These 5 stars go out directly to Micheal; he alone earned my business for being very honest, clear, and frank when he absolutely needed to. He was always pointed out numbers when I had to sign something, kept me in the loop very promptly, and I did not encounter anyone as honest and clear as he was. Thanks again Micheal 🙌 these stars are solely for you, I appreciate your help with my first purchase. Go to him if it’s your first purchase, he won’t let you down or be dishonest to get more money.

I came in for waranty work and Lance our service advisor was quick and efficient. I have had other dealerships make excuses and converted what should be warranty work into a considerable charge to get our car out. Nothing like that at this dealership. In fact it was considerable more work to get the job done than anticipated. Yet their integrity was unwavering. Toyota of El Cajon has earned my business. I will be back here again and again. My new home for my Toyota purchases and trust because of this one hard working rep Lance.

My service rep Lance is always helpful & great to work with. I noticed that there were not enough staff to keep the car turnaround time reasonable. I was there more than 3 hours for a minor oil change. That would be my only constructive feedback.

I want to personally say "Thank You Arbie Kenefick". This man honestly meant business and was straight forward from the jump. He was in my best interest and made sue i was well taken care of and explained the whole process with ease and comfort. Most care sales men push you forward and try and sweeten the deal but for their interest or the companies but not Arbie Kenefick. Toyota is a great company and every personnel their makes you feel at home. Toyota has a great guy on the team, and a great leader. from me to you if you are buying from Toyota of El Cajon my recommends are to Arbie Kenefick.

I was driving up to LA to buy a new Prius on a deal that was offered online. I called up Toyota of El Cajon and they took great care of me with the price they gave. I turned my car around and headed back to El Cajon for an amazing car buying experience. I bought my car from Vincent and worked with the manager Hiwa Khoshnaw who was a man of his word! I was very impressed by the help everyone offered me in getting setup. It went very quickly and I was off driving my new 2015 Prius. I had bought my 2005 Matrix from Vincent 10 years ago and he has been a man of integrity with the car buying process. My Toyota Matrix has 300,000 miles on it and it is still running great! I just need another car because it is time for my daughter to start driving. Toyota cars are the best especially from Toyota of El Cajon. I have taught school for the Khoshnaw kids through the years and now see them working doing an amazing job at Toyota of El Cajon! Thank you!

It is not often that I get to provide GOOD feedback on a car dealershiptoday is the day. To start, I should say that I was looking for a Toyota 4Runner, Trail, Premium, not a vehicle that is found in quantity in San Diego, in fact, there were was only one when I first started my search.Working through United Services Automobile Association (USAA)s Car Buying Service, there are only three Toyota Dealerships that USAA certifies; Toyota of El Cajon, Toyota of Poway and Toyota of Escondido. Escondido offered the greatest discount, so I went there first and was treated to a very inconvenient and somewhat sloppy Bait and Switch routine (Yes, I have described the incident to USAA). Next, and within $200 of the Escondido price, was Toyota of El Cajon, what a different dealership.From the start, I was treated with respect and professionalism. I had done my homework and knew the 4Runner, especially its off-road capabilities. I was on alert for what I expected to be typical salesman fluff and was surprised when I got none. My questions were answered with facts, not opinions and when my salesman didnt know the answer, he said so and promptly found out the answer from their staff of experts.Okay, so they are not feeding me what comes out of the South end of a bull walking North. Now lets find the specific 4Runner I want. I knew that there were two in Los Angeles and three in Phoenix, but I really didnt want to drive that far if I could help it. After a thorough search by my salesman and his boss, they found what I was looking for, freshly buildbutin Japan. It was scheduled to arrive in El Cajon in three weeks. They showed me the spec sheet and estimated delivery date.I had a USAA buying Certificate which had a guaranteed price significantly below the MRSP. Right up front, they honored the USAA Certificate and after nearly 4 hours of negotiating and haggling on my part, we agreed on a price. It was so low that I thought they will never actually sell me the inbound 4Runner for such a low price since the demand is high and supply low on 4Runners. At the last minute, after I wait three weeks, there will be a hidden extra cost that they didnt know about, assuming that I will simply roll over and pay the extra cost since I waited so long. I signed no papers and neither did they. They said that I would be notified when the 4Runner came in and they gave me their price work sheet with our agreed upon price.Fast forward almost four weeks (not bad considering it came across the Pacific Ocean) the 4Runner shows up; I am called. With all my mental alarms in high gear, I drove to the Dealership expecting the worst. I was disappointed. My salesman had all the paper work we had agreed upon and the price did not change one lick. All the conditions I had insisted on were met and the 4Runner (nice and shiny) was waiting for me. I even enjoyed going through the finance department for the final sign-off of the paperwork. In a few hours, I was driving home my new 4Runner and I couldnt have been more pleased.A special thanks to Michael Farhat, Hiwa Knoshnaw (Michaels boss) and even Jose Gomez (Finance Manager) for their composure, expertise and dedication to keeping me happy and relaxed.When my wife decides its time to buy that Prius she wants so bad, guess where well be going

I purchased my first car from Toyota of El Cajon 10 years ago and have been going back ever since! Jose Villegas is the best! He took wonderful care of me and my little Rav4 for a decade and he's the reason I purchased another Toyota this fall from Toyota of El Cajon. I worked with Omed and his team and they made the purchase process quick and easy. I was in and out with my new car in just a few hours! And proving he's the best ever, Jose took me on a second test drive with my new 4Runner to make sure I was comfortable with everything. I couldn't ask for more than that!

Questions: What makes a business great? Answer: It is the ability to rectify a mistake and going the extra mile to accomplish this goal. It is the fortitude and culture of a business to defend its good reputation by providing exemplary service to its customers. This is why I feel Toyota of El Cajon is a great business. They turned an unhappy customer into a loyal customer for life. For a car dealership, it is truly an extraordinary feat and high standard of ethics.Initially, Toyota of El Cajon made certain statement regarding payment. However, due to low credit score, Toyota Finance charged a higher interest thereby causing the agreed upon payment to go up. Once, the owner of this family owned dealership, Gary Kaminsky became aware of this issue, he immediately took action. Gary, in fact, used his influence and persistence to get Toyota Finance to reverse their decision regarding the rate tier. Garys staff and managers work relentlessly with Toyota to resolve this issue. Sales manager, Paul Sphabixay, went above and beyond the call of duty to tenaciously remain involved until the matter was fully resolved. Ross, the sales person was a perfect gentleman and acted as such throughout the transaction. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by the dealers steadfastness in making this car buying experience a perfect transaction. I would recommend this family owned dealership to my friends and family for a straightforward car buying experience. Off course, I shall return to this dealership whenever I need a new car.

Toyota of El Cajon is the ONLY Toyota dealership that will get my business from here out. I just bought my new car a couple days ago and the staff made sure that this was my best car buying experience ever. It was crystal clear to me that the thing they cared about most was earning a customer for life, rather than earning one car sale today.I personally met the GM, and spent time chatting with him while my paperwork was getting ready for the finance department. Gary was a pleasure to work with, as was Alexis, Paul, Simeon, and Bashir in Finance. My personal thanks to all of you.*Also, I went in with my kids (which is never easy for car shopping), all the staff was more than friendly to them, and there is a huge pirate ship that they could climb all over and interact with. So the kids not only had fun, but they were sad to leave.Thanks again, you'll see me and my family down the road.

We recently visited Toyota of El Cajon to check out a certified pre-owned Toyota RAV4 and were greeted by Omed, who was very courteous. We had also brought along our 17-month old who was certainly active and at times needed attention but Omed and staff were very patient with us. One big saving grace is the kids play-area (a huge pirate ship) inside the sales floor, which kept our little one well occupied for the majority of our time there. We actually ended up purchasing a 2014 RAV4 and were very satisfied with our buying experience. Omed and the rest of the staff at El Cajon Toyota were professional and very willing to work with our finance constraints and our needs in terms of car features. They took time to help us understand all our options throughout the process, which we really appreciated. We would certainly recommend Toyota of El Cajon to anyone!

My wife and I decided to give Toyota of el Cajon a shot at our business. We had taken a couple of test drives with other dealers but the other dealers did not have the color and options we wanted. We made arrangements with Marwan Fakhoury (Sales Manager) to come in and test drive a specific car at a pre arranged price with the intent to purchase that night. We went into the dealership and we are assigned to Simeon Okosun. We started our test drive and once we reached the freeway I asked that we drive for a few miles as we were planning to buy this specific car in the next hour. Simeon told us that we needed to pull off at the next exit and we were only allowed to drive 1 exit before buying a brand new $28,000 car. I explained to Simeon that to feel comfortable spending this much money we wanted to drive at least 3-4 miles to feel comfortable. With my wife driving the vehicle she was already getting nervous with a man sitting behind her being very rude and abrupt with us and telling us to pull over and that the test drive was over. Personally, I understand that we came in at 8pm and the night was almost over but we had pre arranged the drive and purchase price already with the sales manager, it was a slam dunk sale for them as we and had cash in hand. Simeon said we were stupid to want to drive more than 1 exit and he had been doing this for 15 years and no one needs to drive more than 1 exit to test out a car. I told Simeon he was being extremely rude and acting like an as&ho&e. He proceeded to start yelling at both my wife and I that we were pieces of shi& and he made more money than us and he would bash our faces into the ground the moment he got out of the car, as well as his son was more obedient than us.... Needless to say he went from 0-crazy in a matter of seconds. After over 20 threats on our life and hitting the back seat and screaming at the top of his lungs at us.....all while I called his manager and had him on speaker phone the entire time for him to hear the exact threats he was making! I decided to call the police, who were dispatched to secure our safety. After the Sales Manager offered us to take the car as loaner, Laura Brewer the PR person from the dealership called to apologize. She was very nice and apologetic. I felt that the sales manager and PR person cared to apologize but I did wonder what the owner Greg Kaminsky thought about the situation. I was told that the owner would call a couple of days later. After 5 business days later and no call or care from the owner combined with the fact that I called the dealership today and found out that Simeon was rewarded with his behavior with only being suspended from work for a day and was able to keep his job, I decided to write this review. Simeon Okosun was allowed to threaten customers lives all while being on speaker phone with the sales manager and the only discipline he received was a day suspension. On top of that the owner was requested to contact me regarding the situation and he felt it was not worth his time. The very next day we went to Toyota of Carlsbad and purchased the very same car and were in and out of the dealership in 2 hours. I recommend that Toyota car buyers find any other Toyota dealership in San Diego other than El Cajon.

