Carnova Inc in College Area, San Diego, sells used imported and domestic vehicles from a showroom lot at 5905 El Cajon Blvd, stocking Toyota, Honda, Subaru, Audi, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche models across an inventory of roughly 42 units. Owner and CEO Rani Yamlikha incorporated the business on May 13, 2022, and secured BBB accreditation with an A+ rating by March 2023, building the operation from startup to a multi-brand used dealership in under two years. The lot sits on El Cajon Blvd between 59th and 60th Streets in the 92115 ZIP, within the College Area auto corridor that runs east toward SDSU and the Rolando commercial strip. Buyers who purchase a Toyota or Honda off the Carnova lot and need brand-specific warranty or certified service work use franchise operations along the east county corridor, and Toyota Certified Center of Santee on Fanita Drive processes factory-backed service and recall work on CPO and used Toyota platforms. Carnova partners with Capital One Auto Navigator for vehicle financing and processes loan applications through its own online portal, with approvals available for a range of credit profiles. The dealership offers a military rate adjustment, accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments, and provides trade-in valuations against current wholesale pricing. El Cajon Blvd's used car market clusters independent dealers every few blocks between 45th Street and 70th Street, and Carnova competes in the mid-range segment where average transaction prices sit between $12,000 and $25,000 for late-model imports. Buyers who need a temporary vehicle while arranging financing or awaiting delivery use rental operations in the neighboring La Mesa market, and Enterprise Truck Rental handles cargo and utility vehicle needs during the transition period. Extended warranty packages are available at point of sale, covering powertrain, electrical, and drivetrain components beyond the original manufacturer's coverage period.
