I wish I could give this business 10 stars. Shawn went above and beyond to make my car purchase smooth and enjoyable. I purchased a BMW 428i convertible and it was so clean and well maintained. Shawn answered all my questions, gave me service records, helped me get the car set up so I was comfortable driving off the lot, and overall made the entire experience very pleasant. I would absolutely buy another car from him and his team. Top notch service and beautifully maintained vehicles.

I had a great experience buying a Porsche Cayenne Turbo from Shawn at Ranch & Coast Motorsport. When I shop for cars I shop for months for the perfect car from reputable seller. I research every car using CARFAX and pulling up the factory invoice to make sure the car for sale matches the options shown on the invoice. The car I bought was serviced diligently at the Porsche dealer and it showed. The car was pristine and I was provided all the service records from the day of purchase for this one owner car. The rest of the cars offered for sale were equally in pristine condition from what I could see. The purchase process was fast and easy and there was no shenanigans that I hear about from other dealers I researched. Shawn was clearly a very knowledgeable car enthusiast as he was well versed on the intricate details of the car. If you are an exotic car aficionado I recommend a visit to this place to check out their impressive collection of offerings. They do have limited hours and I did need to call ahead to make an appointment. If I was in the market for another clean pre-owned exotic car I would call here first.

Stephan and his crew did a great job diagnosing and repairing our 911 Porsche 997.1. Knowledgeable staff and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend.

This was the best car buying experience we have ever had. We were given factual information on all our questions so we could make a great selection on the best car that works for us. In the future, if we buy another car, it will be from Shawn.

Just bought a Ford Focus RS from Shawn last week. Over the moon with the car and the service. From A-Z, Shawn had every step of the process covered! Extremely open and honest about providing service records, Carfax, etc. Highly recommend!

Wow! What an incredible car buying experience, from the moment I walked until now - 6 months later. This is not the standard car dealership experience. It's a few guys who love cars, and are excellent at what they do. Shawn and his team have a collection of immaculate luxury vehicles. Each one is tuned and detailed with care. They provide very personal customer service and are super communicative throughout the process. I purchased a 2012 Audi Q5 in November and couldn't be happier with my car. I was given a very fair price and was treated with the utmost care through the lending process. I will have the SV Motorsport team exclusively handle everything under my hood, because I know they will treat my car as if it were their own. Highly recommend buying a car here if you're looking for a beautiful luxury vehicle!

We have a 2006 Porsche 911S that continued to get a low oil pressure warning. We took it to two different shops and they could not resolve the problem. I called Stephan and immediately knew he was knowledgeable about Porsches. He and his team diagnosed the problem and did the repairs. My car no longer gets the low oil pressure warning and runs like new. Thank you to this team for resolving our problem. Would highly recommend for anyone in need of Porsche service or repair.

Buying a vehicle was a long process for me. I did my research and narrowed down what I wanted before going out to test drive any. I will say my experience at most auto dealerships was less than pleasant until I went to SV Motorsport. Shawn was very welcoming and handed me the keys to the Range Rover I had in mind like I already owned it. Needless to say I loved the car and Shawn made the experience so painless and as comfortable as I was just making a small purchase. I could not say enough great things about my experience! Thank you, Shawn!

New owner, Stephan Lill, is knowledgeable, quick to help, and agreeable. The staff is professional and easy to work with; customer service is top-of-mind. I've been nothing but pleased with how well they've taken care of my cars, and expect to continue doing so for years. Strongly endorsed.

We purchased a 997.2 C4S from SV Motorsport a few months back and we love the car. From my first visit through all subsequent visits (there were many) Shawn was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and added ZERO pressure. It was a big decision for us and he did everything possible to make sure it was right for us, including sourcing a few little things we wanted for the car. Would we buy from him again? Absolutely!Thanks Shawn for the great experience!

I was extremely pleased and impressed with the entire buying experience. I went to casually look at a 911 4s cabriolet that wasn t everything I was looking for (color, transmission, wheels) and immediately found the perfect car parked next to it. 45 minutes later drove off in my dream car and am loving it. Shawn was great to deal with and gets my highest recommendation for his approach, transparency, knowledge and professionalism. I d buy another car from him in a heartbeat. He also introduced me to the shop owner and showed me around a very impressive group and facility

I was never a fan of the process involved in buying a used car, and I am sure many others are right there with me. However, Shawn made the entire process easy, efficient, AND painless. He let me take all the time I needed with the vehicle I was interested in and didn't hammer me with the typical sales pitch. He is a professional and understands how car buying should be. I highly recomended stopping by if any car catches your eye as you will not be disappointed. Thank you for the amazing service!

I recently bought a 2000 911 Carrera from Shawn. This was by far the most pleasant experience I've had buying a car, from any source. The whole experience was very relaxed and laid back. Shawn is a true professional and let me decide if the car was right for me. All of the other staff were extremely friendly and accommodating as well, and all are incredibly professional. I would recommend SV Motorsport to anyone who wants a pleasant, easy car buying experience.

Finally found a place that not only fully services the car but provides such a high level of trust, thoroughness and perfection in what they do. It has taken a long time to find this and after 5 years of relying on Ranch & Coast Motorsport they have never disappointed. Prices are fair and whether they are serving the mechanical or body it has always completed beyond expectations.

Technology provides the tools to make car shopping easy but makes it more difficult to trust the seller. After a long search I found my dream car at SV Motorsports. Throughout the process, Shawn was responsive, well informed, and very trustworthy. I flew to San Diego to pick up the car and was not disappointed. It is refreshing to feel good about all parts of the transaction and know you will return for your next purchase. Thank you Shawn and SV.

