I want to mention Michael Hin, who give us a very smooth and pleasant experience of purchasing our new car. What's the most important is that we have quoted over 15 dealers and this is the only one where we could purchase a new Sienna with no additional charge in Bay Area. Again, we really want to thank Michael.

I got a wonderful experience here @ Putnam Toyota thanks to my salesman Michael Hin. He showed me everything I needed to know about the vehicle I was interested in and I decided to purchase it at the spot. Smooth transaction no haggling. If you want to buy a Toyota look for him. He even got the car cleaned with a full charge for the car. He's the guy to go to. Thanks Michael! I got a wonderful experience here @ Putnam Toyota thanks to my salesman Michael Hin.

Jose Lopez gave us a quote to sell our car. we asked if we can have the quote and he said we can take a picture of it. He later on backtracked on his word and said - sir you can't take a picture of what we quoted you. no apologies. Definitely lived up to the sleazy car salesman vibe. I'll take my business elsewhere ! we were offered 2300 for our car. Kelly Blue book range 7500-10k. Coming in , we wanted to buy a car from Toyota, was willing to go a little under KB range. Drove down the street and got 8500 ; )

Purchased a RAV4 hybrid and the process couldn't have been any easier. AND, it all happened primarily online with Seth Pagel. Working with Seth was great and he is true to his word. From the initial inquiries, scheduling the test drive, making the deposit, etc., he responded promptly and didn't leave me hanging. The initial vehicle spec sheets he shared had more features than I wanted and I let him know that. He found a vehicle in route with my desired/exact build. When the vehicle arrived and it was time to finalize the purchase, there were no unexpected surprises, I knew how much it was going to be. I am pleased with the pleasant and pressure-free experience at Putnam Burlingame.

I had an excellent experience working with Michael at Putnam Toyota. From the beginning, Michael was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very easy to work with. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and answered all of my questions without making me feel pressured. What really stood out was his honesty and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable with my decision. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which is not always easy when buying a car. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a Toyota. If you want someone who is professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his customers, definitely ask for Michael at Putnam Toyota. Great experience from start to finish!

100% best car buying experience hands down! From the first contact to the moment we drove off, Seth was extremely professional, friendly, and most importantly when it comes to car buying, no bullshit. We were from out of state, and although we were disappointed we had to physically travel to SF to sign and take delivery of the car since they do not do out of state deals, I'd say the great and easy experience we had made the travel worth it. Seth even sent us a personalized, detailed video of the vehicle that gave us the confidence and information we needed to place a deposit to secure it before we could make it to the dealership. Thank you Seth and the team at Putnam for making this our best car buying experience to date!

Thank you kuya Noli Bati our 3rd Toyota car! Client satisfied here!

This is actually our 3rd Toyota, and each time we've come back, it's because Noli has just been incredible. He truly understands what we need, not just what we *think* we need. He listens, he guides, and he makes the whole process feel so personal and stress-free. It's like having a friend who's also a car expert, and that's a rare and wonderful thing. With Noli, it's never about just making a sale. It's about ensuring we drive away happy and confident in our choice. He's helped us navigate our car needs with such genuine care, and we couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and friendly approach. Thank you, Noli, for making our car buying experiences so consistently positive! We're absolutely thrilled with our new Toyota.

Great first time experience, worked out a deal with Carlos on an upcoming allocation in the exact configuration, trim, installed options, and interior/exterior color that I was looking for. Carlos was very responsive and provided updates to me whenever I asked or delivery status changed. Once the car arrived, he got everything in order and offered to beat my lender's loan rate. Then, it was off to Ilona to finish up the paperwork and signing. Ilona was also a pleasure to work with, reviewed all the paperwork, including the warranties and protection options. Ilona explained everything in detail and answered my questions/concerns. Both Carlos and Ilona ended up working later than closing because I had arrived a bit late, but I really appreciate their care and attention. Keep up the great work!

Jude (finance manager) was very rude and disrespectful. He was friendly in the beginning and acting all nice. However, when I declined the extended warranty, he became rude and told me that "i hope whoever told you to not get the warranty would help you if your car breaks down". Like it's a brand new car so if the car is gonna break down, then maybe I should not buy it? He turned hostile real quick, me and my wife are just baffled. This guy needs to stop acting like a child. If you are getting a car from here, don't go to Jude. Everyone except him were very helpful and friendly. I still recommend this dealership a lot, that finance manager just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Jose was the best!!!! He made the experience easy and simple. We never felt pushed or pressured to sign up for anything. We basically walked in and walked out with a new car on the same day! He gave us a competitive price that was too good to pass up!!!!

Had an incredible experience working with Michael at Putnam Toyota! We were searching for a Manual TRD Off-Road Tacoma, which is notoriously hard to find, but Michael went above and beyond to track down the exact truck we wanted. His communication throughout the entire process was excellent! He kept us updated with photos and videos, answered every question, and made everything feel effortless. When it came time to finalize the purchase, he got us in and out quickly and handled everything in a calm, professional manner. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful salesperson, I highly recommend Michael. We couldn't be happier with the experience or our new Tacoma!

