Carson Toyota Reviews

It's not a great time for buyers in this market with new cars being sold at well above MSRP. You have to shop around because that markup varies from dealer to dealer. I was looking for a RAV4 and had made inquiries at several dealerships in the area. Jim Parks at Carson Toyota was the only one who said he could get me the model and options I wanted. And he did! He kept me informed of its progress from manufacture to shipping to arrival so I knew when the car would get here. Everyone I dealt with at Carson Toyota, including Ozzy in finance, were wonderful. They were upfront about everything. No surprises. They took care of me and delivered
Steven, Thank you for the FIVE-star review! We’re BEYOND happy knowing our customers are thoroughly satisfied with their shopping experience here at Carson Toyota. As our company brand states, 'We make it easy on you'. Once your Rav4 is due for service please feel free to contact me directly for an appointment.

For the most part the staff here does a amazing job helping you locate the vehicle you are searching for. And if they don't have it in stock they search through their directory for cars within various other dealerships that are toyota to find your vehicle. The only downside I have with this spot is bringing your car in for service is a eye sore. You will be waiting quite a while so best bring a book or get dropped off and picked up. Beyond that asking the right questions will get you the car and payment you want.
Charlie, thank you for the review! We are pleased to inform you effective August 1st changes will be coming to our service department that will help improve check in time, updates, and overall experience. We're excited for the changes! If you need service feel free to give us a call to 310-522-2300.

Manager at service department is just arrogant… I asked for help and he sent me back to my car because he was “too busy” Total incompetent. Carson Toyota your logo say you exceed? Let me tell you… you don’t. Service advisors are much nicer than this “manager”. I guess he is in such a high position he can’t be nice to customers anymore
K
Daniel and Jesse were very helpful! I wasn’t sure if I would get approved but they made it happen. Thank you again, excellent service!
Karls Arguello, Thank you for the FIVE-star review! We’re ecstatic to know our sales team met and exceeded your expectations! Once you’re ready for maintenance feel free to give us a call, and we’ll gladly schedule you in.

I can’t express how terrible this visit was to this shop. Had a minor service done and a Check engine Light evaluated. Had a minor service completedand told nothing was wrong with the car. In the following 3 days after service, we have lost a hub cap and my wife BROKE DOWN on the 10. When calling to discuss with the mechanic, I was transferred to someone who wasn’t in the office that day. Spending another $300 to correct their mistakes. DONT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. To top if off, a salesman followed me to my car to discuss a new car option. Go to Norwalk or MDR, much better service.

5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for José Giron, you are one of the most relevant and polite people in this dealer. Unfortunately, this dealer is one of many dealers who are taking advantage of the situation "shortness of inventory, markup prices." Don't fall for the (we have a markup price of $15k but looking at you exceptional credit, we are lowering it to $5K.) NO WAY.... There are still some dealers who have a msrp on their vehicles with no markups, they might add accessories to your vehicle, but is good. You are leaving with something that adds value to your vehicle. -Ontario. Anthony -Corona. Claudia

I bought a new Toyota Highlander here in August 2021 for $57000. It is the second Toyota I've bought in five years and would consider myself a good client. On Memorial Day 2022 we were travelling down the aerospace highway and our front lower bumper cover and attached plastic parts suddenly fell off. This was unexpected because we had not hit anything on the road, which was proven by hours of drive cam footage leading up to the incident. At Carson Toyota, where we bought the car and the warranty covered it, Juan Esquer, the drive service manager, treated us poorly and refused to have the damage covered. Even after being shown the video. I would never again recommend going to Carson Toyota, and I would have serious concerns about ever buying another Toyota based on this experience.
Isabel, customer satisfaction is our NUMBER ONE priority here at Carson Toyota. With that being said, we understand your time and safety is valuable, and would like to offer further assistance. Please feel free to contact me directly at your earliest convenience to (310)522-2373. Brenda Rivas Business Development Manager [email protected] Phone: (310)522-2373

Pernil helped me find the perfect fit and offered great advice when I was considering what car to get. Overall great experience!
Hi Whitney, congrats on your new purchase! As a family owned dealership our goal is to always treat our customers like family. 🙌

I would like to start this review with saying Cesar Valdivia is an amazing sales professional. He was polite, respectful, and over all a wonderful person. He helped my family with our lease buyout. He was forthcoming and I fully trusted him and his guidance throughout the lease buyout process. I would recommend meeting with Cesar for all your Toyota needs. Mauricio Alcantara in finance was also very helpful. He processed our paperwork quickly and efficiently. Please come and visit these two gentlemen for a great auto buying experience.
Thank you Sibylle Medina for sharing your experience and for the 5 stars! We are happy to hear Cesar and Mauricio took good care of you while at our dealership. Its a pleasure doing business with you. We are a full service dealership, when you are ready for your first maintenance give us a call and we will take good care of you.

IF YOU TRADE IN YOUR VEHICLE; OBTAIN A COPY OF THE TITLE TRANSFER PAPERWORK. This dealership never transferred the title of my trade in, sold it to another individual. I've come to find out by a slew of tickets and DMV suspension notice that have come in the mail. I RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT SELL OR TRADE HERE. GO TO ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP
Hello Pro Webs, my name is Ricardo with our Customer Care management team. I would like to hear more about what happened with your trade. If you are opened to discussion my contact info is below. Kind regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2300 [email protected]

Very poor customer service. I brought my 2020 Rav4 for a regular maintenance service . I had an appointment at 7:45am and I left home at 11am. So as I was waiting on my car I asked the parts department when will it be ready the young lady that was helping me get me the information I needed was very rude. Her answer to me was I don't know you would have to ask your advisor. I felt that as a customer you expect a positive and not a rude answer. The way she approach the situation was not the correct one.
Hello Heriberto, thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry that our parts department didnt provide you the help you needed the right way. Please make note of my contact information below. I am here to help. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2342 [email protected]

Great service and good people to deal with. Yes, I've had to wait, yes, I had to be patient and ask questions about what was happening, but every time, I get an answer, and am thankful they are patient with me. The always have great manners and are curteous, right up to the part that you are not. I've seen it, but your frustration is not their problem. Fixing your car is. I've never had a bad experience here, period. It's the main reason I keep coming back! My next car will most likely be from here as well!
Thank you William Gillest for the 5 stars! and for sharing your experience with others. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2342 [email protected]

I take my car to get service here all the time staff is friendly. Prices however are a bit pricey but I like that they keep record of what they had already done to my vehicle and when they did it. This way they can know what it needs.

