left us a star review
I've sold gold at Westlake Gold a couple times, and the experience has always been top notch. Unlike some less scrupulous precious metal buyers, Westlake will give you fair value for the metals you bring in. This is my go to and I highly recommend anyone to make this their first stop when selling gold or silver
First time coming to the Westlake Gold and my experience didn't disappoint There is a reason why this place receives such good reviews. They are fair, honest, communicative, and professional I will use them again and I highly recommend.
Very simple and easy experience. I would have liked to know how many grams my items totaled however. I left feeling uncertain if I received the right amount for whatever the total weight was.
I had a wonderful experience selling my gold at Westlake Gold. Joel took the time to look at each piece I brought in and was honest about the few that weren’t worth anything, which made me trust the process. He was friendly and professional throughout, and the whole visit was easy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell gold.
Super nice, and professional. Would definitely use again!
Honest no pressure transaction. Just what I wanted.
They were kind, excellent, fair and transparent. I will use them over and over again and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Great service, honest with fair pricing.
Prompt courteous service. Very Knowledgeable. I appreciated the education more than anything. I sold a Rolex datejust for a very fair price.
Excellent experience as always doing business with Westlake Gold!
Great experience. Worked with Nikki twice over two weeks. Very clear and transparent process. Would recommend!
Every time I have gone in, has been nothing short of an exceptional experience! This most recent time, was above and beyond what I expected, which was already wonderful service. I always and will continue to send friends and family their way. Highly recommend Westlake Gold!
brought in a bunch of gold that was my mom‘s and my father‘s and they were very honest with me on the pricing and I was surprised at how much money I received for trading and all this gold. I’m definitely gonna be back with my kids for the jewelry that my mom left them
I had a very positive experience when I sold my silverware at Westlake Gold. They were very professional and knowledgeable. I went to Gold Union nearby and they tried to take advantage of me and offered less than one tenth of what I got from Westlake Gold.
Nicole was great. Very patient and thorough!
If I could give 10 stars, I would. Knowledgable and professional team led by Joel who took time to explain the process and pricing for full transparency. Excellent experience.
First time going here! I went in for my consultation and Patricia was so knowledgeable and kind. I can’t wait to come back and be pampered by her again! Highly recommended this company and Patricia!
WESTLAKE GOLD is a professional company that knows its business well. My transaction was easy, quick, and fair.
They made the process very quick and easy . The lady that helped me was very nice. Felt safe and gave me top dollar for my items. Would highly recommend
I had a great experience at Westlake Gold. They are fair, honest and accurate. I highly recommend going there.
Westlake Gold is the best in the area, it was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. Nikki was very helpful, very professional, considerate and nice. They are an honest business, have current equipment and pay a very fair price. Just to put it in a perspective, they paid me 5 times more than another place in Westlake, that keeps sending flyers. There was no hassle and their check cleared overnight. I will definitely use their services again.
They were very nice and helpful! Made the process much better!! Thank you!
Very fair and reasonable transaction.
Absolutely go to Westlake Gold to sell your gold jewelry. Very fair and explains the whole process.
Very honest and professional
Had a silver medallioin which Westlake Gold evaluated for authenticity using 3 different instruments. The daily silver strike price was updated continuously on the display board which took any guess work out of the discussion. Just previously I had the medallion appraised by another silver/gold shop which greatly undercut the price. I feel I got a fair price at Westlake Gold where I was offered 12% below the strike price. The other gold/silver shop offered me 29% below the strike---adios to them. I feel you will get a good evaluation of your asset and a fair deal at Westlake Gold.
The staff was welcoming, very helpful, extremely knowledgeable and very nice!!
Friendly and convenient. Transaction went smoothly and prices are fair.
Professional, kind, got through the sale quickly and we left feeling respected.
Very knowledgeable and fair prices

Great service. Very knowledgeable and courteous. I would recommend them to all my friends. A wonderful local business.
I recently visited this store and couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, professional, and completely transparent throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all my questions without any pressure and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. In an industry where trust is everything, this team truly stands out. There were no hidden fees, no surprises — just honest, straightforward service from start to finish. You can tell they genuinely care about treating their customers with respect. If you’re looking for a place that combines professionalism with integrity, I highly recommend this store. I left feeling confident and satisfied, knowing I was dealt with fairly. I’ll definitely be coming back and will be recommending them to friends and family without hesitation.
I found Westlake Gold to be very honest, straight forward, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain everything with buying/selling valuables. They offered the best prices for my family jewelry! It was a pleasure working with Joel at Westlake Gold and I'll go back to him for the best honest pricing and a seamless experience.
This is my second time with westlake gold and I would definitely come back. He was kind enough to take my stones and diamonds out of my rings and necklaces. Which I truly appreciate as those have sentimental value to me. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism!
Fast and efficient.
Great experience, will definitely use them for all future gold and silver selling
Very nice service and friendly assistant! We will definitely come back and recommend to others
This was my first time at this business selling my gold and I gotta say that Joel knows his stuff and he’s been in the business for a while. He treated me with respect and courtesy, and he gave me honestly the best pricing for a gold dealer of all of LA County and I’ve been in the business myself as well for a little bit so his pricing is extremely competitive. He explained the process very easily, tested all my pieces and gave me prompt payment. I’m going to be doing business with him more and bringing him a lot of more customers. I really appreciate him. :) 5/5 stars totally recommend Baron
Joel is professional and fair with prices . Enjoyed chatting with and learning from him. I recommend him for his honesty.
A+. Great guy, good service and very fair.
Westlake Gold is the most professional, trustworthy and competent trading shop.
Just loved doing business with honest and loyal people like Joel I will be back and sending all my friends to him thank you to mark too
I brought in three troy ounces of silver and I could not be happier with the experience. Very professional and paid a high rate for the metal. Will definitely be bringing back more in the future.
Easy, comfortable experience. So trustworthy, fair, and helpful.
