We had a very positive overall smooth and even enjoyable experience working with Jim McArdle. He was professional and provided excellent support throughout the process. We found the car online and left our experience working with Jim McArdle. He was professional and provided excellent support throughout the process. We found the car online and left our information and Jim followed up quickly with a phone call. Since we live in Glendale we could not just drop by, it required some planning. He was very helpful in setting up a time when the car would be available for us to see. Jim was knowledgeable and good at guiding us with different options during the finance process which we really appreciated as we already had one big Mercedes payment and wanted to keep this payment lower, so needed to know how much to put down. Thanks for making the sometimes stressful part comfortable! Shout out to Anna the financial person for making her part enjoyable for us! The Ventura Toyota seemed to have an all over positive good vibe! More

We just wanted to personally thank Jim McCardle for the exceptional service he provided during our recent visit. We visited Ventura Toyota on Thursday while exploring our options for a new vehicle, and exceptional service he provided during our recent visit. We visited Ventura Toyota on Thursday while exploring our options for a new vehicle, and although we ultimately decided to go with a Honda CR-V (due to its cargo space and comfort), we felt compelled to share what an exceptional experience we had — all thanks to Jim. Jim was, without a doubt, the best salesperson we interacted with throughout our entire car search. His genuine Midwest charm, professionalism, and deep product knowledge made us feel at ease right away. He was patient, honest, and never once made us feel pressured — just incredibly helpful and sincere. He went above and beyond to walk us through features, answer every question, take a test drive and make sure we had everything we needed to make an informed decision. If we were choosing purely based on the sales experience, Jim would’ve won hands down. Toyota is lucky to have someone like him on their team, and we would wholeheartedly recommend anyone in the market to go see Jim first. Thank you again, Jim — you truly set the bar high. More

Jim at Ventura Toyota was extremely helpful. I had very specific needs for my vehicle and it wasn’t something the dealership had.

Our experience at Ventura Toyota was the best experience ever at a car dealership. Our sales associate was Luis Martinez. He was straightforward, friendly and honest. In fact, he sold our daughter her first ever at a car dealership. Our sales associate was Luis Martinez. He was straightforward, friendly and honest. In fact, he sold our daughter her first ever new car just a couple months earlier so that speaks volumes about our feelings towards him. We felt zero pressure. We had put a deposit for a specific trim and color we wanted and were told in would be 3 months before it became available. In the meantime, he continued to try locate the model we wanted and delivered just a little over a month later with no dealer mark up for an extremely popular vehicle with difficult to find color and trim. Do not hesitate to go see Luis Martinez and Ventura Toyota! More

I had been dreading the car purchasing process. Part of my reluctance was due to my repetitively regretful experiences with my local dealership service center. My purchase at Ventura Toyota was Part of my reluctance was due to my repetitively regretful experiences with my local dealership service center. My purchase at Ventura Toyota was a pleasant surprise. With new RAV4's hard to come by I took a look at their used stock. I found one to my liking (thank you Luis for the knowledge & test drive) and started the process. Jim McArdle handled the sale, including my trade in, in a professional and straightforward fashion. While there was not much in negotiations, there were a few points that Jim was very helpful in working through and making me feel good about the transaction. Being in sales myself I appreciated that he took my concerns to management to be worked out in a fair manor. While there was one minor xxxx-up in ordering a part, Jim quickly helped me get this corrected with the service department. In summary, my interactions with sales team and service department has been very satisfactory. It was well worth the drive from Santa Barbara to get this level of service. Thank you, Justin C. More

My wife and I wanted to buy a Toyota Camry and we had 4 choices of dealerships in Ventura County. There is one main reason we bought at Ventura Toyota and that reason is Jim McArdle!! When I talked to Ji choices of dealerships in Ventura County. There is one main reason we bought at Ventura Toyota and that reason is Jim McArdle!! When I talked to Jim on the phone to make an appointment I knew this would work. He was friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the specific car we were interested in. He knew the answers to my questions without having to put me on hold and look them up or ask someone else. When we arrived at the dealership we enjoyed the smoothest car buying process I've ever experienced in my 50 years of buying cars. The test drive let us confirm we definitely wanted the Camry. Jim gave us a brief demonstration of the cars technology and features. And the smooth transition to the paperwork was seamless. Jim has infinite patience to answer your questions although he will probably anticipate most of them. His guiding us through the whole process made the experience actually enjoyable. We had previously dealt with two other dealerships in the county and Jim is so far above the competition there is no comparison. Coincidently, my brother bought a new Toyota in Virginia recently. After hearing about the bad experience he had with his sales person I knew that Jim was a true professional and "one in a million." Whatever you do, ASK FOR JIM!! More