We had a great experience at the Carson Toyota dealership. It was late in the evening but the staff was still friendly and patient as we look to purchase a new vehicle. We were assisted by Will Guirguis, who was very knowledgeable, patient and looking out for the best interests of my family. They worked within our budget and we ended up getting the vehicle we wanted, a Toyota RAV4. With plans for another purchase down the road, I am definitely doing business with this dealership and with Will in the future.
Thanks for posting about your amazing experience with Will!

Carson Toyota is awesome! Alexander Campos was very polite and assured me my vehicle would be taken care of, and was in good hands!

Expensive. Hard to determine if they suggest is necessary. For service, phone rings and rings and then they hang up. Oil change takes half away when other places do it in minutes.
C
I went in for Service. I was in and out within the HOUR which I really appreciated. I did also have an appointment. The reason I gave a 4 star is because the contact less check out was fast and very very easy to use but it was kind of pointless because I still had to stand in line, touch a pen to sign documents AGAIN and talk with the worker just to get a slip for the people to bring my car out... but over all great visit, clean and fast!
Thank you Chrys M for the 4 stars! Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2342 [email protected]

Transferred for 30 minutes at 1401 on 07/13/2022. Nobody was willing to find a price on a part. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Still haven’t gotten an answer. Then they kept hanging up the phone.

We bought a 2013 Kia Soul here. We worked with Greg Bowman and Pablo Ramos. Both were very friendly and answered all of our questions. Greg shared a lot of useful information. I was very impressed with their processes. We didn't have to wait long for any of the steps. I work for Honda but I would go back for another used car purchase.
Thank you Robert for sharing your experience with Greg and for the 5 stars! Please let us know what we could have done different to earn 5 stars from you next time. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2300 [email protected]

At first it was kind of a sour experience but by negotiating and comparing across different dealers prices and mileage for same vehicle, we came to conclusion and a great negotiated price. Thanks also to the bank financing which they also help out by negotiating also on their best interest. I am very happy with the end results. Thank you all.
Thank you Salvador for sharing your experience and for the 5 stars! I will be sharing your review with our sales and finance team. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager [email protected]

Amazing service from the salesman Larry Gibbs. I called 7 dealerships three days ago, telling them I needed a car quoted and that I intended to lease two days later. Larry was the only guy who could furnish a quote in a few hours—which should be a remarkably simple task. So all his competition lost... He is a consummate professional, a kind man and you should ask for him. THANK YOU LARRY!
Thank you Jim Best for sharing your experience and for the 5 stars! Happy to hear Larry was able to take care of you.

Great Costumer service! I chose the car i wanted online from their website, they didn't have enough picture of the car, I called and asked a few questions and they took the time to send me more pictures and answer all my questions. When we arrived the car was already clean and ready to take home. The team was very respectful, friendly and took the proper precaution to keep the distance and had their mask on at all time. This is the 4th car my family purchased from there - great costumer service. Thanks to the team who helped me: Sales person: Xavier Finance: Michael Clemons Sales MGR: Ibrahim They make me feel like home. including the service department when I take my car for an oil change.. Thank you Carlos Uria and team.

I had such a horrible experience here, not only was I belittled but the associate helping me said my wife shouldn't have a truck because apparently trucks are only for men I guess. I didn't know a car was gender assigned, and the disrespect of when I asked for my keys back because I was getting my car appaised he sent someone else to give me the keys and he saw no wrong in what he did. Very sad and horrible experience I had at this dealership.

I bought a car from here less then 6 months ago, I came to Carson Toyota because I felt it was a reputable dealer and they would not sale me something that was going to break down less then 6 months after buying it. Last week my car would not turn on I finally got it to turn on, but then I had all these lights turn on. I called to see if they would take a look at it, they said that I don't have warranty so it would not be covered. I never thought that buying a car from a big name dealership I would have to go through having car problem in less then 6 months from purchasing it. I would have expected them to at least look at it free of charge since they said before I purchased the car that it was put through all these inspections and the car was in great shape, and that they would not sale anything that would have issues. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone and make sure you have someone you trust look at the car before purchasing from them, because at the end of the day all they care about is their commission.
Hello Olivia, our service director Carlos would like to know more of what happened. Pls give him a call 310-522-2533. We want all our customers to be happy with their purchase and we are here to help. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza 310-522-2300 [email protected]

A huge thank you to Jesse Q. for finding me the EXACT Corolla Hatchback I wanted and being able to quickly get me in and out of the dealership and on my way home in my new car. I love it, i love Carson Toyota. Thank you to the finance department for making the process 1000x easier smoother than any other dealership my family or I have ever been to. Great showroom too! My local dealerships wouldn't put the effort in like Carson Toyota did so driving about an hour away from home to visit Carson Toyota was worth it. Would do again.
Thank you David for sharing your experience and for the 5 stars! Our customers always come first and I'm Happy to hear this reflected in your visit.

Thank you to SAM & Pablo for being so helpful with me getting my first car. They explained all the terms and agreements and even helped me trade-in my old car. This my first car and they helped me pick out the best car in my price budget and with specific specs I have been looking for. I highly would recommend this dealership when looking for a new or used car with inviting and helpful staff. 10/10 experience

I have bought or leased a vehicle every three years for many, many years. Eddie answered questions very quickly & he did not play around! Many times I have had salespeople change numbers they had given me when I would go into their store. There was no game playing, etc. He made my purchase simple & fast.

