Customer Testimonials
One of the best humans you will ever meet who happens to sell Toyotas. Steve went out of his way to accommodate my wife and I coming in on his day off so he could meet my wife and shake our hands. Truly genuine guy & man of his word. They need to make a new scale for Steve because 5 stars isn’t enough. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My visit to Hamer for service was great! I had an appointment for regular maintenance. When I got there I was immediately greeted. My service advisor, Manuel Leon, was very friendly and helpful. He listened carefully and answered my questions. He provided free Uber trips to and from the dealership. My service was completed on time. Everything went smoothly. It was nice doing business with Hamer Toyota.
Steve absolutely rules. No xx whatsoever, he made the whole purchase process genuinely easy from start to finish. He also locked in the best price I could find in the area (and possibly the state — I did call some NorCal dealerships just to make sure). Even though my exact vehicle wasn't in stock, he was able to secure it on order and kept me in the loop the whole time as it was being built and shipped. Can't recommend working with him enough!
Steve is attentive and keeps things as stress free as possible! We are returning customers and will continue to work with Steve in the future.
I met, liked and trusted Steve instantly. He is honest and upfront, no haggling, he worked on a price and deal that I couldn't refuse.
Steve was very communicative about a Highlander that I wanted that just came onto the lot. He made sure to get it detailed as soon as possible to show me, and handed the deal off to a co-worker once he clocked out. His price over the phone was honored without any haggling. Thank you for the seamless experience!
Steve made the process easy and simple! Making the customer service go beyond amazing! I highly recommend people looking for Steve if you’re trying to purchase a new vehicle!
Hammer Toyota is fortunate to have Steve partnered with them. Incredible experience!!! He knows his products but knows how to treat customers best. Thank you, Charles
I’ve continued to return to Hamer Toyota because of Steve Denson. I’ve leased three vehicles through Steve, and every experience has been nothing short of excellent. He is honest, efficient, timely, and always treats his clients with professionalism and respect.
What I appreciate most is that Steve makes the entire process smooth, transparent, and stress-free. He genuinely values his clients, communicates clearly, and follows through on everything he promises. In an industry where trust and service matter, Steve consistently delivers both at a very high level.
I truly look forward to continuing to work with him for all ... Read More DealerRater - May 12, 2026
Steve made the process so easy. This was our second vehicle that we got with him. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, His people skills are outstanding. The connection and the human part of the process is the most important, the product is secondary even though we love our new Rav4. Oh and we love his quotes in his office. Positive altitude, great representation of Hamer, The financial agent made also everything painless. In general was an outstanding experience. We will come back again and again. Miriam and Felipe Reyes
Steve is amazing to work with. We had a special circumstance to where we weren't able to drive to hamer toyota. Steve graciously offered to drive the car to us, which saved us time and effort. What I liked about Steve was he never played games with us. He was transparent, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. Best of all, we didnt have to spend the whole day stuck at rhe dealership. Will happily use him again. Thank you Steve!
Steve and Hamer Toyota staff were friendly, honest, informative, and provided exceptional care towards me and my family. Steve made me feel comfortable and extremely satisfied with my purchase that we were getting the best deal around. This is the place to go for transparency and a smooth process. Worth the wait in getting exactly what we wanted.
Steve Denson has been my dedicated salesman for at least 2 decades, l've bought 4 or 5 vehicles now, and referred family and friends to him.
Even though l live almost 200 miles away, l drive all that way, because only want to work with Steve, and also prefer to service them at Hamer.
I completely trust Steve and trust his advice, usually l just call him up, say which vehicle l want, and before l know it, it's there!

Leasing a car with Steve was such a great experience! He is honest and transparent with pricing, easy to reach and gave us updates throughout the entire process since we pre-ordered the car. Would definitely recommend him!
Thank you Steve for all your help and making the transition simple and smooth. Thanks for showing me all of my options and updating me daily on when my new car would be arriving. Loving the new rav4!
We ended up at Hamer Toyota after seeing a message about a vehicle we were interested in. When we called, we were connected with Steve Denson, who immediately invited us to come by and take a look.
The vehicle had just arrived and wasn’t quite ready for sale, but Steve kept us informed and reassured us it would be ready soon. Not long after, we got the call, and everything was exactly as he promised.
From start to finish, Steve made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and, most importantly, honest. He was transparent throughout the process, which made us ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 20, 2026
Steve, this is really just a letter to you. I've worked with several dealers, ranging from 8 to 11 hour deals but you were just phenomenal. I leased a 2026 Toyota Sienna yesterday whilst turning in my Honda Odyssey that had a minor accident and honestly I was worried about how it would turn out.
Steve was completely transparent with the rates, how much they would pay me for the odyssey, my credit score and the whole spectrum. This man is a man of integrity.
Steve, thank you for letting me get my new car in such a speedy transaction and being ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 5, 2026

