Recently I purchased a 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid from Arlington Toyota through sales associate Adam Ciemierzynski. He was very professional and pleasant to work with. He made the car-buying process from Arlington Toyota through sales associate Adam Ciemierzynski. He was very professional and pleasant to work with. He made the car-buying process so smooth, convenient, and fun. He went above and beyond to help me tread in my car and get the best payment option for not-so-great credit and Mauricio from the finance department made the process of signing paperwork effortless. I would recommend Adam to anyone if they looking to purchase a new or used car. He is the reason why I will always come back to Arlington Toyota. More
I have never been treated at such a high level of disrespect and disregard. I went to the Toyota dealership in Arlington Toyota in Palatine, Illinois to look into buying a Toyota. I had been to Hyund disrespect and disregard. I went to the Toyota dealership in Arlington Toyota in Palatine, Illinois to look into buying a Toyota. I had been to Hyundai, Honda, and Kia before this. I asked about the possibility of test driving cars, and the sales rep informed me that that wouldn't be possible considering the only one they had was in the showroom. He was not accomodating, nor informative about if there were any cars to drive nearby. He stated that Toyotas are the best and none of the other cars I drove that day come close to the Toyota. He also said "we don't even have to try at our jobs to sell these cars". Regardless of the great reputation of Toyota, I wanted to drive the car to compare it with others. I wanted to see the handling of the car, as well as the acceleration and visibility. This man had a complete disregard for us and told me that the car would be sold by either today or tomorrow. He was pushy and said that in order to TEST drive the car, I would need to put down a deposit and wait 6 weeks to 6 months just to test drive it. He then told me that even if all of that happened, I would get whatever they brought in and would have to wait 6 months to 1 year for the car. While these may be facts, the manner in which he stated these was like he was above us. Again, I understand that Toyota is a stellar brand (which is why I went to the dealership in the first place), but I would've expected that Toyota would have hired a more professional rep to display and encourage their sales. I was completely disappointed to say the least, as the RAV-4 was my dream affordable car and I no longer want a Toyota due to the ridiculous and discouraging experience I had at Arlington Toyota.

You responded to the review I left yesterday by saying I should contact John Pitchford "Customer Relations Manager". When I call and asked for Mr. Pitchford, the person that answered the phone said "er, uh, should contact John Pitchford "Customer Relations Manager". When I call and asked for Mr. Pitchford, the person that answered the phone said "er, uh,... can you hang on?". I was then transfered to someone else who asked "who do you want to talk to?" I was again asked to hold on. After a couple of minutes on hold I hung up. It's obvious that John Pitchford is a made up person just like the mythical saleswoman "Ashly Bell" who emailed me 6 times yesterday about the vehicle I was interested in, yet when I called I was told"er, uh...it's her day off". Even more funny, when I arrived at the dealership I was told "she works at a different location". Funny how the "Customer Relations Manager" isn't even listed as an employee on this site. The lies and sleazy used car tricks just never end with you guys. Thankfully, I know it's not the entire industry so this weekend I will go to a REPUTABLE dealership and purchase a vehicle. Nice try though. More
We are very happy to visit today. Akash and Pete both were very helpful, curtious and answer all of our questions. They both are good assets of the company. Akash and Pete both were very helpful, curtious and answer all of our questions. They both are good assets of the company. More
I can't believe in this day and age that a large, well known dealership would still play the old dishonest games that used car dealers pulled for years back in the day. After contacting Arlington Toyota known dealership would still play the old dishonest games that used car dealers pulled for years back in the day. After contacting Arlington Toyota this morning about a vehicle they had advertised. I was assured in several emails that it was indeed on their lot and available. I told them that I would leave work early . I of course did not expect them to "hold " the vehicle but PLEASE contact if it is sold before I got there. They assured me that they would. At 4:30pm I contacted the dealership and was told it was still there and ready to be test driven. I showed up 30 minutes later and was told "it was JUST sold". I asked how was it possible that in 30 minutes someone came in, test drove, did the paperwork, and left in the vehicle? "Oh he paid cash" I was told. Really? Is there ANYBODY in the world stupid enough to believe that? And why in the world would I EVEN CONSIDER buying a different vehicle from a dealer that would play such sleazy games. Run, don't walk as far away from this place as possible. More
They have many ways to engage with them so I filled out a form to ask for an out the door price for a specific vehicle. No trade in, no financing. They sent me a follow up text and email that basically say form to ask for an out the door price for a specific vehicle. No trade in, no financing. They sent me a follow up text and email that basically says you have to come in to get a price. The reason is they have a large amount of add ons they say are already on the vehicle - high margin limited value items. Toyota is a good car, the dealer is harming the brand. I'm going to buy a Mazda instead. They actually gave me a price without add ons. Go somewhere else. More
Tried to buy a Rav4 but they wanted to mark it up about 7k for nonsense like nitrogen in the tires, covid-19 disinfection, vin etching, etc. After about an hour of back and forth they took off 2k and would 7k for nonsense like nitrogen in the tires, covid-19 disinfection, vin etching, etc. After about an hour of back and forth they took off 2k and would not budge. I decided to leave. They also appraised my car for trade in and now my brake fluid is leaking... Awfully suspicious timing. DO NOT visit this place unless you want to be lied to and pay more than you should. More
Should have know this dealer ship was no good. First: I had to put down a non-refundable deposit down on a 2023 Toyota RAV-4 Prime XSE, PP. Second: Bill a Sales sent to me via email stated Vin Etc First: I had to put down a non-refundable deposit down on a 2023 Toyota RAV-4 Prime XSE, PP. Second: Bill a Sales sent to me via email stated Vin Etch for $397.11 (optional) and Xzillion Protection $1099.00 (optional). When I spoke with sales they waived the Vin Etch, which I did for $24.00. But would not wave the Xzillon Protection. The had me pick the car up on a Friday night one hour before closing. I stated again I did not want Xzillon Protection. Sales said it was part of a package deal. I asked why then was it optional on the bill of sales. Sales said they will have no problem selling this car to someone else if I did not want it. Third: I brought up the HV cable problem. Sales called 5 more sales people to come out to "talk" with me and said they knew nothing about it. I had them google #cablegait. They all were speechless. Fourth: When I had the car home it did not come with the cargo mat. Instead I was given a garage net. I called back Arlington and they said if it didn't come with the car that is the way it is. This is the service you get for paying $14000.00 over MSRP. More