This review is for the financing department person's name (Osvaldo) (Osvi) I declined the toyota/safe-guard towing package since i have AAA i trusted him so i did not put so much attention at the end of signing the contract when i got home i checked and he charged $1295.00 for his beautiful package that he decided to add. Stay away from this guy, he is very unprofessional he does what he wants.
Hello Benito, thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. When you get a moment if you are open to it, pls give me a call I would like to understand more about what happened.

***DO NOT BUY YOUR VEHICLE HERE*** They say there going to give you 0.2 APR and don’t. Also I came in to purchased my vehicle 4 years ago and now they are telling me it’s a lease vehicle. They promise you all this stuff and don’t follow through. Please if you do buy a car here make sure you record everything they tell you! It will save you so much trouble later.
Rosa when you get a moment pls give me a call, I will be more than happy to go over your terms with you to avoid any confusion. My contact information is below. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2300 [email protected]

I am always treated well at this dealership. Never rushed or ignored. They have programs that not only save me money, but are attempting to save water and protect our environment. This means a lot to me! The service writers are polite, respectful and just so accommodating. I plan to have all of my servicing done there and will probably buy my next vehicle there also.
Thank you Julia for sharing your experience and for the 5 stars. We are always here to help.

My experience with Carson Toyota has been excellent anytime I have dealt with them, either in the service department or sales. They are family owned so they can do way more than corporate dealerships. Their price tags beat EVERYONE. Their maintenance dept is staffed efficiently, meaning there's more than enough people to handle customers, so the wait time is manageable for regular service. I just had a part installed on my 2018 Highlander and it was completed 1 hour before their estimated time of completion.
Thank you Hu Man for sharing you experience with us. We will be sure to share your review with our Sales and Service teams. We always aim to give our customers great service, and reviews like this really make our day!

I always wait for my vehicle to be serviced. The dealership is nice and clean, the advisors are friendly and capable. The waiting area is exceptional. I do always get approached by sales to buy out my lease early, but nothing too heinous. Salesmen being salesmen.
Thank you Michelle!

I must say the worst experience ever with the sales manager (Issac Micheal Kassis manager-don’t have managers name) I have a 2016 Tacoma single cab that I wanted to trade in for a newer model. I was looking for a 4x4 off roading trim. I test drive the 2021 Tacoma 4x4 off roading model- it was ok basic. The sales rep pushed for me to sit down and talk numbers I told him that it was to basic for me he asked me how much am I paying monthly for my truck now. I told him $500 a month was so he told me that he can do 0 down and $500 if it was leased. I said sure why not so we sat down talked numbers then he went to go talk to his manager. I heard his manager yelling no then 30 seconds later the manager came up to me and asked me questions. Seemed like he was trying to school me about number telling me that there no way he’s going to lease me 2021 with $500 monthly payment and my truck is not worth anything that my monthly payments should be $1000(come on now $1000 is ridiculous) I kindly told him that my truck is lifted and I added viper security system to my truck and I made some upgrades and to top it off he never went outside to check our my truck. Manager was very rude and told me that he will not lease me the truck and he can show me cheap models. I told him no thanks I know what I want then he proceeded to tell me that he can’t help me out and I should stick to my truck if I made all theses upgrades all sarcastically. I work to hard to receive rude customer service not once did the manager told me I’m here to help and we can work something out. I got up asked for my keys and told him to have a good day. Little did the manager know I have $12,000 in my savings account and I was willing to bump up the monthly payment but definitely not $1000 (I didn’t even asked for a $500 monthly payment the sales rep told me he can try to get me that price) my credit is great and I’m financed by Toyota. This was definitely a waste of my time. Never judge a book by its cover. Definitely not coming back.
Sorry to hear about your experience with us, please give me a call i would like to hear the details of your visit. 310-522-2342 Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager [email protected]

I purchased a Prius from Carson Toyota last week and my experience was nothing short of amazing. When I first walked in I was greeted by the friendliest staff. They called down my dealer, Alex, and he was very friendly/professional. Alex was very helpful and unlike other dealers he did not press/pressure me to add on a bunch of extra coverage/parts that would make the cost of the car skyrocket. He was very straightforward with the pricing of the Prius and he even managed to discount the price and give me a New Grad Discount! I didn't even know about the discount until I came in! Another thing about Alex was his above and beyond customer service skills. Though the dealership was closing he stayed longer to finish the sale and he did not seemed rushed or too pushy. He also offered me a free detailing whenever I want! Most dealers wouldn't be comfortable offering this to customers. I enjoyed my experience with Carson Toyota and if you need a car please ask for Alex! Overall: 10/10 Stars
Thank you for the 5 Stars and... the amazing post Seannn!

Larry Gibbs helped me go through the process of getting my new RAV4 and I couldn't be happier with his help. He was very knowledgeable, listened to what I was looking for, and worked with me to get me the car I wanted and respecting the budget I had. Highly highly highly recommend Carson Toyota, and specially working with Larry.

I Love Carson Toyota! Since I purchased my CH-R I have had superb service. Never a terribly long wait at all. They are very attentive to my needs and answer all my questions with no pressure to buy anything. Family oriented, nice staff indeed! Thank you Chris Ramos for always taking care of me and my beautiful car!! KV
Katherine, it's clear that you are a very nice person so you manifested a wonderful experience. Thank you for bringing an open heart and a positive disposition. We truly appreciate that!
J
Making an appointment truly helps. You arrive 15 minutes early, they check you in. You meet with a representative, in this case I had the pleasure of meeting Chris. Not only did he explain the service my vehicle was getting, but answered all my questions without hesitation. Very knowledgeable and professional. I was in and out in 30 minutes tops. Thank you.
Thank you for recognizing Chris!

