Four years ago I bought my car from Longo. I went looking at five other Toyota dealerships around L.A., and couldn't stand the high-pressure, icky sales tactics. Longo was zero-hassle: I came in with invoice price I wanted to pay, test drove the car, and walked out a couple of hours later. One month later, some fool ran a red light and smashed into me. After the insurance was settled, I went back and Longo sold me another car at below invoice - again, no hassle. If I buy Toyota again, I'm definitely coming back here.

I've brought my car here a couple times for scheduled maintenance. First time was on a Saturday, and I don't recommend bringing it that day since there was already a long line of cars to be serviced when the the service shop opened! I told the service rep to call me when my car was ready. Unfortunately, they didn't. Second time around, I arrived around 4:20pm and there was hardly a wait for my oil change. It was done in half an hour and it was pleasant hanging around the lounge watching tv and there's free coffee and cookies there too! This time someone over the speaker said my car was ready. It is a little more expensive to get a regular oil change here than at Jiffy Lube, but I like getting my scheduled maintence at the dealership. And they usually send you coupons for service discounts.
PROS: nice lounge, fast service
CONS: long wait on Saturdays, more expensive for oil changes, so-so customer serv

Their 1.50 deal is great! I see all my high school friends from the past there getting their new cars washed! Great place that attracts many people because of their top notch service. You can have a good complete car wash done within 15-20mins. They have plenty on the staff and are always waiting for the next customer to assist. Great teamwork and service!

best price, i researched. Kev is very personable and sociable. I didn't even notice the 1/2 hour fly by because he kept telling me funny stories. I was here 3 years ago for a smog check and I think I was charged the same price.

This place is right next to Longo Toyota and its very easy to find. This is the place where my 4th uncle and my aunt's husband got their car. Both of them go their car at the same year and at the same place. The first person to buy a Lexus was my 4th uncle and he like the service and told my aunt's husband so he went and buy one too. Thats how much they like this place. I place is just for lexus and they have a lot of different kind of lexus.

If you live in this area, you definitely should go to this place to do the oil change. The price is unbelievable low. The price range is from 8 to 12!!!They have lots of mechanics, so you don't need to wait for a long time. They finished my car in 10 minutes and only charge me for only 10 bucks! This auto shop is easy to find. It is at the intersection of Baldwin Blvd and Lower Azusa.

Went to the dealership's service center the first time to do a routine service oil and filter change. They are very organized. You get into line with your car and a preliminary checkpoint person asks you what your problem is/what you're there for/if you have an appointment, then places a number on top of your car. Within a minute or so, the main person comes and takes down your problem and does a quick outside overview of your car speaks to you and you repeat to them what you told the first person. They tell you what to do, most likely "turn off your engine, and leave your keys in the car", then have you follow them to their station and they get all your info to be inputted into the computer. Print you a receipt, etc., all the paperwork. Very friendly and helpful. Then they tell you how long the wait will be and when to hopefully expect a call, etc.
They have a service center/waiting area with a Starbucks and Subway. Also, their accessories store is in there too. Along with the cashier and guest services. The best thing is they have complimentary shuttle service as long as you're within they're 15 mile radius. Just go to guest services and they'll tell you the details. You have an option of either being brought home and back. Of course, they warned me that bringing me back may take longer (waiting time wise). Or you can be brought to the West Covina mall and shop until they let you know your car is ready and they'll pick you up. Lastly, you can ask to go to the El Monte Edwards Cinema and I believe they give you movie tickets. For all these complimentary services they do pick-up and delivery.
It's a very nice atmosphere. Didn't know dealerships could have such a nice and accommodating service center that is efficient and organized.
It has a lot of business and according to their website has been in the news and received some good reviews. Quite surprised with my first experience in their service center. Since, I really don't like going to dealerships to deal with buying cars. Never feels friendly and just wants your money. I usually check out the service centers and they're all okay. So, I was a bit wary about going to this dealership to use their service center. This one by far has been the best.

This tire place do carry a good selection of tires. Even if they don't have it in stock. Their turn around time is usually half a day or a day. For people who are Faulken's tires fans, this place do have a good selection in stock. For my camry, I replaced the 4 tires (size: 225/50/17R), with Sumitomo HTR + (Z rated) . All together, with the disposal, balancing, 4 wheel computerized alignment, new metal caps, and taxes, I paid $580. I waited at the shop for about a hour to get the job done.
PROS: Fast turn around time to get the tires needed
CONS: small waiting area and not so comfy

I was referred to Scotty's by a friend when I needed brakes at the last moment. I had family in town and had put off getting my front brakes replaced until my car was basically undriveable. I called Scotty's on a Friday afternoon at about 2pm and they squeezed me in and had my car done by 5pm so that I could make a family dinner at 6. The prices were reasonable, the service was thorough and friendly and they didn't make me feel as though they were put off by my last minute request. In addition, they gave me detailed instructions as to how to register my brake pads online so that the next set ($90) is free.
I won't get brakes anywhere else as long as I am living remotely near Scotty's.

OMG this is the place where you should go when you want to buy a Toyota because most of the Chinese around this area go to that place and buy their car. They have a lot of new and used car. The thing is that want you cant to buy the car you can always talk to the seller and he will lower the price a little. At this place they have all kind of Toyota. The people in my family that drive a Toyota got their car from this place.
