Tom Ryan has been helping me for over 15 years. He is the guy I go to when I need service and repairs.

I own an 2008 scion tc and recently had a warranty issue which Randy James resolved. Randy went above and beyond to get the work done quickly and effectively.

I bought my car at Longo Toyota in 1985 and still bring that same car in for service. My rating is based on all the years of service I have received and continue to receive from Longo Toyota. Yes, I take that same car in for service. My rating is based on all the years of service I have received and continue to receive from Longo Toyota. Yes, I take it to the dealer because I can depend that it will stand behind its work -- the mechanics/technicians must meet certain requirements -- and the service advisors really know Toyotas. Personally, I have been taking my car to Randy James for almost as long as I've had my car. All I have to do is ask him what I need to have done and he will tell me; he will also let me know what I might need a few months down the road (like new tires, new brakes, a major service, etc.) which helps cut down on unexpected costs. Randy James is the person I seek out in the service drive as I trust in what he tells me my car needs -- he services my car as he would his wife's car -- with an eye towards safety and economy. If in doubt, Randy will go to the service bay to look at what the technicians tell him my car needs. My experience with other employees at Longo Toyota has been similarly gratifying. Given that my car is so old, parts are harder to come by and I have had to have after-market parts used. I had to have the radiator replaced after 20+ years and Longo Toyota put in at least 3 after-market radiators in a short period of time -- I only paid for the first one, Longo Toyota covered the failures, including labor and my rental car each time. Longo Toyota has done this for me on several different items, the latest being the starter. A company that stands behind its work! And, Randy James always gives me the best pricing available, even if I don't have any coupons. I give Longo Toyota an excellent rating for service because it has proven itself over the past 24 years to be honest, trustworthy, reliable, fast without cutting corners, treats me like an honored guest (remember, my car is a 1985 Toyota, not a new car), friendly, and has amenities such as an on-site car rental office (Enterprise), an on-site AAA satellite office, an on-site Starbucks, etc. More
My dad and I went in on August 15 at around 9 in the morning looking for a new Camry LE in Charcoal Gray. First Of all they didn't even have the color we wanted, I know that's nothing having to do with morning looking for a new Camry LE in Charcoal Gray. First Of all they didn't even have the color we wanted, I know that's nothing having to do with the service but considering its a really big dealer and a big seller, I think they should have more cars come in. We walked in the front office, since many salespeople saw us and didn't approach us to help us. There were two ladies on the front desk, one was on the phone and the other on the computer. We stood there for about 8 minutes waiting, until finally one them(the lady on the phone) said how can I help you. We told her we wanted a new Camry and needed some help. It about another 8-10 minutes for a salesperson to come out. But the problem was that he was from the certified used section of the dealer. The guy was pretty polite but then said, sorry I cant help you I only work at the used section, If he wasn't able to help why did they bring him out to start with and why did he waste about 10 minutes of our time. He directed us to another sales guy, one who which was unfriendly and rude. We walked in to his desk and we talked about our situation. My dad was going to give them our old van for the cash for clunkers deal they have going on. He wanted all the registration papers and the title in his hand in that moment. My dad wanted to first see if they had the car and everything. The guy told my dad in a rude commanding way to get the papers that second. My dad refused because he wanted to see more on the car before giving personal papers, and besides we were only there to look. We weren't playing around we did want a car, but it didn't necessarily have to be from that dealer. Like all shoppers, we were looking for the best price. The guy raised his voice on my dad which really got us both mad. What a way to sell a car right? Yell at the customer, make them feel uncomfortable, and not listen to them. I am not just being a total jerk and writing a lot of negative things about this dealer, but the service was horrible, the guy(which I regret not writing down his name)was a total jerk to us, and they wasted our time. Buying a car is a considerable investment, regardless of price. Customers want to be treated with respect and we want to be listened to. Over all, My experience as well as my dads was really bad at Longo Toyota of El Monte. Being a big dealer and all, we expected better service and respect. We ended up leaving right away and went to Toyota of Whittier, which where a guy named Manuel treated us like royalty. Whittier Toyota is the real deal. Its a much smaller dealer but the inventory is great, prices are great and the service is 5 stars out of 5. These people are really polite and nice, make you feel like home. Plus its nice they have free drinks and food for their customers. More
11:00a.m. went to Longo Toyota in El Monte to get an oil change since my $15 coupon was going to expire today. There was a long line in front of me waiting to drop off their vehicles. That did not bother change since my $15 coupon was going to expire today. There was a long line in front of me waiting to drop off their vehicles. That did not bother me or deter me from getting the oil change done. Jerry Temores was handling my paperwork while on the telephone. When he finally finished with his phone call he explined it would be an hour and half wait. That is when I told him that I wanted to pay for a car wash and I would pick-up my car at 5:30p.m. when they close. As I was waiting for my ride I spoke with Eddie Afra Internet Sales Manager. I told him I was looking at buying a Camry in two years. He helped by providing me a brochure and showing me the models on the sales floor. He then paid for my Starbuck’s coffee out of his own money. He introduced me to other service advisors Gabriel Perez and Victor Smith. All of which were very courteous to me. Upon my arrival at 5:30p.m. I was only charged for an oil change. So when I walked out to pick-up my car the car was still dirty. So I went to speak to Jerry Temores surprise surprise he was on the phone with another “customer”. I told him that my car was dirty and what is he going to do about it. He told me to wait until he finished with his phone call. That is when I started to look for Gabriel Perez or Victor Smith to get Stewart the manager down here to resolve this issue. Jerry Temores finally gets off the phone and tells me he can get the car washed in 5 minutes. When Stewart the manager comes to talk to me I told him the issue has been resolved and that Jerry Temores was in the process of washing my car. 5 minutes later Jerry Termoes returns my car and sounds off saying that I was rude to the person on the phone. I told him that if the car was washed as I ordered we wouldn’t be out here arguing about it. The fact of the matter is that this advisor was such in a hurry he didn’t understand that I wanted to pay for a hand car wash verses getting one of those conveyor machine washes. More
Bought a Toyota Tacoma from them. I t had a Toyota warranty. Overall experience buying was negative. Salespeople were pushy, evasive and rude. Lying took place. Bought the car, drove 200 miles had a m warranty. Overall experience buying was negative. Salespeople were pushy, evasive and rude. Lying took place. Bought the car, drove 200 miles had a major problem. Took it to a Toyota dealership closer to my home. They stated Longo had to fix it. Nightmare ensued trying to get Longo to take responsibility. Finally got it fixed. Cost me money, of course. Now 1500 miles later another problem. Longo? Stay far away from them. Hopefully the current state of the economy will hurt them. They are big, yes and they are bad. More
Had to wait a long time to talk with someone via the phone. Once someone came on the phone their english was horrible. They new nothing about the new model Venza,they said its possible they may see it i phone. Once someone came on the phone their english was horrible. They new nothing about the new model Venza,they said its possible they may see it in a month or 2. Then they said "what other car you want?". 2nd call-for sales manager-reception said they aren't in today instead of asking if I would like to speak with one of the mgrs. on duty. The one she called said he was too busy to talk-he was busy talking to a salesperson. Would not even think of going to the dealership- let alone, making a purchase there! More
Longo Toyota is definitely not the place for questions and answers regarding to new Toyota vehicles. I have already dealt with more than five different salesmen, and not one turns out to be satisfactory. and answers regarding to new Toyota vehicles. I have already dealt with more than five different salesmen, and not one turns out to be satisfactory. The salesmen here are by far the worst of the worst out there. They are very inexperienced, slow to react, and don't know too much about cars. One salesman I dealt with don't even know what VVT-i stands for in the engine. More
