Best Car Dealerships in South Australia Adelaide

I put my details in around 10pm Sunday night and within 12hours I had my dream car! Thanks to Carl and his quick and efficient service I am a soon to be brand new car owner!!! I cannot thank you enough for your assistance and hard work thank you :)

Great experience. Rob went to a lot of effort to find a good deal.

I’m leaving this review as a warning to anyone considering using the Suttons Arncliffe service department. While initial vehicle faults can happen… Read more

with a brand new car (as it did mine), it is a dealership's customer service and communication that actually matter and here, both are absolutely appalling.

From the exact moment I dropped my car off, proactive communication from their team has been non-existent. I have been the one forced to constantly chase them up for every single update.

The most concerning issue, however, revolves around a small dent I found on the car when I picked it up in early January. When I raised the issue, the dealership produced paperwork with a signature, allegedly mine, claiming I had agreed to this 'pre-existing' damage. I absolutely did not sign this document, nor was I given a copy of it at pick-up.

For three solid months, they have ignored my emails requesting a copy of this mysterious paperwork and are using it as their excuse to refuse fixing the dent.

If you value transparent communication, basic customer service, and honest paperwork practices, I highly recommend taking your vehicle somewhere else.

Andrew at MVC continues to deliver. Have bought multiple cars through him for myself, my wife and my mother and will continue to recommend to anyone. He’s a good man, who actually cares about his customers and provides awesome deals

Got a quote after detailing my car and got on 18000 for the quote. After they called me they backfilled and offered less than 5. Nothing is wrong… Read more

with the car in any way only small scratches but they are buffing out. Feels like a bate and switch going on there. Other offers for the car are over 12000 thought I’d give another company a go to spread the love. Guess not.

Seamus made the process easy, did all the work, made ordering a new car a breeze.

I purchased a vehicle about a month ago and has been available through Carconnect, dealer has not been paid and I have been delayed delivery of my… Read more

new vehicle on numerous occasions now company has gone into voluntary administration. Took full payment fully knowing they could not delivery a vehicle to me, CEO and Directors should be charged with outright theft.

This is my 3rd car to my family and we love here and all my family they bought the car from here highly recommend

Three months ago, I purchased a used 4WD Toyota Hiace van imported from Japan from Carbarn. Despite having driven around 200,000 km, it was a… Read more

well-maintained vehicle. I was concerned about some surface rust on the underbody, but I was impressed by the strong need for 4WD and the low price, so I decided to buy it.

After receiving the car, I washed and dried the underbody. Then, I sprayed the rusted underbody with rust-preventing spray (Lanolin oil). I sprayed the rusted areas repeatedly whenever I had time, and now, three months later, the rust is no longer visible. If you spray the rust-preventing spray occasionally, rust will no longer be a concern. After receiving the car, I installed plywood and some barriers to facilitate delivery. These can be removed if necessary.

My current car is perfect in every way. I'm very happy driving it. I use it as a delivery vehicle during the week and take my family on picnics on the weekends. I can even visit rural Australia with my family at the end of the year. I used to be concerned about the high cost of full car insurance, but Carbarn introduced me to a low-cost insurance company, saving me over $2,000 a year. Thank you very much ❤️ "Carbarn"

I took delivery of a new Fortuner just before Christmas without the bull bar and recovery points, with a promise they would be installed the… Read more

following month. When I returned, I was told the recovery points had been removed because they were the wrong ones and new ones had to be ordered.

It has now been 45 days with no recovery points installed, and my calls and messages are going unanswered. Very disappointing after-sales service. I expected much better communication and follow-through.

Steer clear of this disgusting organisation. They couldn't supply the vehicle i contracted and paid a deposit for; did a bait and switch and… Read more

delivered a hail damaged vehicle after i paid the balance, which i refused to accept. It took them another week to find me a vehicle, then tried to charge me another $2000 because the price had gone up. When I demanded a refund they initially told me it would take up to 5 working days. Zero ethics, completely disrespectful dealership.