Simeon was very dishonest with me and my husband. We were looking to buy a 4runner and Simeon had assured us he had the vehicle in the color we wanted even though it didn't show up in the online inventory. We decided to drive around the lot to take a look at it. We didn't see it so we drove around to the back and we still couldn't find it. The next day my husband stopped by to talk with Simeon personally. He was with a customer. When my husband let him know that he was there to look at the 4runner he said " I am sorry I just sold it to the lady sitting at my desk" Well that's okay. My husband asked to take a look at the vehicle anyway because he has only seen the "blizzard white" in photos. His excuse was that it was in the "wash bay" So he wasn't able to see it. My curious husband drove to the back anyway where they wash the cars and there was no 4runner anywhere. Then as my husband was leaving the dealership, he saw the same lady that he supposedly sold the 4runner to, get into her own vehicle and drive away. Simeon lied to us, wasted our time and gas. He never had the vehicle to begin with. I also found out from an honest dealership that if it is not in the inventory, it is illegal to have for sale on the lot. I did not appreciate Simeon's dishonest sales tactics. I will definitely spend my 35k elsewhere.

About a month ago, my dad and I accompanied my grandma to purchase a new car from this dealership. As we drove up to the front, we saw three well-dressed gentlemen standing there. We were initially a little afraid that they might all, well, jump on us in a sort. However, that was not the case.One of the men strolled over to us and introduced himself as Michael Bojorquez as he took the time to shake each of our hands and learn our names. Then, he got straight down to business, asking my grandma why she had come to Toyota of El Cajon. She, naturally, responded that she wanted to purchase a new car and then added she was interested in looking at a Camry. Michael led us over to their selection of Camrys and my grandma seemed to fixate on a black one. Michael was so knowledgeable about that specific car, but also about the Camrys in general. However, my grandma said despite all the great features the car displayed, she really, above anything, wanted a sun/moon roof. So, Michael guided our group over to the Corollas.Again, my grandma went over to a black one and Michael once again gave us all the information on the car and the Corollas. My grandma decided she wanted to give it a test drive and Michael quickly went to get the keys. On our drive, Michael offered even more facts about the Corolla and pointed out things like how easy it was to drive and how smooth its ride was, all while navigating us on a course back to the dealership and while chatting to the rest of our group. After the test drive, my grandma was eager to purchase the car. Michael showed us inside and to his desk. Before he even sat down, he offered us all refreshments, which we graciously accepted. While we were closing the deal on the car, Michael and his manager never seemed like they were trying to slide things in that would cost more money and the end price was more than reasonable. We never once felt like we were being taken advantage of and both men were up to negotiate price and conditions. Afterwards , Michael showed us around the dealership, which was so impressive! Then, he guided us over to a waiting lounge while we waited to speak with the financial officer and for our car to be "spiffed up". It was a bit of a wait to be honest, but the officer made up for any inconvenience with his professionalism. Once all the paperwork was completed and our car was ready, Michael rejoined us. He asked if we had any further questions and just double checked to make sure my grandma knew how to operate all the features of the Corolla.Overall, my family and I were so impressed by this dealership and especially Michael. He was very nice and so knowledgeable and anybody who goes here should ask for him. He's great! Toyota of El Cajon really delivered fabulous service and a comfortable atmosphere! I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a car!

I leased my second Prius, this time at Toyota of El Cajon. I was very happy with the service I received from the entire staff, but especially from Robin Wyatt, my sales consultant. She was dependable and anticipated many of the questions I would ask. There was a moment when I thought there would be a problem, because a previously agreed upon lease term had expired. But Robin worked with her manager to honor our original agreement.

While the staff at Toyota of El Cajon has always been helpful, it is Omed that brought me back. I first met Omed in 2011 when I purchased my RAV4. After a recent accident I brought my RAV in to Toyota EC to see if I could trade it. Omed worked with me and did everything possible to get me into another vehicle that I felt comfortable in. He was never pushy in all the times I have dealt with him, and is very attentive and compassionate. Unlike car salesmen from other dealerships, Omed and the staff of Toyota EC do not feed you bull s*%# to get you to buy the car. If Omed left Toyota EC, I would most likely follow him to another dealership. He is a huge asset and the main reason why I went back to Toyota EC.

Scott Miller ( SANTEE CERTIFIED ) has been handling all my service needs for all of my vehicles for years. Took my new Prius in for it's first oil change ( 5K ) just couldn't wait for the 10K as recommended by toyota for vehicles using full synthetic. Scott had originally told me I could wait until 10k but I'm just old school. I can trust Scott for all my service needs and never have any worries about the service being preformed. The techs are great and my vehicles are serviced professionally every time.....Scott is a great information source and it's nice to be able to trust a dealership.Hope everyone has a great holiday seasson...

The worst experience we have ever had at a dealership. They are bullies who have no respect for their customers. This is supposedly a family dealership but had absolutely no problem with cursing at us in front of our children because we wanted to test drive first instead of talk numbers. We would never recommend this dealership. The customer most definitely does not come first here. Larry and Ray have no business in this line of work.

I had done a great deal of preparation in terms of online reviews and Consumer's Report reviews. I prepared what I thought was a fair offer, and it was accepted. The whole process was very smooth, and all my questions have been answered.

Everybody was very courteous. Even when they were busy, they make sure you're all right. There is also a giant wooden ship for kids to play in!Edit: About two weeks after I got the car, it wouldn't start anymore, and I ended up having to tow the car back to my apartment. We went back to Toyota of El Cajon, and they offered to try and repair it, free of charge. Ended up just being a loose ground wire that they tightened for us and gave us the car back within a few hours. We had also discovered that there was an incorrect battery installed in the car [battery was too small], so we had bought a new one, and Toyota reimbursed us for the battery AND the tow. Through this, I had spoken with Daniela who was very courteous, very on top of things, and followed up to make sure I received the check. All is well again.

I have been to 3 other dealers in SD over the past several years and have walked away because of the high pressure job from their salesmen. We knew what we wanted to look at and came into Toyota of El Cajon rather defensively because of the experience we had the day before. We were in for a pleasant surprise.I had called the day before to ask about the truck we were looking for, so when I called today and said I'd be in in 30 mintues, it was sitting out front waiting for us to test drive. Ryan met us and without a lot of chit chat, took us out on a test drive. He calmly answered all our questions as we were driving. As we were signing papers, Ryan took them back to have the manager sign off, only to find out that there was a major problem. The truck had been mismarked. By a LOT. The manager was unable to authorize the sale or get ahold of the owners to find out what to do, so they promised us they would put the truck in the back, and call us as soon as they had spoken with the owners. Ryan made sure no one else could show it. Ryan called us with the good news the next day that the owners had the integrity to keep their word on the truck, even though they lost quite a bit of money on the deal. During the entire process we never felt any pressure, but rather the opposite - that they were going to do their best to try to make this work. Having a salesperson who we felt was working for our benefit even though he was now not going to make any commission, and owners that stood behind their word, gave us confidence that we were dealing with a car dealership where integrity and honesty were part of their mission -not just making moneyThank you so much, Toyota of El Cajon. You will be our 'go to' car dealer from now on. We won't even have to go through the pain of searching other dealerships. When we want a car, or need parts or service, we will be here even though it is not the closest dealer in town! You are a 5 in our book for the obvious reasons listed above!

I cannot stress enough how wonderfully professional this dealership is. I was treated with courtesy and prompt professional follow up from the first call I made before driving out to El Cajon all the way through to today, the day after I drove my new car home. Even if you live no where near this dealership, it is worth your while to make the trip. I tried 2 other Toyota dealerships closer to my home first and at both was treated as if I knew nothing. When I explained I had done my research prior to arrival, I was questioned about it and basically made to feel that I was lying. Toyota of El Cajon respected me from the first moment, made me a very fair and honest deal, stuck to their word and won me as a customer for life. I look forward to returning for replacement of my other car in about 18-24 months and also returning for service. If the service is half as good as the sales department I will never have my car serviced anywhere else. I want to personally thank Jackie, Fernando, Bill and most of all Tony Butler, and all of the other friendly faces I saw there. Keep up the good work!--- Friends should never let friends buy a car anywhere else!--- Shawn Dooley

On June 16th 2012, My Husband Mike & I decided to go visit the Toyota dealer in El cajon to take a look at the FJ cruiser. When we arrived at the dealer ship we got off our Jeep and began to walk the premesis. We were approached by one of the sales person named Omed...he was a friendly and smiling face so early in the morining. We informed him that we were there to see the FJ cruiser. He quickly! then began to walk us towards the vehichles that were available on the lot. These cars were beautiful!!!Mike and I began to discuss a little of our back ground and what we would like to see happen. Omed, said! lets take this out for a ride and if this is what you guy's like we will make it happened. so we did...anyway, to make a long story short! we did not leave with the FJ Cruiser but with the BEAUTIFUL Venza!! Omed,Diego,& the finance manger made this happen...we had such a great experience with everyone involved in this purchase that if ever we decide to one day get the FJ Cruiser we will return to visit Toyota of El Cajon....thank you everyone for not being pushy!! but for being great sales personal.

My mother and I came to the dealership just to check out the Prius c. We didn't have an appointment set up, but the front desk lady was able to find a salesman who would help us out. We waited and finally Michael greeted us, but could not help us out right away, so we waited again. My mom was losing her patience, but when Michael was able to help us out with no distractions everything was smooth sailing from there.Michael was very helpful, friendly, and made us feel like the decision to purchase a car was completely in our hands. Some salesmen are pushy and that attitude is a off putting, especially when making a big purchase. He was not like this at all and this made my experience at Toyota of El Cajon the best that I have ever had at a car dealership.

