  • Honest, no BS dealer, highly recommend!

    5 out of 5 starsby Karen on 10/21/2024

    I’ve been to many sleepy dealerships (never a Toyota one), mainly Honda. I went in to Santa Cruz Toyota with my guard up, ready to fight, only to find out they’re transparent, fair, kind and don’t play any games. Chuck and Miguel helped me in buying my new Toyota RAV4 and they both exceeded my expectations. The price you see on the window is the price. Period. They don’t try to slip anything past you like other car dealers. These folks are the real deal. They are respectful and have integrity. I’ll never buy another car anywhere but here ❤️
  • Home of the $450 oil change! Beware Finance bait-and-switch here.

    1 out of 5 starsby Scott on 04/13/2023

    To be clear, I'm very happy with the used truck I bought, and even my (limited) experience with their Service department, but the Finance guy (Alex) downright lied to me when he sold me a "prepaid" service package, ensuring me that my upcoming 60,000 mile maintenance would be covered. Well, I only discovered that what he sold me was "oil changes and fluids" when I drove an hour to get there for the 60,000 mile work. By the time they "refunded" me the package, they had pro-rated it and the one (!) oil change they had done for me so far wound up costing me $450! I'm not happy, and won't be back. I'll be taking my truck to a local service business closer to home from here out. And I will not be buying from them again. I should have known better. If you want to be left feeling like a fool too, then this is the place for you.
  • The Best Car buying experience ever!

    5 out of 5 starsby tami and jennifer on 07/16/2021

    We have purchased alot of cars, and this by far was the best experience ever! We didn't even leave our home...we live 4 hrs. away...and they had it delivered and even filled the tank when they arrived here. I am so grateful and impressed with Robin and her team! The Used Car manager had a ding fixed perfectly...this dealership has great integrity and goes beyond to please their customers! Thank you all....
  • Detailed Service is not detail it’s an expensive car wash only done badly

    2 out of 5 starsby CorinaM on 06/30/2020

    I schedule my vehicle for an auto detail special they had. And to be sincere I think it was a very expensive car wash not done well my seats were not even vacuumed when they were supposed to be shampooed. The window still had fingerprints on hands print it on. The detailing inside was poorly done. I initially came to Toyota service thinking it would be done professionally to my surprise it was not. Next time I would just look for somebody else to do the detail even if I have to pay more. I am putting my car out of my personal belongings to have everything detailed and those areas we’re not even touched cupholders are still yucky they didn’t even put attention to those small details pockets for the seatbelts still have crumbs seats still have hair. The other services I’ve received through Toyota have been great except this detailing service not recommended.
  • Unacceptable

    1 out of 5 starsby Geoff on 04/28/2020

    First off I had to wait over a month with little to no communication with my salesman Chris unless I made a effort on multiple lines of communication. So after waiting over a month which I understand with everything going on right now believe me I know I’m a firefighter with. I had to contact Chris to find out that the truck was delivered. Chris has already sent me a price quote at this time. Day of our meeting he sends me a txt saying the price jumped up because of everything going on right now. Which is just not right, I had to wait over a month for a truck and your gonna punish me for that. Then when I show up for my appointment Chris was no where to be found and was very rude. I was prepared to buy the truck that day. But not only the price jump but the way I was treated was not acceptable. I really wanted it to work. My parents have bought cars here before. I would like to buy the truck without being taking advantage of and being so Mistreated And called a liar. Don’t buy here.
  • Cared about my needs

    5 out of 5 starsby Sara on 02/17/2020

    I really liked working with Robert. He listened to my needs and helped me find the car that works for me. He was genuine and honest. I didn't feel pressured and felt like I had a friend who wanted to help.

  • Toyota Santa Cruz rocks!

    5 out of 5 starsby TJ on 09/25/2019
    updated 10/02/2019

    First, let me say that Robin Steinberg is an excellent salesperson! (I assume you already know this) Robin is extremely competent. In addition to taking care of all the usuals, she made sure that everything went very smoothly for me. She was in contact with me not only during the sales process, but afterwards to make sure all went well. I will recommend her to all my friends most highly! Second, I appreciated the interactions I had with the other personnel at your dealer. I believe I spoke with Tom when I walked in at 9:00 am . And I appreciated working with Adam Kirkpatrick in Finance to complete the deal. My experience at Toyota Santa Cruz was positive.
    • Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review about your experience with us! We truly appreciate it. We would like to congratulate you on your new car! We are very glad to hear that your experiences with it have been very positive. It was great doing business with you. We hope to see you again!
