Before purchasing my 2013 Camry SE, I shopped around different dealerships. None of them offered the kind of service Longo did. I stepped into Longo and Tony Hua approached me within minutes to asked if I needed any help. Since I've been looking at the Rav4 already, I told Tony I don't need a test drive and we jumped straight to the numbers. Tony processed some data for my trade in and gave me some numbers on the Rav 4. Even though the numbers did not work out with purchasing the Rav 4, Tony patiently offered me to test drive the Camry.

I test drove the Camry SE in cosmic grey and fell in love with it. Tony through the whole process was very non pressured and straight forward. Tony showed me all the features of the car and really took care of me through the process. All the numbers are in front of you. No tweaking with monthly payments or % apr. If you like the numbers, the deal is done, if not, Tony will try his best to make the deal work out for you. Now I'm cruising happily in my 2013 Camry Se. Not only that, Tony even called me 3 days after to see if I have any questions about my car. Great customer service from Tony Hua. 5 Star!

I've purchased 3 Tundra's, a Tacoma, and a Highlander from Longo. They were able to give me the best deal possible on every vehicle with no hassles. Longo's excellent service department with highly trained staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

Waiting for an express oil change at Longo is a comforting experience with their in house Starbucks coffee stand and their Subway sandwich shop.

Thanks Longo!

I am totally impressed with Longo Toyota including my salesman Tony Hua and my Service Advisor Daniel Carrillo.  In November 2012 I purchased a Prius C Four on my first visit to the dealership. I had been shopping for this car for over a month at other dealerships.

Longo is a first class auto dealership staffed with friendly knowledgeable helpful people.  It is worth a visit to Longo just to see how superb a dealership can be. The campus sized facility is clean, modern and filled with an enormous inventory. They use golf carts to shuttle you around, and it has every customer amenity imaginable. Simply put, this dealership inspires confidence.

Be sure to make a sales appointment with Tony Hua (626-518-2525 cell or tony.hua@longotoyota.com). I got to Tony by luck and I was delighted with his "no pressure" approach. Tony was only interested in being sure I was seeing all of the alternatives and finding the best car for my needs. He was willing to patiently spend all of the time I needed. I test drove a number of cars and when I found the one I wanted we sat down to negotiate the deal. I knew exactly what I wanted to pay based upon my research so I gave Tony my price. It took him 3 minutes to get the approval of the sales manager and there was no haggling. We were all happy and all of the paper work went smoothly taking less than 45 minutes.

Then Tony went above and beyond.  I had a rental car that I needed to drop off in Westwood so Tony drove from El Monte to Westwood, picked me up and drove me back to the dealership so I could drive my new Prius C home!

Finally I want to give high kudos to Daniel Carrillo, my Longo Service Advisor. He also went above and beyond with several service appointments to resolve one post-purchase rattle issue.  He took my complaint seriously and he worked relentlessly over 3 service appointments until he was sure I was satisfied.  This is the high quality service you can expect from Longo that other dealers simply won't provide.

All I can say is that my Longo experience has been truly wonderful.

We have been so thankful and so pleased with our recent vehicle-purchasing experience at Longo Toyota! This has been our best-ever purchasing experience, by far. We spent months searching for a particular vehicle to no avail, and when we found it listed online at Longo and inquired about it, we received a reply very quickly by Fred Williams, Internet Sales Manager of the Pre-Owned Department. By the middle of the day, Fred had given us a quote for the full price of the vehicle including tax, licensing, and fees, so we knew what we would be paying out the door. It was the best price we had found, and I so appreciated knowing exactly what we would be paying in full before we made the 1.5-hr drive to Longo. We normally are not fans of car dealerships because we don't like the snakey feel and the negotiating process, but we dealt with none of that here - we walked in knowing that we had the best-possible price on the exact vehicle that we wanted. When we arrived, Fred directed us to Louie Lopez to show us the vehicle and complete our sale, and Louie could not have been nicer or more helpful. Joseph A. did our final paperwork, and he is just a nice, very funny guy who made the paperwork process enjoyable. We drove off with the exact vehicle that we had spent months trying to buy, but with greater confidence in everything about it since we had purchased it from Longo (and that's saying a lot, because we already have full confidence and extraordinary histories with Toyota trucks!).

I can't say enough about Fred Williams' outstanding service both before and after our purchase. He has treated us so fantastically, and he has checked on us since the purchase to make sure that all is well. I highly recommend Longo Toyota, and specifically Fred Williams and his outstanding team!

Ignacio Vidal was THE best! I have been shopping around to other Toyota Dealerships and by far Ignacio was the most professional, knowledgeable and customer focused than any BY FAR. From start to finish he courted me by giving me information on certain cars and gave his personal opinion. I trusted him and valued his professional opinion. I can't say enough about Ignacio and his passion and knowledge for Toyota. Ignacio took the time to go over everything in my car! He was so knowledgeable about the car and took the time at night to go over everything. Bar none this dealership is the best!

I really enjoy the amenities that the dealership has to offer. Toyota is a very respectable brand and I believe the dealer lives up to the image. I was very proud to purchase my Toyota from Longo. They have received numerous awards for a variety of reasons, primarily for being exceptional. I am very satisfied with the people who work there, from sales to service to porters to subway staff. They are all sincere, and genuine (from my experiences obviously).

I've been here a handful of occasions for service and it's a behemoth to undertake. Its looks like an enormous factory or 5 story parking lot; it's crazy big. They sell lots of cars and service lots of cars. I've always felt that once the sale has concluded, there's no real effort to retain the customer's business. But at Toyota Longo the service is on point and there's some pretty nice things to do while waiting. For instance, they have a Subway, Starbucks, WiFi station to charge your laptop or iPads, a couple flat screen TV's, and a kid's play area.

