Not too long after arriving we browsed a few options Products. My wife and I just stopped by to see if the time was right for us to buy a new Toyota.

Three visits to the dealership already and no one can tell me when my parts will be in. Service dept told me they will call me, but never did. Over five weeks now waiting for part. One hand does not kno tell me when my parts will be in. Service dept told me they will call me, but never did. Over five weeks now waiting for part. One hand does not know what the other is doing. Worst thing is, this is Toyota's airbag recall. So, for years now, my Air bag lights was not working.... The Parts Dept. gave me the wrong metal gasket. Had to use the old one and return the new. Very frustrating. I will never buy a car there. This is by far the worst dealership and I have been to many. More
While awaiting service to replace a bulb at Harr, service rep came to me and said I needed an entire new bulb assembly and was quoted over a thousand dollars. I went to another dealer for second opinion and rep came to me and said I needed an entire new bulb assembly and was quoted over a thousand dollars. I went to another dealer for second opinion and they said I did not need any assembly and replaced the bulb. This is licensed thievery and flagrant fraud. This practice is unconscionable and should be stopped by the Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Fraud. More
Initially i was a bit intimidated by the "big" delaership feel at Harr. From my very first sales appointment to the very last one, i was simply amazed by the personal level of customer service i delaership feel at Harr. From my very first sales appointment to the very last one, i was simply amazed by the personal level of customer service i received. Laura (saleswoman) was prompt for each appointment. There was no waiting around wondering what was going on. I feel that she heard my voice, and gave me an opportunity to purchase a vehicle that I desired. For once, i did not feel as if a dealership tried to shoved a car down my throat! 10 weeks later, i am still thrilled about my purchase, and have no regrets about it at all! Once my vehicle was selected, the financing was seamless as well. Jessenia was very prompt, professional and courteous with no hidden agenda. I had done some research so I already knew Harr offered the best price for my purchase in the area. I had no idea that not only would i get the best pricing, but with more options as well!! I am still extremely satisfied with my purchase and i think if you are in the business for a new or even used car, consider Harr in your search. I do believe if you put the time in and do some research, you will fare well wherever you go, but it was a great feeling not having to fight or haggle for what i was looking for :-) More
Went to Harr in October on the recommendation from a friend. She pointed us to see Derrick. Derrick came across as a very nice person. We looked at a number of Camry's and pick out one we really love friend. She pointed us to see Derrick. Derrick came across as a very nice person. We looked at a number of Camry's and pick out one we really loved. We both have no-so-stellar credit, and we informed Derrick of this. We had enough money to pay for the car, outright, but we wanted to build up out credit. He let us know that Harr would run our numbers through 8-10 different banks and credit unions to get the best deal. We had to leave Harr, which is in Worcestor, to pick up our some from school in Connecticut. Derrick said he would keep in touch with us and keep us posted on what's going on. We were gone for 2-3 hours before we were finally able to get back to Harr. Derrick, nor anyone else from there, called us to let us know how things were going. After we got back to Harr, we had to wait a while...maybe 45 minutes...before were were able to talk to the financial girl. We were taken back to the financial office to sign the paperwork. No one had mentioned where the loan was through, what out loan rate was....just handed us the paperwork for us to sign. When I got to the page where the interest rate shown, that was when I saw WHAT the rate was. We were financed through Toyota Credit for a %19 loan. Now, after we initially talked to Harr about getting a car, I went to my local bank and check with them to see what I would get for an interest rate. My bank said %8.9, and that Harr should be able to get me a lower one. Guess what??? Harr didn't!!! We went ahead and signed the paperwork KNOWING that we were going to immediately pay off the car outright. We bought the car with Sirius XM radio. Ever since we bought the car, the radio has had an issue with losing satellite signal....even on CLEAR CLOUDLESS DAYS!!!! I took the car back about 2 weeks after we bought it to have the radio checked. Harr's service department said there was a code in the radio that they couldn't clear, and they would order us a new one. It should be about a week for the radio to come in. After a month, I called Harr to find out