Autonation Toyota Corpus Christi

I am very satisfied with the overall buying experience I had recently in purchasing my used Toyota Camry from their Champion Certified Center on 3400 South Padre Island Drive.There was absolutely no sales p had recently in purchasing my used Toyota Camry from their Champion Certified Center on 3400 South Padre Island Drive.There was absolutely no sales pressure....I felt relaxed and quite frankly have never had such a laid back experience buying a car. The salesman and used car manager were great...friendly and non aggressive. They gave me a great price on my car and went the extra mile to touch up some chips and dings on the car. When I pick up the car it had full tank of gas and the car was spotless inside and out (they do good detailing). I am really impressed with the overall experience I had. I will absolutely recommend this to my friends or anyone. More

I really enjoyed my car buying experience at Champion Toyota. I worked Frank Favre, he was very pleasant and easy to deal with.

I knew what car I wanted and Champion Toyota was the only Toyota dealer in Corpus Christi that had a gently used Toyota Corolla Sport. I saw it online, called the sales dept. and met my salesman, Mark Bever Toyota dealer in Corpus Christi that had a gently used Toyota Corolla Sport. I saw it online, called the sales dept. and met my salesman, Mark Beverly, that night. The next day, the papers were signed and I drove home with the car I wanted! I had fast, friendly, efficient service. Thank you Mr. Beverly! More

The reason I came to Champion Toyota because I was referred to a Sale Associate Lupe Hernandez. My Friend came home one evening with a vehicle he bought from Lupe Hernandez and could not say enough g referred to a Sale Associate Lupe Hernandez. My Friend came home one evening with a vehicle he bought from Lupe Hernandez and could not say enough great things about Lupe. I had bought a Honda Accord a year earlier to the date I went in to see Lupe about exchanging the Honda for a Toyota. I has some reservations but when my Friend kept telling me about the great experience he always receives from Toyota as well as the Service Department from Scotty Evens I had to see for myself. Well I came in and was greeted by Lupe, and Alex Castro they were very professional and polite. The Finance Manager Alex Salinas was very polite and made the financing effort-less. I didn't have to do anything they served me popcorn, drinking water, and even put in a DVD on a wide screen TV for my entertainment. I honestly can say this was the best experience I've ever had buying a vehicle. Keep these guys around and I will continue to come back and tell my friends there is no place like Champion Toyota of Corpus Christi. More

I let my salesperson Paul know ahead of time, over the phone, what I was looking for in a new vehicle. He did all of the leg work before I walked-in so that I would not have to spend a lot of time searchi phone, what I was looking for in a new vehicle. He did all of the leg work before I walked-in so that I would not have to spend a lot of time searching for something that would meet my needs. By the time I arrived at the dealership, Paul had narrowed down my options so that within a couple of hours I was able to leave with a new 2011 Toyota Camry. Everyone at Champion Toyota made me comfortable while I was there. I would definitely use them again. More

