Used Toyota Tundra trucks for sale in San Diego, CA

Great service efficient communication helpful staff

Working in an auto repair shop the tundra is ahead of the big 3 when it come to longevity, durability, and reliability. My 14 has done everything I asked it to do.

We have been going to Kearny Pearson Kia for five years, and purchased two Kia there. The purchasing experience and the service experience have both been consistently pleasant, comfortable and reliable. Our service advisor (Maxx Scott) particularly stands out as exceptional.

Test drove and fell in love with the Tundra. Have only had it for a week but like it more everyday. Quality anf performance are impressive.

My husband Paul and I recently purchased a '06 Saturn ION from CarMax in Kearney Mesa. We were greeted with friendly and professional service. The purchase went smoothly and we are happy with our Saturn Ion.

I have owned several pickups in my life but as of now the Tundra is my favorite. While there are trucks that may have a particular feature that is better then the Tundra, in my opinion there are none better when you look at the whole package.

I had never gone to a dealer for repairs until I got my Tacoma. But when I bought that truck, I brought it in for an inspection. Now it has more than 100k miles and it's it back in the shop twice more when it had an issue. Every time, the team was able to assist me immediately. This last time I was even able to make an appointment online after hours for the earliest appointment the next day. They gave me a ride to work and back. And they even lent me a courtesy car when they had to keep my truck overnight. Both times I brought the truck in for repair, I feel that the shop expertly diagnosed the problem, proposed an appropriate solution, and executed flawlessly. I love my truck and I trust that at Kearny Mesa Toyota it's in good hands. 10/10 would recommend.

The Tundra has been a great truck. I currently have 162K miles, and it runs great. I maintain the vehicle exactly as per factory recommendations, and Toyota of Lancaster (CA) does all my maintenance. The only problem is the cheap two-piece OEM lug nuts that Toyota builds the truck with. The lug nuts appear to be nice, big, shiny, solid, heavy-duty lug nuts; however, they are actually comprised of a small, unattractive core (the actual lug nut) to which Toyota adds a nice big shiny-bright 'chrome' cheap sheet metal cover (the fake "heavy-duty" lug nut). At approx. 150K miles, the cheap sheet metal cover - having been beaten up by the Toyota Service Dept torque wrenches every 5K when I have the tire/wheels rotated - are battered at the corners and won't accept a standard socket. The Toyota of Lancaster (CA) Service Dept then told me that they could not rotate my wheels/tires because the "lug nuts are swollen" and they cannot remove/replace the lug nuts. When - in disbelief - I stated that I doubted that was the case and asked what could possibly cause lug nuts to "swell", the service rep told me (with a straight face) that sun, water, dirt, mileage, etc., all contribute to lug nut "swelling." I then stated that if my lug nuts are damaged, then Toyota's Service Dept and their careless use of impact wrenches are to blame as they are the only ones removing/replacing the wheels/tires. When I asked how much to replace the "swollen lug nuts", I was quoted "$492.50". I refused to pay that ridiculous sum and left the dealership. I then checked online and found that the OEM lug nuts that Toyota (along with Ford and Chevy) build their trucks with are the cheap, two-piece lug nuts that easily get beaten up by impact wrenches "battering" the corners. I found that I could purchase a new 'OEM' after-market set of the two-piece lug nuts online for around $31, but I decided to purchase a quality set of solid lug nuts for $105, along with a set of 'flip sockets' to use to wrench-off (using a breaker bar, and not an impact wrench) damaged nuts without rounding-off the corners. I removed (and retained, hopefully as evidence for a class action suit against Toyota and Toyota dealers) the battered OEM lug nuts and replaced them with the new solid, one-piece lug nuts and hand-torqued them to 97 ft-lbs. Think about it - Toyota sells millions of trucks and if they all end up with "swollen" lug nuts at around 150K miles (assuming wheel/tire rotations at 5K intervals), then Toyota and the Toyota dealers end up making millions of dollars by replacing a set of twenty cheap, two-piece lug nuts with another set of twenty cheap, two-piece lug nuts, at $492.50 a pop!!! So while my Tundra has otherwise been (and remains) a great truck, Toyota's use of cheap, two-piece junk OEM lug nuts combined with Toyota dealerships charging $492.50 to R&R the OEM set with another cheap OEM set, has left me pissed off at Toyota and Toyota of Lancaster (CA).

