Christopher Clark replied via email to my CarPro request. Today, 17.02 we met in person at the dealership. Fabulous experience from the second I arrived. This is my 8th lease (2nd Lexus) since 2006. By far the most amazing and seamless encounter I’ve had. Professional, knowledgeable, and personable; both sales and financial departments.

My Carpro was Chris Clark at Newport Lexus. Chris was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about Lexus vehicles. I purchased a 3yr old Lexus Certified SUV lease return that had only 16,800 miles and it was in showroom condition. I spent a total of 2 hrs in this dealership that included complete tour of the spotless service dept and got the full Lexus special treatment including the big red bow! Before I drove off, Chris spent 30 minutes with me going over all the gadgets and safety features. Chris was a true professional and made me feel very excited about my purchase.

David Garcia is no longer at the Newport Beach Lexus Dealership. I was expecting to see him there but the staff there at the dealership was more than helpful. The Salesman, Anthony Troxler went out of his way to make us comfortable with the car buying process. Anthony answered all of our questions and let us test drive two suv's and we also looked at a used suv. The paper work took longer than I would have liked, but it was all worth it in the end. Also Anthony allowed us to store our old 1999 Nissan SUV on the Newport Beach Lexus lot until we could pick it up seven days later.

David was our first point of contact at Newport Lexus through CarPro. Our salesman, Chris Clark,. the was able to match our requirement for an NX350h on allocation, and we had our new car in a matter of weeks. Great teamwork by Newport Lexus!

Met with David Garcia. He introduced me to Adam Akil. Adam will be the one I work with for my new 2022 NX 350h Luxury. Adam informed me that that the NX cannot be ordered at this time. Looks like around late December or Early January. When I can, I will be ordering the exact vehicle I want. Adam was very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to working with on my NX.

David & Abe were very friendly & helpful. Since I knew the model and color of the car I wanted, they were ready to show me the available options upon my arrival. All extra auto packages and services were presented professionally with a "no pressure to purchase" attitude that I appreciated. Car buying or leasing can be very stressful but not at Newport Lexus. <br>

Vance was a great salesman. He was very astute as to the details of each trim package on the type of car I wanted to buy and got me a fair trade-in allowance on my car. Best salesman and car dealership ever!

As per your recommendation I reached out to Christopher Clark at Newport Lexus. Within minutes Christopher and I started texting, and within an hour we exchange a couple of phone calls and the deal was done. My wife and I had owned a business for over forty years and had purchased 50 plus vehicle during our career, but never and I mean never were we ever taken care of as We were taken care of with Christopher and Lexus of Newport Beach. Christopher Clark is numero uno! Thanks to The CarPro’s and Christopher Clark. Michael Di Cesaris Brea, CA

Chris Clark, our assigned sales expert, not only had complete knowledge of transition from performance gas powered previous iteration to perfect Hybrid with options. We custom ordered to something available to the dealership in 5 days. Since they honored the CAR PRO, MSRP fair price, we gladly added on enhanced post sale options.

I first went to another local dealer that had an older & less expensive model, but then I saw that Newport Lexus had a newer model for not much more money. I called, and Ted (who works with David) confirmed its availability, and physically walked out to the lot to confirm the vehicle had the specific feature I was seeking, and sent us pictures to prove it. We were there onsite shortly after, purchased the car, and were out of there in about 90 minutes. I had an older 2012 BMW to trade in, which wasn't worth much, but they matched the CarMax offer I had already received. BEST EXPERIENCE ever buying a car. We love CarPro!

Great experience and loved the Carpro VIP pass feature. We’re listeners so when we decided to start looking we also decided to get a VIP pass. We received a response from Newport Lexus the same day. After a few texts we set up a meeting. We loved knowing in advance who we were meeting with and that they would be expecting us. Chris Clark was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to understand our needs. He found us a car we absolutely love. We would recommend Newport Lexus to anyone. We ended up leasing the car for 3 years.

Felt very special when I was welcomed by David Garcia. General Sales Manager and introduced to Abe Caanan the sales consultant. My concerns were all addressed and I felt no sales pressure. This is my fifth Lexus and I will definitely buy any future Lexus from this dealer. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a Lexus call David Garcia.

Our experience working with Mitch Stayberg at Newport Lexus actually went beyond what we had hoped and expected. We just communicated by email and informed him what model and color we were looking for. He was very responsive and had two 2024 NX models in our desired color in stock. When we went to test drive the cars they were clean and parked next to each other, ready to go. After the test drive we decided on one of them, and a few hours later drove off the lot in our new NX! Oh yeah, we also got a nice CarPro discount under MSRP! The only glitch we had was our fault! We incorrectly filled out our deposit check. But Mitch came to the rescue by coming by our house the next day and personally picking up a replacement check. He has also followed up with us after we had driven the car a little while to answer any questions we had, etc. We had previously stopped by another non-CarPro dealer and we were very disappointed because we were just not treated professionally. But our experience with Mitch and Newport Lexus couldn't have been better! Thank you CarPro. We love our new Lexus!

At first I was concerned; since there was a transition of who is the "Car Pro Contact" just a day before we'd asked for "VIP Pass". Zel assigned a real pro to us who guided us through the transition from very familiar and almost custom options to Hybrid with details for a familiar change over to a very perfect car already on site.

Great service from Vance at Newport Lexus. Vance works for David Garcia. He was friendly and patient, did a great job of crafting the deal with me, including the trade-in of my 2021 Lexus ES 350. Vance spent a lot of time with me going over key features of my new RX 350, including getting my phone synced with my RX. It was a great experience!

Although David Garcia was listed on your website as the person to meet, we were contacted by Chris Clark. We had about two to three days of email conversations that amounted to, maybe, 15 minutes of my time. The trade value, the car itself and the financing options were thoroughly covered. We agreed on the details and set an appointment to meet. We were barely in the door when Chris approached and took us directly to the car. I had explained to Chris prior that it would be an anniversary gift for my wife. Of course, it was presented to her with the big red bow (from the Christmas commercials). It was (an LC 500) bright red and my wife was in awe. Anyway, 15 minutes with Chris, 25 minutes with finance signing docs, We were out the door with my wife driving home. i cannot tell how thrilled my wife is with the car (I can tell how thrilled I was later on), But, I will also tell you I have been purchasing cars for more than fifty years and have typically spent 2,3, or 4 hours doing the process. CarproUSA made it possible in less than 1 hour. Thanks to you and Chris Clark I am telling everyone about the process!!!!!!

I'd recommend Newport Lexus to anyone looking to buy a car. They gave me a fair trade-in allowance on my 2015 vehicle. Vance Remmey was an extremely knowledgeable salesman and the dealership itself was top notch. I walked through the garage when my boyfriend was looking for a car two weeks later. It's immaculate! Cleanest garage on the planet!<br>
