I have worked for Elk Grove Toyota since I turned 18 years old. I have worked my way up through every department to become a sales manager where I truly feel I can help people the most. I enjoy the people I work with. Most of all I enjoy helping people make one of the biggest purchases they may make in their lives.

They had just the car I was in the market for, a 2019 VW Jetta GLI Autobahn in a rare silver and black but I was put off by some of the reviews, especially the complaints about people driving a long distanc Jetta GLI Autobahn in a rare silver and black but I was put off by some of the reviews, especially the complaints about people driving a long distance and finding the car they wanted not available. Since I would be coming from the Bay Area I called and was connected with Tareena who checked and then double checked inventory, assured me it would be there for me, set an appointment, lined me up with a great salesman, Andriy, and connected me with a sales manager, John, who quoted me a somewhat reduced price on the spot which I accepted. On the way there I got lost on back roads because of a detour but I called and Andriy said not to worry. Arriving 45 minutes late Andriy was waiting at the curb and we were on the road in about five minutes. He was knowledgeable, patient, helpful and relaxed ........ no hard sell from him, actually he was the best car salesman I had ever worked with. He honored the price from John and after quickly moving through some paper work he passed me on to Samir in finance after Tareena stopped by to say hello. Samir was equally professional, informative and patient, no hard upselling from Samir. He quickly and efficiently moved through the multitude of mandatory documents. His space age desktop was amazing and made the process quick and painless. So, it was a class act from start to finish, far and away the best car buying experience I have ever had. Everyone was pleasant, professional, honest, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. When we ran into some issues due to some of my special requirements they took them in stride and quickly came up with good solutions. So if I am in the market for a car in the future, Elk Grove Toyota is the first place I will look. More
