We have been buying cars for Steve for almost 20 years. You know when you go in, youāll get what you want for the price you need to be.
The dealership was supportive, honest, and efficient helping me secure my very first reliable car.
Great service. It almost felt that I got my car back as soon as I left it with them.
My experience with Steve has been phenomenal. I'm writing this some time after my purchase was finalized but even after the dust has settled I can't stop raving about how quick, easy and hassle-free the process has been. I had previously shopped around multiple dealerships who gave me the run around, and always left me feeling guarded and like I was about to make the worst financial commitment imaginable. Steve on the other hand didn't use use any part of my situation as leverage. He used it as a simple fact. He looked at the numbers and ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 30, 2025
Oscar was fantastic! Worked with us to give us the best price and made the purchasing process easy and fast!
I was looking to upgrade my car and I went to Steve at Hamer Toyota and he was amazing. The process of reserving the car prior to its arrival to the dealership was easy. Once at the dealership Steve helped me decide between a lease and buying and explained all the pros and cons of both. Buying a car can be stressful but Steve made the process easy and enjoyable. I am loving my car and will be sending my friends and family to Steve at Hamer Toyota.
Steve is the best! He is extremely affable, has integrity, is honest, patient and doesn't play "games" (like I've had to deal with prior to him). He works to get you the best deal from the get go. No hard sell or shady negotiating tactics. I ALWAYS recommend him to anyone I know that is looking for a car.
It was the vest car buying hassle free experiance. Customers service was the greatest. They make you feel part of the family, I recommend Steve to enyone interested in buying a great Toyota.
Steve is the go to salesman moving forward. He is immensely honest, friendly, and knowledgeable. As a first time buyer, Steve made the process easy and simple, informing me of every detail of the process. An added plus is how customer oriented he is in making sure I was updated every step of the before picking up the car, and in making sure I left with a smile on my face while driving away in a new car.
Andy Mangona made the buying process easy and smooth. He was knowledgeable and helped me find the car for my needs. He was transparent and did his best to accommodate me and my family.
The dealership is clean in itself. Great people in there and a big selection of cars and trucks. Some high prices for nice cars and trucks but also some killer deals. I enjoyed the experience. The cream of the crop there is a salesman named Andy Mangona. Stellar dude. He stayed with us from first to last minute. I know that's his job but it wasn't about "making the deal" for him. He legit wanted me to have what I wanted and he went out of his way over 8 hours helping me to find what I ... Read More DealerRater - Apr 8, 2025
I was interested in purchasing a vechile. Contacted the dealership and got a text from a salesman. We exchanged some questions, and then he disappeared. A few days later, another salesman reached out. He seemed eager to help but after a few exchanges, he also disappeared. In my years of buying cars, this was a first and definitely not a way to treat a potential buyer.
Steve is a great salesperson, honest and trustworthy. We have purchased five vehicles from him. He is the reason we drive all the way to HAMER Toyota.
I had an excellent experience working with Andy. From the moment I walked in, they were friendly and genuinely focused on helping me find the right vehicle, not just making a sale. They answered all my questions clearly, were transparent about pricing, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I never felt pressured, and I really appreciated their patience and professionalism. If youāre looking for a car and want someone who truly cares about your needs, I highly recommend!
Another great car buying experience with Steve! Never disappointed and Steve is always honest and transparent. Have bought at least the last 3 Toyotaās from Steve and very happy every time!
I went to the dealership to look for a new car and making my first purchase in buying a car and ended up leaving with a car I loved. Thank you to Andy who helped us and fought for us and didnāt make us feel pressured and let us take our time. It was a best experience especially it being my first time buying a car. If you ever need a car or first time purchase go to Andy! You wonāt feel rushed nor pressured, heāll make it an easy experience. Thank you again to Andy , Iā... Read More DealerRater - Apr 2, 2025
Steve was great, consistent, friendly, reliable, pleasant, and made the process smooth and easy. 10/10
Been buying cars from Steve for years.. While searching dealerships in 1996 I stumbled across Hamer Toyota and was greeted by a guy with a big smile and honesty written all over his face.That was Steve.. Being desperate and nearly broke Steve showed me a ONE ONLY add car(Toyota Tacoma) that was thousands off sticker.I agreed to buy the car the next day but that one only add car couldn't be held by deposit..Fortunately the dealership was closing and Steve offered to meet me before the dealership opened in the morning to make sure I got ...

