For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to own a Prius. When it finally came time for me to trade in my old car, I did what anyone would do: Asked friends and family for advice and dealer referrals, Prius. When it finally came time for me to trade in my old car, I did what anyone would do: Asked friends and family for advice and dealer referrals, and sought out online reviews to help me find the perfect place to purchase my Prius. Those two things led me to Evan Morikawa and Cabe Toyota in Long Beach. A friend had just purchased a Prius from Evan, and he assured me that Evan was a straight shooter who would make shopping for a new car easy. The online reviews said the same thing: If you want a hassle-free, fast and painless car buying experience, shop with Evan at Cabe. After emailing back and forth with several dealers just to suss out my options, I ultimately went with Evan, even though his quote was slightly higher than several other offers I received (he evened out the difference by offering me a free extra year of Toyota Care, which I was very grateful for) . Evan was kind and straight forward. He could tell I was overwhelmed with options and offers, and instead of using that to his advantage to push me into making a hasty decision, he was patient and worked with me to make sure I got the best deal possible for the car I wanted. He didn't jerk me around or pressure me. His numbers always made sense, while several others seemed like "too good to be true" xxxxxxdesigned to get me into the showroom and then slam me with additional fees. It felt like Evan and I we were on the same team. I really appreciated that. When I went in to Cabe to purchase my Prius, I was equally impressed by the whole team. They gave me a great deal on my trade in, and the person who helped me with my financing, Jason Kim, was particularly kind. He explained everything to me thoroughly and answered all of my questions patiently, and I trusted him to help me make the best decisions on financing and extended warranties. I can't speak highly enough of Cabe Toyota. My experience there was honestly delightful, and I would heartily and without hesitation recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a Toyota. More

We contacted Evan Morikawa and Oni Johnson about 6 months ago regarding a Tundra they had on the lot. They were always very professional and answered all of questions quickly and honestly. We took a while to ago regarding a Tundra they had on the lot. They were always very professional and answered all of questions quickly and honestly. We took a while to make our minds up on exactly what we wanted and they were always very patient with us - never pushing us into a deal. We must have exchanged over a 150 emails/text messages over then span of 5 months and they never made us feel like we were bothering them. They also gave us a great price via email and stuck to it. On the day we went to pick up our truck we had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners - Dan Duddridge. He helped in making the deal easier and smoother for us and we really appreciated everything he did in making the deal come together. We live about a 130 miles away from this dealership, but it was definitely worth the drive to have the quality of service they offer. They are a family run Toyota Business that CARES and you could definitely feel and see it. Thank you again for everything Dan, Evan, Oni and Jason (finance guy)!! We love our new Tundra! More

What can I say. My experience with Cabe Toyota was awesome! I shopped around a lot before finding them. I had visited 5 other Toyota dealerships, 1 Ford, 1 Dodge, 1 Chevy, and 1 Nissan durring my tr awesome! I shopped around a lot before finding them. I had visited 5 other Toyota dealerships, 1 Ford, 1 Dodge, 1 Chevy, and 1 Nissan durring my truck search. Cabe Toyota and Evan was the easist to work with out of any of them. I was so tired of how I was being treated by the other dealerships that I had almost resolved to just keep driving my Jeep for a few more years. But then I found Evan at Cabe Toyota and now I have a truck that I couldn't be happier with. I highly reccomend them to anyone looking for a new vehicle!!! More

I knew CABE Toyota was the best dealership based on Yelp reviews, but for the lowest price I sent out five requests to five local dealers. Only two dealerships got back to me immediately with an out the do reviews, but for the lowest price I sent out five requests to five local dealers. Only two dealerships got back to me immediately with an out the door price. I appreciated that Cabe's email correspondence clearly stated the out the door price. The initial quote I received was $499 less than the other. Another dealer offered me $501 lower than that, but a) it was from a dealer with bad reviews (2 of 5 stars), and b) it didn't include Cabe's oil change/car wash (etc) deal, which we valued about $600. To be fair I told Cabe I was contemplating the offer, and Meghan B's boss offered to lower it another $100. I bring this all up because I did all of the negotiating over email. The other three dealers could only promise lower deals (allegedly) in person, which I personally wanted to avoid. When I arrived at the dealership to test drive the vehicle, the price was already set by Meghan. Meghan B. (friendly and pretty), let Evan M. (friendly but not as pretty) in sales take us on our test drive and we were hooked. We always were interested in the Prius, but it was the "C" line's subtle differences that made us want the car badly. It has great consumer reviews. The car parks small, but the visibility feels "tall" without the high center of gravity. Evan explained everything perfectly, honored Meghan's price, and we signed the paperwork. Mike (finance) was a very pleasant and animated fellow. Our experience was excellent. Thanks! More

Greatest experience ever while buying a new car! I got the best price with no pressure at all. Even went step by step with the monitor turned towards me, he was able to account for every penny of my money the best price with no pressure at all. Even went step by step with the monitor turned towards me, he was able to account for every penny of my money with no hidden fees or charges! I have never had a "pleasure" while buying a car but now I know how the buying experience should always be, this is the only dealer I will deal with from now on for my Toyotas and Scions. Thank you Even and all that helped! Keep up the great work and you will continue to thrive! More

After doing my research, I narrowed down my ch The BEST dealership around!!!!!!! I was in search of a vehicle larger than my current one (Corolla). After doing my research, I narrowed down my choices to a 4Runner or Tacoma. I was not interested in buying a new car because I thought I couldn't afford it. Boy was I wrong! My coworker suggested I try Cabe Toyota and I am glad I did. Cabe Toyota gave me the best deal on a 2013 Toyota Tacoma, hands down! I was able to get all the features I was looking for (White, double cab, automatic) and a great price with good monthly payments. I cannot thank them enough! At first I was a little skeptical about the price so I went to another dealership to compare prices. After I was haggled with pricing at other dealerships, I realized Cabe Toyota was the real deal! Everyone at Cabe Toyota is very nice and helpful. Evan Morikawa was particularly helpful and made sure all my questions were answered. He made the process so much easy and I could not have asked for a better person to work with! If you are looking for a Toyota and want to work with a dealership that you can trust and depend on, then look no further than Cabe Toyota!! More
