Autonation Toyota Corpus Christi

In the fall of '09 I purchased my used 2009 Tacoma from a private individual. He recomended Scott Evans as his service advisor. I contacted Scott and set up our first visit to the Corpus Christi Champion T a private individual. He recomended Scott Evans as his service advisor. I contacted Scott and set up our first visit to the Corpus Christi Champion Toyota. He proved everytime to be an excellant service person. Scott has assisted me with my truck ever since (he's awesome). Two weeks ago I called Scott and scheduled my truck for servicing. While waiting on my truck to be serviced (which took less than an hour) I told him I was looking for a used vehicle for the wife. He introduce me to Leonard Espinoza (TCUV Sales Consultant). Leo told me of a a 2009 Highlander he had just received. I thanked him and said I would tell the wife about it. He gave me his card. The following Saturday I called Leo and told him we would like to come and see the Highlander. He said come on over. When we arrived one of the sales person greeted us on the lot. I told him we were here to see Leo. He went and brought Leo to us. Leo said he was currently with another customer and asked if it would be alright if Tom Sanchez could assist us with the vehicle. Tom showed us the Highlander. He let the wife test drive it along with several other wehicles on the lot(she did not know if she wanted a car or a SUV). After spending a several hours with Tom we agreed the Highlander was the vehicle she was interested in and Tom and I began discussing price. I told him we would think about it over the weekend. He offered to let us take it home over the weekend and we said said no thank you. Monday morning I called Tom and the rest is history. Now not only am I a proud owner of a Toyota but so is the wife. Many Thanks to Scott, Leo, and Tom at Corpus Christi Champion Toyota. REAGAN ARNOLD More

Didn't know what to expect when we pulled up. We just knew what we had to put down and what we needed. Lucky for us Stephen Conner happen to be right there to help us. Right at the introduction he went s knew what we had to put down and what we needed. Lucky for us Stephen Conner happen to be right there to help us. Right at the introduction he went straight to work. We felt like we were shopping with a friend. Once he helped us find our car, Jeff then came in and walk us through every detail of the financing and warranty extras. Again Jeff made of feel like we were talking with a friend. We both walk out with smiles and the perfect automobile for our family!!!!!!! Thanks again More

It was hands down the best car buying experience I had. Definitely worth the drive from Houston!! I would do it again. As I said, I live in Houston, TX and my lease was about due on my vehicle so I nee Definitely worth the drive from Houston!! I would do it again. As I said, I live in Houston, TX and my lease was about due on my vehicle so I needed to buy a new car. A friend of mine from Houston recommended that I consider looking at Champions Toyota in Corpus Christi. He bought his last Tundra there and said that he had a great experience with Champions. It was a bit far for me and I was skeptical that it would be worthwhile, but I'm big on personal recommendations so thought I would give it a chance. I called in to Champions and was immediately connected with Paul Beaudoin in their sales department. In short order I told him was I was looking for and at what price. In less than 30 minute, Paul called me back with the exact vehicle I wanted and at the price that I asked for. Everyone I dealt with, from their sales department to their service department, was extremely helpful and friendly. They made the whole buying experience EASY. The things that stood our most was that Scott Abplanalp, their Reconditioning Manager, did a thorough walk-thru with me to make sure I was 100% satisfied. They detailed the car before I got there. It's easy when things go well, but the true test is when there are issues. Since I was buying a used Jeep, I didn't expect everything would be perfect and as it turned out, I found that the jack was missing. It was pretty minor, so I thought that they wouldn't give it too much attention. To my surprise, Paul went out of his way to order me a new jack and had it shipped immediately to my house in Houston. Great attention to detail and service. More

Love this dealership. I have purchased from them in the past and again today and found them to be straight forward, honest and ready to make a fair deal on both new and used vehicles. I also really liked past and again today and found them to be straight forward, honest and ready to make a fair deal on both new and used vehicles. I also really liked their online connection which I looked at before I went in. They actually had the vehicles on special that they listed. Frank Favre, my salesman, is great and made my decision to purchase easy. He paid attention to what I wanted in a vehicle and did not waste my time trying to sell me vehicles that were not within my parameters. He found me the exact used vehicle I wanted and the entire deal did not take 2 hours. And I had shopped the car dealership strip up and down SPID before I went to Champion. Ich. And then I found Frank at Champion Toyota, Corpus Christi, Texas. Frank took my offers and counter offers to the management (who was also great and the same gentleman I knew from the purchase of a new Tundra in 2006-Champion must be doing something right to have kept this guy for so many years!)...and did not insult me by making faces and grimaces during negotiations. On the contrary, his boisterous laughs, sense of humor and big smile were so refreshing. And their finance department is not one that keeps you waiting and waiting. They already had arrangements in place with my financial institution, which saved me from another stop. I should mention that I am an "average joe", not a high roller and looked ragged after gardening and I was still treated with respect by everyone from the man opening the front door to the receptionist and everyone I ran into. Not one salesman hovered or made me uncomfortable. It is a small thing, but I really appreciated the cold bottles of water and coke! I also appreciated the open atmosphere and cleanliness of the dealership. You won't find a bunch of guys lined up on a fence out front staring at each person driving up like a bunch of vultures (i.e. Eddie Yaklin dealership). Not at Champion Toyota! So, cudos to this dealership, my salesman, Frank Favre and the entire place. Way to go, guys. I have used their service department before and know by experience that it is top notch too. I am not a spring chicken and I recognize a good business when I am in one. Nice to know where to go when I or anyone I know needs a car...yup, that will be Champion Toyota. KH More

I drove 2 hours to purchase a vehicle they told me that they would have ready for me. They never got the vehicle and tried to sell me a vehicle I did not want. After all the haggling and hassle they gave m they would have ready for me. They never got the vehicle and tried to sell me a vehicle I did not want. After all the haggling and hassle they gave me we had to leave home to another 2 hour drive mad and disappointed. The manager or owner would not even budge to get us a good deal after their screw up. Even tried to low ball us on our trade-in. The most dishonest and unpleasant dealer that I have delt with. Do Not Go!! More

Run! These people are very greedy and hard to work with! Very Dishonest! I felt too much pressure and they held my trade-in hostage. They would give me the keys to my car back! I asked to speak with the Very Dishonest! I felt too much pressure and they held my trade-in hostage. They would give me the keys to my car back! I asked to speak with the manager and they said he was out of town. I do not recommend this place to anyone! More

Not competitive on price. Kept showing me cars that I wasn't interested in. Pricing was very evasive, and included fees that I shouldn't have to pay. Did not have the car on the lot that I wanted, so man wasn't interested in. Pricing was very evasive, and included fees that I shouldn't have to pay. Did not have the car on the lot that I wanted, so manager kept showing me other cars that I wasn't interested in. High-pressure selling tactics that turned me off. Not interested in trying to please the customer by actually listening to what I wanted. When the manager realized that I wasn't going to be an "easy" sell, the manager was not interested in selling me a car. Manager then adapted a "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude. So to say the least, I ended up buying a car, but NOT from this dealership. More
