Hamer Came Through Big Time! Everyone at Hamer (Ruben, Reno, and Matt) made my buying experience as pleasurable as you could hope for from a dealership. They didn't play any games Everyone at Hamer (Ruben, Reno, and Matt) made my buying experience as pleasurable as you could hope for from a dealership. They didn't play any games and were straightforward from the outset. When I walked in the door Ruben from internet sales was immediately available to get things started. Reno the salesman genuinely worked with me to make sure I was happy with the deal I got on my 2017 Tundra. Finally, Matt in finance brought the deal home and made sure he did what he could to include some benefits while staying within the parameters of the deal. I'd wouldn't think twice about going back to Hamer for another Toyota. This dealership has quality people there taking care of their customers! More

Unethical, sleazy practice SHADY, SHADY DEALING. Dave told me straight to my face "I know you have outside financing but sign this form, put down your SSN. We won't actually run SHADY, SHADY DEALING. Dave told me straight to my face "I know you have outside financing but sign this form, put down your SSN. We won't actually run the credit check but it's just for reference." Me being a naive, first time car buyer did as told thinking "This guy can't actually be lying to my face, can he?" Yes, he was. I checked my credit report a month later, and lo and behold, "Hamer Toyota" shows up as a hard credit pull and my score is dinged. For reference, this is what a former car salesman told me about the practice of forcing customers (even with outside financing, like I did) to fill in credit application forms: "This is the exact experience you will get at every major dealer in California at the least. They will run your credit if you fill out that form and they will not sell you a car without you filling it out. You could bring in cash and they would make you fill it out. Not joking. I sold cars briefly and a guy wanted to buy a Corvette in cash and he spent 3 hrs arguing why he shouldn't have to fill out a credit app. The reason they do this is not for the reason they say. They will tell you it has something to do with the Patriot Act. While they do have to fill out something for the PA it is not the reason. But that usually gets most people to fold. The dealerships get nice kickbacks from financial institutes this is also how the finance guy gets paid. Even though you have financing or cash they will run your credit and try to get you to finance the car. They have also been none to open the account and instantly pay it off with the funds you provide. Thus giving them the kickback but unless you watch your credit you would not be any wiser. If you fill it out they will run your credit even if they tell you they won't." STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. If they're pulling shady, unethical business practices like this, be assured they won't be shy about throwing ethics out the window in any other step of the process. If you want to see more about my experience at this dealership, look for the 1 star review on Yelp that has several updates. I talk a lot more there about why Dave was a terrible salesman and rude to boot. More

Dave Gilman provided our family with an orientation of the facility and showed us the newest hybrids. Our daughter was interested in a green vehicle. Then he introduced us to Steve Denson, who listened to our daughter's wishes in a car, provided us with several vehicle summaries, checked her credit and worked with her budget as a new college graduate. She drove off with a new Prius. More
