Customer Testimonials

I visited Shottenkirk Desert Lexus for service repair on my 2000 ES 300 with 58,245 miles. I noticed that fuel was leaking on the ground and immediately drove it to the dealership. My wait time was short, I did not have an appointment, and they were able to fit me in the same day for a diagnosis. Tania Toscano was very helpful from the moment that I arrived. She kept me informed of the work in progress and let me know that my car was waiting on parts over the weekend. She was able to get me into another Lexus courtesy vehicle for ...

Both Ted and Tony were outstanding, patient, and helpful. They spent the time with me that I needed, and made the experience a good one.

I received great service from Natalia. She greeted us promptly and explained our vehicle features well. She was patient with us and made us feel welcomed. I feel there’s always room for improvement in any business and so I’ll save a 5 star rating for next time even though Natalia deserves a 5 ⭐️ Good service all around.

Came in to see an advertised car and was helped by Bob. Ended up buying the car after he worked a deal out to the numbers we wanted. Fast, friendly, excellent purchasing experience would definitely recommend

Excellent service!

In my search to replace my older Lexus350RX, I found just what I was looking for- Halfway across the Country - at Shottenkirk Desert Lexus. From the moment I called I had the pleasure of working with a great team of Sales Professionals. From beginning to end, Sergio and his sales staff were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Kyle Forga, Used Car Manager, went above and beyond making sure all details were handled, all questions answered, finalizing the contract, coordinating the shipping of my car to Kansas and supplying me with additional needed items. Thank you Kyle! Also, a special ...

Natalia was great and very knowledgeable. The Manager Sean took care of us very well even with all the madness that interest have.

The car buying experience was so easy with all the assistance we got. Natalie and Greg were fantastic.


Extremely friendly staff

I travelled 145 miles to purchase my vehicle from Shottenkirk Desert Lexus. Special thanks goes out to Bob for video taping the vehicle I was interested in. He did an amazing job with capturing the exterior and interior of the vehicle. Thank you Bob and Natalia for providing excellent customer service. Totally worth the drive out.

Brandon is the best salesman that you have to look for when buying car here at Desert Lexus. Very helpful and accommodating! More sales everyday Brandon!

I purchased a 2021 Lexus ES 250 and was treated amazingly by Deanna. She was very patient, kind and professional and made my purchase online go smoothly. She is the best! If you ever thinking about buying a Lexus, stop by here and ask for Deanna!

Great & Fast service!

Alexis did an awesome job selling me a beautiful new car! Ask for her by name!

I had a great experience working with Jorge (sales) and Nayomi (finance) when looking/test driving/purchasing my new NX.

Jorge was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful during and following our purchase of a new car! Keep up the fine work!

Smooth, efficient buying process. 5-star dealer!

Great experience with this dealership. They have a different way of doing things here. Salespeople are incentivized to provide service not upsells. I worked with Chris and even though I bought a used Buick, they treated me like I was buying a top of the line Lexus. The sales managers were knowledgeable and informative rather than slimy and looking to gouge you. They offer amenities as part of your purchase. They include free car washes, airport concierge service and storage of your vehicle, service pick up from your location, and more. Ask about the free golf ball sized dent removal. ...


Noemi was awesome! Although I came with a specific car in mind, she took the time to let me decide if it was the right one for me and ultimately helped me secure the car with terms I was happy with! Definitely going to recommend her!

We’re here at Shottenkirk Desert Lexus with Sonny & Socrates buying our dream car on a Sunday afternoon. We just wanted to say how nice the people are that we dealt with — super service, sweet smiles, such a great chapter to our Love Story, Dallas Ann & Rick Erwood

Our experience at Desert Lexus was without a doubt the best Automotive Buying trip ever. I have never written about buying a car before, because it is not normally a good experience. Desert Lexus brilliantly employe STEVEN FLORES and NAYOMI CEBALLOS and they are the sole reason I write. Both were Professional and Personable. They will be our go to people for all things Lexus, for the foreseeable future. I recommend STEVEN FLORES for New Lexus and PreOwned as well. I can’t wait to meet the rest of their staff. Great Experience.t

Brandon was the best car salesman I've ever encountered. He was beyond friendly and extremely helpful. Also Kyle was great and I left extremely happy with my new car

Natalia went way beyond the expected in explaining the numerous features of the info system. As an 80yrs dude, every minute was necessary and she was very patient and understanding. She's a definite asset to the dealership!

