Advantage Toyota Valley Stream

We recommend that everybody who wants to buy a new car while trading in an old one, go to Advantage Toyota to get prompt, professional and friendly Customer Service. We recently bought a new 2013 Toyota while trading in an old one, go to Advantage Toyota to get prompt, professional and friendly Customer Service. We recently bought a new 2013 Toyota RAV4 from Advantage Toyota dealer. And our experience with Advantage Toyota was extraordinary. Before we came to Advantage Toyota, we shopped around, visiting two other Toyota dealers. We just wasted our time (about 2.5 hours) trying to negotiate our Toyota RAV4 2007 trade-in price without being able to make a deal. Therefore, we were satisfied when Toyota Advantage Sales Representative Mr. Willie Griszell and Manager offered us a reasonable trade-in price and didn't charge a manufacturer price for a new car (like the other dealers did). Thus, without bargaining, we made a very good deal giving us an affordable price for a model RAV4 XLE (rather than the LE we had planned to buy before based on our budget). Moreover, on the next day we received a phone call from Mr. Willie Griszell that we can pick up our new car in our desired color. We had expected to wait 2-3 days as we had been told before because the color we wanted was not in stock. Our special thanks to Sales Representative Mr. Willie Griszell who was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable . Three days later Willie Griszell even followed up with another phone call to ensure that we were satisfied and find out if we had any questions or concerns. More

After receiving a Safety Recall Notice (SRS/ ECM) I scheduled an appointment on 4/4/13. At my arrival Advisor Kenya Augustin informed me they ran out of parts and advised me to return the next day aft scheduled an appointment on 4/4/13. At my arrival Advisor Kenya Augustin informed me they ran out of parts and advised me to return the next day after verifying with the parts & service department the part would be available. I asked if I need to schedule a 2nd appointment, she replied NO here is my business card. I informed her I will return on 4/5 at 1145, she said fine. NEVER apologized for the inconvenience! The next day at my surprise she informed me they ran out of parts AGAIN. I asked what was the point of scheduling an appointment? Why no one contacted me to cancel. She replied with an attitude the list I can say is rude “Come back another day early, nothing I can do, you heard it they don’t have the part”. I was in shock. Does she even know what customer service means? Again, not even an apology. I asked for the manager. She pointed to the back office. The manager was on the phone. I waited for a while then left. The situation seemed a little fishy so I called the next day on 4/6/13 around 10 am to verify if the part is available and was informed they ran out again. I find that to be hard to believe. I had the worst experience, ever. Their customer service is at best poor. Their facility has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. At this point I am questioning their willingness to repair the defect. I would like to remind you this is a SAFETY recall. I would be seeking legal advice and submitting a complaint to the Administrator NHTSA. More

Problem was not fixed. I need it to be fixed at no additional charge, I told the Rep about the noise from the bottom of the vehicle and they should check the back wheel bearings. additional charge, I told the Rep about the noise from the bottom of the vehicle and they should check the back wheel bearings.

My experience with the service rep, Nicole Hopson was great. She was quick and efficient and arranged for me to have a ride home because the wait was going to be long. She also sent the driver back to pi great. She was quick and efficient and arranged for me to have a ride home because the wait was going to be long. She also sent the driver back to pick me up and had my paperwork ready upon my return. She made for a very pleasant service experience. However the showroom experience wasn't as pleasant. I wanted to see what the new Rav4 looked like o before I left, I went over to the dealer. side. I walked in to three men standing at the desk. They just looked at me and no one said hello until I did. None of them or anyone else for that matter asked if I needed help. I got in the Rav4, I looked around, got out and opened the trunk and walked around the car. During all of that and as I was leaving not one person asked if I needed help. They didn't know what I was there for. I have been unhappy with my car from the start. First it was finding out that the doors didn't auto lock and all that went on with that. I sat in service for a really long time on the promise that it could be programmed when it couldn't. When I called Toyota corporate, they weren't helpful either. Now less than a year later, there is a new model. I'm afraid to ask if those doors auto lock! More

I think the level of Ms. Kenya Augustin professionalism is the reason I will purchase anther car from Toyota. When you buy a car your relationship with the salesman is very short lived. The person that you is the reason I will purchase anther car from Toyota. When you buy a car your relationship with the salesman is very short lived. The person that you will be dealing with for the next few years is the service department they are your front line employees. They are the ones you depend on to keep your car running and in good condition. Kenya Augustin is a person I will always ask for when I service my cars. More

Shana went above and beyond for me and even picked us up from home. Happy with the car purchase. Though I think the Manager could have knocked off some more, Igot a good deal. from home. Happy with the car purchase. Though I think the Manager could have knocked off some more, Igot a good deal. More
