Buying cars is not an activity that I particularly enjoy. It takes a great amount of time researching brands that fit my budget and my list of "must-have's." The negative stereotype attached to car sales and It takes a great amount of time researching brands that fit my budget and my list of "must-have's." The negative stereotype attached to car sales and dealerships exist for a reason. It is a complicated process whereby a consumer can very easily be taken advantage of if they're unfamiliar with navigating through the different stages of buying a car. However, not every dealership nor every salesperson within a given dealership operate in this way. I had been working with Jeff Locastro for a month before we finally landed on a car and agreed on a price. His gesture of goodwill on the price and his willingness to work with me was very much appreciated. I waited a little over 2 weeks for the car to arrive at the dealership. The day came when it was ready for me to pick up the car and sign the paperwork with the terms in the finance office. This is where the deal went sour and I ended up taking my deposit back and walking away. I communicated my disappointment regarding my experience to the GM Chad Roberts via email that night. The next day, Chad responded to my email and called me to apologize for the experience and wanted to turn things around. The resolution he offered was generous and steered the course to a positive outcome. They delivered the car to my home along with the paperwork to ensure that no more of my time was wasted. They accommodated my request to email the paperwork to me for review prior to delivering the car that night. Brett Dillon did a great job with demonstrating the vehicle and answering my questions. He has good active listening skills and follow through. He even picked up my car from my work place the following day to take back to service for the security alarm system installation. It's the kind of white glove treatment you would typically expect from a luxury brand. Completely unexpected but wholeheartedly appreciated. The business of buying cars is never going to be 100% smooth and trouble free but the recovery is equally, if not more important than a flawless transaction. Thank you Jeff, Chad and Brett for a memorable sales experience. I'm very pleased to have South Coast Toyota as my go-to dealership! More

Just wanted to say that South Coast Toyota, namely Anna Ochoa, gave me the best service on my peeling paint on my 2008 Toyota Highlander. She was friendly, efficient, and organized…five stars all the way. Ochoa, gave me the best service on my peeling paint on my 2008 Toyota Highlander.
