Beyond Just a Car Purchase – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience at Novato Toyota!
Whether it’s your first, second, or tenth Toyota, if you’re looking to buy a Toyota vehicle — you can blindfoldedly trust Novato Toyota and especially the amazing team of Laith and Thomas Philavong. This review comes straight from the heart of a family that just bought its very first car in the U.S. after living here for nearly 15 years — a stunning 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Platinum Max.
This wasn’t just another car buying experience. We had never heard of Novato Toyota before this, but Laith’s communication, honesty, and efforts made us trust him instantly. He went above and beyond to find one of the most in-demand Toyota models for us earlier than any dealership in the Bay Area. And we were so confident in him, we drove nearly 100 miles from our home — that’s 200 miles round trip — just to buy the car from them. That says a lot.
We were exhausted — my wife, our 7-year-old daughter, and I — but even with the long drive and a full day of paperwork, it all felt 100% worth it. Our daughter, who usually dislikes long car trips and waiting, was genuinely happy — and as parents, when you see even your child feel the joy, you know you made the right decision.
Thomas, the manager, treated us like family — literally like an elder brother, with heartfelt blessings and support throughout. When a Toyota policy got in the way of what would have made us happiest, both Laith and Thomas worked extremely hard to find a way to make it happen — and they did. We left the dealership not just with a car, but with the joy of our lives, knowing we were taken care of by people who truly put customer happiness before everything else.
Toyota should be incredibly proud of having professionals like Laith and Thomas representing them — not just selling cars, but creating stories, building trust, and making dreams come true.
Thank you, Laith and Thomas, and thank you Novato Toyota for giving us an experience we’ll always treasure. If you’re thinking about buying a Toyota — this is the place, these are the people.