Steve has helped 4 of my family members but a car and he is not like the rest! He’s very honest and helps cut the xxxxxxxx!
Hugo “Juice” Acosta has been great to work with when getting my cars. I recently met Oscar Padilla and he is very personable as well. Great conversation, transparent transactions always. I will be back to back any future cars here.
I’ve grown up in the car business and Steve was better than advertised. Thanks
I had an incredible experience at Hamer Toyota! I arrived at 11:11 AM and was immediately greeted by Steve Denson with a warm, professional smile. He was amazing with my fiancée and our 2-year-old daughter. Steve took us straight to our new 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid in Sonic Silver.
Since I was so excited I could barely speak, Steve took the lead! He drove us first to give a masterclass on the new 2026 Hybrid features. Once I took the wheel, he coached me through the street and freeway drive until I felt like a pro. We were back in his office ... Read More DealerRater - Feb 20, 2026
I witnessed nothing but HUSTLE and honesty, helped other customers in between me, and made me feel confident on my choice! First time car buyer! Love you Steve! Can't thank you enough!

It was great experience working with Steve at Hamer Toyota! Steve was very straightforward with us and we felt he made the process so easy and smooth. He also has so many years of experience at Hamer that we would definitely recommend going with him in the future!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Steve. From start to finish, the process was refreshingly honest and transparent. Steve went above and beyond to provide clear communication and genuine help finding the right car for our needs. Every question was answered patiently and truthfully, which made us feel confident and comfortable. It’s rare to find a car salesman you can truly trust, but this is one of them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free and straightforward car buying experience!
I’ve been taking my Toyota in to get serviced here for years. The service riders are always very friendly and professional. They always provide excellent service and take the time to break down any costs and answer all my questions. Their service manager, Carlos, always goes above and beyond for any service and maintenance concerns.
Meeting Steve was the best experience of my life. Such a life changing event getting me into a beautiful vehicle. Making this purchase was blessing with excellent customer service, great communication and the feeling of satisfaction when he surprised me with my used 2024 Subaru Impreza. Beautiful, stylish, financing within my budget and an absolute dream come true to work with an amazing person that cared about my needs and what would best for me, my family and my budget.

We visited several dealerships and considered multiple vehicles, but the moment we met Steve Denson, we knew we had found the right person. His professionalism, courtesy, and genuine concern for our needs and preferences were truly unmatched. That approach gave us added confidence that his pricing was fair and transparent, and that we were getting the best possible deal. Steve has spent his entire career with Toyota, and it’s easy to understand why so much of his business comes from repeat customers and referrals from their friends and families. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for their ... Read More DealerRater - Jan 10, 2026
Steve is an amazing guy and very helpful! Our entire lease process was easy and there were no crazy surprises. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to come home with a car but he made miracles happen for us and we’re super thankful!
Steve was great from the moment I met him. He found the 4Runner I wanted and made the purchase an awesome experience!
Steve is an awesome salesperson! I’ve bought several cars from Hamer over the years and never met him before. He made the process very easy and found me the right car I was looking for. Best experience so far when walking into the dealership.
Steve Denson is definitely a TOP salesperson! Ladies (and gentlemen) if you want to buy a vehicle, Steve is the MAN!!! As a female entering a car dealership, it can be intimidating, however with Steve, your experience will be of utmost respect, transparency and honesty! His unassuming demeanor will guide you along the way and patiently answer your questions. When it comes down to the price of the vehicle, it's a breeze, no going back and forth to get a mangers approval. My decision to purchase my vehicle was within a few hours of this pleasant experience. His professional ... Read More DealerRater - Dec 8, 2025
Steve was a pleasure to work with when purchasing my new truck. He was prepared to answer all of my questions and provided exceptional service. When making any big financial decision, it is very reassuring to have a sales representative who is honest and trustworthy. Steve operates with an incredibly high degree of integrity and would recommend anyone looking to purchase a vehicle through Toyota to contact him.
I purchased my vehicle with Steve Denson on Saturday, that same evening I recommended him to the waiter at our celebration dinner. My wife and I purchase cars rarely, and to be frank the experience can suck. The journey to get our new car was long and grueling, but thankfully it ended with Steve. With other salesman, there were numerous visits to lots, runaround conversations, false deals and annoying text. Then in one magical phone conversation, Steve ended my search, found the car I wanted, gave me the deal I was looking for and won my loyalty. Other dealers tried ...

