Putnam Toyota Review By Kahanalei M.

I come here for my oil changes and when my car needs to be serviced in any other way and the work that's done is always done very well and I never leave feeling unsatisfied - the folks here really do a great job with servicing your car! They are currently remodeling the place (as of late Aug. 2011) and I was told that it may take up to sometime in Nov. 2011 for the remodeling to be completed, but in the mean time, they will kindly direct you to the Scion part of the building, if you want to wait on the premises while your car is being serviced. Purchased my Scion tC from Putnam Toyota Scion back in the summer of 2007, and aside from unfortunately being rear-ended a couple of years ago while on 280, I have thankfully never had any problems with the car itself. Back when I was looking to purchase a new car, I sent some e-mails to three dealerships near where I live and I remember how I had only gotten a response to an e-mail of interest addressed to me right away, from Chris Reade at Putnam Toyota Scion, asking me to contact him as they have the particular model/color in stock that I was looking for and if I had any further questions. The other dealerships, on the other hand, took a while to respond back and when they did, they sent what seemed like a general e-mail that sounded rather impersonal. To me, this was a sure sign which car dealership I should decide to go visit. Chris Reade helped me out with the purchase of my Scion tC and he is absolutely THE BEST out there! I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me with the process of buying a new car! He was realistic when it came to the options I wanted to get on my car and would tell me when I wouldn't need a certain option and I was so thankful and appreciative that he was honest with me and also with taking the time to explain things very clearly and not making you feel rushed. Chris is definitely not pushy at all nor does he try to sell you additional accessories or stuff you don't really need. I felt very comfortable with the excellent service that he provided and he is nothing but pleasant to deal with! I will always remember that day I took my car out for a test drive with Chris and fell in love with it, as well as the day I drove out of the Putnam Toyota Scion dealership with my new car. . . such good memories:-) After about 4yrs, I saw Chris today and it was nice to be able to let him know how things were going since the last time we spoke: Thank you again for everything, Chris! As long as I live in the Bay Area, I will continue to come here. If you are looking to purchase a Toyota or a Scion, Putnam Toyota Scion is highly recommended!
