great experience for her first purchase! Thanks so much to the staff for a great job!

  • Syd M

Great people, very easy to talk too. While I was there the head guy, after discussing options with a customer, told him before you go you need to put air in your tire. The man didn't know he had driven in on a nearly flat tire. He had the man pull around the office and his salesman went out and aired up his tire. And yes, the salesman was nice as well.

  • Kelly Marlow

We recently purchased my son his very first car at Discount Auto Center. Our experience was top notch! Sonny, Ramon, and David went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure we received a more than fair deal, and my son received a beautiful and safe vehicle. I highly recommend Discount Auto Center and will definitely use them again in the future! 5 stars ++++

  • Gerardo Herrera

This is my second vehicle from Discount as my family is growing up. The first vehicle I bought is still running strong and I bought three years ago. Now I just bought another one. The staff and management is great. Owner is friendly and courtesy. Plan to buy my next vehicle from there. (Again....) Keep up the good work and service.

  • Alicia Jacquelin

Staff is completely uneducated or are trying to sell you a vehicle knowing the facts are incorrect. They offer warranty but nothing is actually covered. Their vehicles are overpriced for the mileage and year. Went in to try and get a cheap car and ended up buying a 2019 Malibu at an actual dealership that was still cheaper.

  • christopher Duran

They take your money offer you things and don’t follow through state the don’t have receipts and that I should look up my account to see when I paid cause the don’t keep the records offer a warranty and tell you if offers things then when need state it dose not cover and they don’t seem to care as long as they got there’s

  • Rockin Robin

The customer service is subpar. There were no salesmen outside. I walked the lot for about 20 minutes and not one sales person came out to offer assistance. I likely would have made a purchase but I don’t tolerate bad customer service given that my money helps keep you in business and getting paid.

  • Krys

Extraordinary service, and remarkable staff. Everyone at this shop showed an immense amount of knowledge and professionalism. They were extremely informative on what was wrong with my vehicle, and were able to get it fixed with no issues. This is for sure my go to mechanic shop from now on!

  • R J

Although I didn’t make a purchase only because my mom couldn’t decide. Salesman was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. I’ve gone to a small number of used car lots and this was a great experience. Unfortunately I didn’t buy a car. I would definitely recommend this used car dealership.

  • Emoshia Duncan

Just brought my car the other day. The professionalism in this place is incredible. Ramon was there with me the whole process, from picking the car to getting the keys. He took the time to explain everything. I'd love to recommend for anyone whose looking for a good deal on a vehicle.

  • Lorenzo Ayala

Had a great experience working with John Lopez as a first time buyer at Discount Auto Center. Their service was fast, professional and friendly. John was able to get me in a vehicle (Truck) I wanted at the price I wanted! I would recommend this place to any of my friends and family!

  • Candy Collado

Why do used car salesman have to lie? Seriously, the pinnacle of all lies was yesterday when one of their salesman told my husband and I that he likes manual windows so much that he changed his power windows for manual windows. He paid to have that done. Really? Stupid and a lie.

  • Roy Cardenas

Well the gentleman that I've got his name do I qualify for financial aid 2012 Buick Enclave well he said pass but I have to put down $4,000 my payment was going to be a 431 that's too much for a 2012 I was giving them $2,000 down payment and I still need to buy full coverage