Steve was a real class act. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Very pleasant experience
There are some experiences that leave you feeling seen, heard, respected, and cared for. Walking into a dealership knowing that you’re about to spend a substantial amount of money can be an unsettling, and frankly terrifying, experience. Not with Steve Denson. Steve has taken the practice of selling cars and transformed it into live art. The amount of security I felt having Steve walk with me through this process is indescribable. Not only is Steve personable, genuine and knowledgeable. You can really tell that he is dedicated to providing an exceptional and memorable experience. He was fair, he was ...

Alex was absolutely the best to work with. He helped us get my father in law into a brand new and sporty car and he is so happy with the car. Alex really shined and got us through the tough decision making process and directed us with ease. If anyone is looking for a car and doesn’t want to deal with some salesman that is pushy or trying to trick you then Alex is definitely your guy! He is honest and hardworking so give him a shot!
10/10 customers services! Steve made the process of buying a car super easy. Was always 100% transparent about the whole process. Treated us like family.
I buy 2-4 cars a year. Hammer is going to be my first stop in the future. No b.s., no games. I’ve never bought a car sight unseen, I did with this purchase. My salesman, Steve Densen is why. I applaud Hamer for allowing Steve to do his job.
I bought my Toyota with Steve’s help, and the whole process was completely hassle-free. He was professional, patient, and made everything super easy from start to finish. I felt supported the entire time and never pressured. If you want a smooth, stress-free car-buying experience, I definitely recommend working with Steve!
The experience I have with Hamer Toyota is being great so far. I appreciate it
Steve is truly the best! If I could, I'd give him a rating above 5 stars. He has been helping our family with Toyota purchases and leases for many years now, and whenever we need a new car, he's the only person we go to. Today we have happily leased a brand new beautiful blue 2026 Corolla SE, and it was all thanks to Steve's hard work. We would not have been able to do it without him! Steve is both an excellent salesperson and a genuinely wonderful person. He is not one to push anything onto you or ... Read More DealerRater - Nov 15, 2025
He is an amazing person and an outstanding salesman. You need to make your employees train with him because he's so nice, carring and very honest. Will be going back to home only
I called to just check on maybe leasing a truck. However after speaking with Steve he made everything seem effortless He’s a genuine person. No fast talking or bait and switching He’s a guy who holds true to his word. Couldn’t be happier with our experience. I’m recommending him to everyone I know.
Overall, excellent service. Vehicle service usually very good. Recent purchase experience exceeded expectations throughout the transaction process.
The guys at Hamer Toyota always take good care of me every time I come in especially Alex Flores and Steve Denson. Great people to do business with.
I've never felt such ease and care in a car purchase. Steve is honest, supportive and effective. You couldn't find a better person to buy a Toyota from. Thank you for everything, Steve!
Steve is great to work with, very transparent and knowledgeable! Recommend him to my friends and family.
we had the best experience with Steve! We were referred by a family member and within a month we had our car. Steve’s communication, transparency, and friendliness were what kept us with him - despite being offered a later model from another dealership! We’re excited for our new car and can’t wait to go back to Steve if we ever need another one!
Steve was absolutely fantastic throughout our 2025 Sienna purchase. From the moment we placed our order, he was super communicative — constantly keeping us updated while the vehicle was being built and during delivery. His friendliness and easygoing personality made the whole process stress-free; I felt completely comfortable talking with him, unlike many other salespeople I’ve dealt with in the past.
He was also very transparent about pricing and options, and genuinely worked to get us an amazing deal. I never felt pressured — just supported and informed every step of the way. If you’re thinking of getting a new Toyota, ... Read More DealerRater - Oct 17, 2025
Steve Denson - we have worked with Steve since the lease of our first new Camry in March 2000 and then in 2003. We then bought our 2002 Sequoia from Steve and it is going strong coming up on 300K miles! My daughter bought her 2017 Camry from Steve and my brother and his family have bought all of their Toyotas from Steve.
The first word that comes to mind with Steve is INTEGRITY.
I am not an easy customer and my wife hates the car buying process and would only do it with Steve.