At first, I went to Champion Toyota in hopes of just browsing their selection and to think about what cars they had. Then, right after I walked on to the lot, Jim Finnegan introduced himself to me. He s browsing their selection and to think about what cars they had. Then, right after I walked on to the lot, Jim Finnegan introduced himself to me. He struck me differently than any other salesmen that I had seen that day. The others were only interested in figures and getting me to buy today, or worse wouldn't even look at me since I'm only 18. Jim was right away asking me what I needed, and how he could make it work for me. The first time I went to his lot it was about 15 minutes before closing, but that didn't matter to him. He offered to drive around to the other eleven lots to help me look at what they had. Living about an hour away from Corpus, I declined, but thanked him for his time and give him my number (as I did with the other salesmen I met that evening). The next day, Jim was the only person to call me and follow up. His call wasn't just a "Hey, how ya doin'" type call, but instead he had looked at his inventory and told me about what he thought would fit my needs as a college student. I thanked him and went on with my day at work. The following day (Saturday), I returned to Corpus mid morning to look at some more lots with hopes at buying. I visited a few of the lots owned by Champion's rivals, but was met with either a selection way out of my price range or by salesmen who wouldn't give me the time of day (often both). As I drove past the lot where I had met him, I decided to give Jim a call, and see if he was there. He answered warmly, and told me to see him. I arrived at his lot, and started looking at cars within my price range. Eager to show me other cars I might enjoy, Jim grabbed some keys to the "manager's special" (a 2000 Buick LeSabre), and said he had a few cars he thought I'd like just down the road. I got into the car, and we were off to visit several lots. The whole ride Jim entertained me with stories about his family and life, while at the same time taking in what I would want in a vehicle. Over the next few hours, Jim and I looked at (and drove) several different cars in my price range. I found a Ford Focus, and thought it was an OK car for me, but didn't feel too right about buying it. We drove back to Jim's office, and started doing paper work on the Focus. I didn't feel too comfortable with it, and I think Jim saw that in my face as we discussed how far apart we were on price. He suggested the comfortable Buick LeSabre that I was already fond of. He and I (and the all important stern manager) discussed price on both cars. I had made an offer on both of them, but Jim couldn't make it happen for me right then and there. I got up and went to lunch to think about my first real car purchase. At lunch I made some calls to my family and my mechanic to talk about what had happened so far that day. My mechanic and I talked about some minor cosmetic issues of the LeSabre, and about the uneasy feelings I had about the other cars that I was originally intent on getting. He told me that the price and condition was more than right with the LeSabre, so I decided to go back and visit Jim after lunch. I came back to the lot and was greeted by the gregarious Jim (and manager from afar). I went in and made them an offer a little bit lower than their counter offer had been on the LeSabre, and it was immediately OK'd by his manager. Jim shook my hand, smiled, and said congratulations. He finished up his end of the paperwork, and passed it on to the friendly financial manager of his office. While my paperwork was getting finished up, he asked me how long I had til I needed to leave. "I'm fine the rest of the day" I replied, "why?". He said through his genuine smile, "well, if you have an hour or so, I can go wash your new car for you when I go gas it up". I thanked him, and said it would be great. While he was out, I told everybody about the great deal I got at Champion, put it up on Facebook, and everything else an average young adult would be expected to do after just promising to spend more money at one time than ever before in his life. I was called into the accountant's office, and started to do some paperwork with him. He and I talked about college and high school and friends while I read my contracts. He was more than fair, and explained every paper he put in front of me. He even gave me some tips about building credit since I was paying for my vehicle in cash (check). Jim returned shortly to take me to the main Champion building where my now gleaming LeSabre was parked. Along the way we talked, and I felt like I had made more than just a business transaction, I felt like I had made a friend out of Jim. We arrived at the main building to put on my dealer plates. On the way to my new car, I met the general manager of all the lots in Corpus Christi. He smiled, shook my hand, and thanked me for my purchase, and told me to give them a call if anything was wrong. I shook Jim's hand one last time, and drove my like-new Buick home. Jim Fennigan is a gentleman, a genuine person, and a great man to spend a day with looking at cars to say the least. If I had it to do again, I would definitely skip going to the other dealerhips, not spend as much time looking at cars online that sell "just a few hours before I got there", and buy through Jim. I recommend him to anybody looking for an honest, genuine guy to by any vehicle, new or used. More

I went to several dealers in Corpus Christi and I found that i went back to Champion with Jim Finnegan because he was the friendly salesman I had work with this time when I was looking for a car.

He always kept in touch with me and took me to several of his lots to make sure I would find what I was looking for. And I did. I am very happy with my vehicle. More

I have purchased vehicles for over 20 years of my professional life. As with all experiences, there have been both positive and negative ones over the years. I must say that the experience at Champ professional life. As with all experiences, there have been both positive and negative ones over the years. I must say that the experience at Champion rates as the absolute best of all my car experiences. Even though this was a late model used car, I received much better service and attention than many new car purchases I have made. Victor stayed in regular contact without being pushy. Albert followed up, thanked me for my business, and verified that they had delivered quality service. Dealing with finance (Chance) was a breeze as well. From the moment, I walked into the dealership, to test drive, negotiations, and purchase it was a total of one hour. The whole staff was courteous and helpful. The true test of customer service is (1) Will I go back? and (2) will I recommend to others? The answer is definitely YES. Thanks for an awesome experience! Mitch More
