I got preapproved through Capital One Bank with a $14,000

I got preapproved through Capital One Bank with a $14,000 down payment After receiving an email from Toyota of Torrance, I reply to that email with screen captures of my pre-approval to purchase their $17,000 2018 Mini Cooper Countryman for my daughter After a business day and a half with no reply to the email I called and asked for an Internet sales manager / The lady who picked up the call identified herself as an Internet sales manager & asked for my name but couldn’t find the email Then she asked for my phone number to locate my inquiry and I was on hold for over 50 minutes. It would’ve hour, but I shut the call down I have not received a follow-up call or reply to the original email as of this posting I will buy from another local dealership with better professionalism and courtesy to a potential customer

I can't urge this enough; stay far away from this

I can't urge this enough; stay far away from this dealership. The amount of issues my friend and I had while we bought her first car was appalling, and most of them are the fault of the salesman Everett who dropped the ball at every turn. The car that we originally purchased (deposit paid and all paperwork already signed) had severe mechanical issues the day we came to drive it off the lot, despite supposedly being "certified". It also had many more miles on it than the day we purchased it, suggesting an employee had been using the car in the meantime. The dealership refused to issue a check for the deposit refund and instead insisted that my friend to purchase a more expensive car. A few days after purchasing the new car, I discover that it has a tracking device installed. I understand this is a common practice nowadays, but we were never notified it was there and there is nothing in all the paperwork stating there is a tracking device in the vehicle. I called Everett and he assured me someone would contact me, which they didn't after three days. I contacted Everett again and he yelled at me on the phone, saying I am "out to get him". I then spoke with Jonathan, a manager at the dealership, who was calm and reasonable at first but then abruptly exploded and hung up. This horrible experience was unnecessary and would have been a non-issue if Everett hadn't continually dropped the ball. Please go anywhere else but here, and if you do have the unfortunate luck of ending up at this dealership, ask for anyone besides Everett.

Excellent Experience

Very Helpful! That’s all I have to say with the service I received from Seth when I came to see the new Corolla Cross. He explained the different options they came with and test drove me up the hill so I could see that it has enough power for what I’m looking for. The space is perfect for me. I told him I’m waiting for my insurance settlement and plan to be back for the vehicle in a month or two. I’m looking forward to coming ack and getting my Cross soon. Thanks again.

Don't fool customers by saying you can't speak Eng

I have financed a Sienna in DCH Toyota of Torrance at the September 30th of 2017. It was a 72 month finance with the protect insurance. However, being too costly, I have returned to cancel the protect insurance at the 14th of October, the Saturday of the 2nd week buying the car. The fiancing employee at the time was named Dean, letting my family know that we could cancel the insurance any time as long as it was done within a month of the purchase. Dean had informed us that although the insurance was cancelled, the payment, due to it's contract with the bank being fixed, would remain the same but the months would decrease. Thus, I had known the end of the payments as December of 2022. At the time of cancellation, I had requested a cancellation form but he mentioned that because it was in record, a form wouldn't be needed. Despite reinsisting the form, Dean had shown us his monitor and told us that the insurance had been cancelled. Trusting his words, my family has payed a monthly fee of $547.28 for a total of $5788. In reality, Dean had not cancelled the insurance but only acted as if he did. He had decieved us with his lies and actions

the price is not the price

the price on you see on their new and used inventory is just a price to get you in, they have forced dealer installed items and markups for all vehicles. If you are buying a car stay away from this dealer look else where.

The used car store to go to

Good selection of used cars. It was worth the drive because I got a awesome deal on my used Camry. It even had tinted windows. Thank you Seth and dch toyota.

Camry

I’ve been shopping around for weeks looking at used Camry options and came across several I liked at Torrance Toyota. When I stopped by to check them out I told the salesman I wasn’t buying today but wanted help with a few I saw online. He was helpful offering me a test drive and answering my questions about the different options they had. Hopefully the car is still available when I’m ready to buy because it seemed to be a good price and lower miles which I liked. Seth was patient with me so I’ll be back for sure.

Lovin the Camry

So excited with my new Camry that I got from DCH Toyota of Torrance. Phillip helped me out in the process and is a very nice and professional salesman. He explained features and got me in my comfort zone on payments. Thank you very much guys.

Lacking good customer service

Made a purchase from their pre-owned lot a week ago. After driving the car only twice, it stalled on my way to work. Notified my sales agent, but he stated he no longer worked there. Notified dealer about my situation via emails and various phone message to no avail. Attempted to have it towed, but was told by service agent that their dealer was not a storage location, and that I would need to speak with sales manager. I mentioned to her that I had already been transferred to various extensions. Additionally, I was in an area where I did not feel comfortable leaving the newly purchased car. In between her irked demeanor, she stated she would now send an email on my behalf describing my situation. After not receiving a response, I attempted to schedule a regular service appointment, in hopes that I could finally have the car towed and have it checked out as soon as there was an availability. Service agent seemed upset that I was calling yet again, and said that I could not schedule a service appointment until I spoke with a sales manager. After waiting all morning and afternoon for a call back, I towed the car to a safer location. It’s been 1 day 1/2 and have yet to receive any type of message from anyone at the dealer.