I was originally helped by a salesman named Joe who was very nice, easy going, and no pressure type of salesman which I liked. The next time I came back Joe was out so Omed helped me and he was outstanding. Very personable and treated me like family. He explained everything in detail for me and if he didn't know an answer to my question instead of giving me some BS he actually said he didn't know the answer but would get the answer for me. I really appreciated his honesty. The Sales Manager was really cool as well and made me a fair deal. I shopped my credit union after getting their offer and they could only match what Toyota of El Cajon's deal and actually said I negotiated an outstanding deal which made me feel good about Toyota of El Cajon. I really enjoyed my experience here and would recommend them to my family and friends. The other nice thing for me is that they have a smaller dealership/service center in Santee where I live so servicing my new 2012 Tacoma TRD Sport will be very convenient for me.

Why would you give a customer a car thats leaking oil back to them and not say anything about it thats a hazard and could cause a death! 2. They are dishonest they are just trying to save themselves saying the car has a defect. 3. Jose is so rude and doesnt even apologize for what happened.

What a great experience! We went to see what the new Prius V looked like. It was too small for us. We said we liked the Avalon and looked at one on the lot. It wasn't what we wanted. Asked Omed to keep his eyes open for a really nice one and left. We hadn't even made it home and he called us to come back. One just came on the lot right after we left. We went back, saw the car, beautiful condition, made a great deal, and now have our beautiful new used car. Very happy with the whole experience. No pressure, treated fairly, willing to negotiate. This is how buying a car should be all the time.

Omed was professional and courteous, walking me through the application process. He was responsive to my interest in tailoring the vehicle's features to meet my budget and needs. As a result, I have exactly what I want, without paying for "frills" I do not value. His ability to deliver this is backed by an excellent team, including the owners of the dealership. The Assistant Service Manager, David Anderson, worked the financials such that, at the decision to go forward with the purchase, I felt that the price was the best and one we both could accept without regret.

I went to this dealership because I saw highly rated reviews on internet. But I got a big surprise...Summary: I originally went there to have them estimate my car for a trade-in value, and get a quote for a new corolla because I am planing to buy one within a few weeks. I accidentally left my driver license at home. They had me drive back home(20 min one way), and told me to come back when I'm actually ready to buy. They did not even give me a trade-in value I came in for. Great customer service.More detail: before I went, I made an appointment with Hiwa, and when I got there, another guy called Michael sand "hi, I'm Hiwa". I kept thinking he was Hiwa, until I saw his name tag when he handed his business card. I don't have to talk to Hiwa (since I've never met anyway), but what kind of person would say "I'm Hiwa" to my face with his name tag saying "Michael"? I am not a 3 year old. Michael also tried to have another sales person to deal with me, but he refused to do it as soon as I told him I'm not buying today. Michael also told me the deal I saw on their website isn't there by showing me a different web page showing $15,999 more on the price. I came home and still see the deal $15,199 on your website! Don't lie to me. "Come back when you are ready to buy"? Do you think I'll come back and buy from someone who lied his name? NEVER! No matter what deal you give me. Actually, I already got a better deal than $15,199 (which they never gave me anyway, just say so on the website) from another Toyota in town. Bye-bye, Toyota of El Cajon.

My husband and I purchased a used 2011 Chevy Malibu from Toyota of El Cajon on Sunday.... We did not have a very good experience. The car we got did not have all of the features that we were told that it had. Upon reading our manual and going thru the steps to use the features the next day we noticed that the blue tooth, XM radio and On Star were not equipped like we were told. We got a call and were told that we had to bring the car back in the next day because the car had an oil leak and was not suppose to be sold because it had to go to another dealership to be looked at. When we brought the car back in and my husband explained that the features were not in it as the salesman said they were. The salesman came over and still was trying to say that the car had the features. Luckily the service guy said that the car did not have the features and He said that they would check it out and see what they can do and that they would be sending it to the Chevy dealer to have the oil leak looked at.. They still have the car and we were told that the car we just spent $19664.90 on Sunday evening doesnt actually have an oil leak it is just a little seepage so they wont need to fix it..... I just cant feel really good about a $19664.90 car without the features that I was told it had and the has a little seepage.....The sad thing is that the features that we were suppose to have gotten were on the sticker of the car, I know because I have the copy of the sticker on the car. I think this is common practice because online right now they have cars that say they have features that they are not equipped with.... IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAR NEW OR USED I WOULD NOT RECOMEND GOING TO TOYOTA OF EL CAJON OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES. THEIR ARE SO MANY PLACES TO PURCHASE A CAR IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, I AM SURE THAT THEIR ARE DEALERSHIPS THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS BETTER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR SALESMEN ARE NOT SELLING FEATURES THAT THEIR CARS DO NOT HAVE.

my mother and I went out looking for a reliable vehicle for a good price, and Toyota was the first place we stopped to look. We looked around at some other dealers in the area and were uncomfortable with the service we got so we decided to go back to Toyota of El cajon when we were approached by Omed Marwan. Right from the start he was friendly, professional, had a great sense of humor and never pressured us once. He seemed very dependable and made us feel very at home and comfortable. I really have nothing bad to say about his service except that i wish we could have negotiated the price a little more. The sticker price seemed set in stone which was kind of a bummer, but i dont fault him for that because i think it was his managers call. other then that little hiccup i thought our experience could not have been better. It was very quick, smooth and painless experience and Omed is a great salesman for the team at Toyota of El Cajon, and i would recommend him to anyone looking for a new/ used vehicle.

I would recommend Toyota of El Cajon to anyone is in the market for a new/used vehicle from Toyota. We were greeted with a firm handshake and a smile by Carlos Arriaga and were shown around the lot. After discussing our needs with Carlos, he helped narrow our search to a couple of vehicles which fit our needs. Carlos was very knowledgeable in the line we were looking at and was still open to our comments to see if we can narrow our search even further. We ended up finding the perfect vehicle that fit our needs and was introduced to Michael Bullord who is the Finance Manager. Michael also greeted us with a firm handshake and a smile and sat down with us to see what was available financially so we can make this deal happen. That day, we were in a time crunch and both Michael and Carlos respected that. Michael kept his word that he will meet our time frame and did not skip any details. We were extremely happy with our purchase and the fact that both Michael and Carlos respected our time crunch and didn't miss any details during our deal. I highly recommend Toyota of El Cajon to all!

Their could be no better car buying experience than going to Toyota of El Cajon. I drove up got out of my car and was immediately greeted by Omed who introduced himself to me and the three members of my family. I told him that i was looking to trade in my car and what i was looking for in a new car, and aside from being extremely nice and curtious he was very professional and knowledgable about the type of car i was looking for. When i picked out the car that i wanted we went over the car and he knew every answer to every question i had which showed that he had experience in selling cars. When we went inside to work out the deal Omed introduced me to Marwan who was very nice and curtious as well as professional. As we worked out the deal i could not believe the price that Marwan would give me for my trade in, it was more than i expected to get which was amazing also the price and payment of my new car could not have been better than what i was getting i could not ask for better service from Marwan as well. Omed and Marwan work excellent as a team and they both listen to your concerns and what you expect to get out of buying a new car and they give you just that i could not ask for better service. The next day after i bought the car Omed called and asked me how i liked my car and if the car was doing fine i wish that every salesperson cared about the product they sold and also cared about how their customer felt about the purchase and their feelings. I wish that every dealership worked and operated as well as Toyota of El Cajon, the service i got from Omed and Marwan was outstanding. I would absolutely recommend Toyota of El cajon as well as Omed and Marwan to family and friends who were interested in buying a toyota.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. I was met at dealership by salesman Paul Petrocco and immediately felt very welcomed. I was interested in a used Toyota Camry SE that I had found online and he took me for a test drive. He was very open and honest and I never felt any pressure. The price was very fair and I loved the car so we decided to start some paperwork. Once inside I was introduced to Mike Bullard. Both Mike and Paul were able to work with me on a price that was both fair and one that I was comfortable with. They were very honest and were able to show me exactly what was going on. There was nothing hidden and everything in my deal was shown and explained to me. Mike was in charge of showing my options with the warranty and insurance. He showed me various options and then helped me to decide on the most important and was able to keep everything in my price range. I had a great car buying experience and I recommend Toyota of El Cajon, especially Paul and Mike. I know I will be back to visit them and I feel as though I will be a customer for life.

The service from Omed was absolutely amazing. He was attentive and responsive from the first time we walked in last week until the final sale was made today. My family and I went to a total of 10 dealerships, five of which were Toyota and not one came even close to the customer service we received at Toyota of El Cajon. Marwan was great too. He was very calm, not pushy, and listened to our every need and answered all our questions in detail. I have to say the two of them make a wonderful team and have excellent chemistry. I will recommend them to family, friends and co-workers. My family and I will definitely will buy our future cars at Toyota of El Cajon. Thank you Omed and Marwan for a wonderful experience.

Being from North San Diego, my wife and I had our doubts about driving far to Toyota of El Cajon. But we are glad we did, now. It turned out to be our best car shopping experience in years. Actually, they were the second car dealer we visited that day and they provided us the best customer service by far. When we arrived at their car lot, we were greeted courteously by one of their sales consultants, Martin Garrett. He was very professional with the right personal touch of making you feel at ease and he was never pushy. He was very knowledgeable and he answered all the questions we had to our satisfaction. In hindsight, all the people that we come into contact that day at the dealership like Robert Hans and Gustav Proka were the same. Their credit application process was a breeze compared to the other Toyota dealer that we went to. We didnt have to waste any paper or ink because Martin just entered all our pertinent info directly into their computer. Toyota of El Cajon really got it right as far as customer service and satisfaction is concern. From the simple gesture of asking us customers if we wanted any refreshments (we opted for water) to patiently explaining to us the nuances and features of our newly bought vehicle, they were the best in customer service. Absolutely, we highly recommend them! BTW, we have visited many Toyota dealers through the years this was our third Toyota vehicle purchase.

