I came into the shop late afternoon, 5:30 p.m., because the call had stalled on me in the supermarket parking lot. Levi assessed the situation, laid out a time line for the repair, provided me with a ren the call had stalled on me in the supermarket parking lot. Levi assessed the situation, laid out a time line for the repair, provided me with a rental car and I was on my way. He called me the next day with an update on progress and actually had me back in my car in less than the original projected repair schedule. That was great service. Thanks. More

We had been preapproved for a Truck. The dealership had sent an email with a great price of $22,900 on a new 2012 double cab 5.7lt Tundra. We had worked with them for over 2 days via phone and email. I ver sent an email with a great price of $22,900 on a new 2012 double cab 5.7lt Tundra. We had worked with them for over 2 days via phone and email. I verified with the sales rep that this was the same vehicle and price we were getting before going to the dealership, when we arrived they had a used 2011 with over 800 miles on it and wanted over $2000.00 more. When I questioned the sales rep he said the email I got was of a vehicle they couldn't get if they wanted to. So it's the old bait and switch. More

In searching for a new car, I had looked into a few dealerships in the area and started out on a day where I would visit them all to find the best deal. My first stop was here and after working with Nu dealerships in the area and started out on a day where I would visit them all to find the best deal. My first stop was here and after working with Nuri Reed, it ended up being my only stop. Nuri was very knowledgable and was able to answer all my questions. She was very friendly, as was the rest of the staff I interacted with here. Nuri also worked with me to find exactly what I was looking for in the price range I needed it to be in. She was also very accommodating to my father and I. I ended up getting more than I was expecting thanks to her and the great staff at Gettel Toyota in Bradenton. I would definitely recommend the dealership to friends and family and would highly recommend them to work with Nuri. More

dear management; absolutely the worse car buying experience that i have ever had in the last 50 years of purchasing an automobile. the manager tried to increase the price of the car after i drove i experience that i have ever had in the last 50 years of purchasing an automobile. the manager tried to increase the price of the car after i drove it, on the bases of new tires and clean up of the car for the showing. I have never in my life of buying probably 25 autos had such an unpleasant experience. I do plan to report your dealership to the BBB for false advertising. the car was listed on "autotrader" for one price and he increased it a couple thousand dollars after I drove it. my name is Herbert P LaMee and I live at 1100 first ave, west bradenton, fl 34205 and my tel is 303/378-2367 and my email is herblamee@aol.com Please advise me how you consider your marketing approach to be legal. sincerely, herb laMee More

Henry did a fine job, with what he was dealt. We drove over 2 hours to look at a car advertised for just under $16,000 online, only to discover as we were on our test drive that we would HAVE to buy a war over 2 hours to look at a car advertised for just under $16,000 online, only to discover as we were on our test drive that we would HAVE to buy a warranty for an ADDITIONAL $1995 to complete the purchase. This was on an almost-new car, that still had over 2 years and 30,000 miles left on its original factory warranty. Needless to say, we left the dealership with our cash still in our pockets...someone could have made some money today, but it won't be Gettel. Henry was an eager and willing salesman and I hope he can find a worthy dealership. More

in 2008 we purchased a 2009 toyota corolla le ,the financial mmgr. told us that he had comtacted our credit union to finance the car but when we contacted the credit union that day for another matter financial mmgr. told us that he had comtacted our credit union to finance the car but when we contacted the credit union that day for another matter we were informed that in fact gettel toyota never contacted them at all. being upset about gettel lying to us we went there to return the 2009 corolla and the contract (not 24hrs later) and get back the 2007 we had traded in. they told us that the 2007 had already been delivered to a buyer. i'm sure that was another lie but at this point a lawyer would be needed to rsolve this matter. we could'nt afford to do this so we kept the 2009 (what else could we do?). we agreed to never do business with gettel ever again. on july 1st 2011 we recieved a call from rob williams (sales assoc.)for us to come in to see if we could get 0% intrest on our loan with them which is at 9%. it got to go there and after an hour or so (we informed rob that we didn't intend on buying a new car at this point because we're in the market for a house purchase and being prequalified couldn't buy anything to alter the prequalify deal. even after telling him (rob) that he said he would do whatever it to to lower our interest rate. after an hour or so the new car sales manager approches with a new car purchase deal to lower our interest rate exactly what we didn't want .this put us over the edge and to be sure we'll never buy or send anyone to gettel toyota or any of they're other dealerships ever. THAT'S FOR SURE!!!! gettel should be dealt with properly be the TOYOTA company , but i'm sure they'll let them go on liing to thery're customers as they have inthe past. whatever it takes to sell a car (lie,cheat and steal) only the consumer gets hurt.
