I got the exact car I was looking for with the help of Dann Toyota Avalon and was referred to Toyota Santa Monica by Inez Carrillo (VW Santa Monica). I got the exact car I was looking for with the help of Danny Canteo and David Grey...I found exactly what I was looking for. They not only gave me a great deal but also threw in some extra incentives. Julie Warren in finance got me a great interest rate and the exact payment I was looking for including an extended warranty that will ensure I am taken care of if any surprises occur. I wanted to purchase some all weather mats for the car...Ricky Rodriguez in service assisted me and ordered what I needed. He also made sure the car was detailed and ready when I picked it up. Friendly staff and willing to work with you to make sure you leave the dealership happy. Buying a car can be a very intimidating experience but the staff at Toyota Santa Monica made it painless but most of all exciting to have purchased exactly what I wanted. I will defiitely go back to Toyota Santa Monica for my next purchase...I know I will be taken care of and leave with a smile on my face. More

I went in last night to look at your used inventory. Dino assisted me. I had my eye on a blue Prius 2010. Dino asked me to schedule an appointment with him for today, Sunday, to try to finalize the tr Dino assisted me. I had my eye on a blue Prius 2010. Dino asked me to schedule an appointment with him for today, Sunday, to try to finalize the transaction. I showed up at the agreed upon time to learn that the car was already sold. Via Mr. Park, Dino and I could not finalize on another vehicle, although I had high interest in another, and I thought the dealership would be flexible given my situation. I asked to speak to the manager to complain. I spoke to Mr. Park outside and expressed my unhappiness. He was with Mr. Kohan. After explaining my disappointment, Mr. Kohan blurted out that he had sold the blue Prius last night (I guess after I left). I said, ok, but why was I not told that the car was gone before I came in today. I asked to the group (Dino, Messrs. Park and Kohan), were you expecting for me to come in today, and when I learned that the car was gone, I would just buy another car? Mr. Kohan chuckled form the back of his throat, in a mocking tone and said, "What you think...we do a bait and switch on you?" Interestingly, I never suggested the bait and switch...so why did he suggest that? I asked Mr. Kohan why he chuckled in a mocking tone? He replied, while moving towards me in an aggressive posture, "what you going to do about it?" Dino and Mr. Park were quick to separate Mr. Kohan and me. Nice aggressive tone...right? No reprimand from Mr. Park to Mr. Kohan, though. Dino and Mr. Park suggested that I keep my cool. At that point, Mr. Kohan walked away while continuing to chuckle in a mocking tone. After further discussion, Mr. Park disclosed that the Blue Prius (that I had my eye on) was re-painted completely and that is why it was priced as it was. I asked Mr. Park why was it not disclosed that the car was re-painted. He replied, because we do not have to disclose that information. I asked Mr. Park, is that your standard? He did not reply. So, I ask you, is that your dealership's standard, to only disclose what you have to? Re-painting a car is not something you would want to disclose to customers? Anyhow, total disappointment with my experience. There are so many more details...but, this should be enough. Let me also say, that I believe Dino acted professionally, honest and tried to help me as much as he could and was an innocent bystander in this situation. Please let me know if you need further information. Please let me know how else to escalate this complaint within you organization, and, specifically, why was the re-paint not disclosed in Carfax. I look forward to your reply. Thanks. Kindest Regards. Paul Pastore More

I think the price for the replacement battery was far more than it should have been, but I didn't really have a choice - I wish I had, or had known - and I wish the folk at the Toyota Service Center in S more than it should have been, but I didn't really have a choice - I wish I had, or had known - and I wish the folk at the Toyota Service Center in San Diego, where I'd just had the car serviced a few months ago, had told me it was likely the battery would have to be replace so soon - not much to do about it now - More