Went to the dealership to take at a Tacoma that I saw online and was considering trading my car in for. After taking a test drive and talking with the Sales Rep, I was sold on buying the new car. I never felt like I was at a typical car dealership and the customer service was top notch. Paul (my sales rep) was very professional and cared more about getting me into the right car that I was happy with than he did about making the sale, which is a relief compared to past buying experiences. Never once did I feel rushed or pressured. Anna in finance made the whole paperwork signing process quick and painless. After everything was done, Paul and Anna went above and beyond what I had previously experienced and ensured all my questions were answered and everything with the new tacoma was perfect. I would definitely recommend this dealership to friends and will return when it's time to buy a new car.

I am not a fan of shopping for cars but it was that time again for me. When I first arrived to the dealer I started looking and was not preyed upon by any salesman for at least 15 minutes. I was then greeted by Robert Petty who was more interested in selling me the car I wanted then he was about how much money I had or made. After meeting Robert's boss, (who's name I forgot) they both worked as a team to help the deal go quick and painless. They were both very easy to deal with and did not try and get me to agree to anything I was not comfortale with. After a handshake on a deal, came the ever painful and boring financing signing part. Usually it's very bland but from the moment I was introduced to Ying, the process was very quick and easy, and fun which was not expected. Her attitude was positive and great and she had a great sense of humor which made it alot easier then any other dealership. After some funny conversations the paper's were all signed and I was out the door in no time. Ying is very good at what she does and she has fun doing it which isn't something I've ever seen. Unfortunately I got hit the next day in my car which was not fun. I had to drop off some keys from the car I traded in and each one of these people came out and shook my hand and asked if I was okay. Not something I expected but if it turns out that my vehicle is totaled, I will be back and will hopefully get to deal with Robert, his boss, and Ying again. These 3 are very dedicated to what they do, and care about making the customer satified before leaving.

We had decided on what we wanted already and I found a 2011 Toyota Vanza online that matched the description of what we wanted. I called and Fernando answered to confirm they did have the vehicle I was looking for. I drove in around 830PM on a Sunday night and Robert met me to show me the car. I only needed a short test drive since I already knew this is what we wanted. After the drive, we came in to work on the deal. We had to negotiate for about 20-30 minutes to arrive at the same rate another dealer had offered me for the same car in a different color. In the end we reached my target monthly payment. Once in the finance department with Gustav, based on my credit, he then lowered my interest rate by almost 2% on the spot, bringing my payment down even more. In the end, everyone was very friendly and we closed the deal close to midnight on a Sunday, but everyone was positive and nice throughout despite the late hours. Amazing and clean dealership. Very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone else in the market in San Diego for a Toyota. Best of the 5 Toyota dealerships we visited.

This is our 2nd car from EC. We have moved out of town since we bought our first Camry and have a Toyota dealership less than 2 miles from our new home but once you get great service... it's worth making the drive back to EC. We had called ahead of time to see if EC had the car in stock we wanted. We set up our appointment with Paul, even changing our appt by moving it up by one day, which was no problem. The car was upfront, washed, and ready for us to test drive and make the deal when we got there a day early. Paul was friendly, quick, efficient, and very helpful (even took the time to set up our blue tooth). Ying, from finance, also did a great job! Thank you both! You have continued to make us happy EC Toyota owners!

Well, Fernando was very friendly and informative. He didnt offer too much info. He waited and was available to answer questions. He was different from all other dealerships we have been to in the past six months. He wasnt giving us 20 questions. He let us look at cars and he quickly responded with keys when we wanted to see a car. I appreciated the fact that he read us well. He gave us space, he would always take a few steps back as to let my husband and i talk. We also appreciated the fact that he didnt go on about his personal life and how his kids want cars etc... like every other sales man has done. He just focused on our questions, didnt ask any of us. He was ready to serve quietly and respectfuly. I bought another car from him the next day. Also, i have two more kids 20 yrs old and 18 yrs old and i plan to go back to him and buy two more cars before this year is over. The finance guy was great also. He explained many things to us and he took his time doing it. He was very pleasant.

The salesman, Paul Petrocco, was very receptive to me and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about the product he was selling. I went to 2 other Toyota dealerships in the area, and none of the sales people at those other dealerships knew what they were talking about, and I even had to announce my presence to get their attention. Not with Paul; he greeted me outside the front door and went right to work. Robert Hans showed me several financing options, and was quick to address my concerns about interest rates, the term of the loan, and the value of my trade-in.I already knew that my truck was on the dealer's lot because their inventory is online, but even if they didn't have it yet, I would have waited for them to get it because Paul was so knowledgeable, and because Robert gave me a deal that was acceptable to me.Ying Pan went over all of the paperwork, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood everything.This is my 3rd time buying a new vehicle (my 3rd new Toyota truck in 20 years), and the experience I got at Toyota of El Cajon was the best of the 3. Everyone I dealt with at Toyota of El Cajon was very friendly and very detail-oriented.

The reason why I rated all so highly is that Jose has always provided excellent customer service to me. I would recommend him for employee of the month. Jose was not available when I purchased my vehicle so I worked with Fernando. I also would rate him highly he provided excellent service.

I was recommended to this dealership by my mother. She bought her first Toyota from the same sales associate and same dealership. Simeon and Ying were awesome! They made the whole process very comfortable for me. Simeon went far and beyond to make sure I left with a car I liked and could afford. Thank you to the whole Toyota of El Cajon team.

Ying Pan and Guillermo Duarte made our purchase incredibly easy and even pleasant. They handled every detail as promised and to the complete satisfaction of my wife and myself. Never have we had a better experience in purchasing a new car. To be specific: 1. The car was delivered as promised, in every respect. 2. Negotiation was easy, honest and fair; we are satisfied. (As recently as three weeks ago we walked out of a BMW dealership checkbook in hand because the purchase of a 5 series BMW was not as we were led to expect - we have purchased five new BMW's since 2002; we are not "push overs".) 3. Ying Pan and Guillermo Duarte made sure we understood the features of the car. 4. They were personable without being obsequious; they were also prompt and professional. I think it is easy to see why we shall return for future purchases.

Hans helped me pick out the perfect truck for my life style; A truck I would be able to use for work and all my hobbies. Hans was able to answer all the questions I had. Along with Hans, Colette, and Marwan were the other Toyota associates who assisted me in the purchase of my new vehicle.

After signing up with pricequotes.com some other equivalent online site I was first contacted over the phone by Ross Miran who was very nice and he offered very competitive pricing beating a good deal I was going to get from Toyota of San Diego. I first test drove the car at Toyota of San Diego. I would have worked with them and likely bought one there but they didn't have the model/color I wanted. Ross confirmed that they had the color(at least the one I thought I wanted at the time Pre-Dawn Mica) so that's what brought me to Toyota of El Cajon. Their inventory was much larger. I also thought the facility was nice too. They had a play area for the kids(pirate ship, my son liked that), and a movie room for kids. I thought the free snacks and water was a nice touch as well. When I arrived Ross had the day off so I worked with Ernesto who was very nice and took me on another test drive, this time with my wife. He answered all of our questions and took the time to show us all the features of the minivan. I had asked to see a car with the Cypress Pearl color because I hadn't seen one yet so he took us into one of their garages and we found one but it was in a lower trim line that what I was interested in. After seeing it we really liked that color but they didn't have one like we wanted. Ernesto called me back and told me he would find me the one I wanted and he did. A few days later he made a trade with another dealership and got me the car I wanted. When it came to financing I was surprised that your financing dept was able to better the rate I was getting from my credit union but Anna Caruso made it happen. I came into the deal not knowing exactly how the process worked and wasn't prepared with a cashiers check ready for the down so I thought she great in letting us put the down on our credit cards. I appreciate her efforts in helping us get around this(rather than having me go back to my bank and having to come back another day to get the car. She was very friendly had us out of there pretty quickly.

They explain everything that was going on so I would feel like I was a part of the decision making. They listen to me and made me feel important. Just as important as someone with alot of money. I am looking forward to when I can buy another car from them. They are a great bunch of people. The whole process went so smoothley. It's the only dealership that called me back in the next day after I brought the car and told me I was getting a lower interest rate. That made my payment smaller and they gave me a 36 month warrenty along with that. Colette explain everthing about the conract and what I was signing. She let me know things I did not know about. I would refer any of my family there and my friends.

The financing took too long... it was about 4 hours long. We said what we wanted which was no downpayment and no payment higher than our current payment and each time they came by to show an option they wanted a downpayment and the payment was higher... they try this a few times before they came back with an option that worked for us. The time it took for them to listen to us was too long.

So, we went back and Khar helped us get a great deal. He helped us consider all options of buying a used (certified) car or leasing a new car. There was no pressure at all and Khar sincerely cared about fitting our needs and budget. The buying experience could not have been better. The paperwork process was completely painless and Colette made sure we understood everything, was exact in explaining everything we were signing. We were very comfortable with the entire process.

The employees were very friendly and helpful. I was there to purchase a car for my mom and they made her feel comfortable and special. When we took delivery of the car, despite being busy, Omed took the time to go over all of the features with my mom and answer all questions that she had. He also introduced us to a service representative that she could contact directly with any issues. The purchase process took a little longer than I would have liked, but I think that is largely attributable to how busy the dealership was. Nevertheless, while waiting, we were offered beverages and snacks, and had access to comfortable seating, internet and television. If anything, I would simply reccommend making an appointment if possible. Overall a positive experience.

I live in San Diego so I looked on google to see what dealerships were out there for new Toyotas. A friend of mine had told me about Toyota of El Cajon so I decided to give it a shot. These guys are crooks and tried to screw me. They basically tried to steal my car in the trade and offered no incentives to buy. When I told them I was taking my business elsewhere and the how off their numbers were, the sales manager told me that my deal elsewhere made no sense and would never pencil. I guess someone was wrong because my new truck is awesome. If you decide to go here be ready for a lot of games and know your numbers cause they'll try to take advantage of you.