I recommend calling in advance and making in appointment. Even if you're already driving there. Upon arrival, they write your appointment time on the windshield and they make it a point to attend to you immediately. 

Give this place an opportunity to earn your business, you won't be disappointed.




Fairely Family writes on their SEVEN vehicles purchased at Longo:








Currently, we have two high school seniors graduating this year both wishing to select their first cars soon at Longo Toyota as well. Thank you for your continued high level of service and commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. We have enjoyed our favorite Starbucks treats or Subway sandwiches while waiting for our vehicles and have always received a warm hello and smile from the Longo staff. It is for that reason, we will remain loyal Longo Toyota members. Thank you!

Went in with my husband kind of already disappointed thinking that we were not going to purchase a car. Once we talked to our salesperson Tony Hua, he changed everything! He asked me to look into the Prius so we test drove it and it was good but all in all I went in looking for the matrix! So, Tony helped us get everything situated and helped us finance in an affordable price and we couldn't be happier! Drove off with a full tank of gas, a smell of a clean car, and an overall GREAT experience! If you're looking to finance or even just lease a car I recommend going to Longo Toyota. I already told others waiting for their perfect time to purchase a car to head over to Longo.

5 stars for the service we received from Patrick Ng and Grace Shei. They were really good when it came to negotiating. Service was excellent. They were kind and courteous and made sure I was aware of what I needed to know. This is our 5th or 6th car here over the past ten years and we love it here! We know where to go next time for the next one. Would not hesitate to recommend.

First of all this place is huge! If you are looking for a specific car, they have it. It feels and looks like an airport when you first walk in. There is a Starbucks, a Subway, and a vending machine with burritos! There are 2 kid areas for the little ones to play and watch Cars 2 over and over. I was there with my 1.5 year old, so it was much appreciated. We were lucky enough to have Alex Liukimson as our sales guy. He was great! Super friendly and helpful and gave us an amazing deal. I am so happy with my new car! While buying a car can be a pain, he really made the whole experience bearable :) I really couldn't be happier. I'll be back the next time I need a car :)

I would like to take the time to personally thank Joseph in Finance and Neil in used car sales. I was able to walk off the lot with my dream car a used 2010 Venza. This car has all the bells and whistles! Neil took his time with us being that had my two you children who were very impatient. I was able to get a great APR thanks to him and Joseph who was great at making us feel like we were at home verses inside a huge dealership! Great hospitality from the Toyota family and I am more than ecstatic that I am part of the family now! My recommendations for these two gentlemen are more than words can express!!! Heaven sent!

This was the most pleasant experience in the purchase of a car I have ever encountered, and it started with Steven Hess. I basically knew what I was looking for; however, Steven showed me every Venza he had on the lot just to be sure. The basic price was the best in Southern California (even beat Costco pricing) and the money that I got for my trade-in was fair and accurate (I had done my homework). The folks that handled the actual financial transaction were friendly and professional and everything was completed in a timely manner. We were even offered Starbucks coffee while we waited for them to evaluate our trade-in and get the paperwork going.

The most amazing thing of all is the after purchase follow-up from Longo. I have never been contacted so much by any dealer just to invite me back for dinner and to see how everything was going with my new Toyota. They even sent someone out to my house to assist me with all the electronic features of the car.

I definitely recommend Longo Toyota to anyone looking for a new car, and most importantly, Steven Hess!


  Guest Dan H. writes about how Longo made   
  his vehicle purchase memorable:









I bought my 1985 Toyota Deluxe ExtraCab from Longo Toyota on October 6, 1984. This vehicle was fresh off the ship from Japan. I was in the Marine Corps stationed at 29 Palms and desperately needed a new vehicle.  My wife and I had the good fortune to stop in at.

I wanted to buy a new truck but needed one that would last me for at least 10 years. While we lived in California, I always brought the truck to the Longo service department because I loved the way I was treated. 28 years later and my truck still runs great. We moved back to Indiana in 1987 so the Midwest winters have been a little rough on the body and bed of the truck but the engine has always run like new. 

The only repair work I have ever done is replacing the clutch after about year 15 and a little carb work that was very inexpensive. I have repainted the truck a few times over the years and just gave it a new blue paint job for its birthday that returned it very close to its original color. 

When we moved back to the Midwest, it pulled a U-Haul trailer from Los Angeles to Cincinnati. No matter what I have put it through, it has always kept running great. It only has 148,000 miles on it because it has been a third vehicle for about the last 15 years so it doesn't get driven a lot of miles each year any more. 

It has been a great truck and I don't want to give it up. I am still married to the same woman that walked in the door of Longo with me back in 1984 and I'm still driving the same truck we left your dealership with that day. Thanks for helping out a young Marine without much money and for making our first vehicle purchase together a memorable one.

 Christina C. writes about the way Longo restored her 
 beloved Toyota Celica, named Chiquita:
 






Dear Longo Toyota family,
I am writing you to thank you for all of the quality hard-work that each and every one of you does every single day. In 1980, my grandmother purchased her first car and she came home with a 1981 Toyota Celica. We later named the car Chiquita because the car was rather petite and the bright yellow paint is reminiscent of a certain tropical fruit (banana)!  

In my teenage years I got to drive the car and they told me if I took care of the Celica it would probably out last us all. Chiquita is the car I learned to drive in, it is the car I took to college, and the car I took on my first date with my future husband.

Fast forward six years, I moved to the bay area for law school. As a graduation gift my mother restored my 1981 Toyota Celica and she is better than new! Longo Toyota did the most wonderful job fixing my Celica. 

I plan to have this car forever, no one else is allowed to drive it and no one but Longo Toyota can work on it. Thank you for being a part of my family history.
