Stumptown Coffee Div
Quite possibly the best latte I've ever had. The barista masterfully created a well formed Rosetta. Excellent coffee quality and a great place to relax. Highly recommend.
Circuit City
All of the staff here are helpful and informative about whatever you need help with. However, I never seems to be helped in the isle with all of the television sets. I was looking to purchase a 46" HDTV, but no one was there to help me, nor where they anywhere to be found. I took my business to their computer isle which their staff is friendly and more than willing to help me find the right computer. I wasn't haggled into trying to get a bunch of other unnecessary things either. It was just whatever I needed. I got a great deal- the advertised special. I recommend this place for anyone looking to get a good deal on a computer.
Nissan Of Bakersfield
Maybe it was me, I don't know. I may have made the mistake on driving a rare sports car to their dealership. The salesman was uninterested in me. Didn't even care if I actually wanted to buy a car. Apparently it was in his best interest to not let test drive the car, let alone see the interior of the car. This happened on two occasions. I figured the first might have just been a bad day for the guy. However this happened on both occasions. I don't know if they have something against me, but maybe they just didn't want me to buy the car. Would I recommend them? No, if you really want to buy a Nissan sports car, then take your business down 100 miles to Universal City. They're actually interested in your business.
Bill Wright Toyota
You think you've got the better deal? Think again, and bring a calculator with you. After a terrible experience with the salesman and over half a day in waiting, we finally came to terms and even then it wasn't right. The guy reading the contract tried to get me to sign tons of paperwork, all of which I took the time to actually read through carefully. He persisted on the extended warranty which was of absolute no interest to me. After telling him I didn't want it, he seemed irritated and became much more aggressive. In an attempt to try to cash in for himself, he deceivingly rearranged the numbers to make it so that I would pay over $200 more than I should have. I quickly noticed this and made it an issue. After this incident, I will never, ever consider going back to this dealership and would never recommend this to any of my friends and family. Truly a disgrace for the Toyota corporation. This dealership ruins Toyota's good name.
BMW of Bakersfield
My time here was settled in less than a few hours. The salesmen could have said anything he wanted, but the car speaks for itself. Got a great deal and everything was okay. However, this dealership has failed to follow up on anything afterward. Go figure that a luxury dealership should at the very least see through your purchase to the end. Sure it comes with no zero maintenance, but every time I brought my car in, the same thing is still wrong with it a day later. This leads me to believe that they really aren't doing anything. I have completely given up on BMW and lost faith in their quality. Would I recommend this dealership? Not to my friends or family.
Bakersfield Mitsubishi
After waiting nearly 20 minutes for a salesmen, my family decided to take an unguided look at their cars ourselves. We were finally approached by a salesman with good intentions on selling us a car. However, this salesman lacked half of a knowledge of anybody that has done their research elsewhere. His poor training made it was questionable how he was even a part of the staff. We felt uneasy about a person trying to sell us a car that he knew nothing about. Our overall experience was terrible. Never did he follow up on the offer. The biggest mistake was not letting us test drive the car. I honestly don't know how he could ever expect to sell us a car without letting us test it out first. in the end, I wouldn't recommend this dealership to anyone I care for. Untrained staff and poor people skills makes this lot highly undesirable.
California Audio Concepts
Talk to the owner, he'll give you a a great deal. He'll beat any prices, internet or local. This guy's been around the block for a long time and knows his stuff. Very knowledgeable and intuitive, he'll tell you what's good and what's not. He's the type of guy to hook you up, and your friends. He's also one of the only people that carry Audiocontrol and US Amps in town. It's the first shop and last shop I go for my audio equipment. I recommended this place to my family and my friends. I highly recommend this place for anyone else looking for a great deal also.
Auto Sounds of Bakersfield
This stop has been in town for a long time. Everyone here knows what they're doing. The price is fair with a hassle-free return policy and warranty. I enjoy dealing with these guys and I would highly recommend it for a person serious about getting a system installed into their car.
Car Audio Pros USA
The staff here isn't very welcoming. My first impression was that i was going to deal with a bunch of gangsters. The staff do as much as they can for you, but they don't know much about the products themselves. The installers are personable and friendly, however they don't do a very good job. Aside from the install quality, the staff is more than willing to make a deal, which is always a plus. However, be weary of the equipment you purchase and make sure that it's new.
Stereo Center
One would figure that the employees of a stereo shop would be enthusiastic about their work. However, the salesmen here weren't even knowledgeable, let alone approachable. They failed to make any deals and even skeptical to sell me certain parts. The installers in the back are extremely questionable, be forewarned to take anything important out of the car before you let them work on it. The owners of this shop do not to care about the products they sell and they sure aren't doing it because it makes them happy. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone that I consider a friend.