More people like Steve! My buying experience and interaction with Steve was great from beginning to end. I was able to pre order and purchase my 2025 4Runner with Steve without hassle and much ease. When all other salesmen told me it would be long before I could get on a list and a year to purchase, Steve made it happen. What I respect the most about Steve is his honesty and integrity from beginning to end without any gimmicks. The numbers remained the same from beginning to the end of the deal. Steve kept me in the loop of my ... Read More DealerRater - Mar 29, 2025
I like the fact that Hamer is welcoming, honest and professional. They have long term employees and I think that is a statement regarding the commitment and dedication of the team and a love for what they do!
Steve is great!! A consummate professional. This is our second car from Steve and what an easy, seamless experience. Best car buying experience weāve ever had and will be back for the next one. Wonāt hesitate to recommend him and Hamer to everyone we know looking for a Toyota. Extremely happy!!!!
Steve was absolutely amazing! Made everything so simple and so easy. He was always in contact and gave me updates.
I bought my first RAV4 from Hamer Toyota, and Steve helped me get a great deal in 2016. Thinking about buying a Tacoma again. (I miss my 2000 Prerunner.) And I will only buy a car from Steve.
Iām very disappointed with this place. We went there to get a bz4x 2025 for 259 @ month for 36 mos $3k down. False advertising, we have perfect credit, they even told us that. Hugo Acosta who we were told was the āManagerā ( heās an Assistant Mabager) came up and offered us 309 @ month $4,900 down!!!fir 36 month lease but offered 36k miles instead of 30k at the end of the lease. Well he shook hands with us and āmade a dealā and referred us to Raymond Arredondo who we told about the 36k miles and Hector confirmed it so Ray told us ... Read More DealerRater - Mar 19, 2025
My wife and I recently purchased a new Toyota Corolla SE from Hamer Toyota in Mission Hills, and we had the pleasure of working with Andy Magona. From the very first phone call to the moment we drove off the lot, Andy made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was upfront and transparent about everything, took the time to walk us through all of our options, and followed up without ever making us feel pressured.
Andyās professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness really stood out. Itās clear he cares about making sure his customers have a great ... Read More DealerRater - Mar 18, 2025
My family and I have been going to Steve for years and always recommend him to anyone and everyone who wants to buy a car. Personally, I have bought two cars with Steve. As an anxious person making a big purchase, I always feel comfortable and confident with Steve. He always goes above and beyond, even after he sells you the car. Heās helpful, transparent, and accommodating. Always ask for Steve!
Dealership had nice ambience and the staff were very nice. Parking was easy to find and we got helped right away
Steve is the guy! Had an excellent experience with Steve. From start to finish, he was personable, professional, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was quick, straight to the point, and never tried to upsell me just honest and helpful. He took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and made sure I was comfortable with my decision. His great personality and respectful approach made buying a car an enjoyable experience. If youāre looking for someone who genuinely cares about the customer, I highly recommend him!
Oh man, Steve not only made me feel like his one family member, but made the whole time at the dealership a fun one but also helpful and informative. Steve walked us through the steps on when the car gets here, was nice enough to hold it for 3 days, and was able to get us helped out and in a brand new car the same weekend! I couldnāt have asked for anyone better. Not on my does Steve care about his customers but he also cares for his work and what he does and it shows in each interaction. ...

Steve gave us the best car buying experience! We were able to walk out with the exact RAV4 we were shopping for. The process was so smooth and quick.

