Derrick made my purchase experience easy and hassle free. I basically did everything on the phone and just went in to sign all my documents. I also sent my daughter to buy from Derrick and I’m going to send more friends and family. I also purchased accessories for my new 4 Runner. I’m happy with the service. Will keep coming back! Thank you! More

This might have been the easiest car buying process I've ever had. I met with Derrick after a brief conversation on the phone. I knew the exact car I wanted, obtained a pre-approval from Capital One, and fi ever had. I met with Derrick after a brief conversation on the phone. I knew the exact car I wanted, obtained a pre-approval from Capital One, and filled out all my paperwork online prior to arrival. Derrick was extremely professional, he had all my paperwork printed up and on his desk. He worked hard to get me the payment I wanted and didn't waste any time. In less than an hour I was sent to the finance department to sign everything - which was also a flawless process. I was in and out in less than 2 hours... Good job Claremont Toyota! More

He has a lot of experience and he He is cool, honest, and easygoing. I recommend him! He got me a great deal on my Camry Hybrid SE and wasn’t pushy. He has a lot of experience and he knows his stuff. Right from the initial phone call, I can tell I liked him. He is genuine and a family man. On a side note, Derrick served in the Marine Corps and is a Veteran of the Iraq War in the 90s. If I can give my business to a Veteran, I’ll be happy to. More
