Eco Drive Auto Sales & Leasing, Inc.

Hi, all!
I purchased my 2006 Prius here and still stop by here for maintenance. They know Prius pretty well, and one of the best car dealers in South Bay area. Coincidently I bought Acura TL in a car dealer where the manager of Eco Drive used to work, and few years later, I purchased a car from him again! He is such a bright salesperson.
Ok, so about the Prius, it was very well maintenanced and had no problem at all even it came with about 190k miles driven. I drive my Prius for 1.5 years so far but haven’t had any issue. I drove to Vegas twice and for my commute from Torrance to Long Beach every day.
If you have any question about Prius series, just visit here and they are here for you!

Update! I’ve now sent my sister there to buy her prius, it was a great experience, as usual, Suzuki San is a gem! Prius are the best cars, very very happy with the warranty, my sister was treated so well, they found her THE PERFECT car and now I want another one.
Her boyfriend went to go look at another one, I hope he will end up buying from here also, because there is no better service in America. ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!

Highly recommended dealer for Japanese people and probably for non-​Japanese people as well. I was very satisfied with their service. They went through everything in detail for us newbies and made sure that we were comfortable with everything! I was very happy with my purchase since I believe I got a very nice deal for a very nice car. The big upside here is the insurance. My tire inflation lamp was on and it was concerning so I contacted them. They came all the way to my office to pick up the car and take a look. They identified the problem and resolved it for me since it was covered by their insurance, it was free of charge :) I’d like to say that I am very grateful and will be using them for all my maintenance and will look here if I am looking to purchase a new car for my wife.

Last Dec 2014 my father asked me to accompany him to look at a Prius. He and I are both new to hybrid vehicles so it was nice to have honest and knowledgeable salesmen. They showed us all our options and did not up sell us on anything. I feel we received a very good deal on our purchase as well as amazing customer service. I would recommend this business and will come back to purchase another car in the future

I used to work at a dealership in my twenties and even with that under my belt, when we bought my wife’s 2010 prius from toyota of hollywood… Let’s just say I’ve never come so close to slapping someone., (added options we did not ask for.)
While my very pregnant wife was patiently waiting until 11 pm.
This place is the total opposite of that usual flavor of nasty, greedy and real bad quality.
The car we looked at had 2 – 3 year warranties on the hybrid system, 1 year on the engine. And when he showed me all the things he replaced, I remembered my experience in Japan. Quality, kindness, diligence and most of all honor.
Ps: as a former test driver post repairs at that dealership, I can safely say even his low end car was perfect. Perfect. And I’m an picky tech nerd/​engineer. The 2005 prius we drove and inspected looked as presentable as my wife’s 2010. Or close enough. But if you can afford a 2010 or newer, I prefer that climate control. Just FYI.
I’ve said too much. Just visit them. And Gp slow as the driveway entrance is very easy to miss.
(Maybe someone can post a pic of the entrance).
Thanks again guys. We will send you only the best clients because you have the best service.

Ok so where should I start it? What made me drive from San Bernardino county (60+miles)to Eco auto sales?
I heard about Mr. Suzuki from a friend that purchased her Prius about 1 year ago. She has very excellent experiences with her Prius. So far trouble free :) she told me about how Mr Suzuki offers unbeatable warranty in the Prius industry.
I just purchased my first eco friendly car from Mr. Suzuki. Mr. Suzuki makes sure everything is ok before hanging me the key. So far, everything is perfectly well :)
Eco auto sales website is in Japanese only. But if you use Chrome browser you can easily translated in English!
I also took my weekend car to Saga auto care for detail (inside of Eco auto sales) they are appointment only. believe me or not, these guys really know what they are doing!!!
Saga auto care self imported a special glass coating from Japan that made my car look just like a brand new car again!!!

Great! Mr. Suzuki was so helpful through the whole process. Before this place, I had been to a few Toyota dealerships where I was treated terribly when I didn’t want to buy their car. Fortunately, my mom found this place on the LA Japanese community website «Vivi Navi» where we found some cars that I was interested in. I had just moved from NYC and had no way of getting from LA to Torrance. When I told him about my situation, he generously picked me up and drove me to and from the location. While I was looking at the cars, he didn’t pressure me and provided me with all the information upfront. I am so glad that I bought my car from Eco Drive Auto Sales & Leasing. I could not be happier!
I’ve had the car for a few months and unfortunately dented my car. When I called Mr. Suzuki to ask for his advice about good auto shops, he took care of everything. He contacted the auto shops that he knew did quality work for a good price. Whenever there was a change in price, he always contacted me, letting me know the different options and letting me chose. During that week when my car was in the shop, he let me borrow one of the cars which I was so grateful for! He is a very patient, genuine man and really cares about his customers. Extraordinary customer service!

In your typical Japanese fashion, I am very honored to have an opportunity to write this review as the second in line for Eco Drive Auto Sales & Leasing. I purchased a hybrid vehicle from Eco Auto in November 2013 and the sales process has been nothing but EXTRAORDINARY!!! I say ‘has’, because it really is a raw thriving relationship as a seller-​customer dealing when you purchase a vehicle from Suzuki-​san. He loves to work on hybrid systems (especially the Prius) and he appreciates all the new development that is happening in eco-​friendly vehicles. If you are interested in purchasing a used Prius and not worry about anything else, then this is THE place to go!
The 3-year/50,000 mile warranty for the Hybrid System and 2-year/30,000 mile warranty for the powertrain is true and I hope that THAT in itself is a reason for you to at least check out what Eco Drive is about. Normally, warranty on a used vehicle is around three to six months. Sometimes even a month! You also get a full list of warranty items for the powertrain and as a person who, at my age, has some experience in maintenance and parts, he is fair and he will come through with his words. Oh and btw, the small leak in the AC system? Done.
But, I have to say, I think his focus is creating a business that is good for the environment and therefore provides a great value to society. Prius is a hot item now with Toyota backing so much of the development and its no wonder the cars last long. If all else fails, then take it to Toyota. But before you do, give Suzuki-​san a call because he will honestly take care of you.
So please, I don’t mean to be a liberal yuppie but put your trust in this guy and go buy a hybrid. Do us all a favor. lol.
Here are some pointers:
1) Check out the show room. It screams hybrid. =)
2) Do your due diligence, Suzuki-​san will change the way you look at the Prius.
3) I got a used Prius from him that drives at a minimum average of 49.9MPG. Beat that!

This store is run by a Japanese man and he specializes only in used Toyota Prius cars. He has years of background working for a Japanese used car company and he had just opened his own shop less a year ago.
I decided to buy a car from this guy because
1) he only gets Prius with one owner and with clean title,
2) car is fully insured up to 3 years/50,000 miles for Hybrid related functions and 3 years/30,000 for other parts from the time of purchase,
3) he gave me a sheet easy to read what is covered with insurance and repair at no cost.

Yesterday, my car had an emergency lamp, I called this guy, and he told me what to do immediately. He then told me to bring the car right away and he said the problem is probably the hybrid battery (car had 144,000 mile) so I gave him the car and he lent me his car to drive until my car is fixed.
I don’t have to feel anxious, he takes care of his customer with sincere heart even after the sale is complete and many months have passed. I was really satisfied when I bought a car from him and I continue to feel satisfied even when the problem arises because I know this man will take care of it as he says he would.
What a ease! no wating, no lies, no hassle. I hope he continues to be successful, and that’s why I am writing this review.
