Car Dealership in Newport Beach, CA

In the heart of California, Phillips Auto stands as a trusted name in the luxury car market, distinguished by the personal touch and unwavering dedication that only a family-owned business can offer.

Malcolm's down to earth approach to business and genuine commitment to customer service has propelled Phillips Auto to become the longest-standing independent automotive dealership in Orange County's.  Today, Malcolm's passion for the business remains as vibrant as ever, with his three children and granddaughter now playing pivotal roles in our operations. This continuity ensures that the core values established in 1984—a deep love for exceptional vehicles combined with a commitment to transparent and approachable customer service—remain at the heart of everything we do.

This was the by far the easiest and most pleasant car purchase experience I've had. Not only did I purchase an amazing beautiful Porsche; but, Chris Long and the other staff members at Phillips Auto were professional and accommodating from informing me about the vehicle to closing the loan. Thank you so much!!

I was looking for a Nissan GTR, found Phillips Auto in Newport Beach had one. Call them up spoke to Rich very professional on the phone they close early but was willing to stay open for me to look at the car. Went back the next day to buy the car. There was no pressure in finance and received a good rate by Mike thanks. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a exotic car.

Had a fantastic experience working with Mike Alibrando purchasing my car remotely from Texas - initial discussions to the final transaction were all seamless.

Mike was my go-to (even though he was off on the day the car was delivered), and he helped facilitate an immediate and satisfactory repair. Kudos to Mike and Phillips Auto for providing great customer s... More

"A Big Thank You to Niko" of Phillips Auto Group.   He's the type of salesperson everyone wants to deal with when looking for a vehicle.   We searched and searched the internet for a Jeep with low miles, in excellent condition that wouldn't break the bank.

We just purchased our Range Rover at Phillips Auto. We had the best experience EVER! its was our third stop that day; they were so professional, no hassle, good energy, and not pushy. They are priced to sell. Cris was great to work with.  He was honest and so helpful. I would reccomend this place to all my friends.  Thank you!
