Mike, Kevin, and Louis were excellent! They were easy to work with, no high pressure to buy tactics, and we got the car the same day - something I didn't expect to happen! They were the lo More

Arina Romanovskaya Made things way more complicated and frustrating when it didn’t need to be & was rude. I purchased a new rav 4 from them and she was annoying and hard to work with. I would never purcha More

We wanted to acknowledge your posting on DealerRater and extend our apology. We know deal structures can be complex, especially when names are changed, pre-approval drafts have a variance, name only on the vehicle registration, pending proof of insurance, with multiple funding opportunities such as Navy Federal and School First. Thank you for sharing your viewpoint with our Sales Director Paul Kim.

Unfortunately it’s not that complicated nor should it be. Especially when the user has brought the proper legal documents to show proof that everything is in order and correct. And even more so when the sales representative has the user call up the banking Institute five separate occasions and the banks say that it’s OK everything will clear and be OK with 5 separate representatives saying it’s OK. Then the sales person says “ I have been selling cars and I’ve never seen someone put two people onto one title. The bank will 100 reject this” Then 4 days later the check clears and everything goes though. Instead of the sales person (Arina Romanovskaya ) apologizing for the huge inconvenience, it had caused making me go back multiple times. Knowing I live a couple of hours away She acted like nothing ever happened. I can tell Arina Romanovskaya was not happy when the banking Institute representatives all said the exact same thing that it was. She would purposely rephrase the question multiple times confusing both parties trying to get a different response. That was inaccurate. - when she wasn’t getting the response that satisfied her she just got more and more upset. The proper course of action from the beginning should have been hey this is all super new to us. As a precondition we’re are going to do X , X and X , if everything goes though then X will happen and knowing you live a bit away we can offer vehicle delivery . But instead I had to talk with Paul and within 3 minutes of speaking with him we were both on the same page and understanding of the situation. When I had requested to talk to Paul Arina got upset and made a remark saying how she’s “never had anyone attempt to talk to her manger before .” I had to ask Paul to meet me in the middle and explain things that Arina wasn’t explaining, then I had to request for the vehicle to be delivered. The delivery was going to take too long to get. I still had to come down and pick it up. Also your reply shouldn’t have the customers personal banking information to try and DOX them. Overall I’m very disappointed and dissatisfied with the dealership and how they tend to handle / communicate overall.

We wanted to acknowledge your posting and extend our apology for any dissatisfaction you may have. Although we know buying | leasing a vehicle is a very big decision, today’s market is very demanding, especially on the Toyota Highlander. We were able to discuss your visit thoroughly with all those involved and the expectation of wanting more of a price reduction in the cost on a very sought after model, was something we were not able to offer. We’re sorry for any disconnect you have and your feedback has been noted
