This was a very positive experience.

However, looking at and driving the new Lexus convinced me not to spend a lot of time shopping around with other dealers and other makes of cars. I was back one week later and thanks to the careful eye of Glauco who found just the right car for me, I made the purchase. The extra amenities offered (free car washes and manicures - can you just believe that?!) were extra perks that made DCH a desirable choice. Once I drove the new model, and then the pre-owned car that I ultimately purchased (and it looks brand new!!!) - I was sold on getting another Lexus! Glauco was nothing short of fantastic. He did some extra research for me on maps and destination management, since I purchased a vehicle that did not have GPS. While I had some trepidation about that choice, we have come up with a less costly and equally efficient means of using my I-phone connected to bluetooth. We tested this out in detail before I left the dealership. I feel that I can contact Glauco or drop by anytime for assistance/information about my vehicle. Steve was quite the negotiator - polite and effective without being high-pressured. More

He took the time to answer all my questions, demonstrate the features of the car and didn't rush the process or make me feel pressured in the least. My previous car buying experiences had been quite stressful and I greatly appreciate everything Michael did to make this such a fun process. He's a true professional and an excellent resource. I can't speak more highly of him and my entire experience with DCH Lexus of Santa Barbara. More

He was outstanding from the minute he met me at the door--pleasant, positive and professional. He asked the right questions--made sure my needs were taken care of--and simplified the process of purchasing a vehicle. If you are in the market for a new or used Lexus and you live in the Santa Barbara area, I would highly recommend you contact Michael Lampkin for an appointment. He is extremely knowledgeable about Lexus vehicles ( and the competition as well ), expedient, honest, a great listener and has a great sense of humor. 5 Stars-- and 10 out of 10 Sales Person! More

We had heard so many good things about the Lexus and wanted to take a closer look. Everyone at the dealership went out of their way to make our visit enjoyable, especially our sales rep Michael Lampkin. He was very knowledgeable about the Lexus and helped guide us to the perfect vehicle. The GS has been a pleasure to drive and we look forward to many years of Lexus ownership. More
A New Standard of Excellence / A Fantastic Impulse Buy I was driving through Santa Barbara in a 20 year old Lexas SC300 on a Sunday and thought I heard some engine trouble. I pulled off and called DCH Lex I was driving through Santa Barbara in a 20 year old Lexas SC300 on a Sunday and thought I heard some engine trouble. I pulled off and called DCH Lexus Santa Barbara to see if by chance their service bay was open. It was closed but they handed me off to salesman Michael Lampkin who without a moment's hesitation started making calls to local garages to see where I might pull in for a diagnosis. Amazing contribution and support by a man who had nothing to gain from the transaction other than making sure a Lexus owner was getting great support in a moment of need. Nothing being available at that time, Michael suggested I bring the car in and he would facilitate leaving it for the service bay Monday. After we checked the car in, which has its fair share of dents and dings, Michael jokingly said, "Don't you think it's about time for an upgrade?" Mind you, he had no idea what condition my car was in when he was giving me all that phone support looking for a place for me to have my car worked on. I jokingly asked "what do you have," and an hour later I drove out with a lease deal on a new hybrid, the happiest I have ever been buying a car (and I've bought an NSX before!). I told them what I wanted as far as financial parameters went, and we worked the deal until it was exactly what I was after. Not only did I buy a new car as an impulse, I was ELATED with the outcome. I have found Michael to be professional; supportive; candid; personable; enthusiastic; and don't think he would consider making a deal without creating an absolute win/win. I wholeheartedly recommend not just the dealership, but call and make sure Michael is there before you come in! More
Magic Makers, Trading in for a 2015 Lexus IS350 F Sport I was not really in the market for a new car. I did figure it was Memorial Day weekends so I went ahead and contacted a few dealerships to see what sp I was not really in the market for a new car. I did figure it was Memorial Day weekends so I went ahead and contacted a few dealerships to see what specials were in line for the Holiday. I am in the process of having my first child with my wife so I wanted something a little more family friendly but that still would be able to pack a punch when I did not have the family with me. I opted to look into the IS 350 F Sport. I dealt directly with Mark Sherman for the entire deal. I contacted the dealer and he helped me from end to end. He worked out the numbers over the phone for what could be provided for my car (trade), my needed down payment, and overall terms. It was a simple and painless process. Everything was presented to me. Everything looked fantastic and we were so anxious that we went down the very next day after speaking with Mark over the phone. When we met with Mark he was full of energy and ready to take care of my wife and I to be able to get into our new Lexus. He made sure we were comfortable and he was courteous and charming. We were offered water right when we walked in. The amenities of the dealership were plentiful and the entire place was gorgeous. Our new IS350 F Sport was detailed to perfection. All facets of the car were completely explained and reviewed by Mark with my Wife and I. We were able to take it on a test drive before pulling the trigger on the lease. In Finance we dealt with Michael Weinzimmer. He was straight and to the point with all of the paperwork being submitted. He went over every line item in perfect detail to make sure my wife and I were comfortable with every piece of the deal. It was the quickest and easiest financing experience I have had buying a car. I could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to being part of the DCH family for years to come. Mark Sherman will be my salesman of choice. More