Terrific car buying experience! Talked to Steve Denson briefly a while back describing what I was looking for then setup an appointment just to look around and test drive a hybrid Camry and wouldnāt you know he grabs the keys and walks me over to my dream car! Steve is truly a master of his craft, every item on my wish list was checked with the vehicle he had waiting for me! He was honest, fought for us to get a fair price for our trade in and made sure he provided the absolute best service, advice and guidance ... Read More DealerRater - Mar 2, 2025
Iāve purchase 2 vehicles from Steve. A 4Runner in 2004 (which I still own and drive) and a Corolla Hybrid on 2/28/25. Steve is honest, has integrity, and listens to you so that he can understand your needs. He goes above and beyond to help you find the vehicle that is right for you. I only trust Steve with helping me buy the right Toyota for me! I co-sign on all the 5 star reviews. Steve is truly a gem in the automotive industry, Iām so grateful I found him 21 years ago.
Had a very positive experience with Jason, he was patient, thoroughly explained everything in a way I could understand, and he worked hard to get me the best deal possible. I never felt pressured and left feeling very satisfied and confident I made the best vehicle choice for me. Will definitely recommend him to friends and family!
Andy is very friendly and accommodating. He helped me from start to finish and provided excellent service. He is truly 5-star. Thank you!

Oscar Padilla was great. Made the buying experience very easy. We would recommend him and Hammer.
Steve is fantasticānegotiation was hassle-free. Itās no surprise he has a perfect 5-star rating. He genuinely looks out for fire, police, and military personnel. Highly recommend him to family and friends for an honest, fair experience without the usual sales pressure.

Steve made the buying process very pleasant, which is rare at best. Straight forward competitive quote with no surprises, not pushy, and vey accommodating. His finance guy was good too. Smooth transaction across the board! If you are buying a Toyota visit this guyā¦and mark my words
Ask for Oscar! Oscar is one of the most knowledgeable guys when it comes to Toyotas! If there is a rare time he doesnāt know the answer, he will find out and get back to you in a reasonable time frame. As I waited for my car to arrive, he kept me in the loop with updates every week. Oscar made buying my Toyota easy!
Oscar has been super helpful when buying my car. He is not only well informed but has explained and demonstrated various aspects of my exciting unusual FCEV Mirai car. Thanks Oscar for all the personal attention and individual care shown me. You're a good salesman and a great guy.
Andy is the guy to go to. He helped us when we had an appointment scheduled with someone who didnāt show up.
andy is the guy to go to. he helped me when the person i scheduled an appointment with didnāt show up. and he helped me seal the deal.
Steve was amazing. When it comes character and honesty thatās what describes Steve. Without him I donāt believe I couldāve purchased my Wifeās car. He never tried to upsell and made sure we were 100% happy on the car we chose. I will highly recommend all my friends and anyone I run into thatās looking to purchase a car to head over to see Steve. Thank you again Steve and to your Team at Toyota for making my Wife so happy.
Oscar was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, courteous and hard working. Buying a car these days is not an easy task. Oscar made the process not only fun but made sure I was happy with the vehicle before I drove it off the lot. Canāt recommend him enough as a salesperson. If you need a vehicle contact Oscar. He has without a doubt earned my future business.
Andy Mangona is the man to help you get your new car!! What an exceptional, kind human being! He went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable, he explained things, answered all my questions with patience and sincerity! He wanted to make sure I was sure about my purchase, helped me order extras, and even followed up a week later to make sure I was still happy about my 2024 Toyota Tacoma.

