After having shopped a lot for FJ Cruisers and finding them overpriced or in bad condition (some in very bad condition coming from the Northeast), we finally bought our 2008 FJ Cruiser from Prius Planet in December 2020. (We had previously returned another FJ Cruiser to another dealership because after a professional inspection, the vehicle's whole frame was rusted out - and painted over - but that is another story.) We test drove the FJ we bought from Prius Planet three times - over a period of a few weeks - before we were finally ready to purchase. During that time, John had added a roof rack and other accessories - but still honored the original price. And was forever patient and kind with us! Attentive, informative, but not hard selling anything. He had all the vehicle history, even though it was coming from out of state, and we appreciated the careful vetting that had been done here on a vehicle type that some other dealers did not do A year and a half later, we still love our FJ. It was perfect and pristine and still runs wonderful. (Folks are trying to buy it now for more that we paid for it then. But, we are not selling.) Thank you, John, for a great experience and a great vehicle. I would recommend your dealership to anyone. :) We love "Buddy" so much, we take its picture too when we go on adventures. read more

Alright. So we drove two hours from LA to check out a car. We were really excited as the pictures online looked almost perfect and it was stated it had one owner and had never had an accident or damage. Low and behold we get there and the car is definitely no where near perfect. Scratches were all over the car. There was clearly a dent on the side that was pulled out and painted over. The interior roof had a hole in it. The logos of the car were sprayed a different color and cracking. One of the tire rims was missing a part which contained the logo. We spoke to John and he acknowledged the less than perfect condition however kept saying that the dent was most likely pulled out and nobody would ever know. He said the same with the rest of the damage. When we opened the trunk there was a long wire that connected to nothing. When we asked John what it was he said "probably a stereo system the owner took out". We then saw there was not a spare tire where the spare tire should be. John responded "oh there is a pump to blow up your tires. That's the new thing." Every bit of damage or things that were less than perfect we pointed out, John always gave an excuse as to why they were that way. We were curious as to if any of the damage would lower the price. John said he wouldn't go down less than a hundred bucks. No, thanks. Not worth the time, the drive, or the effort. Don't be fooled by the pics and stand your ground. Damage is not okay on a used car and ignoring or calling it "unnoticeable" is kind of stupid. We took our business down the road and found the same car in near perfect condition with 50,000 less miles and the same price...surprise. read more

I purchased a lexus ct200h from this dealership. I want to personally recommend Dana Corp because of how John handled my situation. After driving my newly purchased car off the lot, I experienced a bad radio signal. I didn't think too much of it because bad radio signals are common especially if the area you are in does not have strong signal. However, after driving it around closer to home i realized something was wrong. I called up John and told him my issue and he had me bring it back. Immediately, John had a technician try to diagnose and fix the issue but was unable to solve it due to some obscure way Lexus install radio antennas. However, John did not leave me hanging and went beyond and above his expectations by paying for my radio problem to be fixed at lexus dealership. The Lexus dealership wanted to charge a few hundred dollars to fix this issue and the fact that John assured me he would take care of it put me at ease. Most dealerships would never take care of their customers like this and I just want to acknowledge John personally for his wonderful customer service and making things right. John is an awesome person and defnitely gets my recommendation! read more

What a great experience! After shopping around and getting the run around from countless dealerships I came here and met John. He made everything so easy and convenient. He worked with me and provided answers to all the questions I had, no hesitation. I was provided a great car and I just couldn't say NO. Great and straightforward, we are very happy that we met John. It is hard to find honest and reliable person, Especially to the Auto Industry. Thank you very much John! I hope to do business again! I highly recommend This place and experience the beauty of Customer service. read more

Dana Corp. / Prius Planet is in a small storefront tucked into a commercial/industrial center, but it is well worth the effort to find! I made contact with them through CarGurus.com, and dealt with John Alikhani throughout my transaction. My goal was to buy a good used car for my son to replace a similar car totaled in an accident. John was supportive from start to finish, and made sure the transaction was completely "frictionless," including arranging for the logistics of a mechanical check. Oh, and the price we agreed on was a fair one. Five stars! read more