Enjoyed the easy process I had with Seth Pagel. From taking my deposit over the phone and having the car prepped and ready when I arrived. It was a very quick and easy process. Thanks!

5/5 Stars - Exceptional Customer Service and Outstanding Team Effort!…read more We had an incredible experience working with Ivo at Putnam Subaru! Before heading over, we called to confirm they had the specific car we wanted in stock. When we arrived, Ivo discovered the vehicle wasn't in the lot due to a delay in their computer system update. Although disappointed, I appreciated his honesty, as it clearly wasn't his fault. Since I urgently needed a car for work, we were ready to leave and try another dealership. That's when Ivo stepped up. Instead of letting us walk away empty-handed, he took initiative, settled my family in comfortably with water, and went to work with his manager to find a solution. Within a short time, they tracked down the exact vehicle we wanted and arranged to have it brought over within two hours. We had a family event to attend that evening, but we were happy to wait. While we completed the paperwork, Ivo personally drove out to Fremont to retrieve the car. When heavy traffic delayed his return and threatened our evening plans, the manager offered a lifesaver of a solution: they told us to go enjoy our event, and they would deliver the new car directly to our home later that night--even though we wouldn't be back until 10 PM! On top of that, Ivo delivered the new car and drove back our trade-in vehicle, saving us an extra trip to the dealership. The seamless coordination, teamwork, and genuine willingness to go the extra mile made a potentially stressful situation completely hassle-free. Afterwards, Ivo continued to show great care by helping us schedule our protective coating application and car tutorial appointments. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and am so grateful Ivo was our sales representative. Highly recommend Ivo and the team at Putnam Subaru!

i've been coming to buying from Subaru for years and it's always been a 5 star experiance !…read more Miguel Reyes has been my sales person over the years and he's always gone out of his way to make me feel important. Because he is so great with customers, I'm not the only one who feels this way and he gets really busy with multiple appointments a day, but always makes time for me no matter how busy he gets and provides me with the best service! He follows up with me after every purchase to make sure everything went well and truley cares about me having a special experiance that you just can not find anywhere else . If you don't like the typical car buying experience, with pushy salespeople , and bad practices , I would highly recommend coming to Putnam Subaru and dealing with Miguel . no pressure , great service excellent pricing!

Outstanding Service, Professionalism, and the Fastest Car-Buying Experience!…read more I can't say enough good things about Bryan Nguyen, General Sales Manager, and this dealership! Bryan was extremely professional, responsive, and efficient from start to finish. He expedited my request, made the entire process seamless, and got me in and out of the dealership faster than I have ever experienced when purchasing a vehicle. What really stands out is his ability to respect my time while still delivering an exceptional customer experience. No unnecessary delays, no wasted time--just outstanding service and a smooth, hassle-free purchase. This is actually my second vehicle purchase at this location in just three weeks, which speaks volumes about the level of service and the overall experience. I'm extremely happy with both purchases and truly appreciate the professionalism and efficiency that Bryan brought to the process. If you're looking for a dealership that values your time and a sales manager who gets things done, I highly recommend asking for Bryan Nguyen. He made what can often be a long, stressful process quick, easy, and enjoyable. Exceptional service, excellent experience, and a dealership I would absolutely return to. Highly recommend!

Very disappointing experience. Buyer beware…read more I purchased a used 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance from Ocean Honda of Burlingame on October 10, 2026, and returned it the very next day. After taking delivery, I noticed several concerning issues with the vehicle's exterior, including a hole near the rear wheel well and questionable panel fitment around the rear quarter panel and taillight. These issues made me concerned that the vehicle may have had previous bodywork that wasn't properly explained to me before purchase. Although the vehicle had a clean CARFAX report, that did not give me peace of mind after seeing its actual condition. I expected a dealership to thoroughly inspect a used vehicle and clearly disclose any visible issues before selling it. I exercised my purchase cancellation option and returned the Tesla within approximately 24 hours. Despite how quickly I returned it and the concerns I raised, I was charged a $502.50 restocking fee. I also contacted the dealership's General Manager, Anthony Vu, asking him to reconsider the restocking fee given the circumstances. I followed up with a second email, but unfortunately, I never received a response to that follow-up. I was disappointed that my concerns were not acknowledged by management. What concerns me further is that the same 2023 Tesla Model Y Performance is still listed for sale on Ocean Honda's website as of my most recent check. I don't know whether the dealership has since inspected or addressed the issues I noticed, but I strongly encourage anyone considering this vehicle to have it independently inspected. What should have been an exciting car purchase turned into a stressful and disappointing experience. I also lost time arranging financing, insurance, and transportation, only to end up without the vehicle. I cannot say for certain whether the Tesla had been in an accident, but the visible condition was concerning enough that I no longer felt comfortable keeping it. My advice to anyone considering a used vehicle from Ocean Honda of Burlingame: Have it independently inspected before purchasing, carefully examine the body panels, and make sure you understand all cancellation fees in writing. I do want to acknowledge that my sales representative did a great job throughout the purchasing process. He was professional, helpful, and pleasant to work with. My negative review is not a reflection of his service, but rather my concerns about the vehicle's condition, the restocking fee, and the lack of follow-up from management. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not purchase another used vehicle from this dealership.