where our new radio was, and they told me it was on backorder. Gee, nice of them to call me and let me know. I was told it'd be in in a week....another month went by, and no radio. I called Harr to find out where it was...STILL on backorder....GEE, AGAIN, nice to keep me posted after dropping serious money on a new car....guess what??? I was told, AGAIN, it'd be a week....after a little more than a week of not hearing anything, I called them up asking if my radio was in or should I just forget about it and deal with it. They told me they'd check on it and call me back. After a couple days, they called me back and said they had the radio in and I needed to schedule an appt to get it taken care of. I finally got up to Harr about a week later to get it installed......tok about 1/5 hours. Guess what??? The radio STILL loses signal on clear cloudless days!!!!! NOT impressed with Harr!!!! More
My name is edward bushard i went to purchase a 2013 corolla on 10/18/12, the dealership advertises perfect pricing and a 48 hour money back guarentee no questions asked. on 10/19/12 i was told the car corolla on 10/18/12, the dealership advertises perfect pricing and a 48 hour money back guarentee no questions asked. on 10/19/12 i was told the car would not be ready till 10/22/12, on 10/19/12 i went to another dealer and found the same car for $5000 less over the course of the loan so i called harr to cancel the order, they did not get back to me until 2 days later and had already processed the loan application and were paid by toyota credit. when I spoke to mike gross the general manager he told me that he would not give the money back to toyota credit and that i now own 2 new cars he also stated that he would buy the car back as a used car. Keep in mind this whole time the car has been sitting on the dealers lot and i never took posession of the car. In the mean time i am getting bills from toyota credit for this loan on a car that i do not have. when i talked with toyota credit they said that harr needs to refund the money to them but i needed to work it out with harr and that in the mean time i was responsible for the loan. Harr is falsely advertising there perfect pricing that they are the lowest price and that there is no negotiation. I found a lower price at the first dealership i went to, they also advetise 48 hour money back guarentee no questions asked, yet they are not refunding the money to toyota credit on a car i never took possession of.

I don't know what all the complaining is is seems t0 revolve around particular staff. Also it seems that most complaints come beacuse they won't haggle price and if you researched it it they give you th revolve around particular staff. Also it seems that most complaints come beacuse they won't haggle price and if you researched it it they give you the bottom price vs competitive market and options. Who wants to sit there for 3 hours haggling and negotiating price you should know what you are willing to spend and then go see if there is something to fit your budget. If you can't get a loan or financing because your credit score sucks that's not anybody elses fault except yours. I has a great experience. Pick my car up this week. Have a great day! More
We came in to buy a new avalon. My husband had done internet research and were told by Laura that they had a 2012 avalon that just came in and it was scratched coming off the truck, thus bringing the p internet research and were told by Laura that they had a 2012 avalon that just came in and it was scratched coming off the truck, thus bringing the price down significantly. We made an appointment to see this car two days later (on a weekend because going there required an hour's drive time.) Laura called on Friday to confirm the appointment and my husband again repeated the offer and confirmed again that this was the price. We got there and not only couldn't they "find" the car but instead tried to put us in a 2011 used avalon for the same price. We asked to see the team leader, Kevin Morais, who smiled and said it was an error on the website. He also lied and told us the internet director had called us to correct the misinformation, which was a blatant lie. I asked to speak to him directly. He was conveniently "not here today." I asked Kevin to call him at home I was so angry. I am in business also and if an important mistake was made such as this I would call my employee to deal with it. Not here at Harr Toyota. The tactic "Bait and switch" was alive and well here. We pointed that out to the team leader, whose skills might have qualified him as trash collector, told us it was not bait and switch if they made a mistake. There was no effort to help to mediate the situation or come up with other ideas to make the problem more palatable to us. After driving an hour and receiving such shabby treatment I will do all I can to blacken the reputation of Harr Toyota and point out what they really are, as others have pointed out, a bait and switch dealership with the skill level of ants.