Dana Corp - First photo i took from my new Prius !! I love this car !!! Thank you Prius Planet. - Car Dealers Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

All of the positive reviews you read are very accurate. John is going to be the best salesman you will ever encounter. He is very calm, poised, informative, and treats you like family. I am a first time dealership car buyer and researched every possible way a car salesman can rip me off. John did none of those sleazy tactics. He kept it 100% real and even explained to me how I did not benefit from GAP insurance and an extended service plan due to the year of my car and the manufacturer warranty that came with it. His application fee was very reasonable and there were no hidden fees whatsoever. As you have read in other reviews, his prices are haggle free/non negotiable (I still asked anyways) and priced competitively (you probably already know this if you've done your research). Before your test drive, he will give you a detailed explanation of the different driving modes and what each button is just in case you have never driven a Prius. He will insist for you to test drive the car without him and take your family instead. Even though I read that in other reviews, it really makes you feel like family instead of just another customer. The finance process was very easy and only took 45 minutes. I highly recommend everyone to fill out the finance form on his website. John will call you within 24 hours and explain to your every detail to the penny and APR % so there will be no surprises on the day you decide to purchase. I decided to finance through his third party and I got a better APR than Wells Fargo! This place is truly a gem and deserves to be recognized. One last thing which I thought was amazing, I called John on a Wednesday and asked him if it was possible to save me the Prius I wanted till that Saturday and I offered to place a cash deposit; I was expecting a no, but he gladly said he would hold it for me without a deposit. My mind was blown in the trust he had in me as a buyer. If you are looking for a car and Prius Planet has it, you need to check it out and test drive it at least. I can assure you, the experience will be worth it. read more

Dana Corp - Amazing car from an amazing dealership. - Car Dealers Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

A painless, easy way to purchase a car. I literally called John 5 times between 10a and 1p on the day that I went to get the car. It was complicated because I was also trading/selling my leased vehicle to him. I was skeptical so hence the 5 calls with questions that I'm sure would've annoyed anyone. But John was patient with every single question and was forthright and honest, saving a lot of ill-will and headache on the back end of the deal. I also brought my two kids along. John treated those two like his own! His concern and care for my children while I was preoccupied checking out the car was a strong point in the right direction. I really mean it when I say that I would rather buy a car at a bit higher price as long as the person I'm dealing with is a good, honest person. At Prius Planet, John was that good, honest person but the pricing was very competitive. In fact, it was cheaper than the Carmax's of the world and only slightly more than a private party sale (in which I wouldn't know what I would be getting). Thanks Prius Planet! Will do business again! read more

Dana Corp - Prius Persona Series in Black Cherry Pearl paint. - Car Dealers Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

Jon specializes in Prius's. He is a longtime car dealer with a good story about how he ended up with this very smart niche. Does he make a profit? Yes, of course. Does he seem to have a secret key for making that profit on competitively priced, lightly used Prius's? Yes. I am sure I could have killed myself over months of searching and found a Prius somewhere, somehow for a TINY bit cheaper... But instead I realized that Jon and Dana Corp had nearly every vehicle beating all the other Prius prices I saw around. IMPORTANT SIDENOTE: Jon was totally against the idea of an extended warranty, which is a standardized profit stream for nearly all used car dealers at this point. The fact that he was totally against those from the start spoke volumes to me of his business practices and ALSO, his faith in the great car that I am very happy to own: the Toyota Prius. Thanks Jon, i will recommend you to anyone considering a Prius. read more

WANT TO BUY A SUPER CLEAN PRIUS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS OR ISSUES? THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO IN CALIFORNIA! I'm in sales, and I can tell you that John is extremely customer focused. He wants to make absolutely sure that you know what you are getting, and his insight and professionalism are world-class. No gimmicks or B.S. These guys will take care of you. Integrity is a dying art, but Dana Corp Motors delivers with flying colors. They have earned my business (and referrals) for life. read more

