No Integrity Had an interesting experience here. So I had my car appraised for trade in at $19,825.00, after Greg Caughey went out and saw the vehicle he sent his Had an interesting experience here. So I had my car appraised for trade in at $19,825.00, after Greg Caughey went out and saw the vehicle he sent his messenger back and say because there is sprinkler water stains on the car I can only offer you $16,000.00 now so I said wait so almost $4,000.00 deduction for sprinkler stains, I brushed it off and told him I will take it now next door and have it clay and acid watched which removes every blemish and will cost me about 100$ bucks, he was caught like a deer in the headlights and said no I still can’t. I’ve escalated this up through Toyota, I’m huge on Integrity and it’s people like this that give sales managers a bad name. More

Great Car Buying Experience We just bought a new Toyota Highlander and the experience was great! Highly recommend sales rep Thomas Parr. Thomas was great to work with, personable We just bought a new Toyota Highlander and the experience was great! Highly recommend sales rep Thomas Parr. Thomas was great to work with, personable, honest and gave us a very fair price. When the car arrived Julio Mata took over and was very patient explaining all of the features and ensuring all of our questions were answered. Thomas an Julio were great and I highly recommend asking for them! More

A Culture of Dishonesty-Stay Far Away From These Crooks I want to make it very clear that I am not reacting irrationally and I have given Escondido Toyota every opportunity to make my experience right over I want to make it very clear that I am not reacting irrationally and I have given Escondido Toyota every opportunity to make my experience right over several weeks. I think it's important to let other consumers know what is going on at this dealership. At best, they are dishonest. And at worst, they are trained and directed to steal from their customers. To make a very long story short, I was tasked with helping one of my employees purchase a new 2017 4runner. She has excellent income, good credit and had up to 15k cash down payment. This should have been the easiest deal this sales team had ever come across. Instead, they attempted to absolutely rob this girl blind. Lorenzo, who is the assistant sales manager can only be described as a total xxxxxxx. It's guys like him that give care salesmen bad names. He qouted this girl almost a $900 monthly payment on a 35k loan. When I asked him to break down the costs for me, he refused. I asked him for the rate? He refused. I asked him for the amount financed. He refused. In short, he couldn't describe to me why the payment was so high because he simply didn't want to. This dealership is totally predatory. They feed on people who have no knowledge of math or who will not question them on their shady numbers. Eventually, after refusing to actually answer my questions, outside of their scripted 3 lines they are taught to say to defuse a customers questions, he simply walked out of the room and said he was done. I was shocked to see such a large dealership for such a large manufacturer act in this manner. In other words, if they couldn't rip me off, they'd rather just not sell me a car. I spoke to the GM, and while he seemed like he was going to be helpful, he didn't really put in the effort to help me or fix the situation. The problem with this dealership is the culture they are breeding there. It runs all the way down from the owner/GM to the sales managers, to the finance managers down to the sales people. Lorenzo in particular is a total xxxxxxx, who wouldn't even look me in the eye because he was lying to blatantly. We decided to go to Carlsbad Toyota and she was driving her new 4runner within an hour or two. Carlsbad did not have the car she wanted but they were able to get one from a nearby dealer within about an hour. I'd like to show you the details and differences of the two deals below: Escondido: Trade in value: $1500 Payment: $859.00 per month Amount Financed: Who knows Rate: never could find out, but my calculator was spitting out about 20% Time taken: about 7 hours in 3 trips Carlsbad: Trade in Value: $2700 Payment: $500.35 Amount Financed:$30,265 Rate: 5.90 Time: about 2 hours Summary: Anyone who buys a car from this dealership should have their head examined. They are crooks. They are breeding a culture of dishonesty that runs so deep, they would need to clean out their entire sales and management staff and wait a few years before they can clean off the stink that is attached to them. This group of misfits have no business representing a fins company like Toyota, one in which my father in law worked for almost 20 years. It's obvious that management reads these reviews but has absolutely no plans on changing the culture there. Hey Lorenzo, I'm sure I'll see you at some Job Fair soon because with an attitude like yours, not only will you soon be unemployed, but your chances of success in ANY industry are nill. Thank you Carlsbad Toyota for treating my employee with the respect and dignity she deserves. Not only will I never recommend this Escondido dealership to anyone I know, I will go out of my way to make sure nobody I know every buys a car or gets service from this wasteland. More

I lo I just bought my 3rd car from Juan. I talked to Juan in the afternoon about my lease being up. By that evening I drove away in my new 2017 Prius! I love it!

Horrible service I would give Hector zero stars if I could, he is super rude and unprofessional. Super shady when I confronted him with an issue. He had no reasons to I would give Hector zero stars if I could, he is super rude and unprofessional. Super shady when I confronted him with an issue. He had no reasons to as why it took them a month to get me financed and still can't get the job done. They want me to pay on the car I traded in which they've had for a month which has accrued late fees now because they refuse to pay it along with the truck I am trying to finance. Horrible. More
