Dealers in Southern California

Anyone have recommendations for any dealers in SoCal? I've recently been trying to trade in my 2015 platinum, looking for a 2018 quicksand limited fully loaded with a few aftermarket stuff added. I've been to Toyota Escondido, and after about 3 weeks, still haven't been able to get any pricing or trade in value, and their aftermarket company TE motorsports are significantly overpriced. Thanks for any recommendations.

 

Longo!
I do all my buisness there. Looks like your in SD, might be a drive for you.

 

Thanks. Actually not too far, I live in Murrieta. I'll give them a try.

 

Definitely Longo. No hesitation!

 

Toyota Temecula is excellent as far as warranty service goes. Just dont pay for service; they're expensive. Go to Eastman Toyota Lexus (independent); I use them for repairs and fluid changes.

Moreno Valley Toyota parts department will match TRD Sparks prices so I use them to buy all my parts.

As for sales, Temecula is polite, but their selection is limited and they don't go out of their way to get you what you want. I bought a standard Corolla S in 2016 and their prices were in line with everyone else. In 2014 I bought a used Corolla from them and I got them from $12k down to $7k cash

When I was looking for non-standard cars, Carlsbad always came out on top. I wanted a black regular cab 4x4 tundra in 2013 and Carlsbad ordered me one with no hassle, just a $500 deposit. When it arrived I changed my mind and no questions asked they put me in a black double cab rock warrior for $36k. I also ended up buying a STi and outback from Carlsbad Subaru in 2012 because I wanted matching white cars and they were able to produce.

Sorry, long post lol but my point is to shop Carlsbad if you want something particular.

 

I’ve had great luck with Rogers and Rogers in El Centro. Bought a Camry and my truck there. Super easy to deal with. Call and ask for the guy that does the Costco program. No BS back and forth with sales guys. The price is what it is.
Then, you’re already halfway to the river, come cool off.

 

I have bought several cars from Longo Toyota, excellent dealership. I bought my latest Tundra at AutoNation in Irvine, they were so easy to deal with and are huge! Either one you cant go wrong. I would try Irvine first though if it were me. Good luck.

 

Elmore Toyota in OC, They offer Lifetime Limited Warranty on the Powertrain. Read the section Frequently Asked Questions

Toyota of Orange has a huge selection and found them to be straight and to the point.

 

I had good luck dealing with Cabe Toyota in Long Beach for my supercharger installation. Would not hesitate to buy a vehicle from them.