Thoroughly enjoyed buying my car at Tynan. Louis was extremely patient and answered all my questions without any pressure. He guided me through the… Read more

entire process and spent time making sure I understood and felt comfortable driving my new car. Thanks for your amazing customer service Louis. I'm very happy with my choice. Lorraine NSW

Absolutely abysmal customer service....if you manage to find your car, and the sale goes through easily then no problem, but if any problems or… Read more

issues occur, the management and salesman become aggressive and abusive. After care service is equally difficult and staff not wanting to know. Western australia, joondalup Go elsewhere

I was contacted by Daniel from KS Motor Company offering to sell my vehicle, as I had it advertised privately but had no success. It was a unique car… Read more

so hard to sell. Daniel was great to deal with made it allot easer. I had my money in the bank. I had a positive experience & would recommend this Dealership. Friendly and communicative staff.

Force you to use their finance. Rip off prices – Not sure where all their 5 star reviews come from as I doubt their validity. As someone else mentioned, they won't sell you a car if you're not using… Read more

their finance.

TLDR: will force you to use their finance. Rip off prices. Selling used cars for more than a brand new car (time to end the Covid tax)

Sent them an enquiry stating I was interested in a car through a lease arrangement. Never heard back from them. Called them up a few days later and asked for the first registration date of that vehicle as it would have qualified for an FBT exemption if registered after July 2022. Was told it was registered in June (how convenient) so I'd lose the FBT benefit of going through a lease and possibly opt for their finance.

Fact is that particular vehicle model was only released in Australia late August 2022 (maybe do your research if you're gonna bullsh*t). Unless you're telling me that this vehicle's a grey import?

Also selling the used vehicle for more than a new one would cost. Current wait times for this particular vehicle is 1 - 2.5 months (so not excessive).

Definitely do your research before approaching these lot as they'll scalp you if they can.

Disappointing because after all those positive reviews, I was hoping they'd be different and honest.

We bought a 2021 Toyota Alphard Hybrid from Best People Movers and had a fantastic experience with Natalia. She was extremely honest and transparent… Read more

about the car, with all documents and paperwork well prepared. Nothing was hidden and everything was clearly explained.

What really stood out was how supportive she was during the inspection and loan process. As first-time buyers of a Japanese import, there were many things we didn’t know, but Natalia guided us through everything and made the whole process smooth.

It’s rare to find a dealer who runs their business with this level of honesty and care. If you’re looking for a Japanese import, I would definitely recommend talking to Natalia.

I've booked an appointment for 09:50 AM on 22nd December. When I arrived, there is no place to park the car which led me to park it half a kilometer… Read more

from the service station. The call to the service center, to inform about the delay took more than 10 minutes and was still on wait. When I arrived at 10:00 and waited my turn for around 5 minutes to be assisted, I was told that all bookings for that day were full as I was 15 mins late.

The next available appointment was only at the end of Jan. That is some next level stupidity.

If they work based on appointments, how did they accept additional customers in that 15 minutes?

This is the most unprofessional service center I've ever been to.

They arrogance is probably due to them being the only jeep authorized service center in the area.

In short, Terrible, THEY DO NOT DO ANY SAFETY OR ANY CHECKS, THEY PUT CARS ON SALES FLOOR AS IS, this is a statement directly from one of the staff… Read more

members if they had said that before we purchases, I would have walked away, will never buy from this car yard again. only do something when forced will put your and your family's life at risk to safe a dollar, I would rather walk then buy another car from this place.

salesperson was friendly and said everything she needed to, to make the sale including saying the car was in A1 condition

we bought a Ute to tow our camper trailer to Kalberri about a 1300KM round trip with the family. when we looked at the car it wasn't to bad it had everything we wanted and it was described to use as in A1 condition. we found AC wasn't working, fan only worked on High and A coolant warning light was on the dash. which were supposed to be fixed before we pick it up. Mrs. picked it up and on the way home she noted the AC wasn't working correctly only blowing cold air on drivers side and the fan was still squeaking as it was the weekend I decided to call them Monday. I proceeded to drive it and put in a full tank of fuel which showed it had a hole in the tank. I messaged them and called them on Monday which was just Before new year.

we organised to drop it off tuesday morning with the following problems to be sorted AC, Fan, Fuel leak on the tank and Fuel filter, we were set to travel to Kalberri on Friday morning, they said we can pick it up on wednesday without of ANY repairs being done as there wasn't enough time to fix them. we said we would rather Higher a car than to take that on the trip.

we came back from the trip on the 7th Jan on the 9th of jan I got a phone call in the morning saying "The car will be ready for pickup 10th the AC guy will be fixing AC and fan around lunch time" we then recieved another call on the 9th in the afternoon someone else saying "the car will be ready for pickup today the mechanic will drop it off in about an hour and he doesn't know whats happening with the AC or FAN but we can pick it up anyway" I said ok and ignored it as I wasn't going to pick it up if the AC hadn't been done.

we then got a call on the 10th saying the AC and fan would be fixed around 3pm and it should be ready for pickup around 5pm. we gone to pick it up all seemed well enough noted out of the full tank that was drop off (120L) only a quarter was left was told by the person in attending that no one else was here and he wouldn't be able to do anything tonight. got home to see the fuel leak on the filter was not sorted and the Fan was now working but the AC was still only blowing cold air on the drivers side.

