When I hear someone mentioning Longo Toyota and/or I see the words Longo Toyota, several things immediately come to my mind: Tom Ryan, Agent of Change, Professional work ethics, Professional, and a few answ the words Longo Toyota, several things immediately come to my mind: Tom Ryan, Agent of Change, Professional work ethics, Professional, and a few answered questions. Why is Longo Toyota different? As I am approaching 62 years of age, I have come to learn and now understand Longo Toyota; they believe an auto company can produce both a quality product, at a reasonable rate, and that the same auto company can also produce a product—a vehicle, for change. Their point of view is well documented. The evidence and impact of this produced quality product and of these changes are clearly seen in their market placement in the auto industry and through their active focus on the environment, education, safety initiatives and their support of nonprofit organizations that have helped and strengthen diverse communities not only in El Monte, but across the United Sates. How is Longo Toyota different? I would think that there are people in various industries throughout the United States who would define professional work ethics as rules: that explain how employees in the work place could successfully carry out their respective functions—in the workplace—to attain the appearance of being professional. I am sure Longo Toyota has such rules. Of course, these professional work ethics rules will include being creative; objectivity, good time management, great communication skill, excellent interpersonal relationships. And, as one could easily guess, in this context you merely achieve a great knowledge of how to define professional work ethics that might equate to being seen by your employer as a good worker: one who steadfastly follows all the contents of professional work ethics. What is the Longo Toyota difference? Here is a synopsis of what "Merriam" has to say regarding a professional: - an adjective which is defined as such: 1. Conforming to the ethical or technical standards of a profession 2. Exhibiting a courteous... generally businesslike manner in the workplace 3. Gaining livelihood [being paid] in a field (e.g. sports) also engaged in by amateurs 4. Having a permanent career in Beyond the dictionary, we have come to expect that a professional would have the following underlining traits: talent in the associated field, experience, positive ethics, proper decorum, businesslike, mentoring predilection, and a positive reputation. There are several reasons for why we would most likely attribute these as underline traits to a person we name as a professional: especially, when we consider that an Amateur—derived from Latin root word for "Love” do things because they love to do them. Moreover, in our society we have come to understands that a professional do tasks they are paid to do at a certain level of competency that justifies being paid. Namely, the broader traits we would attribute to a professional: Foremost is trustworthiness, helpfulness and caring. These traits are not only traits that we must see being demonstrated by the professional but we must also feel that these traits are being projected from the professional onto us, before we consider such a person to be a true/pure professional. At the risk of repeating, these are the traits we must know are internalized by the professional that we call a professional. Who makes Longo Toyota stand out? Tom Ryan 1. Tom Ryan equals trustworthiness 2. Tom Ryan equals helpful 3. Tom Ryan is committed to caring for both the produced product quality and the client Tom Ryan has shown to both his colleagues, superiors and clients that he cares by being reliable, diligent and that he has a positive attitude with regards to his work, by completing his work on time, not wasting the time of his colleagues or clients, and he manages both his time, colleague and clients time in the most efficient and effective means possible for all concerned with both maintaining an excellent product and maintaining excellent client relationships for the betterment of the Company.

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

Thanks to Randy, a potentially difficult warranty issue was fixed without stress. I would definitely recommend Randy and his team for Scion/Toyota service. 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
