Wow! What a pleasure to do business with Simi Valley Toyota!

I had done my research ad nauseum, test drove almost every model of SUV with three rows at least once and sometimes more (just to make sure...) After all my research was done, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid came out on top, and I dug deep to decide on the features I wanted (yep - I like creature comforts coupled with great gas mileage and decided on the Platinum Limited), the price I was willing to pay, and made ready to buy. I called every dealership that had the vehicle with the specs I wanted and gave them every opportunity to earn my business.

One dealership was spot on - except the color. I guess the other dealerships thought I wasn't serious, so when I shared this information with them, they told me they couldn't match the deal.

OK...

I was just about to acquiesce and except the compromise color, when I did some more sleuthing and found Simi Valley Toyota with MY CAR! I called just before 9 PM on Friday evening and spoke with Matt. When I shared the deal I had brokered and the proof, he asked to call me back in a few minutes. I was startled when just a couple of minutes later he called me back and met the deal.

The next day, I showed up at the dealership (it was a trek - more than 40 miles from my work), introduced myself, and was put in the capable hands of Doug. I test drove the car, decided it was indeed MY CAR, and we sat down to the business at hand. A few hours later, with the additional help of Marlon who worked on getting me the price I wanted for my trade in and Ricardo who prepared the reams of paperwork for me to sign, I was driving home in MY CAR - no haggling, no slight-of-hand, and a better deal than when I walked in.

If you are in the market and are considering Toyota, really, you need look no further than Simi Valley Toyota. From the moment I walked in to the moment I drove off, no twinge of regret. I actually liked giving them my money (and I don't say that often.) They are great people who provide great service and a dealership with great selection. Simi Valley Toyota is well worth the drive and your consideration.
