5 Star Dealership and Salesman, Russell Doddroe I have to say shopping for a car is not my idea of fun. I was buying a new car for my wife, not wanting a salesman aiming to pitch a sale to my wife a I have to say shopping for a car is not my idea of fun. I was buying a new car for my wife, not wanting a salesman aiming to pitch a sale to my wife at a premium car at a more premium price. I did my research and decided on checking out 4 different small SUV models and contacted multiple dealerships through TrueCar for the best price. My wife wanted the low cabin noise level and a smooth ride, I wanted safety, reliability, and a good price. Well Russel Doddroe was terrific. We test drove the RAV4, and while we were out on our test drive he went to work on his computer and printed out comparisons of the 4 make and models we were considering. We looked it over and he gave us his best price. We went on our way and drove 2 more different cars that day for a total of 5 cars. We had decided not to make a decision while tired so we continued car shopping the next day. We drove 2 more cars at different dealerships and and decided to talk with Russell and took another test drive in the RAV4. Smoothest and quietest ride for my wife; high reliability, great safety features and thanks to Russell, the best price. Then my wife spotted the moonroof and the nav system- base model out, XLE in and price up! Thanks to Russell the price increased only a little. So happy husband, happy wife...well you know the rest. Thank you Russell and Toyota Direct. More

Review for Russell Doddroe Russell Doddroe helped us with the purchase of two new vehicles this year. He did an excellent job of listening to our vision of a dream car and secur Russell Doddroe helped us with the purchase of two new vehicles this year. He did an excellent job of listening to our vision of a dream car and securing it for us. The first new car was purchased in December/January as a result of a company employee TrueCar internet inquiry. The first dealership (not Direct Toyota) could not supply the desired car unless it was a year older or if we ordered. Fortunately, Russell had made contact with us at the beginning of the car buying process. After the first dealership issues, we made contact again with Russell. He found the car and made sure it met all our requirements. The dealership Direct Toyota honored all prices from year end. During this time period, we found Russell to be a happy, positive professional with a “Can Do” attitude. He made our car buying experience a very positive and happy experience. He was patient, positive and persistent in securing our car with an easy going manner. Russell went well beyond expectation during the first car buying experience. In July, we decide to purchase a 2nd new car. We did not go to any other Toyota dealership because of our past experience and knowing Russell would take care of us. We called and met with Russell about the car specifications and he found the vehicle. Then, we changed our requirements a few times because of vehicle availability during an extensive search by Russell. It hard to put in words all the effort and time, but Russell did this with the same professional/happy experience that we had during our 1st car buying experience. Again Russell did an excellent job going above and beyond expectations in obtaining the vehicle we wanted. Buying a car with Russell’s expertise is like having your best friend looking out for you to get you the best car for the best price. More

4th car bought from this dealer-excellent sales experience I gave the excellent rating because this is the 4th unit purchased from this dealer group. This is the 2nd time that Russell has helped us with a new I gave the excellent rating because this is the 4th unit purchased from this dealer group. This is the 2nd time that Russell has helped us with a new car purchase. They do not pressure you in any way and are always patient and willing to serve. I have tried to deal with other dealers (Toyota) even closer to my home with little success and I have left angry, upset and disappointed. Not the case with Direct. Not the case with Russell. They are true professionals and my wife and I have already counseled our children to buy vehicles from Direct. Russell is a real gentleman, kind and caring. No pressure! I like this in a dealership and I like it even more in a salesman! I would recommend Russell and Direct to any friend for the purchase of a new or used vehicle. Russell - thank you for your pateince and great service - purchasing a 2016 Corolla for our daughter whose Scion Xb was totaled just days before was a gentle and pleasant experience. WE are AGAIN happy customers! More

Easy to work with, will go above and beyond I've now leased two vehicles from Toyota Direct, and have had the pleasure of working with Russell Doddroe both times. Russell is easy to relate t I've now leased two vehicles from Toyota Direct, and have had the pleasure of working with Russell Doddroe both times. Russell is easy to relate to and makes the process simple. This most recent time he was able to run numbers for me on a number of different models as I was a bit indecisive as far as what I was looking for. He never acted as if it was any trouble and spent quite a bit of time with me to make sure I ended up with a vehicle I really wanted. While looking at new leases I also was able to have my prior lease serviced for its 20,000 mile complimentary maintenance, which was super convenient had I not made a decision that day. It's hard to beat ToyotaCare's two-year complimentary service (every 5,000 miles) and is another reason I love leasing from Toyota Direct. Car buying/leasing can be stressful, but Russell and Toyota Direct have helped reduce a lot of that anxiety and I've really enjoyed leasing from them. More

Best Salesman, Finance Rep and Customer Service For a few weeks we had been looking at used and new vehicles at Toyota dealerships in the Columbus, OH area. We went to Toyota Direct and met salesman For a few weeks we had been looking at used and new vehicles at Toyota dealerships in the Columbus, OH area. We went to Toyota Direct and met salesman Russell Doddroe. He was very helpful ( and successful) to find the right vehicle for us. Russell was professional, knowledgeable and patient, as was Issac in the Finance Dept. Everyone we met was friendly and willing to assist a customer even if you were already working with a certain sales rep. We were very impressed overall with Toyota Direct staff. Highly recommend this dealership as well as Russell and Issac. An extra special thank you Russell and Issac, we are very happy with our 2016 Toyota Highlander! It was a true pleasure working with both of you. More

First time care owners - Made it easy! My husband and I came in to Toyota Direct having never owned a car before and we were very hesitant about making a decision. We visited several dealer My husband and I came in to Toyota Direct having never owned a car before and we were very hesitant about making a decision. We visited several dealerships (Mazda, Honda, multiple Toyotas) to compare similar models and once we arrived at Toyota Direct, Ivan and Russell were extremely patient and helpful and answered all of our questions thoroughly without being pushy - even when we thought of questions after business hours. When we decided we wanted to move forward, they made the process as easy as possible. We're thrilled with our new RAV4 and highly recommend Ivan, Russell and Toyota Direct as a whole! More