Jason was eager, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He immediately offered a substantial test drive. This was different from another nearby dealership who's sales guy who was most eager to get our encounter done with. Separately the sales process was at times confusing and seemed not fully coordinated. But it did get done.
I'd like to thank Andy for his excellent work trying to get me the best possible deal. He went above and beyond to find the car I wanted and helped land the car at the best price. Would also like to thank Eric in the finance office for making the transaction smooth and painless. Excellent experience with everyone at hamer. Thank you!
Great location, friendly sales representative, very knowledgeable about hybrid vehicles. Very impressed Would recommend my family and friends
Excellent!!! had the pleasure of working with Andy Mangona at Hamer Toyota very knowledgeable and really cared about our buying process. Highly recommend Andy he did an awesome job. Thank you so much!!!!!!

The entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for great service and a hassle-free car-buying experience. Thank you!
Steve and Oscar are amazing ! Highly recommend them. I got more than I expected I could with my new RAV4 2025 Hybrid AWD( especially after having a bad experience elsewhere). They are genuine, honest, I felt no stress, and enjoyed the process š will always go to them going forward !
Our family has worked with Steve for many years with our leased vehicles. He has always been upfront and honest with the process from beginning to end. There is never any pressure and just good sound advice. Steve thanks for everything this time around! We appreciate it!
Oscar is really good at his job. Heās very helpful. He assisted me in 2023 with a Toyota Highlander. Fast forward to 2025 and he guided me in the right direction with trading in that Highlander for a new Toyota Corolla. If youāre looking for someone to help you with making such a big decision, stop on by and ask for Oscar.
Steve is not a salesperson, he is a friend recommending the best vehicle options and trade in values for your needs and situation. He is clear, transparent and concise. No wasted time!
The worst experience in life. The official Toyota dealer Hummer Toyota sells used Nissans bought on Craigslist. Clients are lured into the showroom by posting ads for non-existent Toyota cars at reduced prices. During negotiations by email, they confirm availability and acceptance. Upon arrival at the showroom, they drive you around the parking lot for a long time to finally say that the desired car has just been sold. Two weeks later, the "sold car" is still on the site and lures new clients.
By far the best experience I've ever had buying a vehicle. Steve is an honest, caring, positive and most importantly transparent salesman. It's hard to believe but Steve really does fight for your best interest!!! If you need a car, Steve is the man for the JOB!
Oscar was great to work with! I came in with an offer from another dealership and he and Hugo did their best to match it and earn my business. Never did I feel like they were trying to upsell me on anything. Eric in finance made everything super straightforward and was able to get me an even better rate than I expected. After the sale Oscar walked me through all the unique features of my new crown signia. I found him to be one of the most knowledgeable salespeople I encountered in my extensive car search. The dealership is comfortable, ... Read More DealerRater - Jan 1, 2025
Oscar was an absolute professional. So easy to work with and very helpful! Frank in finance was also great both took times to break everything down and made an often stressful car buying experience really enjoyable. Work with Oscar if you can!
Steve Denson is one of the most friendly, knowledgeable and helpful sales folks there! Tells you like it is and insures you are taken care of from the Hamer Toyota Family. Always getting you the best deal for your money! Thanks again Steve!!!
Car buying can be extremely intimidating, exhausting, and overwhelming but itās definitely palatable when you have an awesome car salesman. Insert Oscar Padilla.

His communication is phenomenal and he possesses truly STELLAR customer service! Will absolutely recommend him to anyone!!
It was a very friendly atmosphere. The transaction with Oscar went effortlessly. Awesome customer service. Definitely will be doing business again. Highly recommended.
Steve is the man! I bought my first used car from him years ago and loved every bit of that car. Now that I was looking for a new car, I phoned Steve right up and told him exactly what I was looking for and what timeline I had. Man, did Steve deliver! I walked out yesterday with a new 2025 RAV4 Hybrid. What I appreciate most about Steve is that I know I can rely on him to have my best interest and not upsell any unnecessary crap. I trust him so much that I referred him to my dear ... Read More DealerRater - Dec 28, 2024

