Had the pleasure of speaking with Lawrence about an '02 Mazda Miata today in excellent condition! Unfortunately, it wasn't a good fit for me and I walked away without a new car, but the entire experience at New City Auto was excellent! Lawrence was knowledgeable, personable, and very helpful. After the test-drive, he shot straight with me about price, fees, and the state of the car, offered me everything he could to help me get the car on my terms. I would definitely come back here again and highly recommend Lawrence's services!

Scheduled an appointment with Lawrence and he pulled out the car to let me look at it. I didn’t feel pressured at all and the process was very transparent. When on the test drive I realized I was a lot more rusty with driving stick than I anticipated. Lawrence was very understanding and offered to have it delivered. I told him I’d think about it and the next day decided to buy the car after seeing all my options. Finalized the transaction over the phone and had it delivered to my address. Car has been overall pretty reliable. Spent just around $500 in parts(alternator, battery, crankshaft position censor etc) which I accounted for and is expected with older cars. CPC was covered under warranty too but I didn’t want to drive back down to South El Monte. Pretty smooth experience for my first car purchase. Update: 10k miles later I had to do some more repairs. Wheel bearing needed to be replaced and I guess the previous owner cross threaded the cv axle. Brake caliper pin also failed due to it being over torque. Doing the incorrect torque specs is a common mistake among tree-shade mechanics and since the car came with aftermarket wheels I’m assuming it was owned by a fellow car enthusiast. Other than that it’s just been basic maintenance(brake pads, fluids, oil, tires etc) I’ve done some light modifications too(aftermarket grille, headlights, stubby antenna, led interior lights) Even with its quirks I’m still very happy with my purchase.

My dad bought a car from this small family car dealer business. Till today, he has no issues with his car. Kai, the owner of this S. El Monte location is very honest and easy to work with. He made it simple, by making sure the car has a full 101 point inspection, prior selling the vehicle. Like I said we will be back for any future car sales!!! Thank you Kai for servicing your neighborhood!!!