Questions: What makes a business great? Answer: It is the ability to rectify a mistake and going the extra mile to accomplish this goal. It is the fortitude and culture of a business to defend its good reputation by providing exemplary service to its customers. This is why I feel Toyota of El Cajon is a great business. They turned an unhappy customer into a loyal customer for life. For a car dealership, it is truly an extraordinary feat and high standard of ethics. Initially, Toyota of El Cajon made certain statement regarding payment. However, due to low credit score, Toyota Finance charged a higher interest thereby causing the agreed upon payment to go up. Once, the owner of this family owned dealership, Gary Kaminsky became aware of this issue, he immediately took action. Gary, in fact, used his influence and persistence to get Toyota Finance to reverse their decision regarding the rate tier. Gary?s staff and managers work relentlessly with Toyota to resolve this issue. Sales manager, Paul Sphabixay, went above and beyond the call of duty to tenaciously remain involved until the matter was fully resolved. Ross, the sales person was a perfect gentleman and acted as such throughout the transaction. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by the dealer?s steadfastness in making this car buying experience a perfect transaction. I would recommend this family owned dealership to my friends and family for a straightforward car buying experience. Off course, I shall return to this dealership whenever I need a new car.

This is a limited tundra. I really enjoy this third tundra. My 19 wasn't worn out, but was afraid this might be the last of the v-8s. The only concern is the lack of a transmission cooler. It has one now. Our oldest toyota has almost 400k on it now and except for a steering cylinder it's still going strong. This truck won't be any different. It only has 30k miles as of right now,but no rattles or speaks. I drive about 50 miles of rock road a day and this truck is by far the cleanest on the inside of any cars. Toyota makes em right and tight! Thank you toyota!

First of all, all of my thanks in helping me in the matter of repairing my 1966 Rav 4 goes to George Crimmins. He is so patient, soft spoken and so knowlegable. He helped save me money. I took my car in for a light on the dash coming on and to change my oil. Then because of it going to be my only car, I decided to have them do like an over 150,000 mile check-up on it. Well, the light was on because of the catalytic converter.(shock $$$) and needing front brakes. After I got through the shock, they started to work on it. When it was done (so they thought) on the test drive back, the car started smoking under the hood. Another shock! The radiator let go. Now here is the good part on Toyota and George. They installed a new one, FREE of charge, because it happened on "their" watch. Also a rental car was issued to me for one day, but ending up being 4 days being paid by Toyota and George's help too. I also want to thank the manager for oking the free radiator. So overall, I had to spend a lot more money than I thought I would, but Toyota and George saved me a lot and I do so appreciate that!!

My 2021 Tundra is a great truck. I bought a limited. White with black trim. I thought it would be a nice non-descript truck. Well, it also came with duel tuned exhaust. It turns heads. 20" wheels and a black bed cover add to the style. And the black leather seats are tough enough for my dog's nails. My wife has a 2017. We have only changed lights and all the normal maintenance.

I am the proud owner of two Toyotas. Last week I had to bring one of my cars for maintenance to Toyota of El Cajon. I was greeted by service advisor David Anderson, he was very knowledgeable of products he explained everything In details and I got a complementary car wash which my car really needed. The next day I brought my other Toyota for repair and service. I had the pleasure to meeting the General Manager Gary Kamansky he was a very pleasant person and I was treated like a family. I do recommend Toyota of El Cajon for your next purchase or service if you ever have an issue or concern don?t hastate to talk with Gary he will be very glad to talk to you????. I found my dealer of choice for service, repair and next purchase you should give it a try too

Toyota might be behind on tech, but they’re reliable and for a work truck that’s all I need. Yeah it’s bad on fuel, yeah it’s not buttery smooth ride quality. However, all I need is for it to start in the morning and get me to all my job sites carrying a load of people and all my gear. Perfect vehicle!

This is my first vehicle Toyota Camry .. the Manger Marwan was really GREAT .. and Shawn the seals person also .. helpful .

Only had this truck for a week but, I wish I would have bought one long ago. Great all around truck! Solid feel, gives me full confidence. The Toyota reputation also is a selling point. Happy with my purchase.

Great overall buying experience. Very satisfied. Came in prequalified for a loan, and they got me a better deal. Even helped me get a service warranty contract. :)

i have had 3 tundras they are great trucks the best i towed a trailer over 10000 lbs up into the mountains no problems love these trucks

Ali Gaspeed was very helpful and knowledgeable. The dealership was nice and neat. Ali made my buying experience very easy and comfortable. I will highly recommend this dealership to friends and family. Thank you

This is the best truck I've owned. Comfortable and reliable. Has plenty of power when you need it. Also, comforting knowing it is a safe vehicle to drive my child in

Excelente servicio, muy buena atención de Juan Curiel, Encontré el carro que buscaba y mejoraron el precio, muy rápido el trámite Trato amigable y confiable, vendedor recomendado

I own a 2001 tundra, I bought my truck in 2003 when it had 11,000 miles on it. It's now 2023; my tundra has 435,000 miles on her, and she runs like a watch. oil every 3k, stock motor, and trans. I love my truck! Look out million-mile club!

