Putnam Toyota

On Father’s Day, after an awesome lunch with my dad, he decides that he wants to check out the new 2016 Toyota Sienna. I Googled the nearest dealership and drove straight to Putnam Toyota with our family.
We were promptly greeted by Abdul Asalati, the sales representative here and he was very warm and welcoming to my family. Even though my parents did not speak a word of English, Abdul treated them with respect, professionalism and was extremely genuine to my whole family. We were specifically looking for a 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE and Abdul immediately took us to the lot and showed us all the available Sienna XLEs and in no time, we were in a brand new Sienna for a test drive. My dad test drove it, I test drove it and we both thought it was a great car and decided to get it! This is usually the part I hate the most whenever buying a new car, negotiating. Abdul made it quick and easy and didn’t play any games with us. We got the price we wanted with $ 0 down and 0% APR, the most painless experience I’ve ever had. The Sienna was brand spanking new with just 1 mile on the ODO and we felt like we walked out with a great price!
Abdul didn’t waste any time and was to the point and that’s what I love about him. While the paperwork was being drafted, Abdul helped me schedule my first maintenance and showed me how easy it was to do it online and reschedule it if I have to. Lastly, after our new car was detailed and filled with gas, Abdul offered to help my dad sync his iPhone to the Sienna and took family pictures with us in front of our new ride!
Dad was a happy camper! Then we went and got ice cream!
Please ask for Abdul, he has exceptional customer service and I highly recommend working with him!

Just purchased my car from Elton at Putnam Toyota! Elton was great to deal with and I couldn’t be happier with his excellent service! Thanks again :)

We Just purchased a new Toyota Camry at Putnam Toyota. If you haven’t been to Putnam I’d have to say it’s one of the nicer Toyota dealerships in Northern California. This is the second car we’ve purchased from Shannon Warner the first was a Toyota Tacoma. Shannon is a great salesman and provides a high level of customer service. I would highly recommend him if you are in the market for a new car.

I recently moved to the Bay Area and had the wonderful experience of buying my first car at Putnam Toyota with the help of Jeff Hershman, their Internet & Fleet Sales Manager. I had contacted the dealership through their website a couple of weeks before I got here and had received a warm and near immediate response from Jeff. I set up an appointment for a couple of days after I got here. I had initially figured I’d just take a look that day and come back for the car at a later date. However since Jeff offered me a very fair price right off the bat, and since I’m not really one for bargaining I went ahead and got it the same day. I was able to get financing via Toyota Financial Services (thanks to George Ferrier, the Finance and Insurance Manager) through their office and also went in for the extended protection that was offered to me, though I should also say there was no pressure to do so.
One week in, and having since compared prices with friends and family, I’m very satisfied by what I got. If anyone is looking for a new car in the area, I would very much recommend Putnam Toyota and more specifically, Jeff Hershman.

me and my Husband buy a new Toyota Rav4 2016 on May 14,2016 this is our second Toyota Rav4 when we go shop for a new car Victor Contreras was very patient with us no push just show us all the new Rav4 we didn’t buy the first trip we go back after few months he with a smile face come to us with his help we buy it this time. we are happy to have a new 2016 Rav4 and yet we are very happy with the service that Victor give to us if he still working the next 10 years we’ll still buy from him! Thank you again Victor !!

Called Jeff Hershman out of the blue on Friday, I live in Central California and was doing research for my mother’s potential new car. I clearly explained what she needed and what was expected — Jeff at Putnam delivered.
He and I talked real numbers on a car on the lot. Everything was perfect – my mom left work and executed the deal for her new car. Jeff was great. The final monthly payment was less than quoted – which is always nice. Great job Jeff and Putnam.

We just bought a new 2016 Toyota Sienna XLE AWD. Can’t say enough about how easy the purchase process was thanks to Jeff Hershman. Also their website was the best of the South Bay Toyota dealerships. Really easy to find what we were looking for. Would highly recommend purchasing from Putnam Toyota if you’re anywhere in the bay.

Nader Meyssami was awesome! We bought a new 2016 sienna xle. He gave us the best deal possible. He was very nice and was very reasonable. I definitely recommend anyone to go to Nader and Putnam Toyota.

I have a new 2016 sienna and am still a
Happy camper! Same staff–
Same great service!

My first time here so starting with 4 stars but I think this could go higher.
Putnam Toyota is one of those auto dealerships that restores your faith in auto dealerships. I went in for some work on my Toyota and Matt was the guy I dealt with. He was professional, up-​front, clear, honest and overall just a really nice person to deal with.
Turns out that no work was needed and I was warned up front that there would be a charge to assess the issue. If it was covered under warranty I wouldn’t have to pay for it. If not, or there was nothing to be done, I, of course would have to.
Since the assessment turned up nothing I was expecting to pay for it but since it was my first time there they waived the fee. WOW! They totally just bought my ongoing business with them.
Oh did I mention that the waiting area was clean, comfortable and stocked with an insane amount of pastries and other snacks?
Oh and a hint for those that commute by train to the city (and therefore rarely use their cars) from the Peninsula. Drive your car to Putnam early in the morning to be looked at, pick up the CalTrain just 2 blocks away from the dealership and then train back at night, grab your car and go. Very convenient.
Thanks Matt!

