In short, the sales process was friendly, easy and fully transparent. First, the level of honesty was amazing as we weighed different options and possibilities. Leonard was forthright, direct and clear. Pur transparent. First, the level of honesty was amazing as we weighed different options and possibilities. Leonard was forthright, direct and clear. Purchasing a car is always filled with trade offs, pluses and minuses, advantages and disadvantages of each decision. Leonard was patient and more than willing to discuss at length our options during every step of the process. We ended up in a very good situation thrilled with the decision we eventually made. Second, we were never pressured or steered in a way that put Leonard's or the dealership's interests ahead of ours. It was obvious that Leonard had our best interests at heart. Last, Leonard made himself readily available and approachable through every step of the process whenever we had questions or concerns. We are more than completely satisfied and would gladly recommend Leonard and Lakeside Toyota to anyone looking to purchase a car! More

This is the first new (to me) car I’ve purchased in my adult life. I knew I was going to buy either a Landcruiser or Lexus GX-550. I walked in off the street and Leonard was paired as my salesperson. Le adult life. I knew I was going to buy either a Landcruiser or Lexus GX-550. I walked in off the street and Leonard was paired as my salesperson. Leonard was excellent at: knowledge of the vehicle itself, organic sales Prescence and purchase process knowledge. Regarding knowledge of the vehicle itself, I arrived in as an educated buyer. I had several esoteric questions about the 4-cylinder hybrid engine, several of the digital features, among other questions which were important to have answered to solidify my decision to buy the car. Leaonard answered each question thoughtfully and with flying colors. He was engaged, present, and affable. My fiancé and left Lakeside with a good feeling. It took three weeks for my fiancé to schedule the Lexus test drive. During that period, Leonard followed up in a very patient yet persistent but not demanding manner. This organic style of communication is highly desired; no one wants to be pushed to make a big decision. In my experience, customers want to feel like they are highly in control. When we ultimately made the decision to go with Toyota instead of the Lexus, Leaonard was excellent at sailing us through that process also. Always responsive, tracked down questions as needed, etc. etc. We will be buying a highlander in the coming years and look forward to buying it through him. Way to go Leonard! Please let me know if you have questions or want additional information. More

After reviewing the list of available used vehicles online, I found a great opportunity and submitted an inquiry the next morning. The salesperson, Leonard, called me on his way to work to acknowledge online, I found a great opportunity and submitted an inquiry the next morning. The salesperson, Leonard, called me on his way to work to acknowledge my inquiry, then called me again shortly after arriving to let me know the vehicle was still available. A few hours later we arrived at the dealership and worked with Karl to do a test drive and Jessie on the purchase. All three were very nice individuals and treated me and my wife well. We didn't have to wait long to do paperwork and eventually drive away! More
