    Meet Dianne

    A married mom of four, born in Manila and raised in California, who loves Disneyland days, a glass of red wine, and great food with family. When I’m not with my kids, you’ll usually find me helping customers find the perfect Toyota that fits their life.

    WELCOME!

    I’m so glad you’re here.

    Buying a car is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make — and it should feel exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. Over the past 7+ years in the auto industry, I’ve helped hundreds of people find the right car for their life and budget, and I take pride in making the process both thorough and efficient.

    My approach is simple: listen first, guide with honesty, and always respect your time. Whether it’s your very first car, your next lease, or the hybrid you’ve been waiting for, my goal is to save you money, protect your investment, and make sure you drive away feeling confident about your choice.

    Most of my customers tell me the same thing: that I made everything easy to understand, and the paperwork painless. That’s exactly how I believe car buying should feel.

    If you’re ready to make your next car move simple, smart, and stress-free, I’d love to help. Whether it’s buying, leasing, selling, or refinancing, I’ll walk you through every step so you feel confident in your decision. The fastest way to reach me is to call or text me at (760) 270-0745 or send me an email — I’ll personally respond and help you get started right away.

    Both. Moms don’t get to choose — we’re on call 24/7.

    Currently binging

    Disney movies on repeat — but if I get control of the remote, it’s Black Mirror.

    Top 5 Car Buyer FAQs

    If you like a new car every few years and want lower monthly payments, leasing might be best. If you want to own your car and keep it for a long time, buying is usually smarter. I’ll help you figure out which one saves you the most money.

    Yes! Hybrids use less gas so you spend less at the pump. They can also have better resale value when you’re ready for your next car. Over time, that means more money in your pocket.

    Most people put 10% to 20% down, but it really depends on your budget. Putting more down means smaller monthly payments. If you want to keep more cash in your pocket, we can find a payment plan that still works for you.

    Yes! Lots of people do this. If your car is worth more than you owe, the extra money goes toward your next car. If you owe more than it’s worth, I’ll explain your options so it’s simple and stress-free.

    The “best” way depends on your credit and your goals. Sometimes low APR offers are better, sometimes leasing saves more. I’ll show you side-by-side options so you can choose what feels right for you.
