Our car

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.

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.

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!

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!

Our family has been working with Pablo and his team at Peninsula Automotive for years and I cannot…read morerecommend this business enough! Across multiple vehicles and issues, from routine service and check-ups, to more significant issues like brakes, emission systems and engine maintenance, Pablo has been a great service provider. Clear and frequent communication, transparent pricing and works to find budget-friendly options, always on-time delivery, and just really awesome customer service and car care. As a woman, I've sometimes felt intimidated by dealing with car maintenance issues, but I have always found this business to operate with integrity and respect. I've never felt taken advantage of, or unclear of their diagnostic process. Absolute transparency and care in how they explain the issues and repair options. And you can tell it's a great business by the company they keep. Pablo has always made great recommendations for other service providers when the work is beyond his shop (solid recommendations for tire replacements, auto body work and more)....those providers have been equally high quality and always take good care of the customers that Pablo refers. Bottomline, this is the exact kind of local business you should support. Especially in a business category (automotive) that is expensive and feels tricky to navigate. Highly recommend!

Jorge is THE MOST HONEST AND QUICK mechanic I have ever used. He charges you for parts (at cost)…read moreand labor. That is it! He makes his money from labor and his labor charge is VERY VERY reasonable. I asked him once why he doesn't upcharge and he answered, "I have been a mechanic for many many years for other people and have seen how they treat people. I wanted to open my own shop to help people feel safe and comfortable in their cars! I love the work and helping people fix their vehicles!" He was serious and he proves that to me time and time again with the repairs he does on my cars. He keeps all parts he takes off to show you He buys his parts as at cost through a distributor and does not up charge. If the best is $22 that's what he charges you. He will hardly ever say no to you He is more than willing to examine and 'take a quick look and listen' as a curtosy He was once repairing the button to close the side door of my van, he opened up the other side and noticed that one was looking a little frayed so just fixed it to save me the hassle later but didn't let it affect the labor time. I cannot day enough good about him. His is TRUSTWORTHY AND VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE which in my opinion are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT THINGS YOU WANT IN A MECHANIC! He has me as a customer for life and he knows that. I bring my cars to him for oil changes, even though I can do them myself because I want him to have the business. Nuff said.

I will most definitely return to and refer others to JR Auto Repair! Exceptional work at a fair and reasonable price is very hard to find. I thanked him profusely and let him know I'd bee a repeat customer for sure! Appreciated!

I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today.

Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon. The owner could have listed the additional charge on the groupon website in the beginning to let customers be clear about all the cost.