Then the Transmission started to slip and the Brakes Failed after having driven 500Ks since its been purchased that is a little short of the 1300km we would have driven it which means while going through the hills before getting to Kalberri we would have had no brakes while towing a 2T camper trailer.

I proceeded to contact the Consumer protection which stands firm on that the car yard should be getting it towed and fixing all Issues as per the consumer protection Guarantee. which stats the car needs to be ROADWORTHY, needs to be SAFE, Acceptable Quality, fit for its Purpose, match the description,

I contacted the Yard and told them what's going on including I contacted Consumer protection. They offered to fix all issues but not the brakes as they called it wear item. I had the brakes done, then dropped the car off and everything else was fixed. so they say I have yet to see proof of anything they say was done. there is no photo's no invoices from the mechanic.

I had the car checked with a computer the car has 11 fault codes 5 active phones which includes the coolant system and the ABS, EBS and traction control, which my mechanic is currently checking.

besides the fault codes that are being looked into, oil leaks, brake failure, transmission slipping, bold spare tire, no High beam. I would have expected these issues from a car costing $8000 not $15000. what this car yard has shown me they will do nothing unless forced to they will put your life and your families life at risk to safe a Dollar.

If you do decide to buy make sure you get it checked by an external mechanic.

A great all round experience! – I was in the market for a second hand car and came across the Carizma website in my search. I had my mind on a couple of vehicles that I saw on the… Read more

site. I took my relative along as she too was looking for a vehicle. We had stopped at two car yards before going there. We were amazed by the help we received at Carizma. Alex and Hyula were fantastic. We both found vehicles we liked. She needed finance but ours was a straight forward sale. They helped us from start to finish. No pressure from them. Just good vehicles to choose from.

"UPDATE AT BOTTOM" Unfortunately I have to give that one star because I cant separate Col Crawford from MG motors as they are the dealer. My friend… Read more

who is elderly and has no where to turn asked me for help this morning . She had her car serviced in January 2026 and this week February 24th the car broke down . She had the vehicle towed to Col Crawford and was charged to have new spark plugs fitted over $300 ,it is well known that MG has an issue with these spark plugs failing but are bluffing , with the help of their dealer network to deny people the proper service under Australian consumer law . Just because a manufacture puts a warrant period on a product and the product fails outside that warranty period does not release the manufacturer from its obligation of reasonable time and fit for purpose. If a spark plug generally operates for 60,000ks under normal circumstances and it fails half way through that expected life span it has failed expectations under Australian consumer law . MG put 3 months or 5,000ks warranty on the spark plugs they fit which is ludicrous and completely in contravention to the law. It is well known amongst dealer circles that this issue should have been a recall and spark plugs should have been fitted that have a normal life span of 60,000ks. Just because something is well priced it doesn't mean you can cheat the public. I was in the motor industry for 50 years and I find this one of the most blatant cases of denial by a manufacturer. The dealer says they can do nothing but I know with enough pressure from the dealer network this issue could be resolved but its a quick buck for an ever decreasing customer oriented industry. UPDATE. since writing this review I would like to thank Col Crawford who have contacted my friend and refunded the amount for the spark plugs and the fitment , service is still alive.

We had a very disappointing experience with Kirsty at Nissan Motors Philip Canberra ACT. We arrived about an hour late to pick up the car, and… Read more

instead of handling the situation professionally, she was extremely rude and began swearing at us over the phone. She also made false accusations, which made the whole experience even worse.

Customer service should be respectful and understanding, even when there are delays. Unfortunately, this was not the case here. I would strongly recommend others think twice before dealing with her.

Just sold my magic 79 Corvette to Bernie. Bernie followed through and stuck to his word. After being stuffed around by dreamers, who either couldn't raise the money or needed permission from their partner, it was a pleasure to do business with him.
