I really enjoyed working with Carlos and his manager at this dealership. I knew the model I wanted and as it was in high demand, I had to wait almost a month to get it. Carlos kept me informed all throughout the process and was there to help with no

The buying experience was a polite and very professional one. The dealership made what seemed a straightforward and basically fair deal. The warranties were later presented in the financing stage with an effective sales pitch. Having accepted
2025 Camry XSE
The Car Pro contact at this dealership, Sandra, was AWESOME. I have been looking for the specific model for the past couple of months. The different salesmen I have talked with only wanted to sell me the car that they had rather than what I wanted.

I paid MSRP. It seems some do better, but the way things are, I guess that's all I could expect.When she told me she only does one Carpro deal/month and that lots of people would want the car, I knew I had no leverage. I had to take the dealer

Sales Manager Sandra Bruning was Awesome! As was the salesman Sam! Extremely satisfied and Grateful! Thank You!
Toyota Crown
Camry Hybrid is very popular, and Pasadena didn't have one that was exactly what i wanted. I went to 5 dealers and last one is the one I bought the car from
Young Ju was exceptional. He was patient, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond.
Camry Hybrid
*CarPro Note - Review is lower because of customer issue with pricing, not CarPro experience.
Young Ju worked hard to get accurate answers to our questions on new Grand Highlander - and told me about their inventory - 2 cars at the moment, and a 3rd one that was closer to my request. Young was excellent! The Buildings only 13 years old and
The person listed on the Carpro website had another salesman work with me, she never introduced herself. The other salesman was nice but he let "Paul" a third salesman put undo pressure on us. The cars were so dirty, we had difficulty with
Got back to me promptly.
Sandra is very busy. We only connected briefly. I also spoke to Carlos the salesperson I was turned over to. The RAV 4 Prime was listed on their website for $41,000+ I was told the selling price was $15,000 above sticker at $62,000. The math did not
Basically emailed telling me none in stock and that was it.
Sandra Bruning was very responsive and cordial. Since the vehicle we are interested in will not become available until 2023, we had hoped to be placed on a wait list. Unfortunately, a smaller dealership is unable to do this. While we would have
I visited the dealership this past Monday. Sam is no longer with the company. I spoke with Chad, the General Manager. Unfortunately they have a very limited supply of new cars so leasing is not an option. Also, very limited on used cars which carry
Sam was very helpful in giving me the information I needed to make a decision between a cpo 2018 Corolla and leasing a 2021. I ended up getting the 2021 as it fit into my budget better. Also I read your article on Leasing For Seniors and decided to
Well the service we received was excellent. They even delivered our new car & drove away with our trade-in. (We live about 40 miles from the dealership and are seniors, so they went out of their way to help us.) We are long time Car Pro
We have gone to Toyota Pasadena multiple times, and each time random life events made it clear it wasn't the right time to buy. They have been nothing but patient and helpful each time. We finally pulled the trigger this time (they made an offer we
They were wonderful. They were able to navigate around all of the COVID-19 restrictions without any hassles. I was contacted via text message almost immediately after requesting my VIP Priority Pass. I was able to call Sam whenever I had questions.
Sam is great. He tried his best to get the pricing down for us to match or beat a Honda we were looking at. This was very tough for us because The two car brands we compared were very close in features. The difference was the Honda. It's a 2019
Sam was very responsive to my email communication, and transparent in the pricing. In fact, he knew that I was shopping around, and his price beat the local Toyota Dealership's price.
This was by far the best auto buying experience that I have had. We had previously purchased three vehicles at other dealerships about 10 years ago and not been aware of CarPro, we have bought two vehicles via a private car locating dealership, and
They were great. Sam worked with us to get a Rav4 in our budget. After I filled out the email at carprousa.com I received a call within 15 minutes on a holiday. I told Sam I we would be stopping by later in the afternoon. My wife and I had to unlock
The best experience we have ever had in buying/leasing a vehicle. Sam and his staff were professional, courteous and very helpful. They made the process pleasant and easy. We would highly recommend this agency.
Sam lived up to my CarPro expectation. I listen to the show on KNX 1070 in Los Angeles on Saturday's when ever I am driving. Sam was prepared for our visit. We had discussed what we were looking for and he selected several cars that fit our requests
I had a nice shopping experience with this dealership, particularly in working with Miguel. I wound up leasing another make of vehicle, and one of the Toyota vehicles at this dealership was the runner up choice. (A couple other Toyota models / trims

Diego was the sale man, he's very professional, knowledgeable off the vehicle and communicate very well.
Toyota Rav4 Hybrid XSE
Sandra was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional from the get-go. By the time we left, we had come to a very good financial deal. The only thing stopping us from driving away with the new RAV4 Hybrid was the fact that my daughter's husband is a
Did not have vehicle I was looking for. Found vehicle at another dealership
our pro was Koko and Sandra assisted with the process. Every aspect was not confrontational or stressful which is why we use carpro . After a tour of car and test drive the purchase process was as easy as could be , much easier and less stressful
Toyota RAV4
Actually we never met Sandra, we were set up with one of her sales people, who was very helpful and had a good knowledge of the vehicle. He answered all of our questions and if he did not know the answer, he told us that and when to find us an
I first contacted Toyota Pasadena on Saturday morning. I received an immediate call back. I told them the car I wanted and they had one on the lot which was different from 5+ dealers closer to our home. We arranged to go see it on Sunday. We liked