Spectacular experience. Professional staff. Clean well maintained restrooms. Vast selection of quality vehicles. Prompt service department. And awesome coffee machines. Well earned 5 stars. Would definitely recommend to anyone ready to buy a high quality vehicle that will become a valuable asset to your life and family.
Hi Darryan! Thank you for your business and the wonderful words of praise.

I had no problems with this Dealership and James Park was GREAT. He gave me price online and I shopped the price around. I had one Toyota dealership say they would give me great deal on a trade and match Carson's price but, the day I went to buy the car, they said they could not give that deal. So, I went back to Carson because they did have the best deal. Also, when I went to sign my paperwork, it was quick and easy. They ask but did not push me to buy extra addons. I am not an employee of Google and this review is of my own experience at this wonderful dealership!!!
We're glad to read that James Park took such great care of you!

Always prefer bringing in my vehicle to Carson Toyota for it's regular oil change. It's convenient for me since I work in Torrance. I can drop off my car and get a ride into work. They have taken good care of my car and I always ask for Daniel Juarez. He is just great and always provides me with outstanding customer service. He's honest and professional.
S
It was easy, they showed me what they recommended, they showed my wife and I a few cars. They were very helpful, Hisham and sales person have a great knowledge they took me threw everything. And to sign the contract, the guy finished everything within 20 minutes which is amazing! Finally they took me to the Car and made me familiar with it! Car was washed, gas tank filled, very professional! Made me feel amazing about myself! This car is #5 I bought from Carson Toyota, highly recommend this company to everyone that I know! And I call it a friendly place, great job, love my car!!!!!

This is a dealership with good customer service and attention to detail. The sales people are pretty friendly, attentive, and are patient with questions. The best part about this dealership is how they really do try to cultivate one on one customer relationships. The only area they need to improve in is with following up after they promise to.
Thank you Wayne for sharing your experience and for the 4 stars. I will forward your review to our general manager in hopes to earn 5 stars from you in future visits. Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager. 310-522-2410

Adrianna and Samantha went above and beyond to get me in and out of there with ease. I was very pleased with my experience at Carson Toyota. Also as a side note, I installed a skid plate on my Tacoma that became loose and was making noise while driving, they had the mechanic tighten and torque it so it was no longer loose or making noise. Thanks again!
Thank you Nick for the 5 stars and great review! We will be sure to pass on the message to Adrianna and Samantha. We are always here to help you.

Overall, I was disappointed with this visit and will not return. There was initial confusion because I requested a rental car before I came in that I'd need during my service appointment. I was previously not charged by another Toyota, so I was never told I was going to be paying for it until the rental person had finished my paperwork and let me know of the fee. She was pleasant to work with, as well as the service advisor in the end who helped me when I picked up my car. That being said, my right front door had about a 2 foot long scratch after my service. When I brought it up, they wiped at it with their finger and said it would probably come out, but a few people didn't seem to think it was a big deal. When it was clear we weren't leaving, they took my car to someone to detail to help, but upon observation after the appointment, it's definitely still there. I'm mostly disappointed in the lack of their willingness to fix the situation given how obvious of an issue it was.
Thank you for connecting with us and for sharing your feedback, Courtney. Please rest assured your thoughts and comments were addressed with our teams, as we're always looking for ways to improve for a better guest experience.

Unfortunately this place cares way more about making an extra dollar than their customers. After finding the exact car online I had been looking for for a long time, I called to confirm its availability and sent a family member to drive the car and negotiate the price. After multiple phone calls to set up coming to get the vehicle and buying a ticket to fly down from SF (within 48 hrs since I was assured they would have it for me) they sold the car and didn’t even let me know even though they knew I was flying down to get the car. I’m now out the car and the price of a pricey last minute plane ticket. I recommend taking your business to a place that cares more about their customers.
Thank you for the feedback Christi.

As soon as I pulled in to Toyota, I was greeted with a smile and taken into a room to speak with the service specialist Bryan. It was my first time ever taking my car to a dealer to get checked out and he was exceptional in walking me through the whole process. I told him my issue and he explained to me approximately how long it will take and that I'd be receiving a phone call to ask which services I was and was not going to go through with. When I got back to Toyota, he was with another customer, greeted me, and kindly asked me to go in to pay the cashier and that he'd get back to me in just a few minutes. He's outstanding with his customer service. I would definitely come back to get service done

Internet salesman Jesse Quinonez was my contact during negotiations. He was very pleasant, quick to respond to my questions via email, and provided the best deal I could find. Other staff members were equally friendly and professional in performing their tasks to help us purchase a 2021 Prius Prime Plug-in Limited model.
Thank you Dale for sharing your experience, and for the 5 stars! We will be sharing this review with Jesse and his team. Business Development Manager Ricardo Meza [email protected]

Greg Bowman the fleet manager was great to work with. He always maintained communication prior to me coming in and when I did come in he had the car ready for me to test drive. The whole process went smoothly and quickly.

This is the best service center I've experienced in all the time I've owned vehicles. They are ahead of the game in every area when it comes to customer service. And they do the little things that make people feel welcomed (like bagels, water and juice offered to drivers waiting in line). And then returning to pick up my car is a breeze. The facility is always clean and the layout is comfortable and totally has the customer in mind.
J
Smooth and quick process. No major haggling. Wer were able to make deal without a long and drawn out process. I mentioned that a wiper blade was frayed, which I believe should have been replaced before car was taken out to lot for sale. Other than that, a pleasant shopping experience. This is the 2nd vehicle that I have purchased from this dealership.
Thank you Jr for the 5 stars.

My car was in and out in a timely manner. Patty Alonso was my Service Representative, and as usual, she was courteous and efficient. She also recommended the body shop where I took my car to following today's service to have the torn bumper clip repaired; within 15 minutes, that too was repaired for the cost of a cup of coffer.
Thank you Cheryl for posting about your wonderful experience with Patty!

