My wife purchased a Prius V from Tony, and yhe car was great, price very fair, and transaction trouble free. Their recommendation for credit union was fantastic, and we got a great rate there too. Nice (but small) inventory of excellent, lightly used hybrid vehicles, primarily Toyota Prius & The occasional Lexus

I bought 2013 Lexus CT 200 hybrid on 10/29/2019 . Customer service is wonderful, honestly to disclose everything about the car, very good price. I strongly recommend to everyone who intends to buy used car, you don’t get lemon after getting out this dealer

I went and talked to the guys down here about leasing a vehicle, they were very kind about it and the process went very smooth. James, who was my agent throughout the process, was a big help to me and I would highly recommend leasing through this dealer if you are looking for a lease.EDIT: Just closed out on a lease here through ecodrive, james was super friendly and very helpful he made the whole experience great, the rest of the staff was also very awesome. The cars were all a very reliable drive. Overall great experience working with these guys.

Extremely recommended business, James was the most helpful auto associate I’ve ever met, he was really nice, clear about the process and got everything done timely and efficiently. I rented a car here for 4 months, and drove it a lot daily since Uber eats is my full time job, with 0 problems. I did the recommended maintenance provided by the dealer and the car ran smoothly. I’ve recommended this place to my own friends and look forward to going back again in the near future, thank you James!

Very excellent customer service. James was a fantastic help with any problems I had. He made sure i felt comfortable leasing the car was very friendly. I was going to lease through another company but James customer service won me over. Highly recommend leasing here.

I leased a vehicle yesterday from Eco Drive and can inform the process was very quick and easy. They are a very professional company and provide exceptional service. I had worked with James and contacted him on Monday, March 22nd, 2021 and was in a very clean and reliable Toyota Prius by March 25th, 2021. They are the best in the business! I highly recommend their services.

This was the quickest and least stressful car leasing experience I have ever had. James was very helpful and knowledgeable when it came to choosing a vehicle. He tried his hardest to make me happy and make sure I got what I want. He was great. He responded quickly to all my emails and text messages and went above and beyond finding a good car at a shorter time. Super happy with my car and with the whole experience.The service and attention to detail is unparalleled. The selection of vehicles and ultimate value for the money is superior to anyone else in the area. This is my first vehicle that I have leased from Ecodrive and it’s where I will continue to shop for outstanding vehicles at outstanding prices.Thank you!Mari

I sold my Prius to Eco Drive and had a great experience overall. I found them through an ad that claimed they could beat the CarMax offer and they easily did. I worked with James, who was extremely responsive and professional. I would recommend James and Eco Drive for anyone looking to sell their car.

Sam Sato gave us outstanding service in the purchase of my daughter’s first car to drive to college. We had been looking for quite a while and had some bad experiences with dealers not returning our calls, selling cars that were promised to us, not keeping us informed, and just plain bad service and dishonesty. Then we discovered Eco Drive and their honest and sincere service. Sam was very honest and up front with us and made the whole process easy and painless. When buying a used car one is always worried that they are going to have mechanical problems after purchasing. Eco Drive gave us a FREE 2 year warranty, which at other dealerships was either not offered or only at expensive prices. This along with the fact that they specialize in Prius and have mechanics check the car over meticulously for you that will warranty repair all problems within 2 years made this a worry free, no brainer purchase for us. They stand behind their brand after purchase which is hard to find even in new car dealerships. If you are in the market for a used car, THIS is the place to go. Thanks Sam!

The most pleasant experience Ive ever had, getting my car fixed. Ryo, the mechanic/technician, is an expert in the true meaning of the word, and James is an excellent manager. I needed to fix the malfunctioning combo meter in my 07 Prius, a problem that 2 previous mechanics are unfamiliar with. With a brief description of the symptoms, Ryo knew exactly what was wrong, and more importantly, how to fix it. Time estimate was 2 hours, and the job was completed with a few minutes to spare. A very pleasant surprise was how clean and organized the entire facility is. It also helped that the charge was very reasonable, less than other shops normally charge, and a lot less than a Toyota dealer would. I live in Santa Clarita, and theyre in Torrance, but Ill definitely drive to EcoDrive all the time for all my car maintenance needs.

James is a superstar. He stayed all the way until 8:30pm and fought for my entire security deposit to be returned back to me during the return process of my vehicle. He defines exemplary customer service and is someone who stands behind his customers. I’ve been to many independent dealerships and have been ignored and dismissed on many occasions. But not with James Spicer. James Spicer is the reason why ECO Drive has experienced a high volume of new customers in the past year. If you need highly-specialized expertise in Toyota Priuses and outstanding customer service, call in to ECO drive, but only ask for James Spicer.