I went to the dealership looking for something that got better gas mileage than my Dodge Ram. Being a truck owner my whole life, I was a little skeptical that I would be happy in a car. Khan was very helpful. We test drove the Rav 4, the 4-runner and the Camry. After going over every option available I bought the Camry and I have to say that I LOVE this car. Eventually this will be the car I give to my oldest son and Khan helped weigh out the pros and the cons of what vehicle would be best for my current and future needs. He worked with me getting the financing accomplished and made sure we had everything we needed before we left. He called the next day to make sure I was happy with my decision. I have never driven a Toyota before, nor have I ever been to Toyota of El Cajon, but I plan on coming back when I give this car to my son in 4 years and I'm ready to buy my next car.

They even served a wide selection of snacks, beverages, and offered me lunch. The owners and managers were out mingling with customers and acting as if it were a family BBQ. After having this type of experience, I will never use a hole-in-the-wall dealership just because they have a better price. Toyota of El Cajon will stand behind their cars, while the others won't.

Leased a new Prius from Toyota of El Cajon. The dealership is absolutely beautiful, the staff was friendly and the Hiwa (my salesman) was informative and a really nice guy. Overall, a really positive experience. I will say that they were quite busy and we did wait around for some 4 hours, so if you're interested in working with them, make sure to make an appointment.

After spending an entire Saturday driving around to different dealerships in Mission Valley and Kearny Mesa, we were exhausted on Sunday but still in need of a good used car. We were looking at Kia Souls and Scion XBs. Found a gently used 2010 XB on the Toyota lot via AutoTrader.com. Was approached by Paul to show us the vehicle and take it for a test drive. He was an easy going and professional guy which made the whole experience much more pleasant. (The stress of buying a car on my weekend off isn't the first thing I like to sign up for!) His floor manager was respectful and fair in dealing with our negotiations. Colette wrapped it up as quick as possible when it came to the paperwork. I left feeling like I would certainly like to deal with Paul again for the next vehicle. No pressure and a good guy.

A great experience. I drove a long way to his dealership to find the exact Toyota model, trim, & color I wanted. Aleks was very helpful in arranging to hold the car for me and to accomodate my arrival time. Dennis was very personable and reasonable in coming to purchaswe price agreement quickly. The dealership was very busy (a Saturday) with MANY customers present. Aleks, Dennis, & Anna all worked very quickly under difficult conditions and made the overall experience a pleasure. I don't regret driving 100+ miles to buy a car from Toyota of El Cajon.

My sales person was Aleks. Aleks was very friendly and made sure that we understood all of the car's options. When I came in the second time, Aleks made sure that I got the car I wanted, even though there were very few at the sale price. I signed the sales contract with Shaun, who was also very friendly. Shaun was very quick with the paperwork process, but at the same time made sure we understood everything.

We had a good experience buying a new car from Toyota of El Cajon. We had corresponded by email with Ross Miran and gotten a quote from him. We went to the dealership without calling ahead, and so Ross turned out not to be there when we arrived, which was late at night, but Paul Petrocco took good care of us. We went for a test drive and then talked with Paul and Marwan about the price; both of them were enjoyable to talk to and to work with. At the end, Shaun Atkinson helped us with the paperwork; he was efficient and helpful.

They also carefully explained what hadhappened and that in itself is really great especially for me, a woman.I live at Mission Bay in San Diego which is more than 18 miles from El Cajon.My Toyota was purchased new from this dealership in 2004 and I have been coming back for service ever since, because of their excellent service.Simo in the Serice Department has helped me to understand what needs to be done with all my service needs. I could go to a closer dealership but I choose to go to the one dealership that I trust to be honest and fair and that is Toyta of El Cajon.

First of all, I think everyone dreads the pressure of visiting the car dealership. To the contrary upon my arrival I was greeted by a gentleman named Marwan. His sincerity and non aggressive approach put me at ease immediately so that I could concentrate on why I was there; to buy a new car. His knowledge, expertise and personable demeanor made my decision very easy and quick. I have never been so happy! Next, I was assisted by Aleks with the paperwork which we breezed through. I was later escorted to an office where the kind hearted Colette really eased the final blow "The payment." She really was truly an amazing human being! I have never been so happy with my customer service. This is the fifth Toyota my family and I have purchased and hands down the best customer service. I will definitely recommend all family and friends to your dealership. I have managed restaurants for over ten years and know the value of costumer service especially in this economy. Congratulations to a great team!Sincerely,Fred

Toyota El cajonMy wife and I had been planning to buy a new car. We were not sure what car that would be. We only knew we wanted a car that was from a trustful manufacturer and, definitely, Toyota was among the two or three we wanted. Once we were there, Ernesto was so friendly and helpful that we felt confident about what he was saying to us. He sounded so honest that he made us feel confident about the car we were about to buy. He showed several options to us so we could be sure that the choice we were making was the right one. We were looking for a family car and we got this 2009 white Toyota Corolla LE that that would run so easy and smooth that made me feel comfortable while driving. I also liked that the view does not get blocked when changing lanes for I feel sure and confident when I drive it. Ernesto also showed us the big list of interesting characteristics the car features, all with the purpose to make us feel comfortable. Ernesto even called me three times in the following days to make sure everything was right with our new acquisition. I had already driven to LA and I had not been able to use the Cruise Control for I told Ernesto when HE CALLED ME. He invited me to visit him at Toyota El Cajon and he came outside to show me how to use it. It was really easy. Actually, a few days later, I received a call from Ana, who told us they had found a better interest rate for us and we ended having a better deal than the original. I am very pleased with my new car. Ernesto, Thanks a lot.

The people that worked there were friendly and helpful from start to finish. I have been to other dealers in the past and had to really find someone that was interested in helping me. At Toyota of El Cajon there were car dealers outside waiting to help even before my family was completely out of the car. We had an appointment with Aleks and he was ready to help us as soon as we got there. Colette was our finace person and went over everything and answered all of our questions. She gave us great information that we were not aware of. I felt very comfortable trading in my old car for a new one.

He was attentive, patient, and I never felt hurried to make a decision. I would definitely recommend this dealer and Paul, in particular. Another dealer did offer me a few hundred more in trade for my Lexus, but I chose to go with Toyota of EC because of Paul and how well we were treated at Toyota of EC.

This whole dealership has gone green including their new building which is laid out beautifully for the customer. It should stand as a model for others. The employees also reflect an attitude that the customer is king. And none did this better than Luis Marquez with whom my wife and I delt both by internet and in person. He was relaxed, helpful, efficient and gave us an experience totally unexpected. I cannot say enough about this person or this dealership.

I have already bought two cars here. I have also brought two more friends to buy two more cars. For all these cars Alex was the salesman. He is friendly and will help you as much he can to find the car you want. Just know how much you can pay per month. Manager Habib will help you get that price. He will play with interest rate or reduce the price and you will get the deal you want. And ask for Shaun to deal with your finance. He will never try to hook you up with unnecessary stuffs you don't need.

I have purchased MANY vehicles and have dealt with many dealerships, By far Toyota of El Cajon has been the best of them all (I put them up there with mercedes benz). The salesmen are friendly and NEVER pressure you into a purchase. With this purchase my salesmans name was Simeon, I was able to browse any and all vehicles I wantedand the salesman never made me feel as if I was wasting his time. The lobby is clean and inviting, refreshments are avaliable and they have the most amazing play area for kids .. its an actual pirate ship that the kids can climb all over. The finance department was just as nice to deal with, and I loved thier "open door" I could actually see them. Not like some dealers who hide behind a door whre the salesman discuss the deal in secret. I was openly involved in the finance process. The manager was happy to give me a quote on any vehicle I wished without hesitation or the look of annoyance. After my finance was complete I was met by Colette to finalize and sign all necessary documents. She laid everything out and explained in detail, I knew and understood exactly was I was signing. She was very professional and at the same time personable.I will forever recomend TOYOTA OF EL CAJON to all my family, friends, co-workers and anyone elese who will listen Thank You Simeon, Colette and the Finance Team Mrs and Mr Bercu

We had a great expierence at Toyota of El Cajon. They were extremely fair on the price of the vehicle and were very courteous of our time. All of the employees were so nice and it was honestly a pleasant car buying expierence. We were there at the end of the evening and they still took the time to review the paperwork in depth, show us where the service department was and go over all of the features of the vehicle. Our salesman, Frank the G man, was great to work with! Even though it was after hours he still took the time to demonstrate all of the features of the car and make sure we knew how everything worked. We never once felt like they were trying to rush us out of there. Colette, in financing, was wonderful. She was very friendly and made the paperwork process run very smoothly. I look forward to working with the service department to maintain our Sienna for many years to come! I would highly reccommend buying a car from Toyota of El Cajon.

Luis is a very friendly knowledgeable sales agent. He answered all our questions, was very patience and easy to work with. Shawn, I wish I could remember his last name, he made closing the sales fun and easy. We were in his office laughing and celebrating. Dennis (I think he was the main boss) introduced himself to us, treated us to some snacks, and thanked us for our business (something many managers don't take the time to do). The overall experience was very pleasent with a very friendly and fun atmosphere. We hope in the future to continue doing business with Toyota of El Cajon.

Simeon was by far the most helpful salesman in finding the right vehicle. He absolutely bent over backwards to make sure we were "Happy" with the truck we bought. He did not stop until I was happy. Other dealers gave me their best, but Simeon still out produced them in results above and beyond my expectations. Even after the sale was completed I continued to be impressed with Simeon's 'service'. He took to heart what our wants and needs were. He spent extra time with us at all different hours. I was extremely picky and he didn't bat an eye, he stuck with us through it all to the end. Thank you for everything Simeon!