John is the man you should buy a car from Bought 2013 Pruis plug-in and I am loving it Thank you john and definitely I will get my second car from him. Again thank you john read more

We had been looking for a couple year old pruis for a few weeks and when one turned up at Dana Corp we went right in. John was helpful but not too sales pressuring. He'll leave you alone and let you take the car out on your own too. It was kind of nice not to bargain at all. We tried, made a lower offer which he turned down saying he doesn't bargain and then left. We looked at one other new car and then came back the next day and bought it. It was fast painless and assuring to buy from a dealer. We might have looked long and hard to find a better deal but since 2 year old low mileage Pruis's don't turn up every day we decided to just make the deal. read more

I was very pleased with the purchase experience of my Lexus ES 300h. John was very professional and helpful. The transaction was moreso like a friend or family member assisting than a salesperson. I would highly recommend asking for John at Prius Planet aka Dana Corp! read more

Having worked in the auto industry years ago I know that dealers mark up things like the possible cost of vehicle registration when closing the deal. If the registration happens to be less most dealers would then pocket the access as additional profit. Not Dana Corp!!! Out of nowhere we received a check from Dana Corp ( Prius Planet) this afternoon refunding money we paid for our registration. Thank you so much for your upfront honestly and service in an industry that doesn't have the greatest track record!! read more

Don't shop anywhere else but Dana Corp for your Prius purchase! I bought my 2011 Prius from John at Prius Planet (aka Dana Corp) back in 2015 and have had 4 years enjoyment of a great vehicle. John is a no-pressure kinda guy, gave me a fair price on my first Prius (I knew nothing about the hybrid cars but he walked me through everything). I'm still loving my 2011 model but if and when I do want a different Prius, I'll go see John. Also, years after my purchase, I called John for help when I needed a new Hybrid battery, and he sent me to a terrific shop in Costa Mesa who replaced the battery for half the price of other mechanics! Thanks John for all your fabulous service! read more

Is this the new car buying experience? Because if it is... It's AWESOME! John was our person and I couldn't ask for better. I have always avoided dealerships because of the heavy sales pounding a potential client usually gets and this experience was the exact opposite! I recommend to everybody I talk to who is looking for a vehicle to check out Dana Corp and to ask for John! Thank you, John for your help and my little car that I love so much! read more

Well, I came to Prius Planet, wasn't sure what to expect! I knew I wanted a Prius, and being a girl that has only owned Jeeps in the past, I was scared on what to expect! I spoke to John over the phone before I drove there, and he sounded very nice and professional! I drove all the way from San Diego, and as soon as I got off my Jeep, John came out and greeted me! I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed! John's costumer service was outstanding! He was kind, caring, and very professional when it came to my questions and concerns! He made the paperwork and process extremely easy. I came to Prius Planet thinking I would be there all day, I was wrong, I was out of the door sooner than I expected, rolling out with my new Prius! I love my Prius, I get many compliments on it, I've saved a ton of money on gas, and it's the perfect car for me and my Dog! Thank you so much John! read more

Dana Corp - We love our new Prius purchased from Prius Planet! This car is a life changer! - Car Dealers Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I bought a used Acura MDX through John about a month ago. I'm so very happy and pleased with everything. This was my first time buying a car ever so of course I was very nervous. John was so nice and helpful and made this process so simple and broke down everything for me so I fully understood everything!!! He helped me get the correct type warranty for me and there we so manny options it was so nice!!! I was looking for the right car for awhile and when I found the MDX I was so excited. He also let me take it the dealership to get a pre-inspection done on it, and not any places let you do that. He had a really great selection of car that were all amazing looking! Thank you so much John!!! read more