The folks at Harr Toyota have completely lost their customer focus... entirely... 100%. They have gutted their dealership, getting rid of those typical sales people and over-inflated prices. Their new customer focus... entirely... 100%. They have gutted their dealership, getting rid of those typical sales people and over-inflated prices. Their new model features "Perfect Pricing", which means they've already applied a discount for you, and will NOT negotiate anything. This new policy allows them to no longer retain commissioned-based sales people, but instead use lower paid, more ill-informed "sales" people that basically take you for a test drive then hand you off to the finance person. While I feel that the price I was offered was fair, there are a few points that ruined this for me: 1) Lack of knowledge from my sales person, 2)The arrogant "You're too stupid to negotiate" attitude from Ken the finance guy 3) The new "get 'em in, get 'em out" approach that demeans the customer experience. First, the "sales" person assigned to me knew NOTHING of the car (and I was buying a Rav4, one of their most popular selling cars). "Oh look... this is rare. This 2009 Sport Model has a spare tire!" she said. So I pointed out that EVERY sport model on their lot had a spare, and then asked what made the sport model different. Her response? "Oh, the sport model doesn't have the spare tire". While on this lot, never once could this person offer one explanation as to what made the sport model different. Later when I got home (after NOT buying the Rav 4), I looked it up online and learned about the differences in suspension, features, and subtle styling... but for a sales person to not know why one model costs more than the other, or what makes a Rav4 Sport a "sport" is just rediculous. It's her JOB to know. Second, the finance guy was totally arrogant. After going on a test drive, I was ready to buy. When the finance guy comes over, he doesn't introduce himself or thank me for coming by. Instead, he says "Before we begin, how grateful are you to Harr for implementing perfect pricing and allowing you to forgoe the negotiating process?" I was shocked by this outright conceited arrogant "You should be thanking me" approach. I responded by telling him that "grateful" isn't the right word, but "Skeptical" is more appropriate. I explained that when I make a large purchase, I like to be able to negotiate. I told him that I have a price of what I will pay for a car, and its his job to use my trade in, wiggle room in his pricing, and different finance options to put me in the car at my price. I expected an explanation of how perfect pricing works, or even him to pull up comparably priced Rav4's from other dealers to show that their model was marketable: instead, he lectured me about how I didn't know what I was talking about, that I would never find a Rav4 with those options at that price, and that I should be more thankful. Finally, he told me that other dealers pay a commission to their sales people because they know how to negotiate and (actual quote) "Eat people like you alive." I nicely informed Ken that I, too, know how to negotiate, which is why I was leaving Harr without a deal. Finally, I was really put off by the obvious change in strategy from Harr's management. They no longer want to win lifelong customers based on a customer-centric approach, trust, or loyalty. Their goal is to simply get you in and get you out. If you don't wanna buy a car at their price, who cares... someone else will. I found that from the moment I stepped on the lot, everything about their dealership seemed to be geared toward efficiency, not the car buying experience. I've never seen sales people so clueless about the cars they are selling, nor have I ever worked with finance people who have THE NERVE to treat me like they're doing me a favor. I went to Harr to give them my business, and they made me feel like a poor little stupid consumer that needed to be told what I wanted and how much I'd pay. At the end of the day, I left Harr frustrated and angry. Not only did I not buy from Harr, but I shunned buying a Toyota all together. Harr is perfect for people who know exactly what they want in a car and are afraid of getting ripped off in the negotiating process. However, if you aren't sure about what to buy and want to explore, don't go here - I found that the employees here really don't know anything about their cars, except that "It's a Toyota, so ofcourse its good". If you value negotiating and want to work with your dealership to find a way to get you in the car you want, do not go here - no matter how much you plead or beg, their assessment of everything from their sales price to your trade in is completely up to their own deduction, so you can either take that or go elsewhere.

I really don't know why all car dealers can't be like Harr. Their approach is simple. They want to sell you a car at a fair price and take away all the haggling associated with a car purchase, so you dri Harr. Their approach is simple. They want to sell you a car at a fair price and take away all the haggling associated with a car purchase, so you drive away happy. We found Harr Toyota to be very low pressure and very easy to work with. Our salesperson, Dominic was a great guy. From the minute we walked into the dealership he was friendly and laid back. There was no "slick talk," only straight talk. All of the car prices are clearly marked on the vehicles, and there is no haggling, or "checking with the manager." We did a lot of online research before we went into Harr, and we new what we wanted and we found Harr to offer us a fair price. We actually bought 2 used Toyotas. Everything is explained up front, and we weren't hit with any surprises throughout the whole ordeal. Even the financing went smoothly. Jesse, the finance manager was very friendly and professional. She even stayed with us over an hour after the dealership closed, just to expedite the process. I would highly recommend visiting Harr. All of their prices are on their website, so you can do a lot of comparison shopping without even leaving home. Once you're at the dealership, you will find their approach to be a welcome change from all the stereotypes of the car-buying experience. More