The service department is amazing ! The experience from start to finish was seamless, the staff was extremely friendly, considerate, and welcoming. Their service manager Juan was great, his updates were consistent and efficient. Adriana was the Service Advisor assigned to my vehicle and she was very professional, very knowledgeable and caring. The cashier department was also friendly and made it easy to pick up my vehicle. Definitely recommend if you're looking to service your vehicle, you won't regret it!

Gerardo Flores and Mo were and absolute delight. We drove 2 hours from Kern county to look at a Supra they had in stock. All the paperwork was ready for me when I walked in. In and out in about 3 hours including all paperwork and a test drive. One of the best experiences I've had with a dealership.
Hi Branden! Congrats on your new purchase! We'll be sure to thank Gerardo and Mo for their stellar service. 🙌

Today I had the worst customer service experience at this dealership. Unprofessional and the lowest customer service I have ever had in my life. Starting from the regular salesperson to management team. I was looking for a car to lease, but no help was offered what so every. They were treating customers based on the look and the nationality. I was asked what nationality I was, and inappropriate rational comments were made from the general manager. Don’t shop with this racist dealership they don’t deserve your time and money.

I have driven from San Diego to Carson twice now to buy new cars. The local dealers were unwilling to do work with me on even basic arrangements. Luckily, I got to work with Jim Park at Carson Toyota, who was an absolute professional and provided excellent customer service. I look forward to working with Jim for my next new car and would highly recommend.
Thank you Jef for sharing your experience with Jim and for the 5 stars! When you are ready for your first maintenance if you in town, we will be happy to service your vehicle. Kind Regards; Ricardo Meza Business Development Manager 310-522-2300 [email protected]

On April 23, 2022 I went to Toyota dealer Carson, I meet with a gentleman Gary. I talked to him about my concern to buy a car, I got know that he is a wonderful man and his way of taking care of his customer is amazing. Thank you Gary for your gentle dealings with your customer.

The cashier's are TOXIC !! Barking orders , no thank you or please ...asking to see your paperwork then telling you " That's your contract, not your paperwork" Let me tell you everything is on paper, you wanted to see my paperwork...well I gave it to you. Don't complain , just say thank you and hand it back. Be more professional, cashier job is being professional..looks bad on organization, when cashier's are TOXIC

Let me just start by saying, JIM Park is the best salesperson I've ever encountered in my car buying experience over the years. My husband and I knew exactly what we wanted. We were looking for a Toyota Rav 4 TRD off road. That specific trim was not easily available anywhere near us in Oceanside, CA. We found the perfect car online and contacted Toyota of Carson to see if we could make the deal before driving all the way up to Carson with our 2 year old. Jim wasn't able to hold the car for us, but helped us figure out a way to make it work so that we could see the car and start the process before we arrived. We got to the dealership right when it opened on a Saturday and were met by Jim. He was so friendly, kind and easy to deal with. We actually had FUN buying a car! He was so personable and gave special attention to my son, which made it fun for him too. Jim also made sure the process of buying the car was quick and easy and we were out of there a lot quicker than I could have possibly imagined! If you are looking to purchase a car from Toyota, ask for Jim and get yourself a rad new car!!! We are so happy with our purchase and would drive to Carson again just to experience the level of service and professionalism this dealership offers its customers. They really take the time to make you feel welcome!

Friendly people, especially our sales fleet manager Jim Park. He was very good to us, give us a good price on a 2020 Corolla hybrid. and if you are really buying car or not make sure you call, bring all papers they need otherwise you'll be there longer.
Eduardo, Thank you for posting about our amazing experience with Jim Park!

I had to leave a star in order to leave a review if not I would give no stars. Beware of this location. They tried to hustle you and trick you into signing contracts that are not reasonable I would not recommend anybody to come here to purchase a car. Before making any purchases or signing in a contracts make sure you do your research, pay attention to the fine print, and make sure you don't get tricked or pushed into signing anything that you are not comfortable with.

I want to let you guys know that this place has horrible service. The dealership screw me over with the car, and don't let me get started with other services. If you need to go to a toyota dealer go somewhere else, not to this one. I'm not being va troll I'm being honest so please don't buy a car here.

My experience with Larry and his crew at Carson Toyota was great, from the moment we got there Larry took me to see my Baby Toy and it was all I had expected it to be, the detailing crew did a great job to make her shine and I couldn't wait to get inside and drive. But I had to wait and do the paper work, and the paper work of course is going to take some time but well worth, Larry got to meet the FAMILY, and we got to laugh it up with Larry. Once the paper was done it was time to head on home, we drove 2 1/2 hours for the deal that made the Deal, I'm happy with my 2018 Toyota Corolla SE. Thank you Larry and the crew at Carson Toyota, Carson California.

Scam artists. Bad sales people. Bait and switch tactics. Unethical. I was ready to sign contract and purchase car but manager had another offer. Waste of time, apparently they don't like free money. Taking my business elsewhere.