Steve is a super kind and honest gentleman. He knew exactly what we needed and what we were looking for. He treated us with love and respect. Glad to do business with him once again. His dedicated customer service is the reason why people will always come back to work with him!
Dealership is clean. Has coffee, water, and seating area. Driveway is a little tight for parking
Hamer Toyota is a wonderful place. The entire car buying process was seamless and easy from start to finish.
Steve is everything you want in a fantastic salesperson and nothing you donāt! He was warm, knowledgeable, patient and most importantly transparent. He listened to our wishlist and budget and helped make a great deal possible, including a trade-in for my mom to be able to drive home in her new dream car. Iād gladly recommend working with Steve to anyone looking to buy a car.
One of my concerns was having to spend all day at a dealer ship going back and forth with someone who was going to be wasting both our time so I am very thankful to have ran into Steve. He helped me buy my first brand new car and made the experience hassle free. As someone who doesnāt know too much about cars, he took the time to explain things and I very much appreciated his honesty about the process. Thank you, Steve!!
We were referred to Steve by a family friend. We couldnāt be happier! Steve not only explained the car buying process but also the maintenance. Weāre beyond thankful to Steve for his transparency and communication. We will be coming back for future purchases. Thank you so much!!
This was one of the best car buying experiences I've ever had. Not only was the entire staff friendly and helpful, but they really respected my time. Manny specifically, really helped to bring everything together without being pushy or annoying.
I called Hamer Sunday morning and wanted to see a particular car, a nearly new GR86. I connected with Oscar and he invited me in. I liked the car but told Oscar we had just transferred money to my checking account and we wouldnāt be buying today. He asked if I was interested in buying the car and I said yes but probably not until Tuesday when my money would be in the account. Well, we went through the pricing, settled on a reasonable price and I decided to buy now. I used a card for the down payment. ... Read More DealerRater - Nov 18, 2024
I originally came to Steve in 2009 needing a vehicle but not in the best financial position. 2 hours later l drove away in a brand new vehicle that fit my need . Today I picked up my 6th car since then. Favorable terms and a new vehicle that again fits my budget and my family. Steve and Hamer Toyota are THE BEST
The dealership has a nice car selection, friendly staff, clean environment and overall an easy process to purchase a car!
Amazing dealer, was able to purchase my first car, Steve was extremely helpful. Hassle free process and I couldnāt ask for a better dealer to buy from. Thank you again
Steve, Thank you for working with us over a few calls, text and two visits!
Getting a new/used car can be an exciting experience but where to start? I walked in and was greeted immediately. I knew what car I wanted and getting it was an easy process. Staff is friendly and I recommend checking this dealership out if youāre looking for your next car.
My family and I have been purchasing cars from Steve for over 30 years. He is trustworthy, genuine, and just an all-around great guy to deal with. I trust him explicitly, and thatās why I continue to do business with him. He treats me like family and is fair and just a joy to do business with. If youāre looking to buy a Toyotaā¦..call Steve. Heās your guy!!
Coming to Hammer Toyota is a relaxing experience. Employees are cordial and pleasant to talk to. They are not pushing you to buy, nor forcing you to choose. I had a great personalized service while getting a new car from the dealership. I am very thankful to Oscar.

Great personal service . Didn't feel like a sale, he just listened to what I needed and gave me every option in my budget . Zero up sales all class
I went to Hamer Toyota in search of a vehicle for my dad. We had the good fortune of meeting Steve and asked him a few questions. He showed us vehicles that were in our budget and never once pressured us to buy or go over our budget. Even after we left and returned later that same day, Steve made time for my dad and I. He was very informative about every vehicle that we were considering which helped us make a decision. Steve made the process so easy and thanks to him, my dad has a now has a ...

Many thanks to Oscar and Jaime for their patients and hard work and getting me a great deal on my new Toyota. Hamer Toyota has more inventory than most dealers and worked with me to get a good price on the Toyota I was looking for.
I loved working with Steve. Steve has always taken care of my dad for the last 20 years (5 previous purchases) and was able to help me with my first purchase.