Toyota of El Cajon is the Toyota Feeling and it is a green dealership. The entire experience will exceed your expectations. Our family purchased a 2010 Camry from Fleet Sales Associate, Hiwa Khoshnaw (A gentleman who offers outstanding service). We purchased a Matrix in 2003 by recommendation through Auto Club of Southern California, another positive experience. The Service Department is the best and I have followed my service advisor, Lance Jones, since 1990 (A life saver and I am still happily married). He made the recall experience so easy and we have never experienced a problem with the accelerator, fuel system or engine. El Cajon is impressive and relaxing. Great teamwork, very helpful, and family friendly!

I never expect a great deal when I go to a car dealership. Never! However special they make you feel, it's all part of the sales pitch. From high end dealers, to lowly used car lots, it's all the same racket. Of course I had to deal with it here. Anywhere you go, you'll have to deal with shady people, which I did. BUT, of all the people there, my salesman named Omed was the only one I really trusted. A genuinely good person who was very helpful and honest. I wish everyone I dealt with there was like Omed! Also, after my initial deal fell through with the bank, a financial manager named Collette was the one setting up the second... She did everything to get me a better deal that the previous manager never did. She seemed to want to help me get a better deal, when the others insisted a better deal wasn't possible. So, if you go here, insist on dealing ONLY with Omed in sales, and Collette with financing... You'll walk out a happy customer. Cheers!

We had a very good experience in purchasing our car at Toyota of El Cajon. Robert Hans responded quickly to my request for a quote over the internet, and didn't mess around, just gave me a deal I could bring in on paper and I did, to see if we had the right color and talk about my trade in. Unfortunately the Edmunds.com site doesn't show the dealers all the specs that have been picked, so Robert didn't have my color choice, and I was firm on it, so went right into his office to start locating it. Two days later I'm enjoying my new, beautiful Sandy Beach Prius III. Tosh was another congenial, helpful person to deal with, and got the financial paperwork, and the rest of the package worked up as swiftly as she could. Every staff member we met ( and we were introduced to the service staff) were polite and congenial.I think the environment created by your Green Building and your staff just blows the old idea of a dealership out the window- and I've worked in a few, in the 'old' days!Thanks again for making me go from dreading to enjoying the car purchase experience.

I am extremely pleased with my experience at Toyota of El Cajon. I chose this dealership based on my friend's recommendation. I was not the easiest customer to work with because I really was not sure exactly what I wanted. Frank G. really helped me clarify for myself what the right car for me would be; he really understood the different dilemmas I was grappling with in respect to my wants/needs. He was extremely patient and congenial with me, as were Aleks and Dennis. The best part was that Dennis really worked with my husband and myself to come up with the deal that would work for our budget, yet allow us to each get a car that made each of us extremely happy! We both were essentially able to get our "dream cars"! (OK, our realistic dream car: neither of us got a Maybach, lol). In short, 1) I really liked the personalities of all 3 members of the team that we worked with, 2) the fact that we both got great cars that we love and 3) the financial deal was pretty much on target with what we had planned to spend. I definitely feel that we got maximum car for minimum dollar, and that the values were more than fair. Thanks again to Frank, Aleks and especially Dennis for making our car dreams come true! On a side note, we brought our 1 year old with us to the dealership and she stayed pretty busy playing in the on-site pirate ship and eating all the treats they had out. She was able to entertain herself while we shopped so that was a huge plus.

Sept 19, 2010, myself and my wife just driving aroung El Cajon just to look around., we dont have the intention of driving to an auto dealer, and all we know here we are parking in the visitor/customer parking lot. we were greeted by a nice gentelman and introduce his name "OMED" and asked what he can do for us, eventually we told him that we are here just to look around, killing time. Needless to say, he did walk us inside and offered something to drink "at that time weather is hot" very nice to say, we talk a little bit and explain some in and outs, trade ins, financing, and many more options. As i have told, we dont have the intention of having a new car because we have a 3yr old toyota camry. To get the story short, with his sales speech and magic he did convince us. We drove home with a brand new toyota camry 2011. Omed you are such a good salesman, very narrow, very straightforward, and above all you are a great person, you knew all about cars. Next time a buy another car, l will not hesitate to comeback and see OMED. Good job Omed.

As our lease agreement was coming to an end, he was helpful to show me the variety of features offered on the new 2011 Camry's. He helped the financing and application portion go smoothly, and stressless.Also, I'd like to make mention of the play yard at the new facility Toyota of El Cajon has moved into. We had our grandson with us, while shopping for our new car, and the Ship in the showroom helped occupy him fantastically. Thank you Toyota of El Cajon, and Aleks!

The salesperson, Ernesto was wonderful. He did not pressure me at all. Extremely helpful and honest. He let me pick what car I wanted, even though it was not a Toyota and made things happen. The finance person, Shawn, was very helpful and answered all my questions.....Thanks for everything.

I recently went through the process of buying a new auto from Toyota of El Cahon. I started the process by deciding the basics using the online "make your own vehicle" program. The choices I made with any variable were then sent to the dealership. I was contacted by a salesman within 10 minutes. I worked with Khar at TC to finalize the deal and when we finally met at the dealership I understood why they are committed to customer service. Khar definitely made this experience one of the most enjoyable and smooth car-buying experiences I have ever had. Truly a professional and had my interests as his number one priority. He not only got me a great looking Rav4 but it had everything I requested for variables. I was in and out within a very comfortable time and the dealership spaces were very comfortalble while I was there. I would recommend Khar for anyone who would like an easy-going personable salesman to have to go through this experience with. I will continue to recommend TC to anyone interested in buying Toyota. Thanks for being so super.

I walked into the dealership to see my options regarding trading-in my chevy lemon; just like I had done many times before at other dealership. (I'd driven 126 miles to San Diego to take my father to a doctor's appointment not to buy a car.) I didn't leave home that morning thinking I'd come back with a new car; that was not the plan. I really didn't think I could even afford it, I'd never had a new car. I fact I'd visited our local dealerships many times and had always walked out empty handed.Somehow, your guy, Nestor, did magic and I came home with a RAV4; my wife and kids love it.Thank you, Nestor; I promise you that my 2nd new car I'll be buying it from you.

2010 Scion tC21 y/o, military, first time buyer9/18/2010After a long day at Hyundai trying to work out a price for the 2010 genesis coupe v6 with no luck, i went to Toyota of El Cajon to see what they had. All i wanted from Hyundai was the $500 military rebate, but they said i didnt qualify because i was a reservist. Anyways, Aleks greeted me and showed me around the lot. we looked at corollas, camrys, venza, tundras and didnt find much. Before i left, i saw the sticker price on the tC and i was surprised. Scion/toyota had $1000 off MSRP...maybe to get rid of their 2010 models and make room for their 11's. Plus, they gave me $1000 military rebate on top of that. I got $2,000 off the price on the spot. No games, no hassle, no bs. They got all the numbers done, showed me the price, and sent me to the finance office. i read so many bad things and to beware of the finance specialist. Linda wasn't pushy and basically didnt try and screw me over. The whole process was simple and stress-free. i would do business with Toyota of El Cajon again, no doubt. A company that honors military troops will get my business anytime.

This particular dealership is AWESOME!!! This is my 2nd Prius that I've purchased from them and both times, the experience was excellent. Throughout my ownership of my first Prius, they were the only ones I'd allow to do the maintenance service because the were so professional, fast, turned out quality work and treated me like I was a VIP to them. Jose in service is the best! Khar Van helped me with this second purchase and, as always, I walked out of the dealership shaking my head at how wonderful these people are. Their greem building is awesome too. FYI - I love this dealership so much that I drive from San Marcos (nearly 50 miles) to do business with them!

Our entire experience at Toyota of El Cajon was fantastic!! My wife and I were interested in purchasing a used Sienna initially, but we were also considering leasing a new one. Our sales associate, Rene Wolfe (also assisted by Paul), was incredibly patient with us and explained all our options carefully. We test drove both a used and new Sienna and discussed the various pricing options for each. We ended up leasing a new vehicle that was well within our budget and certainly left more than satisfied with our purchase. In our opinion, Rene went above and beyond what we had expected and certainly "wowed" us with customer service. In addition, our interaction with Sergio G. in finance was just as pleasant. In our experience, that's definitely not the norm at car dealerships. You've certainly earned a customer for life! Aside from the quality service, we also enjoyed the facility as well. My kids loved the pirate ship playground and it kept them well entertained while we discussed options and signed paperwork. The coffee and snacks helped with the long hours as well. Lastly, the price we paid for our Sienna was definitely a value in comparison to the overall quality of the vehicle. We've had it now for about two weeks and love it more each day. Overall, I'm happy to recommend Toyota of El Cajon to anyone who asks. It's clear that customer service is a priority and our experience, start to finish, was superb!

This was my second car purchase from this dealership. During the 3 years I had my first car from them, I only used them for service because of how outstanding they are, consistently. With this second purchase, again, I received outstanding service. I did not feel they were playing games with me. Khar was very honest and up front about everything, my comfort was catered to during the whole "event", and Khar was very insistant that I feel completely at ease with the car, the financing and the purchasing experience. The people at Toyota of El Cajon are fantastic, the quality of work is always outstanding, and I love how "green" the building is! It's always a very pleasant experience being there and they always make me feel like I am getting red carpet treatment. I drive all the way from San Marcos just to deal with this particular dealership!

Toyata El Cajon surpassed our expectations. They offered us an amazing deal and work with our personal budget and needs. Nelson, our salesman, took a personal interest in our situation and was patient with our time frame. We visited the dealership three times before we were ready to make a deal and each time Nelson treated us as if we were going to spend a million dollars. His customer service skills are more than I speak of. Tasha worked with us on the financial aspect and she was very detailed and friendly. She made us feel comfortable and answered every question we had. Thank you Toyota El Cajon!

The sales representatives were very friendly and helped me choose the right car. I am first time car buyer - but the dealers ensured that I understood how I can save on financing and get good safety features for the car. I was talking to Dennis Bala (Sales Manager) and Aleks Bukov - I must say that they are doing a great job!