This was overall just an okay experience. Scheduled Appt for 12 p.m. The service advisor that was helping me wasn’t the most personable. He might have been stressed or having an off day, but I wasn’t impressed by the service he gave. If your tone seems annoyed/irritated when speaking to customers, that’s only going to make the person your speaking to slightly annoyed with you. I had to ask him twice where I needed to go/do as he was walking around the car. He got to the window and I asked what I was supposed to do, as I didn’t catch what he said at first. I was told to leave the keys in the car and get out. Okay, that’s fine. His tone just seemed harsh again. I followed him to his office, signed the papers needed to approve the Oil Change, and he gave me directions to the lobby/waiting area. He also stated it would be a 1 hour & 30 minute wait, as he was understaffed. That’s understandable with how everything is right now to an extent. I still think that’s absurdly long, just to have the Oil Changed when you have an appointment. I asked about a car wash, but that couldn’t be done due to the understaffing. I also asked for the wiper fluid to actually be topped off. This didn’t happen, even though the service tech performed a multi-point inspection, and that’s part of “top all fluids off if low”. Well, it was low, hence why I asked. There wasn’t any paperwork saying/showing what was checked like other dealerships give out. I also messaged the service advisor, and asked that the tire pressure not be changed. The tires were properly inflated when I got to the dealership, and they were hot from driving. So adding or removing air, just messes up what was already correct. My service advisor called and told me my car was almost ready, but he wanted to let me know that my engine air filter was dirty and recommended it be replaced. I told him it’s fine, and that I wasn’t interested. He asked again if I was sure. Yes, I’m sure. He also told me about my rear tires needing to be replaced soon, and that he’d leave a quote on my paperwork. That was fine. The lobby was relatively clean & nice. They have a coffee/espresso/cappuccino/latte machine. I didn’t try it, but it looked slightly dirty from customers I assume spilling coffee. The Men’s bathroom was slightly dirty as well. Once I chose a seat to sit down in, I noticed how the sides and rear of the cushion looked as if they hadn’t been cleaned in awhile. There were crumbs, dust, and some other scraps. That was slightly bothersome. Overall, it was an okay experience. But, my main issue is with the way the service advisor was, and for also not responding to the question I had asked. There’s also the long wait. If I had the ability to drop the car off and leave I would’ve been fine with the hour and a half wait. But, when someone is waiting at the dealership that’s a decent amount of time out of their day. Everything else I can overlook, but when someone provides poor service, that’s a hard one to overlook.

Great Costumer service! excellent prices ! I chose the car i wanted online from their website, I called and asked a few questions and they took the time to send me more pictures and answer all my questions. When we arrived the car was already clean and ready to take home. The team was very respectful, friendly and took the proper precaution to keep the distance and had their mask on at all time. Thanks to the team who helped me: Finance: Michael Clemons Sales :Eddie Rodriguez Thanks 🙏🏻 for all excellent service.

I had to be there a half hour early just to wait in line for a half hour to be on time. Cars kept cutting infront of everyone in line. An hour for the service (you had over 50+ cars there) does an appointment even matter?! The hour wait was fine. I liked the text updates. No car wash though for 1 hour though? Every new car I've had with free service has had a car wash. Car was ready and while I stood next to it, no one acknowledged me standing there. I asked service people but they said someone would be with me. Cars were done and piling up behind me. Suddenly someone came and said it was good to go. I get in the car and NO KEYS! Now I am asking for help "someone will be with you, someone will be with you" people trying to leave were looking at me like "what's the problem?" I hand gestured "no keys" took 20 minutes to leave. Not happy
Austin, we are sorry to hear about the service confusion with your vehicle. We are not sure what took place that day that resulted in others getting in front of you. We aim to get our service customers in and out as quickly as possible with their appointments. Was the wash requested upon arrival when checking in? My contact information is below.

Please come to Carson Toyota with excitement and confidence in that you'll leave happy. I've had many experiences at dealerships, decent and very bad ones, but never THIS GOOD! It couldn't have possibly been any better. Despite having three closer Toyota dealers, I drove from 50+ minutes to go to this specific dealer and I have ZERO regrets. Thank you to the salesman, Jesse Q., for making my first NEW car the smoothest transaction possible. I was in and our of here in record time thanks to him and a fast and great finance manager. Good, honest, trustworthy staff. I'll happily drive all the way out to Carson Toyota again for the service and staff there alone. Such pleasant people to work with, so please come here if you hate the headaches of working with other dealers.

Service personnel were very nice and helpful. I liked this Toyota dealership service center much better than the previous center in another area.

Awesome buying experience! A special shout-out to Larry G. who made the process fast and easy. He was honest, patient, and knowledgeable. The guy at Finance whose name I don't remember, was also honest and very patient. He let me take as long as I needed, to read the contract, go over the numbers, and answer any questions I had. Thanks to both, my husband and I were able to buy a Rav4 TRD offroad at a great price. Overall I want to say Thank you to Carson Toyota for the TRANSPARENCY and HONESTY. We will be purchasing again from Carson Toyota in the near future.

Just bought a new RAV4 Prime here. I really enjoyed working w Jim Park. He was helpful, proactive, not pushy, and honest. Since these cars are in high demand, inventory is hard to find and they are going for well over MSRP. Jim followed up with me, shared when new vehicles would arrive, was up front about the cost, and helped me secure the car I wanted. Before I left he walked me through the car, showed me different features, etc. One of my best car buying experiences. Thanks!

I went in for scheduled maintenance and my advisor was Juan. After looking at my receipt no oil change was done. This is the most miles I have driven in between visits since purchasing my vehicle and no oil change done. All my previous visits had oil changes and this the first encounter with Juan. I did an extended Toyota Care last year and paid about $350 for another 2 years so that is going add up to 2 oil changes now for that price. If I did not extend the Toyota Care and was paying each visit with them will they still say no oil change needed? I got the extension for 2 oil changes a year not for 2 in 2 years. So after your 2 year complimentary Toyota Care best not to extend just go to a non dealership they will change your oil no questions asked. It will come out cheaper than the $350 extension and if the non dealership finds something mechanically wrong you can still go back to Toyota under the factory warranty. I don’t want to turn this into a book cause I could also mention the exchange we had when I asked about balancing my tires.

Carson Toyota's service department is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The waiting area is replete with comfy seating and computer work stations, so I was able to continue my workday comfortably. My car was serviced quickly and they brought it back to me freshly washed!

Larry was awesome! The entire experience from getting a very reasonable quote with all the details, through completing the purchase paperwork was fast, easy and very smooth. I have already referred several friends and family to Larry at Carson Toyota. They were several $1000s less than other dealers. No haggling or pressure selling. Very comfortable.
Thank you Mo for the 5 stars and great review! Thank you for your referrals we will be sure to pass on the message to Larry and his team.