I took my 2012 Camry hybrid to Eco Drive due a mystery power drain to my 12v battery. Eco was recommended by my long time Toyota mechanic. Ryo solved the issue with patience and professionalism. Ryo a great Toyota mechanic.

I had been looking for used Lexus CT 200h hybrid car on the website. Therere numerous cars, but I was anxious about which dealership I should purchase from.After I saw a lot of great testimonials on the Eco Drive website, I asked about the car and quotation to them. Mr.Suzuki immediately answered my question. Since Lexus was not their inventory at that moment, he looked for the car for me and gave me a quotation. Also, he checked car condition and only suggested good condition car.After a few days of quotation, he went to the car auction in the early morning. Then rechecked actual car condition which he quoted. Finally, he won the car at the auction with the price range he quoted. They even checked car condition again in their facility and repair a few minor problems before I picked up the car.Im totally satisfied their service. Theyre attentive, trustworthy and very honest. I dont believe other dealerships can provide the same quality of service as Eco Drive does. I totally recommend Eco Drive if you plan to purchase the car.

We purchased a Prius V from them last month and the entire process was seamless and fabulous. We worked with Kazu and he really took care of us, addressed all of our concerns, and even put the car up on a lift and sent detailed photos so that we could check it out before we drove out from Vegas. Knowing we were already purchasing the car (because we put down a deposit) he still went ahead and ordered a little mat for the console which arrived the day we got there and popped it in for us before we drove away. The entire process was seamless and professional, and little things like the mat really show they care about their customers on top of selling great reliable cars. If you are in the market for a prius I dont think you can go wrong doing business with them. If I am ever in the market to replace this one Eco Drive will be the first place I look! :)

I’ve got my first Prius here back in 2013 and they have been the most generous and cooperative dealer I’ve ever been too. It’s a one stop shop for everything. I even got my catalytic converter stolen and I went around for estimates and they offered the best price out of the 3 other locations I went too. I get my oil changed here for a good price, and any concerns I have they are always willing to help. I recently just purchased my second Prius here as well!

I used it for half a year from summer 2022.[Good points]・Everything from reception to documents is in Japanese.[Bad parts]・If you consider insurance etc., the price will actually be about twice as much as stated.・The $500 deposit was not returned and the service there was the worst.On the day of return, the vehicle was inspected, and although it was found to be OK once, it was determined that there was a small scratch on the second inspection.A small scratch on the underside of the front of the vehicle was pointed out, and it cost $500? When I asked about it, I was told that it would cost exactly $500 to repair.Since there was nothing I could do if they told me that, I accepted their proposal and did not return the deposit.To be honest, I dont know anything about cars, so I dont know the market price. However, to an untrained eye, I couldnt believe that it would cost $500, and the worst impression was that the staff members were secretly talking over each others ears about how to deal with the damage.I wouldnt have thought anything of it if they had done it somewhere out of sight from the counter or if they had talked openly and normally.It will be easier if you pay the deposit knowing that you will not get it back from the beginning.Ive written a lot about this, but I think its convenient to be able to rent a car in Japanese in LA.However, the required insurance fee is extremely high, so it is best to assume that it will cost about twice as much based on the vehicle description.

He was very kind and answered any questions I had. I also liked the wide variety of services they provided to customers, such as DMV registration agency and insurance company introductions. I also thought it was a good point that communication went smoothly because we were using LINE.Prices vary depending on the plan, but I think they are relatively cheaper than other stores. It was a very nice shop that met my needs for renting a car while I was studying abroad for a year.

We especially recommend this place for people who are buying a car for the first time!I have had them help me many times!Searching for a car in Los Angeles can be risky.Where should I buy it outside of Japan instead of here, where after-sales service is perfect? I cant find it!

Review №48

2022-06-14 00:47:18

I used the eco-ride plan. I was able to feel free to consult with him on LINE any time, so I was grateful. Returning the car was very smooth, especially the staff member named James, who was flexible and polite (in Japanese). Thank you!

Its been a while since I returned to Japan, but I suddenly felt nostalgic for California and remembered how much Eco Drive had helped me. When I was studying abroad in California, I was indebted to him for leasing a car. They always responded politely and I was able to rent a car with peace of mind. Even when I returned to Japan, they were very accommodating and very helpful. I would definitely recommend it to my juniors when they study abroad.