I have purchased several vehicles from Hamer Toyota. Each time everyone I have dealt with was professional and honest I had great experiences and would recommend to anyone.
After reading some of Steve's reviews, I see that I am not unique! He is such a great guy everyone wants to work with him again and again. In 2004 I got lucky and got Steve as my sales person. He listened to me list what I wanted and then took me across the street to a brand new 2004 Sienna. I drove that car until last week! I had such a great experience with Hamer I thought I go back to get another car. I was so surprised to find Steve still there and he remembered me and what he ... Read More DealerRater - Sep 26, 2025

I had an amazing experience at Hamer Toyota!! It's been years since my family owned a Toyota, and meeting Steve made the whole experience enjoyable.

I did my research and found Steve. He was great! He was able to find the vehicle I wanted to my specifications. The whole process was easy peasy. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new vehicle.
Loved, loved, loved our Tacoma truck buying experience with Steve! He found us exactly what we wanted! This is the third car we’ve bought with him. Every time he’s made the experience extremely enjoyable, is always upfront and treats us like a million bucks! If you’re looking for a car, there’s ONLY one car sales person we’d recommend every time…Steve Denson!
I am very happy with the service Steve gave me. He came recommended and he didn’t fail. Thank you Steve for giving me the offer I was looking for.

I had such a great experience working with Andy at the Toyota dealership! He made the whole car-buying process so easy and stress-free. Andy helped me get a really good price on my car and made the experience fun along the way. He was patient, honest, and never made me feel pressured. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about helping you find the right car, I definitely recommend asking for Andy!
Steve was so amazing! If you ever need a car, please go through him. He made our process so easy and so worthwhile. Can’t recommend anyone else for your car needs!
Steve was very honest, friendly, and transparent. Working with him was a pleasure very quick and easy to the point. Would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
Best dealer BY FAR out of the 10 or so I have purchased vehicles. My sales agent Steve Denson was super effective and a true professional, no pressure to add on at the finance office, and the service people were helpful, accurate and went above and beyond in every way. These people are all top notch
Steve is absolutely incredible! We’ve been looking for a used car for a few months now and nothing has stuck, but we got lucky and found something with Hamer Toyota. I’m not sure we would’ve walked away with a car without Steve He’s so kind, incredibly dedicated, and made sure we were taken care of through the entire process. He really listened to exactly what we needed and made sure we walked away with a truly fantastic vehicle. So grateful to him!
Steve is a very trustworthy dealer! He was very thorough in his explanation of my options, and patient when I had questions. He was very transparent and friendly!
Steve was so great! He knew what we wanted and respected that. He is all about honesty and we appreciated it. Looking forward to sharing his information with other family members who will be heading his way.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Steve was kind, incredibly helpful, and put us at ease. At no point did I feel like I was being pushed towards something I didn’t want or need. Steve made it so easy and I’m very happy. We’ll definitely be back in the future.
We've now bought 4 cars from Steve. The reason we come back is because it's just so easy. He's a friendly, easy going guy that gives us useful information when where trying to figure things out, but it's pushy. I'm sure we'll be back for our 5th.
Steve made the whole process of car buying easy and seamless. He was able to get me the exact car I wanted at a fair price with no mark-up, and it is obvious that he knows the business like the back of his hand. He’s honest, knowledgeable and just a cool guy. I would send anyone in the market for a Toyota to Steve Denson at Hamer.
Steve was very knowledgeable , helpful, honest and straightforward. I appreciated his help and patience with all of my questions.
Steve D is the man! Honest and a true professional. Truly just wants the best for you as a person.

Wouldn’t buy a car from anyone else.
We were once again in the area for a truck. We decided to hit up Hamer. We typically use internet sales as its always in and out and connected with Elies in sales.

We went through Hamer Toyota for our new Sienna. We had Steve Denson as our main sales contact and he took care of every question and concern. Great experience!! Highly recommend Steve and Hamer Toyota
Steve is amazing! Truly a good person and it shows through his customer service. He helped me over the phone as we are 75 miles away. Was very tentative and on top of everything. Then I had to send my 71yr old father in alone and Steve took great care of him throughout the transaction. Very thankful for his service and appreciate all he did for us.

Great service! Our sales guy was amazing and helpful. Thank you Andy! Much appreciated! 5/5
I recently purchased a vehicle and had the pleasure of working with Mr. Adam Ullah, the finance manager at Hamer Toyota. I can’t say enough about how smooth and stress-free he made the entire process. From start to finish, Adam was professional, transparent, and incredibly efficient.
He took the time to clearly explain all my financing options, answered every question with patience, and ensured I felt comfortable with every step of the transaction.
