At Gatorland Toyota, we're more than just a Gettel dealership, although we have 17 sister stores throughout Florida. There are a lot of things that make us stand out from the rest, from our Gettel Xpress shopping experience to all the perks of buying or leasing from us, like our 3-Day Exchange program to a free car wash with every service.

New Vehicle Sales

Gettel's Got It for a number of reasons beyond treating our customers with respect and offering a great selection of cars, trucks and SUVs, including the popular Camry and Highlander.

I was so pleased with my experience this week at Gatorland Toyota I couldn't wait to write a review for them. I have been down on dealerships my entire life. This is the first time I have had multip Gatorland Toyota I couldn't wait to write a review for them. I have been down on dealerships my entire life. This is the first time I have had multiple dealings with a service department and really walked away happy I went there. I am more excited then ever that I own a Toyota because I know where to take it and what to expect. It is like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. The shuttle driver Jim made me feel like part of the family. He made leaving my car at the dealership a breeze. Leonard kept in contact with me and made sure everything was perfect. I am looking forward to my next visit to Gatorland Toyota! More

AN UNETHICAL DEALERSHIP! AVOID! Toyota is a great make and has a great name behind it and this dealership tarnishes Toyota's name. Their knowledge of their own cars is limited to say the least, and their and has a great name behind it and this dealership tarnishes Toyota's name. Their knowledge of their own cars is limited to say the least, and their customer service is EXTREMELY POOR. After misinforming me of a car, and charging me for another model, I tried to work with the dealership in order to fix the transaction. I was brushed away and told that "This is a competitive business and that this was an unfortunate situation." After trying very hard to work with Gatorland, I went to the Better Business Bureau and went into arbitration. After six long months, the BBB awarded me with my favorable decision and is ordering Gatorland to compensate me accordingly. While this is great news for me, it makes me wonder how many other mistakes happen and how often they get away with unethical behavior. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER! Tampa and Ocala also have Toyota dealerships and provide lower prices. Combine that with the unethical behavior and lack of knowledge, this place is awful! More

Had been talking back and forth with the internet sales department. Made an offer on a new Corolla. After a few days and a few more emails back and forth, I got a reply that due to great sales this week, h department. Made an offer on a new Corolla. After a few days and a few more emails back and forth, I got a reply that due to great sales this week, he would match the price in my original email "out the door". I called to speak to him personally and to verify that it was a final out the door price. He assured me that it was but that the offer was only good for that day. It was Christmas eve. So we drove into Gainesville to pick up my christmas present, test drove the exact car I was picking up. Verified again it was that final price. Went to sign papers and he raised the price $2000. Said his out the door price didn't include some of the fees. We left without a car. Thanks for wasting my time on Christmas eve. More