Mark Putnam contacted me. I thanked him for reaching out to me and let him know our truck needs have been met.

Great dealership and amazing staff specifically Mr. Nader Meyssami, with out his help, knowledge and patience my wife and I would be still looking for a car ! Great job thank you

I just had a first-​rate experience with Putnam and their sales person Jeff Hershman. They were competitive with both Costco and Truecar pricing so, with all the resources on the Internet, I know I got a fair price on a new Prius Two Eco. No pressure from the finance guy to buy the extended warranty or extended service contract and, since he negotiated a little, I bought both. About 30K out the door for a safe, reliable car that I got 63 MPG in yesterday. Not bad!!!

We walked in to just look at cars and walked out with a 2016 Prius 4. Our sales person never pushed, never offered, never even tried to sell us a car. He let us check cars out and ask questions. Play around with them and test drive them. He watched us sit in the back seat an wait for a few mins as we imagined being back here as a rider. His name was Jamie an he was an amazing person. I’m not one for people but he was a nice person with an honest back ground. Normally I hate sales people because I’ve worked sales. But he did something right. We got us a good deal and we walked out happy. Will be going back here for services and if I ever trade or need a new car. I would for sure recommend this place and him. First car I had ever bought so I brought the Bf who has and even he was impressed. He also works customer service and if he’s impressed then something was done right!

My wife and I just picked up our 2016 RAV4 Hybrid Limited at Putnam. Our salesman was Shannon Warner and he was such a pleasure to work with. We really appreciated Shannon’s friendly and no-​pressure approach. He knows all of the technical and fine details of Toyotas. He gave us great suggestions without being pushy. He always looked after our best interests.
The RAV4 Hybrids were in extreme short supply. He kept us up-​to-​date with what little local inventory was available. We ended up having to order ours from Japan, and it took about 10 weeks. That’s 10 weeks of me pestering Shannon for weekly updates. I am a fanatic for details. And Shannon was always super responsive.
We were downsizing from a Acura MDX so we knew trunk space would be an issue when we have to pack up the RAV4 for vacations. During the 10-​week wait period, I decided to purchase a Yakima roof cargo box. But there were so many different cargo box sizes with varying dimensions to choose from. To make sure the box would fit the roof rails and not obstruct the opening of the tailgate, I emailed Shannon and asked if he could take some roof measurements for me with the tailgate opened. Within a few minutes, Shannon replied back and said he could get me the measurements within an hour. That is the service you can expect from Shannon!
This was our second Toyota from Putnam. We bought a Prius Plug-​In back in 2012. So we know the Service Department is excellent also. We highly recommend Putnam Toyota, and be sure to ask for Shannon Warner.

Victor, our initial salesperson, was very nice and welcoming, too! As soon as we stepped into the dealership, he talked to us right away. He had to attend to previous customers then Noli stepped in. Great car sales experience with Noli Bati! He was very direct and accommodating when it came to our numerous questions. He was friendly and didn’t pressure us into anything. He was as transparent as he could get. He also was with us every step of the way and even spot cleaned our car before leaving! Really happy with our purchase. David, the one in charge of our financing, was also accommodating. Will update in 6 months regarding servicing the car but so far, so good. Would recommend Putnam Toyota!

I usually don’t like going to dealerships but Abdul assured me that he would make car buying easy and take car of me. Abdul went above and beyond to get me the vehicle I wanted. He even stayed late so that I wouldn’t have to come back the next day. Thank you Putnam Toyota but especially Abdul!

Service Dept Specifically:
Excellent service! Exceeded my expectations and catered to my exact needs (super particular about my truck)!
They went above and beyond to research tow mirrors to gain exact figment along w appropriate function!
Huge shout out to.

All awesome Dudes! Thanks fellas’

My wife and I have purchased two Toyota RAV4s from Putnam Toyota in the last year and a half and received the most excellent service and great deals from Jeff Hershman. If you’re looking for an honest, friendly, and knowledgeable salesman who looks for your best interest and matches you up with the right vehicle, then look no further then Jeff. He’s dedicated to his customers and has a wealth of experience and huge heart. We were also pleased with George who helped us with financing both vehicles. We couldn’t be more happy with the service and would highly recommend Putnam Toyota if you’re looking for a new or preowned vehicle. Thank you Jeff!
Five stars! Two thumbs up!

These folks are really great. I was looking for a Honda Element for a couple weeks and came across a trade-​in (hence finding a Honda at a Toyota dealership). The car was incredibly good condition and low mileage at a price that was already on par with kbb given the carfax.
Jeff Hershman helped me out and stayed in quite a bit later than anticipated to make sure everything was in order.
I also enjoyed taking the jumping picture in front of my newly acquired vehicle.