We had a great time buying our 2011 Prius from Dana Corp, the Owner (John) was very professional and informative. After looking at multiple Prius sellers we ended up purchasing from Dana Corp because of how clean their cars looked. They have a wide selection of Toyota's and they are very detailed. Overall, if you want to buy a Prius I would suggest coming over to Dana Corp because of their cars and prices. John was very helpful. I will definitely recommend this place to others! Thanks John read more

Greatest car buying experience ever! John was awesome to work with, he made everything from test driving a vehicle to helping me with financing a very easy, calming & quick experience. I am very happy with my new car and the service Dana Corp provided to me. I would definitely recommend them to others. read more

I have bought many used cars in my life, my experience with Prius Planet was by far the simplest and most pleasant. My daughter found them online and we went in expecting the usual sales shenanigans. To my surprise John is an exception to the stereotype. Once we decided to buy the car, there was no haggle price so that part was great. He didn't try to sell us warranty since the car still had manufacturer warranty. We brought in our own financing and for the first time ever he did not try to get me to use his bank or give us a hard time. From beginning to end he was so professional and friendly, NEVER pushy. We were so happy with the entire experience that a week later we returned and bought another car...this time for my wife. Thanks John! read more

THIEVES!!!!! SNAKES!!!!!!! If I could give zero stars I would do not go here. Purchased a car from here, paid for the title transfer and the dealership stole my tags from the car. When I called to ask them about the tags the guy on the phone was very rude and kept saying that I got a good deal on the car and I should be happy then he kept changing his name from John to Charles to Mark. I paid over fair market price on a basic car that doesn't even have power windows or locks. Then he continued to say that he paid the registration fee, when it says on my receipt that I did and that I should be grateful for him for even putting in the paperwork to the DMV. Horrible customer service and they're thieves be careful. All the good reviews are fake don't purchase a car from here. Buyer beware! read more

One of the easiest cat buying experiences ever! Very insightful & they know their product

The Best car buying experience I have ever had!!! I did not have a good credit score, but needed the car so much. I live in Hollywood and decided to go to Laguna Hills just on my own risk. (I actually thought it was the waste of time), but John was so confident, that he can help me out. And he was right, I drove my new car in about 2 hours. That was very smooth & hassle free negotiation, John explained every detail and was extremely polite and friendly. I love my car, it was in perfect condition and without any issues. I recommend this place to everybody. read more

If only every car dealership was like Dana Corp/Prius Planet. My husband and I were looking for a specific vehicle and Dana Corp stocked it. We walked in on a Saturday morning at 9am and at 11am with a note, test drive and all the in-between the transaction was complete. All hassle free with no sleazy salesman involved. We traded in our Lexus and John took care of all that paper work. He worked with the DMV to ensure an easy transition, we didn't do much after we left his dealership. He took care of it all. Highly recommend John at Dana Corp for your next Toyota. read more

fyi this planet prius/dana corp refuses to report positive on time payments which would increase your credit scores. they only report negatively if you missed payments which i have been on time for 21 months. in my opinion that is not providing your customers with excellent customer service. if i would have known this prior to purchasing a car from them i would have gone elsewhere. read more

Highly recommend! Very friendly and professional staff. Clean vehicles only at Prius Planet. Absolutely five stars all-around.

It really upsets me to see all these falsely reviews,most likely made up by that very quiet employee that John has in the back room. I got a car with a lot of miles on it and based on their description it was well kept. So took it to the dealer to find out that it had not been service for the last 5 years.! So I called John to talk about returning the car and he went CRAZY on all the legalities of the contract. So I still decided to return his car after paying Honda dealer for a very needed tune up and John still charged me for the miles that I drove the car @$1.00 per mile. After doing more research I found out that "his cars " they are bought in an auction so he doesn't know of anything wrong with the used cars that he sells on his storage "dealer ". I really wish this review helps other people before they deal with these crooked salesman, they give you "free ice cream " NOTHING comes free ! Remember if it looks to good to be true maybe what ? read more
