California Toyota Dealership

We have the distinct honor of being located centrally in California, the state with the largest economy and most varied landscape in the country.

Less than an hour from our state capitol in Sacramento, we’re also only an hour from South Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in America. Being so close to so many unique environments is one of the coolest parts about being in Placerville.

We have the state’s oldest newspaper in the Mountain Democrat, too. Without Placerville, California would not be what it is today. Just a few miles from us in Coloma was where James Marshall discovered gold in the American River in 1848. This led to the Gold Rush, which brought thousands among thousands from all over the country and world to Placerville and California. We have customers come from all over the state to visit because of what makes Thompsons special.

Being family-owned, that’s exactly how to treat everyone here, from customers to our employees; we all make up the Thompsons Family together.

A TRIP YOU WON’T FORGET

So if you’re anywhere in California, like the Bay Area, Chico and Redding, Sacramento, and even as far down as Los Angeles or out of state in Nevada, we will make your trip worthwhile, and its a reason that, as a small dealer group, we do so much business outside of our small town. That’s because people remember us and fun and joy we bring to the car buying experience.

What’s there to do in Placerville? Well there are numerous great hiking trails, wineries (we even have our own Thompsons wine), incredible restaurants, scenic Apple Hill orchards and markets, and the most perfect historic Downtown Placerville Main Street.

SHOPPING FOR A NEW TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA?

We’re right near Lake Tahoe, Folsom Lake, and so many more in our area. The Tundra is a perfect truck for doing anything in California, like towing or going camping with. Maybe you’re doing some home improvement or construction, the Tundra will be your best friend hauling all your wood and materials with you for your projects in complete comfort and attitude. The Tacoma is the smaller cousin, with a huge legacy built around the ability it has on and off-road.

Highlander, 4Runner, and Sequoia offer the Toyota experience of quality in a full-size SUV package, while smaller SUVs can be found in the Rav4 and CH-R. The Sienna minivan is a class leader for a reason, with it’s generous space and available AWD. They’re all perfectly suited for the California dream, with the trademark Toyota quality and dependability.

The Prius is the fuel mileage king, while the Corolla is a stalwart compact car, being one of the best-selling cars in the entire world. The Camry is perhaps the most well-know model and what every sedan is compared to. People hear Camry and you know it’s a Toyota. If you want luxury, then it’s the Avalon for you. We’re talking a $40,000 car with an interior worthy of a $80,000 car. It’s insane.

OUR DEALERSHIP IS WORTH THE DRIVE

We’re located near Folsom, Cameron Park, and El Dorado Hills! Thompsons is a family-owned dealer that wants to give you the ultimate car buying experience. We treat everyone at our store like family, because that’s what Thompsons is all about: Family.

If you’re in Folsom and want to escape the corporate business, Thompsons in Placerville is only a short drive up the road. We’re a local, small-town, home-grown dealer that supports our community. Cameron Park is our neighbor, in Placerville’s own backyard. And if you’re in glamorous El Dorado Hills, you need style to match the area, which is a perfect place for a 4Runner Limited, a Tacoma TRD Pro, or an Avalon, not to mention a Camry XSE V6 with red interior. You’ll make your neighbors jealous.

We’re one of the highest rated dealers in the state on Facebook, Yelp, and Google.

California is a big place, yet it can still be tough to find a car dealer that makes you feel at home, so we invite you in as our family.