After looking on CarGurus, we saw they had a couple of Acura's at a very good deal. We had the opportunity to work with AJ, who help us out with seeing both, answering all our questions and test driving. After we were completely satisfied with the vehicle, we then talked with Pouria who help us get the best deal and even letting us trade in our extremely used older Acura for much more than we expected! We got through the deal and brought it home. After driving a few days, we noticed a noise with one of the wheels. After calling in they transferred us over to Carlos in the service department who asked us to bring it in and took care of the issue within 24hrs. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good used car, great deal and wonderful people to work with. Thanks a ton AJ, Pouria, and Carlos !!

Purchased as second owner. Great truck, still in great condition. First owner did a great job taking care of it. Carfax information very helpful. Very detailed.

Impact sensor is failing causing that car lose power and prepared for impact. Seems that Toyota and authorities must pay attention and put a recall in place

Michelle Yancy was an exceptional service advisor. She was efficient, responsive and an excellent communicator who kept us informed during the course of our repairs.

Been a GM owner forever. This is first Tundra (2019 Limited) I’ve owned. So far so good. Looking forward to many miles/ years ahead. No complaints thus far.

Jonathan Casselman went above and beyond to help me purchase my new vehicle. He is attentive, patient, and kind. I highly recommend him! The entire buying process was very professional and stress free.

Love my 1794, it’s got more bells and whistles than any truck I’ve ever owned. The 5.7L is a beast and will tow practically anything. The fuel efficiency is not great but xxxx it’s a truck made to work, and being the 1794 edition (Top Dog) in Tundras lineup, I can look good doing doing so. If I wanted a truck for fuel economy I would have bought a four cylinder.

I’m the original owner. I bought this Tundra in Midland, TX in August 2012. Have had nothing but praise for the service I have received, not only from the dealer, but from Toyota financial services. Since I was a two time owner with Tacomas V6, I specifically asked for a Tundra V8. I wanted the power to pull heavy loads, knowing the Tundra is the one. It has over 156,000 miles and it still runs like a new truck.

I had the car I wanted transferred in and from start to end they kept me informed. The waiting period was a bit of a bummer, but knowing that my car was arriving made it worth the wait. Ryan was super he completed the transaction and put us in good hands. We had a minor defect with the windows but Ryan made sure it was taken care of . Overall we were quite pleased. We're definitely getting a second car with them . Lidia

I love my Tundra my only complaint is the stereo system it’s supposed to be upgraded JBL but sound is very weak they should look at Addis Bose to their trucks I’d pay extra for that.

My representative Mckinley was extremely friendly, respectful and made my experience a great one!! Give him a raise!! (^^,) He didn’t skip me for the next person, I am extremely grateful!!

Outdated? A little, but all the bugs and issues have been worked out years ago. Bad on gas? Yes, It's a full size truck. Lack of technology? Yep, not all the bells and whistles, but less to go wrong. Reliable? 100%! I've owned 5 Tundras in the past 20 years and all had over 150K miles before selling. If you look at the actual total repair costs of ALL my Tundras over the years (not maintenance) combined, it is still less than my neighbors one trip to the dealer for his Silverado and then F150. Tundra will run forever. Good resale value? Best in class for a reason.

HAD A REALLY GOOD SERVICE FOR BASIC OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION FOR VOLKSWAGEN. SINCE AUTONATION TAKING OVER BOB BAKER SUBARU ACCOUNT, I CAN SAY THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS REALLY STEPPED UP THEIR GAME. ESPECIALLY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WORKING WITH EVERYONE WAS EASY AND APPRECIATE THE FOLLOW UP IN THE PAST I WOULD HAVE TO CALL BOB BAKER OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR A STATUS UPDATE ON THE CAR WHEN IT WOULD BE IN FOR SERVICE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS I WOULD HEAR ANYTHING SO I APPRECIATE THE CHANGE OF PACE.

I had Ford’s before and really like how solid my Tundra is compared to the Ford. I have the SR5 and it has plenty of power. I, only, wish that it had intermittent wipers. Very reliable and comfortable!

I want to thank Chase for helping me with my purchase. Very kind and professional. Easy to work with! I also want to thank Nicole in Finance for her due diligence with all that paperwork. Your a peach!!
