If there was an option to select 0 stars I would have My experience with the sales representatives at Kearny Mesa Toyota was so awful and unprofessional that I felt the need to post my first yelp review. My experience with the sales representatives at Kearny Mesa Toyota was so awful and unprofessional that I felt the need to post my first yelp review. I entered the lot and was approached by a young gentleman, approximately my age (mid 20s). I had come to test drive the 2019 Rav4 Adventure which I had researched beforehand. We chatted for a few minutes and he soon took my license to retrieve the keys for a test drive. Upon his return he was accompanied by another salesman who appeared to be of similar age and equally lacking of experience. He proceeded to explain that because I was not interested in purchasing a vehicle until October 1 (35 days from today) that taking me on a test drive was a "waste of their time" and that they "had another appointment in 10 minutes." This absurd excuse for customer service caught me by surprise to say the least. Especially given that there were at least 5 salesmen and two managers huddled around the entrance, none of whom were assisting a guest nor coming remotely close to selling a vehicle. Had I been a man in his 40s accompanied by his wife I can guarantee that I would not have been discriminated based on my age nor denied a 5-10 minute test drive. Had this salesman been even remotely competent or decent at his job, maybe it would have dawned on him that it was a great opportunity to pitch a shorter purchase timeframe since I was very transparent it was simply a preference. I also made it clear that I had narrowed my search to 2 vehicles, which for a salesman should have been an easy lay-up. Instead, picture the waterboy getting called onto the field and fumbling the snap on the 1 yard line. If you are over the age of 40, maybe this is the dealership for you. However, if you are a young professional with qualified income and a strong credit score, stay clear of this poor excuse of a dealership unless you're fond of discrimination. More

Go anywhere else. Yelp won't let me leave 0 stars, thus my 1. I purchased out my lease on a Prius earlier this month through Kearny Mesa Toyota. Or at least I THOUGH Yelp won't let me leave 0 stars, thus my 1. I purchased out my lease on a Prius earlier this month through Kearny Mesa Toyota. Or at least I THOUGHT I did. Apparently, the transaction was a secret to Toyota Financial, whom I had the lease from. The buffoons in the Kearny Mesa financing department forgot to pay Toyota, or even to let them know that, oops, the sale was completed. As a result, Toyota Financial now thinks I owe them multiple car payments, plus late charges, and they are reporting it to the credit bureaus. The last time I took one of their phone calls, tonight, they mentioned the possibility of repossessing the car. After three unsuccessful long-holding phone calls, I finally got someone at Kearny Mesa, a sales manager named Ismael, to apologize profusely and to promise to "straighten everything out tomorrow morning." Oh yeah? Does that include straightening out my credit? This unacceptable, unprofessional conduct is what they call treating the customer right? If Kearny Mesa were the last car dealership left on Earth, I would still go elsewhere. BEWARE. More

I provided the documentation and went t spoke to an internet sales person who agreed they would honor the written deal I had from another dealership. I provided the documentation and went to make the deal. After two hours of paperwork, they reneged when I refused to pay extra for GAP insurance, extended warranty, etc... A deal is a deal, but this dealership does not have the integrity to honor their agreements. More

Sold dirty car They were ok during the purchase process, although it still took three hours after the deal was made for some reason. I noticed when I first chec They were ok during the purchase process, although it still took three hours after the deal was made for some reason. I noticed when I first checked out my new Sienna that the interior, especially in the rear seats was very dirty. Smudges all over the place, and debris on the floor of the cargo area. The salesman Aamir assured me it would be detailed before I left. The manager Bill and another salesman Patrick Williams also promised it would be fully detailed. I took their word and because they kept me so long, it was dark when I left and I didn't inspect the interior. The next day I saw how dirty it was. I tried to set up an appointment with them to have it detailed, but they were unresponsive. Only after I filled out a survey from Toyota describing my experience did Patrick Williams call me to complain about my survey. Patrick Williams claimed on the phone that told me I would have to come back during the week to have my Sienna detailed, which is not true. I have been trying to contact Toyota Kearny Mesa and Patrick Williams specifically, but Patrick Williams is ignoring my calls and e-mails. They're actually not the worst dealership I've dealt with. Aamir was a nice guy, and Robert was pleasant to deal with. If you do decide to shop here, you should know that their detailing crew does not work on weekends, so if you buy on a weekend you'll probably leave with a dirty, despite what they tell you. And once they have your money, they'll ignore you. More
"Small" fluid water pump leak I've purchased three new vehicles at KMT. This, because of the Service Manager Buckner's honesty and quality work...until today Today my daughter t I've purchased three new vehicles at KMT. This, because of the Service Manager Buckner's honesty and quality work...until today Today my daughter took her 2009 Scion in for an oil change. When she picked it up the service advisor told her she had a "small leak in the water pump and that it would need to be changed in the next four or five oil changes (paraphrased)" Huh? I've been working on cars for 45 years now; a small water pump (WP) leak that will need to be addressed later? I lifted the hood and checked the WP with the engine running and at operating temperature; NO leakage. A few years ago, same thing happened to me at Jimmie Johnsons Chevrolet with my Camaro. Interesting that during the last four years I've taken automotive repair classes at Miramar College. Some of the instructors have told students about the pay benefits of "up selling", particularly at dealerships. "Up selling" is fine, if it's legitimate. This is attempting to sell a customer an unneeded repair (stealing). I will consider filing a complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). More