We had an excellent salesman (Khar) who worked with us. He was informative, honest, and pleasant. He even made our children feel very welcome. He is quite unlike most salesmen we have been confronted with, especially in how attentive he was with our needs. He greeted us by name when we entered the dealership because we had spoken to him previously on the phone. He had the car we wanted ready for us to look at when we arrived. He remembered everything we talked about in our conversation and made us feel respected and cared about. I can honestly recommend the dealership because of Khar! Also, we worked with Tosh for the financing and she was very pleasant. She informed us of all the benefits that Toyota has to offer and told us about the new graduate discount plan at Toyota. That was wonderful!! We also met with the manager before leaving Toyota and he was a very pleasant man! The whole experience was easy and rewarding! We didn't even have to spend hours at the dealership.

I just bought a Prius and I am totally satisfied with the car so far(1 day only...), as well as with the great job of the salesperson,Bryan Williams.He managed to answer all our questions in a direct, efficient, preciseand honest way. He doesn't start by firing a "smoke screen" like otherdealers often do before introducing his cars and offers. His special"Green Flash Concert" offer made the difference, as far as we areconcerned (we visited many other car dealers, even an other Toyotadealer).Bryan has a way with people, we develops a straight forward andtrustful relationship. He gets to the point and at the same time takestime to listen and to explain with patience and skill.He is an excellent car dealer !LM

Yesterday I leased a new Prius II, 2010 at Toyota of El Cajon.I got an amazing lease agreement on the exact car that I wanted.I was quite impressed with my salesman Khar Vun.Khar (pronounced "car") went literally out of his way to drive me to and from the dealership - my old car was in the shop - and Khar was all about customer first. I felt comfortable that Khar would get me the very best deal and make certain I was treated with respect by all else (financing, etc.) during my meetings at the dealership. Khar gets all "A's" for his customer service, test drive, friendliness, honesty, integrity, and "go to it" attitude.I am so excited about my gorgeous new Prius!I have a feeling I will become addicted to the amazing MPG on this tec-advanced vehicle. During the test drives (2) I was getting, most of the drive, 75-100 MPG!The digital dash shows exactly how much fuel the driver is using and and how much battery. It really is astonishing. It empowers the driver in a way that revolutionizes driving.Thanks so much to Khar for making this lease a positive experience.I recommend him as the guy to call when interested in any Toyota lease or purchase.In fact, here is the dealership phone number (ask for Khar): (619)270-3000The manager named Lou connected me to my salesman and I am quite impressed with Lou and his mangement style and ability to interface with the clients. Good job Lou. You won me as a client with your readiness to accomodate my needs and connecting me with a salesman that was committed to keeping me satisfied with this transaction.By the way, I had gone the day before to a different Toyota dealership nearer to my home in San Diego...I felt belittled and manipulated by the manager/finance rep. there...and I had gone in with the idea to sign on the dotted line.I ended that connection as quickly as possible.Fortunately, the next morning I got a phone call from Lou at Toyota of El Cajon (the good place) the next morning and he was ready to do anything it took to help me...My experience with Khar and Lou at Toyota of El Cajon was far and away a superior experience. I am confident I was given what I wanted, needed, and was promised from the Toyota of El Cajon Dealership.

This was our first experience buying a car at a dealership. We had many questions and were unsure of what car to buy. We were glad to have a sales person, like Khar. Khar was very patient and friendly. He answered all our questions. We did not feel pressured to buy a car like we feared. He was very helpful and directed us to the cars we might consider. We felt confident that we were purchasing the right car for us and happy to purchase it that day. We left with an enjoyable experience. In the future when considering buying another car, we would go back to Toyota of El Cajon. We highly recommend Khar. We will recommend this dealership to all family and friends. Leaving with the car we felt was right for our family was very important to us. This was an enjoyable experience, dealing with professional sales people.

The experience I had at Toyota of El Cajon was nothing less than amazing! It was absolutely, hands-down, better than I thought the car-buying experience would be. It was all thanks to the best sales consultant ever, Paul Petrocco. Paul is extremely professional and personable and I couldn't be happier with what I drove home in. I'm actually totally stoked with what I got! And its all thanks to Paul, who matched me with the perfect car. Really, the entire staff at Toyota of El Cajon was great, including Natasha who helped us with financing, and Dennis who made me right at home with the snacks! I loved it! I have to admit, I did get hungry and those little treats definitely helped me get through. Everyone was great, but Paul was totally awesome! I am one happy camper and a Toyota of El Cajon customer for life. So thank you everybody, and special thanks to Paul.

Thanks for asking about my experience at Toyota of El Cajon. I am very impressed with Toyota of El Cajon and feel quite fortunate to have purchased my vehicle from your sales associate, Bryan Williams. And after shopping other dealerships and listening to other salesmen, I feel like I saw many areas where both Toyota of El Cajon and Bryan Williams are distinctive in this business. I spent Saturday afternoon at Mossy Toyota in Pacific Beach. It was my first stop and, for that reason, I had a lot of questions regarding the details of leasing or purchasing a car. While my salesman did his best, I left with more questions than I had when I entered the showroom. When I called back for clarification, I could not reach my initial salesman and ended up talking to a man completely disinterested in what he must had considered a remedial conversation on the topic. He didn't want to talk to me on the phone and continued to say that I needed to come to the showroom to have my questions fully answered. I hung up and knew that I would not go back to that dealership. On Sunday morning, I sat at my computer attempting to do my own research on the topic of leasing a car. I visited the webpage of several San Diego dealerships. In each case, I left my phone number and e-mail address and asked that someone contact me regarding the specific car that I was interested in purchasing or leasing. I believe that Bryan called me within minutes. What I found unique about Bryan was his willingness to talk to me on the phone. I imagine that it is customary to specifically focus on getting a phone contact into the showroom. Bryan's focus was on answering my questions. We spent quite a bit of time talking about lease options and when I hung up from the conversation, I felt that I clearly understood the process. I felt no pressure whatsoever to come into the showroom, just a comfortable invitation from Bryan to visit Toyota of El Cajon if I continued to be interested in the options available to me. As a single woman, I was wary about shopping for a car without a male because actual studies have proven that a male is most often offered a better price on a car than a female is offered. Bryan made me comfortable enough that I e-mailed him and asked if I could come to the showroom on Monday afternoon. During our time together, Bryan and I revisited the details that we talked about on the phone. I was provided documentation on the specific Corolla that I was interested in owning along with the financial options available to me. Bryan also talked to me about the Prius and encouraged me to test drive both vehicles. After my test drives, I was equally impressed with the two vehicles and needed more information and time to think about my choice. I never felt hurried or pressured to come to a decision. Other car salesmen that I talked to seemed only interested in getting my signature on their documents. Bryan gave me the space to make a good decision for me. I enjoyed the tour of your beautiful, new facility. Every department appears well designed for the comfort of your customers. I do not have small children, but I imagine that those who do are thrilled with the play equipment and child-friendly atmosphere. The waiting area for those having service on their cars is spectacular. I did not see anything quite like that in the other dealerships. I love it that you offer a green facility where possible. I'm impressed. I am appreciative of Bryan's patience and professionalism. His efforts on behalf of Toyota of El Cajon not only sold a car, but also sold me on the service department. I live on Point Loma and will happily make the drive to El Cajon for any service necessary on my car. I will recommend Toyota of El Cajon and, specifically, Bryan Williams to anyone shopping for a new car. Sincerely,Jan Johnson

The fleet manager Rene Wolfe is super helpful and straight with us. He had the best offer up front compared with 4 other dealers' offers. The transition is smooth. He even throw in a carpet floors mat for free. In the end, they did not have the car we were looking for, so that they do a dealer trade and get the car we wanted. The car we got had more package then we originally quoted. But he sticked with original price with us. I would come back and look for him if I am buying my next new car.

My family and I have been buying our cars from Toyota of El Cajon for several years, and they've always been good cars. I don't know much about cars, so I don't have any independent way to verify that a used car is as good as the salesman tells me it is. All the cars our family has bought from Toyota of El Cajon have been in great shape, so it makes used-car shopping much less nerve-racking. This review focuses on my first car purchase about two months ago. Ernesto was very friendly and really went out of his way to make sure I found the right car. The first thing I told him was that I would be interested in the cheapest car on the lot. When even those were revealed to be out of my budget, he was able to procure a Corolla from another Toyota dealership that was precisely what I was looking for. It was a very positive experience, and I recommend both the dealership and the salesman.

The Toyota of El Cajon dealership is large, open, and very comfortable. They even have play spaces for the kids. Toyotoa of El Cajon really understands that the car buying experience should be enjoyable and a bit of magic for the customer.

I purchased a brand new Corolla S from this dealership and from the moment I walked onto the lot until the time I left, I received EXCELLENT customer service from Vincent. I wanted a brand new car with a moonroof so much but was very attached to my Solara and was unsure if I was going to trade it in towards a new vehicle. Vincent gave me excellent advice and went out of his way to allow me to learn about my potential purchase. I have to say with all honesty, Toyota of El Cajon knows what they are doing by allowing Vincent to take care of their clients. I felt no pressure towards buying the car and he was very forward and honest that I made my decision to purchase and drove away with a gorgeous red Corolla with a moonroof :) Thank you Toyota of El Cajon and especially thank you to Vincent. I plan to trade in my husband's car in a few months for a new car and I hope that Vincent can help me again! If you want top notch customer service and a beautiful new car, I highly recommend Toyota of El Cajon!

