Allen Elhalabi made the purchase of my used GMC Sierra very easy. The truck had just arrived. Allen kept me informed as the truck went from the service dept., finance and on-site insurance. Each question I sent him was answered promptly. Thank you for a good purchase experience.
Recently purchased a 2020 Ford Explorer. Allen helped us out as soon as we walked in the door and made my wife and I feel comfortable through the whole process. We had gone to another dealer first and then went to oceanside to check out something else. The team found us something 4 years newer with less kilometers for basically the same price as the other vehicle we were about to purchase. Very happy with the experience at Oceanside. And would recommend working with Allen to anyone looking for a new vehicle.
I had a fantastic experience purchasing a used Hyundai Palisade from Walter Ticas, a GM dealership. Despite the dealership’s affiliation, Walter patiently educated me about the vehicle’s features and how they would fit into my daily life. His professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He negotiated a mutually agreeable deal and helped me finalize the purchase. I also want to thank Annie Coopman in the finance department for securing a great interest rate and an extended warranty at a reasonable price. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my purchase and highly recommend them for your next car buying experience.
I have recently bought a second hand new to me vehicle from Harris Oceanside GM in Parksville.
If you're looking to buy new or used, it's the place to go. Everyone was so polite and professional.
I was dealing with Walter Ticas and he made the transaction easy and smooth. He was nice and I would recommend Walter to any of my friends.
The after sales is also amazing. He made sure i made it home safely, (was snowing, ) and made sure everything was still good for me.
Thanks again Walter, I love my ride.🥰
We worked with Allen throughout our recent vehicle purchase of a 2023 Yukon XL, and we really appreciated his professionalism and patience during the process. Buying a vehicle was a big decision for our family, and Allen took the time to walk us through the numbers, answer questions, and keep communication open as we worked through different scenarios.
Even when the process took longer than expected and required multiple conversations, Allen remained respectful, responsive, and understanding of our need to be thorough and make the right financial decision. We never felt rushed or dismissed, and that made a big difference for us.
If you’re looking for a salesperson who is personable, transparent, and willing to put in the work to help you navigate a big decision, we’d recommend connecting with Allen. Thank you for your help and for sticking with us through the process. We LOVE our new vehicle!
Morgan Newton was exceptionally great at his job. He listened to my needs, was patient with all of my questions, and he worked diligently with me to find the right vehicle with all of the features that I wanted and needed, all while walking me through every step of the way. He was kind, thorough, and informative, and made my overall experience a positive one. Kudos to Morgan and Nate at Harris Oceanside... I love my new truck!!!!!

I recently purchased a vehicle from Harris Oceanside GM. I spotted a car I had been looking for and reached out. I was connected with Jon Spong, and from the word go he was an excellent sales person. Responsive to my numerous questions and requests, not pushy, and very open. We had some back and forth, and due to a couple factors I ended up shelving the idea. Jon was understanding and we left it at that. A couple weeks went by and Jon reached back out just to check in. Well as luck would have it my circumstances changed and maybe it was back on the table. Once again, excellent communication was the name of the game, and after a couple conversations we agreed to a deal.
The best part, despite being in the Fraser valley this deal was totally done remotely. All the paperwork was promptly handled by Annie in the finance department. Jon worked out a time and organized delivery to me. It was all handled incredibly well and I had real peace of mind knowing that this was the right choice in dealing with Harris Oceanside.
Navigating a vehicle purchase can be a challenging and stressful time, but Oceanside and particularly Jon Spong made this a seamless experience that left me feeling confident in my decision and their ability to ensure I was an incredibly satisfied customer.
I cannot recommend them enough.
Now if only the weather would cooperate!!
Love the Service staff here! Paula, Richard and Gerald have been phenomenal. I had been taking my vehicle here for years after I experienced poor service at another dealership. I recently took my vehicle for servicing elsewhere just out of convenience in the past year. What a bad idea. I got quoted for brake work and a leak in the intake manifold gasket. Since I got the gasket work done at Harris Oceanside a year previously I asked Paula and her team to see if there was still warranty left. There wasn't. It had expired a month previously. But they quoted me a reasonable price (nothing for parts and a deal on labour). They also said my brakes were still fine. The brakes would have cost me over $400 at the other place! This has taught me not to take my car anywhere else. Thanks for the honesty and integrity and incredible customer service!
Our experience was very good because Steve was a very straight shooter from first meeting him. He listened to what we wanted, arranged a test drive quickly and was very informative. There also was no pressure to buy something if you were not completely ready. He seemed honest and patient with us. We actually went home to think about the car overnight and came back the next day to make a deal. Again, Steve was organized and helped us through the process to finalize a deal with the Sales Manager. A very good experience all around. The price we got was very fair compared to other dealers that I looked at.
Having some knee problems, I was having to give up my manual Mazda Miata for an automatic transmission car. I wasn't sure which brand of convertible I wanted to purchase and I had already visited other dealerships to see what was out there. I visited Harris Parksville Oceanside and met Salesman Ryan Swailes who was very pleasant, knowledgeable, as well as instrumental in helping me determine which type of car I really wanted. I was extremely impressed with Ryan taking the time to ask me thorough and thoughtful questions which certainly helped me focus, and make the right decision as to the make of car I truly desired. After reflection of Ryan's questions, I knew I wanted another Miata however it had to be an automatic transmission. At the time, no Miatas were on his lot for me to look at. However, Ryan had kept me in mind, and I promptly received a call from Ryan a couple of days later letting me know one was available. And so after an examination of the car and taking it on a long test drive, we began negotiations. I am pleased to say that I received a generous trade-in allowance for my older Miata. I would also like to point out that Ryan worked very hard during our negotiations and that he, his Manager Steve Peters, and myself arrived at a satisfactory agreement with which I am very pleased. I am now the happy owner of once again, a Mazda Miata. Because of this great experience with Ryan Swailes and his Manager Steve Peters, plus the Service staff at Harris Parksville, I also look forward to having my Miata serviced at this dealership.
Our experience today was not stressful in any way. I felt our sales representative (Ryan Swailes) was very friendly. Unlike other salespersons we have dealt with in the past, I did not feel he was overbearing or pushy. It was a pleasure to deal with Ryan and we came away with a great vehicle at a reasonable price. He even treated us to lunch while we had to wait for a few things to be taken care of on the vehicle. I would have to say this surprised me. Thanks again, Ryan! May you have many more customers come your way. I'm sure they will be treated as well as you treated us.
Wonderful experience! Everyone was helpful and so kind, it was our first purchase through a dealership. We purchased a used Ford 2006 truck that had a little mishap with one of the mirrors. The mirror was damaged the night before we saw the truck. The staff sent us the new correct part just days later, they also offered to fix it on site but we were looking to take the truck that day. But our part arrived and our truck is as good as new! Definitely recommend this dealership! Painless purchase and the vehicle had a mechanic check, we could also speak to the mechanic onsite to discuss any worries may of had about the truck!
