Keyes Lexus

Everyone was very friendly. They really wanted to work with us on the price and were trying really hard to get us what we needed. Dave Borgyan (sp?) was a fantastic help. Great guy! He seriously deserves with us on the price and were trying really hard to get us what we needed. Dave Borgyan (sp?) was a fantastic help. Great guy! He seriously deserves a huge raise. Seriously.

Frustrating.... I had a great 99' Lexus, it was good on gas, four seats to fit comfortable, and the power I enjoyed. However it was over ten years old, it was time to get things figured out so I could get gas, four seats to fit comfortable, and the power I enjoyed. However it was over ten years old, it was time to get things figured out so I could get another vehicle with warranty. I decided to spend my easter sunday looking at cars at a few local dealers to see what I wanted and get an idea of a price range. I spent a good 3 hours going lot to lot. I found 3 cars all at different dealers but close to each other. So I decided today I would go ahead and test drive all three and decide from there which one would be best and by the end of the week go buy the one I chose for me. Went to the first dealer, they said they had to run my credit, BS BS BS. I felt pressured to HAVE to purchase I left. Went to Miller Honda in Van Nuys, nice people but I was not to thrilled with the way it drove. Went to the last dealer which was Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys, the dealership was very nice, and WELL staffed. The staff that I was put with was great, they let me drive the 2009 Lexus ...

The staff that I was put with was great, they let me drive the 2009 Lexus that I saw yesterday with out pushing me to do anything I was not to sure about. I was very please with all the accommodations it had and of course the color was elegant. I left and knew that I really wanted that specific car, I went home told my husband all about it and that was that. I just got home and am a happy owner of a new 2009 Lexus from Keyes Lexus Thanks for everything More

Attempted to obtain an internet quote, but was told our price was "way too low." We didn't even get a counter-offer or any attempt to really work with us on the price. We also requested the specs of the price was "way too low." We didn't even get a counter-offer or any attempt to really work with us on the price. We also requested the specs of the car they had in stock twice, and never got it. It felt like they weren't interested in our business, so we went elsewhere and got the car we wanted for the price we wanted. We would not recommend this dealership. More

I went to dealership to purchase a used car and after a credit check, I was told I needed a co-signer or a minimum of $15,000 down payment in order to finance the loan. I feel the dealership should have ha credit check, I was told I needed a co-signer or a minimum of $15,000 down payment in order to finance the loan. I feel the dealership should have had provided me with other financial options. I have been a Lexus customer for seven year and this purchase would have been my third Lexus. You would think I would have earned the preferred customer status. More

About a year ago, Lexus announced their new CT 200h hybrid hatchback would be coming out the following year. I did my research then and became obsessed with the car. I had recently totaled my first Lex hybrid hatchback would be coming out the following year. I did my research then and became obsessed with the car. I had recently totaled my first Lexus, a 2007 Lexus RX350, which saved my life, so I figured I'd go with Lexus again. I did my research and finalized my pricing decisions. As time went on, it looked like Lexus was not going to supply the US with many of these CT 200h's; most were slated for the European markets. That, coupled with rising gas prices anticipated this summer, along with the tragic disaster that struck Japan, many dealerships were not only not willing to sell below MSRP, but were also starting to mark up their cars. I spoke with Sam Santoso, Internet manager, over email on several occasions. He told me he would beat any best offer I received from other dealerships. Keyes Lexus, which is literally a 5 minute walk from my house, was one of many dealerships I actually stepped into to make a deal. I had my numbers ready and was ready to deal. They didn't have the car I wanted exactly, so I moved up and decided to get the fully loaded one they had on their lot. I believe I went in on Tuesday, 3/15/11. Sam, the internet manager was leaving, so he said hi to me and passed me onto a sales associate. The sales associate was young and probably new, but we connected because of our age. Unfortunately, when it came time to deal, the sales associate had to pass us onto a more experienced sales manager, who played games and refused to sell us the car at below MSRP, which the internet manager had me believe we could make a deal. This was after weeks of dealing with several dealerships in the area. I was getting frustrated and fed up with the whole game. I would either get this car at the end of the month, or wait until the 2012 one came out so I could get a used one. The problem with Keyes Lexus is multifold. They foist a bunch of dealer-added accessory onto all their cars, and they don't give you the option of removing such add ons. Keyes Lexus is known to chrome ALL wheels of their new cars in stock. In fact, this is such a widespread problem that when other dealerships want to trade stock, the have to exchange the wheels as well, since Keyes does not stock unchromed factory wheels. Additionally, the sales managers seem to like to play games and do the whole runaround the customer. I was on the defensive the entire time I was in the dealership, which is unfortunate. Whether you've done your research or not, the sales managers will always find a way to make you feel inferior and will actually get so offended when you offer a starting price that is below MSRP. They need to understand that for an entry-level car like the CT 200h, they shouldn't be expecting major profits as they normally would with their higher-end models. I ended up walking out feeling frustrated, disappointed, and insulted. On Friday, 3/18, Larry Ellis of Vista Lexus in Woodland Hills got in contact with me to see how I was doing. I offered my price, but it was too low. However, the one thing Larry did right was to actually negotiate with me until we could both find a number that we would both be happy with. There was also a $1000 Lexus Loyalty Rebate that Larry was able to dig up and qualify me for, which none of the dealerships I talked to even mentioned. In the end, Larry was able to get me the car I wanted for $1500 off MSRP, fully loaded except for PCS/radar cruise control. The whole deal took 1 hour, which consisted of me filling out paperwork. Larry and I made a verbal contract over the phone prior to this and he stood by his word and did not try to pull any fast tricks on me when I actually arrived to his dealership a few minutes late due to LA traffic. The icing on the cake was, Keyes Lexus tried calling me 6 times while I was filling out paperwork. When I was in the office w/ Roger, who is excellent, btw, I finally picked up my phone and Sam, the internet sales manager who passed me off at Keyes Lexus asked me if I wanted to come in to deal. I happily told him I was at Vista Lexus filling out the paperwork for my new CT 200h and that he was too late. It's a shame Keyes Lexus has to resort to such low handed sales tactics in order to make a sale. I can't imagine how they'll treat me once I'm their actual customer. Matt More

