Blake Carver

I’ve known of the Toy Barn for several years before coming out here. I used to see their listings on eBay motors as well as Autotrader all the time, wondering what this place would be like to actually coming out here. I used to see their listings on eBay motors as well as Autotrader all the time, wondering what this place would be like to actually visit. I finally reached out to them about a Jaguar F-Type and scheduled an appointment to see it. Arriving here, my first impression was a bit intimidating. Walking past an almost quarter million dollar McLaren, parked next to an even more expensive Ferrari. At that time, I’d never imagined owning something like that, or if it’d even be possible. I feel very fortunate to have been given my sales rep, Blake Carver. He treated me very well. I felt comfortable talking about whatever it was that was on my mind with him, and he’s a very down to earth guy himself. This was the beginning of my relationship with the Toy Barn, and it was a very positive and enjoyable experience. Since that day with the Jaguar, I’ve been back several times, a couple times just to window shop. Blake has always been gracious with his time. I did eventually buy a McLaren from him. It’s not everyday you inquire about something like that, but he took me seriously and never once made me feel like maybe I was out of my mind for asking the question. He will bend over backwards to do what he can for his clients. This guy will reply to my texts on his days off. He went on a Caribbean cruise and was still replying to my texts. He once drove a car out to my house over an hour away. I’ve talked with him about cars at other dealers or private party listings and he’s asked if I wanted him to try to get it for me. I’ve never once encountered a sales rep like this before. If he leaves the Toy Barn, I believe it will be a great loss for them. He’s a true asset to their brand, and I don’t think they’re fully aware of it. He actually probably needs a raise, just for the amount of time he’s spent on me. As for the dealership itself, it’s very clean and the showrooms are loaded full of exotics and/or muscle cars. There are actually multiple showrooms spread out across the property, and some of them are in buildings that aren’t always manned and can be locked at times. I’ve read that others have complained about this, but in today’s world you can’t leave a hellcat in an unsecured building unless you’re asking for it to disappear. You also can’t not have a hellcat at a dealership like this, because they’re trying to appeal to everyone. My recommendation, is to make an appointment and to ask for Blake, tell him what you’re interested in, and just have a blast. More

As we waited for this car to come from California. Pavel kept us up to date on everything even if he was not working that day. It was the best experience ever purchasing a vehicle.