I always get great customer service at Carson Toyota. And the service advisor Bryan always provides great customer service! He's very polite and explains everything to me thoroughly about my vehicle. I always feel confident that the work was done right and I have a peace of mind.

We made an appointment at 10am with Jessie. When we walked in a few minute early, we were greeted kindly by a woman at the reception desk. We sat down while she tried to contact jessie. He never showed up. This sounds like a terrible start to our experience but a few minutes after 10(our scheduled time) Larry met us and offered to show us the car we had been talking to Jessie about over the phone. Larry walked us out to the car and showed us everything and answered all of our questions. He was so kind, not pushy, and very very pleasant. He was patient with us and he was just really nice! Larry took us upstairs to connect us with Jessie (who was busy with someone else on a phone call).... i kept thinking we were going to get passed back to Jessie but it didn't happen. Larry kept helping us through the process until the end. He was amazing! And bonus points for being kind and patient with our 5 year old too! I imagine Jessie would have been great, but Larry was THE BEST!!! Then Larry took us to the next step in the process which was Financing! There we met Mike who realized that we (and our 5 year old) were ready to be done. He tried to get us through the process quickly but without cutting corners. He was friendly, kind, thorough and helpful! Mike and Larry have been at Carson Toyota for a long time (i think they said 18 yrs). I HIGHLY RECOMMED Carson Toyota because of these 2 wonderful guys! I was ready for an agonizing and frustrating car buying experience but this was not it. These guys were AMAZING!!! I love my new car and I cannot thank Larry and Mike enough! Request them, you won't be sorry. FYI both Larry and Mike were inclusive of my 5 year old, they were kind, they were patient and they were really nice to him. That earns each of them even more brownie points from me, because that is not always easy to do. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Carson Toyota! Thank you Larry and Mike, we so appreciate you!
Thank you Nikkie for sharing your experience, and for the 5 stars. We will be sure to pass on the message to Larry and Mike.

Service was terrible. Went in for recall service that would take 3-6 hours and asked if they could provide shuttle service prior to my appointment. I arrived and was told they only have one driver for shuttle service. The wait time for the driver I was given is 3 hours. I asked for additional drivers or uber service and they said no. I will not go back to Carson Toyota. Other Toyota dealer's and other non toyota dealers do not inconvenience the customer this way. I love my Toyota but will have to call coorporate to make sure other customers do not have to experience this bad service from Carson Toyota.

Bought my 2019 hybrid RAV4 here and just had my first Toyota Care 5000 mile appt. The service area was busy, but they have a good, organized system, and it was easy and quick to get in and out. They were also taking all the precautions with masks, gloves, social distancing, etc. The service advisor was friendly and attentive. Loving my new car :)
Thank you Allison for a great review! We will be sure to pass on the message to our service team. We here at Carson Toyota appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others.

Purchased my 2020 Tacoma TRD OFF/ROAD from Carson Toyota. I wanted to give a huge thanks to Larry for helping me with the buying process. Received a quote online for my truck and exchanged details and set up and appointment to come and test drive the truck. I was coming from San Diego, so about 2 hours away. When I got there I was welcomed but the Carson Toyota team right away. And met Larry and handled our business. Thank you Carson Toyota for making my first time purchase easy and quick!

I showed up on a Wednesday afternoon no appointment and I was able to not only have my vehicle serviced the same day but it only took about an hour to complete the 5000 mile vehicle service. Edward the service advisor assured me that they could have my vehicle completed in about an hour and I couldn't believe it but he was true to his word. Now that's the kind of service advisor that Toyota should be very proud of. This was an excellent experience and I would definitely refer Carson Toyota to my friends and family.

Not really pleased with my experience. When I called over the phone. I was told by one of the sales associate that I can bring a chasier check to pay off my lease vehicle. When I got there (which is a distance for me) one of the finance Associate's informated me that the information I was giving was incorrect. So now I have start all with the process. Which is frustrating.

The person who helped me ,Mauricio, did not treat me well. He pretty much tricked me into singing the papers. Beware of him his not there to help anyone and only wants your money. He would not explain or even break down the contract for you just says everything is the same. I will never be going back to this dealer ever to purchase anything else.

First time Toyota owner, so I didn't really know the process when coming in for Toyota maintenance. Elaine Bekgaard helped me from start to finish, making it a smooth transaction without any hassle. Came in without an appointment, spent about 10 minutes in the office with Elaine, and my car was ready for pick up about 2 hours later. Pretty quick process, most likely much faster if I actually had an appointment.
We're very happy that you're happy Anthony! Thank you very much for sharing about your wonderful experience :)

Sales department blatantly lied to my face telling me that all my monthly lease payments would go to the down payment cost of purchasing the vehicle if i decided to buy it at the end. After closer review of the contract, they failed to mention a rental / deprecation fee costing over $10,000 in extra fees. The vehicle that was valued at $42k through the Toyota website at the time (which they up charged to $49k) is now going to cost me over $60k. They also lied about the service being covered during the length of the lease (3 years) as it was only covered for the first 2. If there are extra fees i could deal with that, but they straight up lied to my face and told me otherwise. They are the very definition of deceitful, untrustworthy, that will say whatever is necessary to pressure you into a quick sale.

Today I walked In the dealership a really nice gentleman (Juan Giron , also known as JJ or Giron ) approached my mother and I at the dealership asked if we needed help. Told him we had an appointment with this other salesmen named Greg , so he directed us where to go unfortunately my mother and I were not satisfied with Greg . So then we asked (Giron). Giron was with other customers but he left them to attend us. He was really kind and and helpful .He even pushed my mom around in her wheel chair. We test drove around the (Camary XSE)and Rav4 but my mom and I fell in love with the Camary. It came to the point of running numbers and( MO)came in the picture, and also the main boss Abraham great customer service and really kinda. I highly recommend them all. Unfortunately I didn't buy the car.Hopefully in the future I will go back!

