Our founder Lee Hamer started this company on April 19, 1939 as an automobile general service and repair station on the corner of Sepulveda and San Fernando Mission Boulevards in Mission Hills. With your help and continued patronage Hamer Toyota has continued to grow into the state of the art Automotive Dealership we know today!
Mr. Hamer has won many awards for his charitable contributions to the community as well as for his impeccable reputation for honesty, integrity, and fairness. Lee was very active in the San Fernando Valley including the development of youth, sports and welfare projects that have greatly benefited our community. He was an active community leader in the Mission Hills Chamber of Commerce, served two terms as President of Los Angeles Fire Commission in the 60s and was a founding member of Holy Cross Medical Center Century Club. Lee was the recipient of the Fernando Award in 1989. The most prestigious award that can be earned, for philanthropic and charitable works.
Over the years he has been an automotive dealer for Hudson, Studebaker, Mercedes, Citroen, Volvo, MG, Triumph, Fiat, Renault, Borgward and Datsun. In July of 1965 we became an Exclusively Toyota Dealership. Mr. Hamer sold an average of about 10 cars a month back then. Today the Dealership average is closer to 500 cars a month and we are among the top 3% of Toyota Dealers in the nation.
Lee Hamer passed away November 15, 1995.
Today we continue in the tradition started by Lee Hamer; offering friendly, honest, customer service and prices that almost make you feel like you're back in the "old days." We are committed to your satisfaction and a lifetime relationship dedicated to your automotive needs. Our goal is to be recognized by our customers as one of the most respected and successful dealerships in Southern California.

I bought a new Toyota and the finance guy insisted I write a separate check for $400 and he deducted the $400 off the total price. Weird by I did that. A week later I receive a call saying I did NOT pay write a separate check for $400 and he deducted the $400 off the total price. Weird by I did that. A week later I receive a call saying I did NOT pay the $400. I check my bank account and that check did not clear (nor did it bounce - it is not acknowledged anywhere by my bank) so I put a stop payment on the check, go out of my way to go back to Hamer Toyota and this time I put the $400 on my debit card so there is no more "lost check". Now, one more week after this, I receive a letter in my mail saying I still owe the $400 and now they will attach a $1500 penalty on top of the $400 plus some extra fees. I flip out and write a letter to Toyota Corporate, who in turn calls me immediately informing me they will take action. Today this idiot Fred King at Hamer Toyota emails me saying he did not check the payment records before mailing me the threatening letter demanding nearly $2000. I will NEVER buy a car at Hamer Toyota again. They are completely incompetent. More

I bought my 2007 Camry from this dealer and have been servicing it there since then. Why? Not because they're cheaper than everyone else (they're not) but because of our service adviser, Sam Quintanilla. servicing it there since then. Why? Not because they're cheaper than everyone else (they're not) but because of our service adviser, Sam Quintanilla. He is great! Trustworthy, polite, and he doesn't rip us off by suggesting services that don't need to be done. In fact, he saved us money by having us report our defective moon roof to Toyota, who sent us a check for half of the repairs we needed to make to it (it's not named as a defect, but the roof was not properly installed). Sam's great, he's the reason why we get our car serviced there. More
