I was in the market for a Prius Two. I did my research - read car buying websites (edmunds, autotrader, etc.), ordered a report from Consumer Reports, talked to Prius owners and called several dealers. Some read car buying websites (edmunds, autotrader, etc.), ordered a report from Consumer Reports, talked to Prius owners and called several dealers. Some dealers refused to provide a quote over the phone (Santa Monica Toyota), some provided MSRP quotes (Keyes Toyota), but refused to negotiate at all over the phone. Cabe Toyota provided the lowest quote, which was a great price according to car buying websites and CR, and was willing to talk to me over the phone. No BS, no hard sales tactics, no pressure. I worked with Evan Morikawa (sales) and Mike Shaw (financing), who were both really pleasant to work with. The whole process (from test drive to drive-off) took about 3 hours, but was relatively painless. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a great deal on a Toyota. More

I just bought my very first 2012 Scion xB from Cabe Toyota/Scion and am very happy with the service I received. I knew that I was planning to purchase my vehicle through the internet sales departmen Toyota/Scion and am very happy with the service I received. I knew that I was planning to purchase my vehicle through the internet sales department but wasn't sure which dealer to go with. After reading reviews throughout the internet I saw Cabe Toyota, read the reviews, and was sold. They had such rave reviews that a part of me thought maybe it was too good to be true...well I will be one to say it really is that good! My first point of contact was with Tina Muniz. I submitted a query through their website and was contacted by her via email, which was my communication preference. She was able to answer all of my questions and her emails were always pleasant. Even with smiley faces...which I liked. :) When I decided to make an appointment to come in and take a look at a Scion she referred me to Evan Morikawa. Evan contacted me via email immediately after being referred by Tina. We communicated via email and he too was helpful in answering all of my questions. I made an appointment to test drive a Scion and have to say fell in love with the vehicle. Unfortunately they didn't have the color I wanted in stock but I didn't mind waiting. This car was supposed to be my birthday present to myself which was in one week. Evan was aware of this and said he would do his best to get me the car before my birthday. During my wait time I had a few more questions for Evan and he was more than happy to answer my questions and even updated me on the progress of locating the car. Within the week and two days before my birthday he called to let me know the car had arrived and that I could make an appointment to come in to purchase it. I made an appointment for the same day and Evan stayed late, way past the time he's supposed to be there, in order for me to come in and take a look at the vehicle. That to me is service and shows that Evan does care about his customers. Before I drove off he made sure that all my questions about the vehicle was answered and he even helped me set up my bluetooth to connect to the Scion's radio. Last but not least is Mike Shaw, the finance guy. He made the purchase of the vehicle easy. I understand that he does have to go through the add-on services with me and that I understood what was available to me at the time of purchase. However, there was no pressure from him to purchase the add-on services and he was willing to explain everything in detail to me. All in all my experience with Cabe Toyota/Scion of Long Beach was a pleasant one. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Evan, especially, was a wonderful sales consultant who understood my wants/needs as a customer. The whole process was stress free, pressure free, and absolutely pain free, except for my wallet which did drop a small tear but it has nothing to do with the dealership. I would 100% recommend you going to Cabe Toyota/Scion should you decide to purchase a vehicle. I would also recommend Evan Morikawa to be your sales representative, if at all possible. More

This was by far the best car buying experience we have EVER had! We requested quotes online from three dealerships via the Kelly Blue Book website. Cabe Toyota was the first one to respond…according to ou EVER had! We requested quotes online from three dealerships via the Kelly Blue Book website. Cabe Toyota was the first one to respond…according to our request that preferred method of contact be by email. Evan Morikawa emailed in a matter of minutes, very professional and very precise. The email included all the details, complete specifications of the vehicle we inquired about and the quote which was already down to invoice price. Evan was on top of everything, answering questions and NEVER was he ever pushy like most car salesmen are. What we also loved about Cabe Toyota was their apparent team work. When Evan wasn’t available we were never left waiting…he referred us to Cristina but when she wasn’t available, we were referred to Jorge who took great care of us. And lastly to close the sale, Joe was wonderful…and we drove off our new Toyota Highlander VERY happy. Not only will we consider Cabe Toyota for future purchase but we will very gladly refer friends, family and acquaintances to them. Thanks again for taking care of us! More

Although from the beginning, Cabe already gave the best price, we decided to visit a handful of other dealers to see how it compares. Not only were they not able to match/beat that price, but it seemed like they want to sell what they already have in the lot rather than find something that fits our budget and needs. We were taken cared of by Evan Morikawa, who kept in touch with us, pressure free, and got us the perfect Sienna which fits our exacting specifications. Evan was able to get a Sienna from a different dealer (we tried with other dealers and all refused, since they were getting rid of existing 2012 on-lot) which was exactly a fit for us. At the time, Cabe no longer had a 2012, but they went that extra mile to meet our needs. The straightforward pricing, pressure-free customer interfacing, and the friendly atmosphere allowed for a unique kind of car buying experience, compared to the other dealers we visited. Jason Webber, the finance service manager, was also extremely easy to deal with and the paperwork went by so cleanly and quickly. Thank you for making our car buying experience enjoyable! -nina|jay p. Anaheim, CA More

Long overdue review. I received my Scion FR-S from Cabe Toyota about 2weeks ago. It was the best experience I've ever had when purchasing a car. Evan Morikawa took care of me and kept his promise ...no dea Toyota about 2weeks ago. It was the best experience I've ever had when purchasing a car. Evan Morikawa took care of me and kept his promise ...no dealer addons, MSRP, kept the car as if it just came off the port and no holes drilled for the plates. Highly recommend this dealer for the customer service and no hidden gimmicks. More

I scored the following because it was initially an inquire on the purchase price of a 2012 Prius Plug-In. Jeanette responded to my email immediately with the car and color of the 2012 Prius Plug-In. inquire on the purchase price of a 2012 Prius Plug-In. Jeanette responded to my email immediately with the car and color of the 2012 Prius Plug-In. Also, I called her and she gave me a quote over the phone. I then decided to have her hold the car for me and then she sent me the car info. I requested the VIN # and immediately she responded back with it & referred me to Evan Morikawa (sales person). I confirmed my appointment. She later sent me an email with a new lower price of the car (due to maybe the manufacturer). On the day of my appointment, I did not look forward to dealing with sales people. To my surprise, Evan was not like any other sales person. He was cordial, nice, pleasant, easy to talk to, down to earth person that you can relate to. Evan provided the monthly cost payment for each scenario. He made the process very pleasant. He also introduced me to Jeanette, who responded to me email. Later I was sent to Cristina and then Jason. Both took care of me without any pressure. If I knew about Cabe Toyota last year, I would have leased my other car from them. Kudos to the team at Cabe Toyota. I will definitely refer my friends and family to Evan, Jeanette, Cristina, and Jason. Thanks again for the no stress, hassle free, car buying experience!!!! Sincerely, Gerardo "Gary" G. More