It was responsive and accurate. Inventory and current markup environment made working out a reasonable point forward untenable.
Email contact only.
I was looking for a Toyota Highlander Hybrid and everyone said that it was going to be a hard search. But, connecting with Toyota of Pasadena, through the CarPro website, I connected with Andy who was a great guide through the process. He answered
I contacted Sandra Bruning at Toyota of Pasadena about the 2023 RAV-4 Prime (plug in hybrid). She explained that none would be arriving for 6-8 months but I could test drive a 2021 RAV-4 hybrid since the ride was similar. So I came in the next
Contacted Sandra via the link. Expressed to her what I want and what I’d pay. She said she’ll get back to me with inventory. Have heard NOTHING. Maybe because they have no inventory. Still a reply would be courteous.
I never received a response from this dealer or the other dealer I tried.
Salesperson Richard Kilbas was fantastic. I wasn’t ready to purchase today, but did do a test drive and he answered all my questions. The Toyota inventory is slim all over the U.S. I still recommend Richard for your Toyota sales needs.
Sam called me 10 minutes after I sent him an email. He didn't have the used vehicle I'm looking for, but he was very friendly and promised to keep my name on hand in case my vehicle came in on a trade (I didn't visit the dealership).
Thanks to CarPro, I made an incredible deal at Pasadena Toyota on a new 2020 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE. I had communicated via email with Internet Sales Consultant Blanca Galloway regarding 2020's perhaps still available. Her response addressed my
Although I didn't buy from Sam I found him to be an honest man and a pleasure to work with. When I found that want j had my eye on cost more than I had anticipated with tax i decided to spend 10k more on since I was going that high and it was on a
My wife and I set out to buy her a new car on May 9th. We had narrowed the choice down to either a Lexus NX300 Hybrid or Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. After spending many WEEKS with first an unresponsive salesperson and then an unresponsive sales manager at
I sent a very specific e-mail of needs asking if the Dealership would be able to satisfy those needs in leasing me a car. Sam called me back the next day to tell me that he was able to find a Camry XSE 4-door V-6 Sedan which would satisfy my stated
We went in for research, with the intent to buy at the end of the year. They knew this going in. We never felt short changed or rushed. There was no pressure. They took the time to sit down with us after the test drive to answer questions and show
Awesome costumer service,Quick answers. Excellent service overall
I chose Pasadena Toyota because I live in the Valley and didn't want to travel to Santa Monica. I was a little skeptical since I was going alone as a single female. However, Sam called me within ten minutes of his receiving my VIP Priority Pass. We
Wonderful experience! Received a solid deal on a 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, and the same on my trade. Sam & Max were wonderful to work with. Everyone at the dealer was great; from reception to finance. . . yes even finance. But it was Sam
The friendly staff directed us to Chad Najjar, who greeted us and thanked us for coming in. He introduced us to Amy Floretta, the Internet Sales Consultant who showed us the vehicles we were interested in. A great personality and very helpful, we
Armed and the Pasadena Staff were great from making the initial appointment contact throughout the entire process. Great Car Pro discount, no back and forth price haggling! This was also the least amount of time I’ve spent at a dealership making a

I filled out the Car Pro form and was contacted very quickly by one of the salespeople, Gisele. We couldn’t get to the dealership the day she was working, but she said her associate Eddie could help us. We arrived and Eddie met us at the door. We

I had the pleasure of meeting with Andy Bingham to discuss the predicament of finding a 2023 Sienna Limited in the colors I prefer. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and thank goodness, very patient. He took the time to explain everything to
Koko was a great salesman. He worked diligently to get me the Rav 4 hybrid that I wanted. The one he proposed to me at first was sold but the people backed out. He made sure to let me know it was available when I went there to get my second choice.
I was assigned Carlos, as my Car Pro representative. He was very professional but the price that added to after the MSRP was a lot more than expected. I was open for a lease but that option was not available since there were no new cars in their and
Sandra and salesman Young Ju were very helpful in helping me select a new Camry from the limited inventory available. My former Toyota was destroyed, and I needed a new car rather quickly. I was originally looking for a hybrid with a different color
Maybe it's just me, but my experience was not good. I saw the prices listed on the CarProUSA website. When I contacted the dealer, I was informed that those prices aren't applicable, and that there would be a $7,000 market adjustment. I understand
I decided early on to go in a different direction, so I never visited the dealer, but the person I spoke with on the phone was polite, friendly and wished me good luck.
Had cars ready to go no pressure at any point
The sales manager was very prompt, very courteous and friendly. However, the CarPro discount was no better than other internet prices.
Recently bought a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid Limited at Toyota Pasadena and had a very good experience with the dealership! Sam, Adam, and Chad were great throughout the process and I would recommend them to anyone. They reserved me the car I wanted before it
I filled out the VIP info - Sam contacted me that evening and promised to call in the morning. He did. Told him what I wanted, and the financing expectations. It took him about 8 minutes to locate the car, and send me a quote with all the info I
I first called the dealer at the end of September, and spoke with Paul about getting the 2020 Camry Hybrid XLE, to see if they had any in stock, and he said that it would be about a week or so before they get it. I then got my Priority pass, and Sam
Sam, Blanca, and Peter went out of their way to ensure our queries, test drives, options/decision making and financing went as smoothly as possible, even when we were indecisive for a moment. They kept us satiated, satisfied and grateful, all while
I dealt with Sam first via e-mail. He was very helpful and the only reason why I didn't visit him is at the time he didn't have the exact vehicle I wanted and I found it a little closer to my home.
We exchanged emails and supposedly they were unable to get a Nightshade 4 Runner. Never specified an amount of time they would need to locate / trade, just said they would search then nothing.
They were very nice went with a TDI at another dealer