Shawn made buying my first car such a pleasant experience! He was responsive, kind, and answered all my questions with ease. Everything was truly stress-free and I drove away in my new car completely satisfied and happy! Would recommend SV Motorsport to friends and family in a heartbeat.

I bought a GT3 sight unseen and had it shipped cross country. I worked with Shawn who was very responsive, and respectful. When the car arrived I took it to my local Porsche race shop for inspection and was told that this is the cleanest GT3 they had seen. I cannot thank Shawn enough for all his help and making sure the car was everything we discussed. I highly encourage anyone to purchase a vehicle from Shawn.

I wanted to tune my BMW, and after searching for the best place to perform the tune (dealer included), I came across SV Motorsport. After contacting Scott, he was extremely professional and courteous. The pricing was amazingly cheaper than the other shops I received quotes from. After dropping the car off, There was a small hiccup with the vehicle software which was the factory s doing. Scott immediately notified me and had the issue resolved within a day. If you are looking to have quality work performed on your luxury vehicle for an affordable price, SV Motorsport is the place to go.

I found SV Motorsports thru an internet search for a Rolls-Royce. I then met Shawn Lawler as part of my enquiry. Let me make very clear, Shawn is the direct antithesis of the typical "car salesman/dealer". A super nice guy, very helpful and knowledgeable. None of the text book cliche salesman nonsense often and typically seen with dealers. Very professional and a delight to deal with. I was unable to personally inspect the car and decided to buy it on my "gut feel" of the sort of person Shawn came across as. I was 100% right; the car was entirely as described without one single aspect of the car not being exactly as Shawn described. I don't know about others, but if you are completely "done" with the dishonesty and misleading conduct of many dealerships, well I can tell you, Shawn at SV is your guy to go to. Other dealers need to take a lesson.

I was in need of a new vehicle and my fiance forwarded me an ad for a 2014 Mini Cooper Roadster. I made and appointment via AutoTrader and was met with a prompt response from Shawn to set up a test drive.Upon reaching the dealership, I was met by Brian who was just about to deliver a message of another potential buyer for the Mini! I was like, oh no you don't mister! I was nervous about driving the 6 speed since it had been so long and Brian let me go solo so I wouldn't embarrass myself! I was hooked. I knew I wanted that little red sporty babe to be mine.The financing process was quick and painless. Hands down, best vehicle purchase I have ever had the pleasure to make. I am happy to now be a part of the SV family.Mahalo Shawn and Brian!

Brent was responsive, attentive and what I liked the most was that he did not oversell and over promise anything. He faced timed me to show me some of the cars features and made the transaction seamless. Fantastic experience and would highly recommend SV Motorsports and Brent.Thanks everyone great team

I am an out of state buyer and this process was easier than even purchasing in my home-state in person. Shawn is very knowledgeable, responsive, straight forward and a pleasure to work with. This won't be the only car I buy from him!

I find reviews with a clear 5/5 stars are not always honest in their assessment of the service. Understand that I will present a honest review of what I experienced as SV Motorsport - which was fantastic. There were a few things that I, personally, would have preferred were different - and I will detail these things, as well as the plethora of things that were excellent.I had Cornelius search for a particular automobile, with rather strict search criteria. The process took about 1 month of searching. In the end, he found a marvelous vehicle, fitting all the wants, while staying very close to my budget.Positives:-Cornelius put in a considerable amount of time searching. His emails were sent to me at least weekly, sometimes daily, and his responses to my almost endless questions were exceptionally prompt.-We had found several vehicles that I was interested in, but Cornelius stopped me from buying these. His judgement was very good in all these cases; most of the cars had something wrong, or not quite right. This showed that he was far more concerned about finding a good car for me, and not simply making his buck on commission.-After purchasing the vehicle, he touched up paint, and installed a shift boot with no extra charge.-Late calls, or emails were never an issue. In fact I picked up the car very late in the evening. I never felt like I was rushed, and I certainly felt like every question I could ask was answered.-He personally drove 3+ hours up the coast to inspect the vehicle we pulled the trigger on. Keep in mind, he's a small business owner, taking his time to go over the vehicle by hand before buying. Pretty damn impressive.Negatives-I was never quite clear on the amount of commission I would pay for the purchase. This number fluctuated a bit, and I got the vibe that this was not a flat fee. There were some numbers shot around over phone calls (which may be my mistake for not nailing down a solid number). It turned out the final number was a bit higher than I had expected. With this said, I must repeat that he looked at 100's of vehicles, and did put in considerable time in searching. This is not to say that he did not earn his commission! I would have just enjoyed a solid number, instead of a fluctuating, nebulous fee.-There seemed, in my opinion, to be a minor gerrymandering with final price of the vehicle. This is in addition to the fluctuating commission. Keep in mind, the amount in question was only $500, but nevertheless, an error like this, even if completely accidental did raise my eyebrow a little bit. Coupled with my previous statement on the matter of commission, I was left a little wary about this error. Now, with these two statements, one must have some perspective - I would have paid 4k more at most other dealers (at least) for the automobile that he found.-I never saw a bill of sale from where he bought the vehicle. This is not to say his price was not honest regarding what he paid - I just thought this would have been ready and available upon my request.This is now my 3rd car that I've purchased from SV Motorsport - and I'll be purchasing every foreseeable vehicle from Cornelius.

Easiest car buying experience ever. One phone call, three emails and it was a done deal late on a Friday. The car was loaded on a closed transport Saturday all arranged by SV Motorsport and delivered late Sunday afternoon in San Antonio TX! Unbelievable! The car is immaculate and exactly as advertised. Cornelius Green is the MAN!