Natalia is great. Her friendly, happy demeanor welcomed us into the show room and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. She helped us understand the purchase process and now she has demonstrated the electrical intricacies of the dashboard and the car interior. Without her I seriously doubt if there would been a sale. We are very grateful for her kindness, her expertise and her generous help.

I had an amazing experience with the Shottenkirk team. Kyle and Richard were the absolute best! Kyle found me the exact model that fit best for me and most of all my budget. He even Ubered me all the way from San Diego to them! The whole staff was very knowledgable and spent the time to help me select the perfect car for me. Furthermore they helped me install the Lexus app, personalize it, and make sure I understood all of the cars features before driving back down to San Diego. Thanks you so much for the amazing car and ...

@ Brandon bacca the best salesman hands down!!

Awesome service

Kyle was a great sales person- Eddie and Sergio were also terrific!

We had a very positive experience purchasing a used Lexus with assistance of Scott and Bob. Both gentlemen were knowledgeable and helpful which made the buying process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend both.

Kyle , Natalia, and the rest of the crew were completely amazing. We were able to seamlessly do our transaction online and they actually delivered the Lexus to our home all the way in Redlands. Five stars every day of the week.

Socrates was extremely helpful, made whole progress much easier. High praise for his help.

Experience has been great with SOcrates.

Easiest transaction. Sold my car in minutes. Very professional experience

Socrates was very helpful and attentive during my purchase. Even made sure I had everything I needed the next day. Thank you!

I love this Lexus dealership. they helped me pick a new car and gave me a good deal. Thnx Shottenkirk Lexus for the new keys.

This is a review of experience with their parts department. Knowledgeable parts employee helped me find a part I needed while vacationing on a road trip from San Diego to Palm Desert. My power steering suddenly stopped working without any warning. I inspected under the hood and under car to find that a nut had fallen off the power steering pump pulley thus the pump was not engaging to drive the fluid into the steering rack. All I needed to get back on the road was $1.80 flange nut. Called parts department and they got the nut delivered next day by 7:30...

I called for some information and Kyle helped me get everything set up for delivery. It was very simple and pain free. I would highly recommend this dealership as their service is great.

Great service. Socrates was fantastic with answering questions on anything about cars I was looking at and there to help me at looking for the best deal.

Kyle was great to work with. Enjoyed my experience. Thank you

Brandon is greatest.

This was the easiest dealership I have worked with. I was in and out in an hour. Ari, Bob, and Kyle provided a professional and friendly exprierence. They made sure that everything was covered at the best price. I recommended anyone to go buy a new or used car at Shottenkirk Desert Lexus.

I just purchased a vehicle from Shottenkirk Desert Lexus, I and couldn’t be more pleased! Bob, Kyle, Nohemi & Ari were amazingly helpful, friendly, and treated us like royalty. We obtained the vehicle information, took a test drive, and signed all the finance documents in about one hour. I highly recommend Shottenkirk for anyone who wants to buy a vehicle and receive excellent customer service.

I want to thank Richard Holster for fixing a software problem, profiles not recognized, on my 2023 NX 450+. He worked with me for over a hour. He was patient and understood the problem.

I’ve owned Lexus vehicles since 1994, and this one is special. Thanks again to the folks at Shottenkirk Lexus I highly recommend this dealership.

My husband and I had the fastest quote and then sale with Kyle Forga. Who knew selling a car could be so pleasant. Always serviced my car with Shottenkirk and would highly recommend.

I am so relieved my wife was able to work with a gentleman named Kyle Forga to help her with our transaction in my absence . He was very professional and understanding and walked her through it. Thank you

Went and saw Noemi at Palm Springs desert Lexus and she was phenomenal best service ever!

Tim wilson, is the best so helpful I am so thankful to found replacement for my car because of his hard work, again thank you Tim 🙏🏻 I really highly recommend him.

RECENT SALE of our NX300H with Ted Pavlovich: can't say enough about this guy. He was low key, relaxed, easy to talk to, and had our best interest at heart. We had checked out a RAV4 Hybrid and Honda CRV Hybrid. We've been a Lexus family for over 15years now and needed to take advantage of the Hybrid tech for gas saving but wanted to keep our Lexus comfort. Fortunate for us, they had just received in a pre-owned NX300H a day or two before and it was meant to be. Love all the bells and ...

Thanks to both Richard and Kyle. They really know their stuff and also what the meaning of customer service is!! Great experience. Thanks.

Everyone at Shottenkirk is tops ~ thank you!
