Leasing a Car Nobu Ishihara at Toyota Sunnyvale provided such great service when I went to go find a car to lease. Even though our appointment was supposed to be an Nobu Ishihara at Toyota Sunnyvale provided such great service when I went to go find a car to lease. Even though our appointment was supposed to be an hour, he spent way beyond the time to help me find the right car. During the test drives, he would highlight the car's functions and help compare and contrast the different models. Since I was unsure of the feel of the cars, he let me test drive two car again, and was more than happy to break down the numbers for me as well. I went to Roy for financial aspect of the lease, and he laid everything out very cleanly and was extremely personable. Highly recommend handling car deals with Nobu and finance with Roy. More

We have 2 dogs and we do snowboar We are comletely new to live here, so it was amazingly great experience for us to find best car for my family there. We have 2 dogs and we do snowboarding and I do surfing. Nobu recommended us RAV4 XLE AWS in great conditions and with affordable price for my family. We asked a lot of questions about certificates, insurance and maintenance... he and team supported everything we needed. I think I will recommend others if it is the first time to buy a car here! Thank you! More

Hassle Free Experience I got a super deal on a Toyota Corolla iM at Toyota of Sunnyvale. Mr. Nobu Ishihara was my Sales Rep and he was so nice and courteous. I told him tha I got a super deal on a Toyota Corolla iM at Toyota of Sunnyvale. Mr. Nobu Ishihara was my Sales Rep and he was so nice and courteous. I told him that I live in southern California and asked if he would hold the car for me. I flew up to Sunnyvale and Mr. Nobu Ishihara came in on his day off to meet me. Mr, Nobu was the most professional car sales specialist. He kept me informed about the car prior to my arrival and gave me the full details including the final out the door price and the mileage. He also took his time to show me all of the functions in the car and even got for me free floor mats. Mr. Nobu's customer service is very much like what you would find in Japan and that is the customer's satisfaction comes first. Before I drove off, he made sure that I had everything I needed and explained all of the information to me in case I had any question. I would highly recommend Toyota of Sunnyvale to anyone. A lot dealerships post false ads to get you in and then try to sell you something else. Toyota of Sunnyvale was honest and I got the exact car I asked for and my final price was less than what I was quoted previously. I'm very happy with my purchase. More
