Visited the Dealership on Christmas eve, fully expecting the dealership to be closed. Not so! As my wife and I began looking about the lot a gentleman came on to the lot asking if we needed help. I told him what I was looking for and he immediately knew who to refer us to and in the next couple minutes we had the distinct pleasure of meeting Kent Owens. The time was about 12;30 PM. Five hours later, after a thorough indoctrination of the auto we were interested in, we were driving that very vehicle - a 2013 Lexus ES 350 - home. In the process of buying the vehicle Kent took us for a test drive, explained the many features on the vehicle, and - simply made us very comfortable in making the purchase. All personnel we came in contact with were courteous, as well as concerned about well being. This buying experience was definitely a pleasure! I marked the price area "good" because I would have liked to have gotten the car for a lesser price. However, I do believe the base price for the car with all the accoutrements was fair. The only negative - driving home from a trip to Monterey, Ca, over the New Year's holiday, was stopped by CHP around the Stockton area for having expired registration. OOPs! More

Sales process was excellent with each person at the dealership going the extra mile to make the sale happen. I could not be happier. Kent was the "make it work" deal maker and I appreciate that.

This is the third Lexus I have purchased from this dealership, and it again lived up to its 5 star rating. I did lots of research beforehand which led me to Mike Kennedy who got the process started. K dealership, and it again lived up to its 5 star rating. I did lots of research beforehand which led me to Mike Kennedy who got the process started. Kent Owens was wonderful! He was able to find the exact car I was interested in and from then on it was smooth sailing - no pressure. Even fun, which is not usually expected. I was treated with respect and consideration by Kent and the entire staff. Both Kent and Mark showed infinite patience throughout. I might be putting Mark on speed dial! Bryon was great - no pressure regarding extras. Everyone was so kind. A day well spent! More

My lease was ending on my 3rd Lexus RX and because of the excellent service I have had in the past with Lexus of Sacramento I went back. I lease because I like a new car every 4yrs and it works for me. Ken excellent service I have had in the past with Lexus of Sacramento I went back. I lease because I like a new car every 4yrs and it works for me. Kent Owens was the sales person I dealt with and he was awesome--made me feel like part of the family. He listened to what I wanted on my RX and made sure I got exactly that. We went for a test drive and had fun with all of the new features. I started part of the paper work that day and then came back the next day to finish up and work with Mike Zinda. Mike was awesome too and made everything so easy. I wanted to have my car Perma Plated and the wheel rims traded out so Jeff Dyke from Service handled that--excellently I might add. Last but not least was awesome help (with NO eye rolling) from Delivery Specialist Mark Castoreno. The cars after my 2009 come with keyless ignition and everything on a screen. Mark spent about 2rs with me going over the features which still baffle me. He was so patient and told me I could come back or call anytime for help. Then today I had a question for Kent. He didn't know the answer as the 2013 RX 350s have only been out about 3 weeks but I got a call from him in the afternoon with an answer. Kudos to all involved in my new lease. Because of the excellent service and excellent product that Lexus produces I will continue to be a loyal Lexus of Sacramento customer as I have been since 2001 and keep coming back. Thanks to Kent, Mike, Jeff and Mark!!!! More

After 241,000 miles and high gasoline prices, I needed to upgrade my 2001 ride. So, after contacting my local Bay Area dealer and the personal shopper from my credit union and waiting for a month without any upgrade my 2001 ride. So, after contacting my local Bay Area dealer and the personal shopper from my credit union and waiting for a month without any responses, last Friday, June the 1st at about 10:30pm on line I found the loaded certified 2010 Highlander Hybrid Limited under 26,000 miles color and everything that I was looking for and contacted the dealership. Immediately, the following morning on my way to the Macy's in Union Square SF to film "The Great American Chef's Tour" I had 2 emails informing me that this vehicle was still available. That's when my relationship with Kent Owens began. Kent was quick to the point, as filming a live TV show is a hectic and relentless pace. Kent knew the specifics and mostly understanding with my needs as a Key Grip freelance independent contractor working 6 days a week 10-12 hrs a day in different locations and changing hours. Kent was willing to hear and listened to my requests, needs and expectations and provide the out of the box service required needs to make this deal happen for us. Time and pressure was pushing close to the edge as it now was close to 3pm on Saturday and we just managed to make contact with my credit union and Kent before they closed for the weekend. Things were looking good, as it was mid weekend and because of our distance and inability to have a physical one on one if things did not fall into place at the right time there was no assurance that this could go through. But Kent hung in there assuring, negotiating and presenting options. On Sunday while I was working a photo shoot in Brisbane, CA documents were emailed, texts flew back and forth, papers were signed and faxed and phone calls were made. Kent's down to earth, part of the family, friendly and comfortable style made the entire experience and work through the process of the paperwork, negotiations, trade-in such a win/win situation that when he offered to actually drive the car down on Monday and meet me at another photo shoot in Sausalito, CA and meet me there at my lunch time on a rainy and windy day, there was no doubt in mind that this man and this dealership was not your regular ordinary or customary operation. My only regret is the physical time constraint that shortened the amount of time Kent and I actually spent toghther to about only 45 minutes. But let me be clear, that those were quality packed, information filled and the person to person contact with a man who had gone the extra 100 miles (texting me as he neared) dedicated to informing m, answering my questions and making it completely convenient for my out of the box life to have the personal and intimate experience of finding the car that I've been looking for. My family, my wallet and I are extreamly thankful for meeting Kent Owens and making it happen. Today as I enjoyed driving my 2010 Hilander Hybrid to work this Tuesday morning to the KQED filming at the Castro theatre in SF, I am proud, honored and humbled of the entire experience that I shared with Kent Owens and the Sacramento Lexus Dealership. Thank You Kent!! More