Worst dealer in the valley, hands down. Looking to buy my first new Lexus, they gave me the worst sales tactics and sales pitch. As a first time buyer I thought I was being punked by Aston Kutcher. These my first new Lexus, they gave me the worst sales tactics and sales pitch. As a first time buyer I thought I was being punked by Aston Kutcher. These sales rep were rude and each time they brought up another HIGHER ranking manager, it got worst. I do not get how they manage to sell cars when they treat their customers with disrespect. These guys are horrible and I would not waste my time going over to KEYES LEXUS in Van Nuys. More

Consistently one of the worst Lexus dealers around. I have attempted to buy a Lexus here as I've bought 2 in the last 6 years. I've also gone with friends who are buying Lexus vehicles as Keyes is near have attempted to buy a Lexus here as I've bought 2 in the last 6 years. I've also gone with friends who are buying Lexus vehicles as Keyes is near my home. Each and every time they never fail to consistently treat customers rudely with horrible sales tactics. One - they run credit even before they allow you to see or test drive a car. No other Lexus Dealer (or Mercedes or Acura dealer) runs credit when you ask to see a car. Secondly, they use delay tactics and hold your driver's license to keep you in the dealership waiting forever in their offices while "they look for your license to return it to you." Finally, they use the hard-sell techniques of constantly sending in a higher "manager" to offer you a better deal three times over. Why Lexus doesn't cut these guys out of the network is beyond me. It's also stupid of me to have gone back over the years. I should've learned the first time that they are run by a franchise owner with no understanding of customer service. I'm sure Hyundai in 2011 will treat their customers better than Keyes Lexus. More

One would think that they were purchasing an inexpensive car from this dealership. They double and tripled teamed you. They wanted to run a credit check before giving a quote and keep up undue pressure to car from this dealership. They double and tripled teamed you. They wanted to run a credit check before giving a quote and keep up undue pressure to make the deal. The price started way too high and they kept lowering it. They asked irrelevant questions like what monthly payment was I paying on a previous car that was leased. They talked down to potential customers and completly turned me off from purchasing a car at this dealership. More

I can say that I am old enough to know a good sales team that works together and one that does not. I was in the market for a new Lexus as mine is 10 years old and was from a Florida Lexus dealer. So needle that works together and one that does not. I was in the market for a new Lexus as mine is 10 years old and was from a Florida Lexus dealer. So needless to say it has been across the United States quite a few times. I started pondering around the internet and I found a cute slightly used Lexus, I was not too crazy about the color it is a dark blue and my preference is white or gold. Other than that it had all the gadgets I could want, and very low miles. I called the number on the bottom and tried to explain to them the car. It was not there any longer however the person on the phone was very polite and told me about a couple of Lexus they had on their lot. Set up a time for me to come down meet with a sales man and look at the cars we talked about. So I came into the Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys and met the salesman that sold me my new 2009 Lexus. The process went easy the first car I saw and test drove was the one I own now. They gave me great trade in value, and on the new Lexus they gave me a 1000 off the warranty. I can say that my internet pondering sure did payoff and made me enjoy purchasing a car again. Thanks Sam and Justin More