I am back...and For Good Reason...Last month I purchased a 2010 Toyota Corolla from Toyota of El Cajon. We are very happy with the vehicle, the people and the service which brings me to why I am back. Right after we got my wife a new vehicle my PT Cruiser was hit in front of my house by a DUI Driver while I slept at 3 in the morning. Needless to say I was now out a vehicle and did not look forward to looking for a new car or dealing with a dealership to get a replacement car. I tried to reach Fernando at Toyota of El Cajon but he was on vacation so I left a message for Natasha, she was not in till 2:00. I took this waiting time to test drive a couple of cars from the competitors...not a fun experience. I wasn't finding what I wanted at the price I was looking for. I immediately knew where I should be and it was now 2:00. I called Toyota of El Cajon and explained my situation to Natasha Lind, excuse me, Natasha Rowles the Finance Manager and much, much more. She forwarded me to Frank Marquez, as Fernando Aguiniga was on vacation. Frank called me and asked what I was looking for, I told him the 3 models I was interested in and he said, "I will have them ready for you when you arrive." To make things short I Leased a 2010 Prius at the price I was asking for and everyone involved reminded me why I called This Toyota dealership first.The ability to listen to My needs and patiently assist me through the car buying experience speaks volume. Frank...Keep on smiling, Natasha...well, just keep doin what you are doin, it works, and I can not forget Jose in service...he defines the word service.Thomas G.UPDATE: Do not let me forget Michelle Candelaria, she is a big part of why I am back.

I visited and spoke to several Toyota Dealerships before contacting El Cajon Toyota. I was interested in a specificcolor and type of vehicle and made this clear to my telephone contact at this dealership. He told me that he either had the vehicle that I wanted or was about to get the exact vehicle that I wanted. When I arrived he showed me a similar vehicle to what I wanted and asked if I wanted to drive it. I reiterated that I had already test drove the vehicle elsewhere and only needed to get a specific color and leather package. He asked me to sign a loan application to check my credit rating even before he could deliver the car I wanted.Needless to say we had a total lack of communication and I left immediately....I havenever been asked to sign a loan application before agreeing on a purchase. Perhaps this was a gross misunderstanding but I thought I was very clear in presenting myshopping goals.

Everyone was great, especially Aleks Butov. Very low key. No last minute increases or sudden surprises that I have experienced at other dealerships. I had just about given up on buying new and was looking at private party used cars. Thanks for a low stress experience. New Prius owner.

The place is great and very clean. The employees are great with their customer service. I feel "at home" when I'm there. They treat you like family.We bought all our three vehicles at Toyota of El Cajon. We've been coming back for all our maintenance services there and have been very happy with them.Simo Vukovich is a GREAT Assistant Service Manager to work with! He should be promoted to Service Manager.Thanks for the opportunity to give this feedback.Lydia C. HendrixJuly 14, 2010Wednesday

I had a great experience with Rene and all the staff at Toyota of El Cajon. The process of buying a car can be difficult, but I felt like it was a breeze with Rene. He's even followed up with me, although I've been out of town and hard to get a hold of! I'm finally back to driving my new Prius, and I love it. Thank you to Rene and the others at Toyota of El Cajon for making my car buying experience an enjoyable one!

I can't say enough positive things about the first class employees at this dealership. This is my 3rd Toyota from this dealership and I wouldn't shop anywhere else. I used to live in San Diego, but moved to Los Angeles a few years ago. I just drove all the way back down from Los Angeles on July 3rd to pick up my new 4Runner and they made it worth the trip down. They truly make car buying a painless experience. Also, if you haven't seen the brand new "Environmentally Conscious" dealership that they built right off the freeway you are missing out; you must go see it for yourself. Toyota of El Cajon is in a class of their own!

Ernesto was very imformative and professional. He answered all of our questions and took us through the purchasing process step by step which made it a pleasureable experience. All of the other employees who helped us with the financing process also were very professional and curteous. I would recommend this dealership to anyone.

Great Dealership!! Outstanding Customer Service!!! Would definitely recommend them to anyone!! We drove all the way from Orange County because of the great people and service there!!! From the sales to the financing department, my wife and I felt like we were treated like family!!! They also had a great kid facility that I kept my 3 year old and 1 year old busy, since buying a car can take some time.

I purchased new my 2005 Toyota Camry from the El Cajon Dealership and haven't had a bit of service done anywhere else. I have also had Jose as a service advisor from the very beginning and he is so dependable and nice I recommend hime to anyone. I also have 109,000 miles on my vehicle and it feels like a new car. I would not hesitate to buy a new car from Toyota Of El Cajon in the future and not hesitate to have Jose Villegas handle service on it.

After having many challenging experiences in my life and a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH HONDA OF EL CAJON, I turned to Toyota of El Cajon for assistance. Their ability to listen to my needs and positively assist me through the car buying experience-- going above and beyond what is expected of them-- speaks mountains. I truly appreciate each one of them and will HIGHLY recommend people to go to them for their car buying needs.

If you haven't been there you are missing out. they have free donuts and coffee although I'd rather have fruit! they have an awesome pirate ship to play on and a nice waiting area with 2 large-screen TVs, or if you'd rather go home and wait, they give you free shuttle service.Jose is friendly & professional and helpful. If you don't have a regular service guy see if you can get assigned to him. He is the bomb!My only complaint is that they charge dealer prices. My always-on running lights were not on. They had to charge me a diagnostic fee of $95 to tell me that it was a burned out lightbulb which left the circuit opened and that's why both lights were out. So basically I paid nearly $100. to change a light bulb.

I had just bought my car 5 days prior and a warning light had come on, I went to EC toyota and Jose gave me a rental car and had my car done that day. He handled it so fast and was such a nice guy. I will be doing my service there. I had bought my car at Mossy Toyota, but the fast and helpful service I got at EC Toyota made me change my mind.

Inspite of the fact My experience at the Toyota of El Cajon dealership was very nice. Every person that was involved in the transaction was a very helpful, very friendly. My son was able to stay busy with the items in the lobby from a huge pirate ship for him to play on to the kids theater TV area. The reason for the 4 out of five on price is we got a REWIND car, Sold and than returned with 1600 miles on it. I was not aware of this until signing the contract when Natasha Lind the Finance Manager asked if we were aware that the car was being sold as USED. My wife loves the car, but if we knew this fact I would have negotiated a few dollars off, throw in a better additional coverage package or requested what I get what I thought I was purchasing, A new car. seeing as I was paying the full new car price. It was late and we had been there a while and my son was ready to go so we took it as is. I can only hope this was an oversight and not done knowingly.UPDATE: June 23I am very happy to say Michelle Candelaria from Toyota of EC called and inquired about the review and I was offered a Toyota gift card for the inconvenience. The gesture was appreciated and accepted. Thank You Everyone.UPDATE: JULY 23Michelle your service is part of the reason I went back to Toyota of EC this week to purchase a second vehicle...See my review posted July 23

They are super amazing and Jose Villegas is one of the friendliest people I have ever met working at this dealership. Everyone is so helpful & I never have to wait long. If I do ever need to go anywhere, they offer a shuttle van to take me where I need to go and also arrange to pick me up if needed. I used to take my car to the dealership in Pacific Beach, but now I will only take my car here now.

I'm honestly impressed on the quality of customer service and the excelent options they have for you to purchase, even in the used car lot. I just had my old car traded in there and got a mazda 2008 minivan for my family and all I can say is that I could'nt had a better salesperson handle my deal, Fernando is a great guy and he sure knows how to do his job, my respects for his excelent service and knowledge. I actually went there to specifically look for him, one of my freinds had recommended me to go there and it was totally true, but i have to say i was unsure wheter they could "handle" my trade-in, they actually paid it off and put me in the car that my family needed, plus my payments are so affordable and my credit score is definetly going to improve. Thank you Fernando, you will be blessed for being so kind, and the rest of the toyota staff, you guys keep the good work, it's impressive.

My experience at the Toyota of El Cajon dealership was flawless. Every person that was involved in the transaction was a huge help, very friendly and I couldn't ask for a better result. From my first test drive with Moises and his excellent help, to working with Aleks and Tor, and Steve in finance on the final paperwork and delivery of the truck I can honestly say that I was impressed not only with the facility but with the employees that are behind the business. I would refer anyone to your dealership and am sure this will not be my last vehicle I assume from Toyota of El Cajon.Thank You!Cory Bender

Jose Villegas in service is absolutely GREAT!!!! Toyota of EC is the only place i will take my tacoma to for any type of service needed because the service is good and Jose always makes our visit wonderful....he is friendly and will always listen to whatever my concerns are. My truck is always finished on time as promised. I have taken my truck in for a few minor issues and normal servicing (oil change..etc.) My truck has always been returned with the issues fixed and the visit ends with me being extremely happy. The facility is clean and the atmosphere is always a friendly one. Whenever I need anything done to my truck Jose is the ONLY person I know i can truly trust with whatever concerns I have.

I HATE being sold to, so I called to ask questions fisrt. Simeon asked me questions about what was my desired and current situation. He told me all documents to bring, therefore making the most of my time, when I arrived. He gave me all of my options, worst to best case scenario. His team got my former vehicle paid for and got me financed. I am now in a new car, that I can afford. The invitation to a VIP customer event to learn even more about my car was amazing. The follow up on my complete experience was more than I could imagine. Toyota of El Cajon didn't just take my money and put me in anything. They showed and continue to show concern for me and my family with supporting our decision to become a part of the Toyota family. Due to this deal, my credit score has gone up, and I will become a first time homeowner as well. Thank you Simeon and Team Toyota of El Cajon for majorly impacting my life in a positive way.

Promises, promises! They promise a free car wash with service, but no, not for me. I have a 1989 Toyota pickup with only 255000 miles and they wouldn't wash it because it has a non-retractable radio antenna. They should at least mention that the free car wash is only for certain cars, and long time Toyota owners with solid antennas will drive away with dirty cars. And this just happened. Previously my truck sparkled after service. But yesterday, there was my truck, a sore thumb in the line of shiny clean serviced vehicles. Oh the embarassment! And you should be embarrassed for misleading advertising.Don't get me wrong. I am very pleased with the pricey service and friendly and courteous staff. As long as the truck runs, I'll be back, after running the truck through a car wash that doesn't discriminate.

Jose Villegas is a great person to work with. Based on past experiences, I know I can trust his advice: he understands auto mechanics and knows what my cars need, but he won't push service on me that he thinks is not needed. That trust is a very valuable thing; it results in more revenue for Toyota in the long run because I always go to him for service and never conclude I need to go anywhere else.Thanks, Jose.
