I owe Timo's a big, BIG, thank you! First off, they have tons of vehicles in the 6k to 20k range…read more I don't even know how they fit that many on the lot. Secondly, all of the cars there are in great condition, much better condition than any of the other lots I visited within that price range. Thirdly, and most importantly, their customer service is TOP NOTCH. I recently purchased a vehicle there - plenty to choose from and no pressure, as so many have pointed out. I found a car I loved and it was in great condition. The price was great - below Carfax and KBB by a good amount. We bought the car and a few days later, I noticed a loss in power for a few seconds. I took it back and they immediately checked it, found a code, and dealt with the issue. About a week later, it happened again. Took it back, addressed the issue again. This went on for a month; I would drive the vehicle daily and it drove like a dream, until it didn't! I went to my regular mechanic; he couldn't duplicate or find the issue. I stopped by the mechanic my work uses; they couldn't locate the problem. So back to Timo's. I was so upset! Knowing the problem only happens every few days means it was going to be hard to prove and harder to diagnose, already dreading going back again.. Yet, Timo's never questioned me, they took the car back and drove it until they were able to see it happen and authorize repairs. Turns out, it needed a new engine. No way they could have known this, the car drove great 99% of the time and this only happened under very specific conditions. They replaced it, even though we were now outside the 30 day/1k mile warranty. They could have hid behind that warranty, they could have pretended they didn't see the issue or solved it (an issue I could not prove existed or even replicate myself), but they didn't! During all of this, they were very kind, always called me back quickly, and never once treated me like a hassle even though I know they were as frustrated by the issue as I was. Javier was very apologetic and always took the time to explain why this was hard to diagnose and the steps they were taking to make it right. They were doing everything they could and didn't give up until the problem was solved. He also offered me other solutions, like canceling the purchase, picking another vehicle, or finding us a similar vehicle. Ultimately, we chose another vehicle. Even though they fixed the issue and the vehicle had a new engine, we just kind of wanted to move on from that one and they were totally understanding about it, even though they had solved the issue, they still wanted to make sure that I was comfortable about it all. Believe it or not, they sold us that vehicle, with fewer miles and more overall upgrades and value, for the same price! That is a full commitment to the customer. I've purchased many used cars and can say, without a doubt, Timo's went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience. Javier said it repeatedly - he wanted us to have a good experience - and his actions proved so. They will be my number one, go-to, from now on and I will recommend them to everyone I know. In summary, Timo's offers the best cars for the lowest prices, and provides the best customer service. All used cars come with some future repairs or downsides, but Timo's has very quality cars for great prices. They stand by their 30 or so years of small business on the Central Coast. Thank you all at Timo's

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but after multiple experiences trying to purchase a Tundra…read morefrom Toyota Santa Maria, I feel like other potential buyers should know what my experience was. I was a serious, cash-ready buyer and genuinely wanted to purchase a truck from this dealership. I live about an hour away, so dealing with this dealership meant taking time away from work and making the drive to Santa Maria. My first experience was with a 2007 Tundra. I had an appointment to come see the truck and made plans around going down there, only for the truck to be sold before I got there. I understand vehicles can sell quickly and that an appointment doesn't necessarily mean a vehicle is being held, but it was still frustrating. Despite that, I gave Toyota Santa Maria another opportunity when a 2021 Tundra Limited became available. This is where my experience became especially frustrating. I took HALF A DAY OFF WORK and drove about an hour to Santa Maria specifically to see this truck. When I arrived, the truck wasn't actually ready. It still needed to be diagnosed and go through their inspection/reconditioning process. From there, I kept being told it should be ready "tomorrow." Tomorrow came and it still wasn't ready. Then it became another tomorrow, and so on. I waited SIX DAYS because I was genuinely interested in buying this truck. Six days later, Toyota Santa Maria called me wanting to TALK NUMBERS over the phone on the 2021 Tundra. My response was basically: when is the truck actually going to be ready? At that point, discussing numbers wasn't my main concern. I had already taken time off work and driven an hour to see a truck that wasn't ready, then spent almost a week being told it should be ready soon. Before negotiating anything, I wanted to know when I could actually see and purchase the finished, inspected truck. Then, the VERY NEXT MORNING, I was told the truck was actually not going to be sold at all. Apparently, enough problems had come up during their inspection that they decided to wholesale the truck instead. To be clear, I'm glad they ultimately didn't sell me a truck they didn't feel comfortable retailing. I would much rather find that out beforehand than buy a problem. My issue is how the entire process was handled. I took half a day off work, lost income, drove an hour each way, showed up to a truck that wasn't ready, waited six days while repeatedly being told it should be ready "tomorrow," and then received a phone call asking me to start talking numbers BEFORE they had even determined whether the truck was going to be retail-ready. Then the very next morning, suddenly the truck wasn't for sale at all. After all of that, they offered me a cleaner 2019 Tundra Limited 4x4 with around 69k miles for $45,995. I was STILL willing to give Toyota Santa Maria another opportunity if they could make the numbers make sense considering everything I had already gone through. I made an offer I felt comfortable with. Instead, I was told they were firm because they already had other interest in the truck and ultimately they were only willing to offer $1,000 off. At that point, I was done. And to be clear, this review isn't simply because they wouldn't accept my offer. They have every right to ask whatever they want for their vehicles, just like I have every right to spend my money somewhere else. It's about the overall customer experience. I came to Toyota Santa Maria READY TO BUY. I took time away from my business, lost half a day of work, drove an hour each way, waited nearly a week for a truck while repeatedly being told it would be ready soon, and then was asked to discuss numbers on a vehicle that they apparently hadn't even determined was suitable to sell yet. After giving this dealership multiple opportunities to earn my business, I've decided I'll be taking my money elsewhere. If Toyota Santa Maria genuinely made an effort to make this situation right and offered me the right truck at a price that made sense after everything I've gone through, I'd be willing to reconsider my opinion and update this review accordingly. But based on my experience as it stands today, I personally would not recommend Toyota Santa Maria. If you're considering buying here--especially if you're driving in from out of town--I'd strongly recommend confirming that the vehicle has COMPLETED its inspection and is actually READY FOR SALE before taking time off work or making the drive.
