The long version is LONG and I guess there's a character limit, so here's the list version (which is still pretty long...): *salesman told me car was still under warranty, found out it wasn't after signing the papers and was pressured into purchasing one *was not given spare key, was told they would make one for free and who to talk to, that person was not communicated with and tried to charge me for the key *brought my car in regularly for service, oil changes, multi point inspections *scheduled service online days in advance and still told I had to wait hours sometimes because they were very busy *had throttle body service done at one visit and then had it recommended to me that I needed it done at the very next visit *had rotors resurfaced and brake disc service *brought car in for loud noise and was told I needed all rotors and brake pads replaced ($500+) *had it in for multi point inspection a few months prior. Was not told anything about brakes or given inspection report. Upon looking it up in the computer, he had noted that something was rubbing on the brakes causing them to wear unevenly. Never told me or gave me report. *brakes had always been at 7-8+mm in the years I had owned my Prius. Now they supposedly went from 6/7 down to ZERO in just a few months. *communicating with John Pitchfork in customer service was a nightmare. Really hard to get ahold of. Would not email me back because "he prefers to talk on the phone" even though our schedules conflict and I was having a really hard time getting ahold of him *admitted fault on the tech's part "he knew he was leaving for awhile so had been doing a sub-par job for weeks" *scheduled a follow up phone call. never called. excuse was "couldn't get everyone together in time". Did not tell me he wouldn't be calling as scheduled beforehand or to apologize afterwards. I had to contact him to find out what happened. *was only offered $100 credit for the incident. Excuse was "She would have had to have her brakes done eventually anyway..." *service manager refused to talk to me or explain further *was told it's hard to "justify" doing anything for a customer when they won't be returning (...due to feeling unsafe with the service done and customer service given...) so he probably wouldn't be able to help any further (no ethics, morality, or CUSTOMER SERVICE then, eh?) *filed a report with corporate. Was told it would be sent to John at Arlington Toyota and they would have 1 business day to respond. *no response a week and a half later. *followed up with corporate. they noted it but said they could not force Arlington Toyota to follow up, even though that was their policy. Suggested I could try to talk to a general manger. *called general manager and was put to voicemail two times. Left a message both times. no response a week and a half after the first call. No response after the second call now either.... More

Dont be fooled by the nice clothes. It is about money. Be careful they are SERPENTS!!! I wanted a Toyota camry that they posted online and was nothing like that in person. They just Lie and steal people mone careful they are SERPENTS!!! I wanted a Toyota camry that they posted online and was nothing like that in person. They just Lie and steal people money. They say they want to help but we know what that means. They want to help their own pockets. More

Rough start, then a 180! My partner and I's first visit here was very stressful and made us never want to come here again. We were looking for a used Prius for myself and the My partner and I's first visit here was very stressful and made us never want to come here again. We were looking for a used Prius for myself and the negotiation process was terrible and we felt the sales associate and manager were making it unreasonably difficult. We were there for 3-4 hours only to come away more than defeated. (Although, we were very impressed by how much work had been put into this car to make it ready to leave the lot and the thorough inspection that was done. No other dealership we went to had this level of detail even for a certified pre-owned car.) After getting terrible deals on my trade-in from other dealerships, we decided to come back and try to get a better deal on the Prius. They still wouldn't budge on the price, BUT we had another sales associate this time, Olga. She loves to tell you that she is a product specialist and she blew our minds with how true that was. She knew everything about that Prius and then when we switched to looking at a new Corolla, she knew everything about that too. Spilling out features at lightning speed and with great enthusiasm. That negotiation process wasn't easy either due to my credit and issues with other potential creditors. (This was also due, in part, to the fact that we kept getting told by text "It will be just 15 minutes"..."I'll have an answer by noon"..."We practically have it"... and we just kept waiting and waiting by the phone without answers. From the beginning, they were talking to us about how they don’t make promises they can’t keep, but it was starting to happen a little bit when we came back). Toyota Credit didn't even accept me at first. But we were not going down without a fight. I wanted this car NOW! After getting the manager to talk to Toyota Credit again, they approved me at a more than reasonable rate and monthly payment for my situation. I had to increase my down payment by a lot in just a few days, but the universe found a way and I got what I needed from an unexpected friend the day we decided to go back to the dealership and try to close this deal. In the end, Olga (and Augie) really turned it around and made this a near-perfect experience. I finally got what I wanted (read: needed) and we could rest assured that I would be driving a dependable car for many years to come. Just two days later, I look around at every Toyota I see and am so happy to be a part of the Toyota family. This was a long time coming. More

Very happy customer I needed an affordable replacement for my Corolla that I lost. It wasn't easy to find what I was looking for, until I contacted Bob Bejda ( Zbyszek). I needed an affordable replacement for my Corolla that I lost. It wasn't easy to find what I was looking for, until I contacted Bob Bejda ( Zbyszek). He was professional, helpful, friendly and very important to me - listened to my needs and did his best to fulfill them. I found my used Corolla which was a great relief after almost two weeks of a research. I would highly recommend Bob Bejda and Arlington Dealership. More