My service agent could not handle that I was upset that I had to wait 20 minutes for my appointment. He decided to walk away and told me that somebody else would help me. If I hadn't gone to find the manager I might have been standing there for an additional 20 minutes. for somebody that bought my car here and continues to service it here I was very disappointed in the service that I received.

Gary D. was great and very helpful on getting us an amazing deal on our brand new Toyota Highlander XLE, I highly recommend asking and looking for him whenever you plan on getting or trading to get a new car

Email communication was succinct with nearly instant responses. Straightforward, no haggling. Made appointment to show up in person and vehicle was ready, I was shown and explained all features including a test drive (I had already test driven the model previously before deciding what to target for purchase), and was asked for approval before executing paperwork. Paperwork pricing and information was EXACTLY what was discussed via email, no upsell, no haggling. The only surprise was that they were so nice and had integrity. My car was washed and fueled up. Super fast in-person experience, overall superb dealership with my purchase! THANK YOU CARSON TOYOTA, especially the Internet Sales Team!

The experience was seamless. Every aspect of this transaction was promptly handled. I didn't have to wait for anything, someone was there to meet my every need even though I showed up at approximately 3:45 pm without an appointment. My Service Advisor, Mr. Eric Enriquez was very polite, very knowledgeable and has excellent human relations skills. There's a program in place to meet your needs, for example I needed to delay getting a major repair done. Mr. Enriquez introduced me to a program which allowed me to get it done now and provided a beautiful, brand new Highlander Rental, free of charge. Of course there were requirements to be met for financial assistance and the rental. I was able to obtain them all. Everything was delivered as promised. I highly recommend Carson Toyota and Mr. Eric Enriquez. I'm a Happy Camper. The car broke down 3 days later, fluid ran out of the car and it was making a crazy noise. It was a bit of a hassle to contact someone and the staff wasn't too friendly, it was if I was the plague. I didn't feel welcome or appreciated at the end.
Jacqueline, Thank you for the amazing post! We'll make sure to share with our entire service department. Happy New Year :)

Bought my car here and had the best experience. I was worried about the service department because it always looks busy but my service rep got me in and out within 45 min. That makes me super happy and my car is doing great! Plenty of tvs and snacks for those long waits. They also have a small store you can shop and it even has ice cream! Ice cream makes for better waits!!
Thank you for reviewing us Deana... Have a great day!

Stopped by and was assisted by Byron. He was quick to get us to test drive a car, but was very pushy about having an application filled out no matter how many times we explained that we were just comparing dealerships. He kept saying they had specials, but only told us of 1 special. Once we made it clear we weren't filling out an app and just wanted an estimated quote he said we could call him when we were ready to put in the app, gave us his card and walked off. He was pushy and rude and we will go to another Toyota dealership.

The CPO program is a joke. All they did was an oil change, after buying it off enterprise rental. Found out enterprise cheated as well. The front windshield was replaced (botched since theres rust inside the frame). Constant noise coming from from of car. Turns out the bottom panel wasnt tighten. What inspection, what a joke. The abuses from enterprise were not repaired at all, not the visible ones nor the hidden ones. Just found Enterprise botched the hood and roof paint job. The clear coat is coming off. All the carfax report showed was a oil change after Carson Toyota got it from Enterprise. None of the botched repairs was on it. The engine block had a botched repair as well. slowly leaking oil. Both Carson of Toyota and Enterprise should be ashamed of themselves.
We're sorry for your disappointment, James. We appreciate you reaching out to share this review and we’ve passed this feedback along to our teams. Be well.

Worked with Jim Park, the fleet manager. He and I agreed on a number. I drove there. Test drove the car around the block. Signed papers. Done. One of the easiest experiences in buying a car. Also, did I happen to mention he had the best pricing? I can't speak for the other Toyotas.
James, thank you so much for reviewing us and recognizing Jim Park! All the best :)

Carson Toyota offered the best price for our new Prime. They were $1000 below other dealers. Jesse was an excellent salesman, and made the purchase easy. Only issue was the long wait to work with the business office.
Thank you Paul for the great review and.. we'll work on shortening the wait time for Finance. Have a great day!

I have to admit that it was a pleasure to buy a new Camry from Carson Toyota. Luis and Dianne helped in offering a great deal, and then Luis went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfect in completing the deal. He stayed in constant contact and was very quick to answer our many questions. Total time to actually buy the car once at the dealership was about an hour and a half and we left very happy customers. We will be sure to pass along our great experience to others looking for a great deal and a smooth no-pressure buying experience. A special thanks again to Luis for all his help.

My husband and I felt we had a better than ever expected experience at Carson:). Our experience started with email/text exchanges discussing what was available. I quickly got the sense that the sales rep was reasonable, caring, and not pushy. When we arrived, the staff was professional and kind, the arrangements for purchase were straightforward, with the data on the computer always visible to us (no surprises); when we needed privacy to discuss a matter re the purchase, Jesse, our sales rep took the initiative to step out of the room to give us privacy. Everything was explained very well from Jesse’s office. Then the trip to the Finance Office (previously a place where the surprises showed up), Oscar treated us equally well, with transparency, friendliness, never pushy but always giving us privacy to discuss our decisions re the the warranties. The car is beautiful. We feel we got way more car than expected for the price! Carson is a winner! Thank you especially to Jesse and Oscar!

Walter was ABSOLUTELY wonderful! He was friendly, straight-forward, and an absolute pleasure to do business with. Walter spent a great deal of time explaining all of the amazing features that my Toyota Highlander has. He synced my phone, set up the navigation and showed me exactly how it all operates. I did not feel rushed. My overall car purchasing experience was great because of him! When the time comes to purchase another vehicle, I will definitely be doing business with Walter again! Thank you for your patience and above and beyond customer service! ~Fany Abrego A Happy Toyota Highlander Owner
We're humbled by your words Fany! Thank you :)
