Helped me figure out the right car for my work My salesperson, Leslie Ainsworth, was fantastic.

I own a dog walking company and needed to trade in my 2015 CRV "clean car" for a "more suitable to walk dogs in" car. I ended up buying a used (Toyota certified) 2014 Toyota Siena with 14K miles that had been a lease. I was originally looking for a truck, but in talking to Leslie about the range of dogs I walk, I realized the lower/more accessible height was important for older/less able-bodied dogs and still great for the young and vibrant pups. One week in using it as my dog walking mobile and I can say the Siena is a great fit. Leslie was way better than any car salesperson I have worked with and I have worked with many (In my 11 years in business I have bought 5 cars total and I own 3 cars now--I bought the other 4 from Oakland Honda and Oakland Toyta ). Leslie was easy going but very informative and more thorough than any other car salesperson I have worked with. I think he told me he's been working for this dealership for 23 years in several capacities. He really knows Toyotas inside and out and a lot about the competition, too. This is a great dealership and if you can work with Leslie you're in very good hands. Thumbs up! More
Above and Beyond Service, thank you Ainsworth Leslie! It is an amazing feeling to honestly say my fiancé and I had the best car purchasing experience. I recently accepted a job, which requires commuting It is an amazing feeling to honestly say my fiancé and I had the best car purchasing experience. I recently accepted a job, which requires commuting at least 85 miles per day. I had a 2013 Toyota Corolla, also purchased from One Toyota and during our servicing had heard they rented cars. So, we were actually just looking to rent a Toyota Prius to get a feel for it and see if it was an option. Unfortunately, there were no Prius' to rent and since we were already there decided to go look at the Prius' on the lot. Within minutes we were approached and asked if we needed assistance or had any questions. We informed them we had intended to rent however, they were sold out and we were just looking. At this point, we were told about the possibility of 'borrowing' a car and were introduced to Ainsworth Leslie, who goes by Leslie. Leslie was very friendly and brought a calm laid back demeanor. He explained the process of borrowing a car and told us we should go on a test drive because the Prius was not operated like other cars and he wanted to show us a few things. While filling out the paperwork, Leslie asked us if it would be okay to get our 6-year-old daughter a cookie. He asked us discreetly, and not in front of her, which was a major plus. We went on a test drive and the car immediately impressed me even though the features would take a little getting used to. Upon returning to the dealership we asked Leslie if he could run the some numbers in regards to trading in our Corolla and what our new payments looked like. Leslie appraised our car very quickly and was able to tell us the difference in payments. He even took the time to look at gas comparisons between the Prius and Corolla because he knew that was our primary concern. It turns out that our Corolla had over $2000 equity that could be used as a down payment. Additionally, the President’s day special was no monthly payments for 3 months. My fiancé and I talked it over and decided to go ahead a purchase the car. Never, not once did Leslie ever ask us if we wanted to purchase the car or push us in that direction. Because we were not intending to purchase a car we had our 6 year old with us. Anyone with kids knows there is no way you would bring a child, considering how long it takes to process the paperwork. Leslie was prepared for this as well. Out of his personal bag from home, he pulls out crayons and paper for her to draw (because he has children, one of which is our daughters age). When our daughter complains she is hungry as kids often do, he had some Cheez-its waiting for her, with our approval of course. He even gave her special tasks to help, like bringing us the keys and having her show us special features in the car. He is most definitely the best car salesman I have ever met, but more importantly is a very kind, caring, professional and amazing man. Thank you Leslie and One Toyota for your amazing service! More

Purchased 2 trucks in 2 months. First truck was scratched in the service department on a warranty repair of a new truck. Second truck was a more expensive incorrect model then we had discussed. The dealershi in the service department on a warranty repair of a new truck. Second truck was a more expensive incorrect model then we had discussed. The dealership refused to work with me on the price even though the price mistakes where all theirs. One Toyota initially refused to remove and replace a lock that they placed on the spare tire. This is why I have rated the dealer so poorly. More
