I had to get would never use anyone else. On August 24th my car was totaled after being hit by a driver who ran a red light. The car was paid for. I had to get another vehicle and I knew Larry would give me the best deal. My husband and I met with Larry on the 26th and Larry found me a 2011 Camry at the best price. His manager Bill was awesome and we loved working with Harley. Larry gives such quality customer service and I tell everyone about him. Now my husband, our daughter, our son and myself drive Toyota Camrys purchased from Larry Kalman. Toyota Mall of Georgia is lucky to have him!!!!! Pamara Knighten More

It was not my intention to get a new vehicle nearly three weeks ago.... not at all. When I got a call from the sales department to explore my options and check out the value of my trade-in, my first thoughts weeks ago.... not at all. When I got a call from the sales department to explore my options and check out the value of my trade-in, my first thoughts were “Yea right, this is not going to happen.” I had looked at the vehicle I’d found most appealing six months ago, the Prius with its fuel economy was a perfect fit for my life style and fixed income. In fact after factoring in deferred maintenance, fuel economy, and optimal trade-in value, I’d actually calculated my monthly savings down to the decimal point, about making that switch. Hopefully anticipating the monthly savings I went elsewhere to look at the vehicle, only to discover that the high demand on hybrids during a gas price spike yields challenges and disappointments I hadn’t anticipated on. Despite low mileage, documented maintenance records, and the excellent condition of my vehicle, the quote on pricing and value of my trade-in fell way short of my expectations. As far as I was concerned the likelihood of me getting a little gold Prius were so unreasonable, they surpassed dream qualities and crossed over into a fantasy zone. Six months later, when I got a call from Ben Dale at the Mall of Georgia Toyota, my beliefs did not change. “This is not going to happen. I can’t afford it. They’re not going to give me anything on my trade-in. This is going to be a complete and total waste of my time.” Is what I was thinking when I agreed to check it out, without even knowing where they were located. Had I known, I probably wouldn’t have gone there. Good thing I wasn’t running things. As fate would have it, they only had one gold Prius on the lot. And considering it was also the most fully equipped, heavily optioned Prius on the lot, I was actually ready to turn around and walk out. Fantasy doesn’t quite describe it...thoughts of getting that vehicle were bordering on delusional. I didn’t go there to get a car, my expectations were to see where my trade-in value was, drool over what I wanted and walk away disappointed. That was the plan. The best part of which had to be the drooling part. Since I wasn’t prepared to make a purchase, the extensive research I’d done six months prior weren’t updated for this transaction. As it turns out, I didn’t have to. I called my insurance company, calculated the cost difference on what I could afford and gave them that amount. I didn’t try to low ball my quote, this was as much as I could afford uncomfortably and still be reasonable, and within the constraints of my budget. When all was said and done, they did exceed my limits by 46 cents, at which point I said, “Y’all trying to test my resolve up in here. Now I have to switch from liquid creamer to dry. Your only saving grace in this transaction is that I’ve cut down on my coffee consumption.” Which was true believe it or not. Fifty cents might have yielded new negotiations. I got the vehicle. Not only that, this vehicle by far exceeded my wants, needs and expectations at a price that I could afford, in the color combination I wanted. I’m still in shock. So much so, the transaction its self has overshadowed the new car. I’ve only been back to the dealership twice since the purchase, and on both occasions the service, and quality of work were exceptional, the issues, questions and concerns I had were addressed and answered. I went into this transaction telling my salesman ‘What God has for me, is just for me.” And the last thing said to him as I shook his hand before driving off the lot, after he thanked me was, “You can sell a car every day of your life, but its not every day that you get to be a facilitator of a blessing. So NO...thank you.” The people were much friendlier than I was believe me. And though I don’t know about the experience of others and what the future holds, this was by far one of the most rewarding purchases I’ve ever had the pleasure of being involved in. Not only do I hope they keep up the good work, I hope anyone reading this has an equally rewarding experience there. Sincerely, A. McCord Sgt. US Army Ret. More

This dealership will be my pick when we go shopping for a new car. I was more than impressed with the friendly, professional handling of my RAV4's body repair. The car is now like new and was finished days new car. I was more than impressed with the friendly, professional handling of my RAV4's body repair. The car is now like new and was finished days before other estimates had promised. I could not be more pleased. I came to the dealership initially because Rusty Gentry worked there. I had learned to respect and trust him when we purchased our new RAV4 at a different dealership. Now that Rusty has relocated at the Mall of GA dealership..... I decided to follow a man I had faith in. Their collision center is a place I would take my car for the first estimate from now on. Rick Eves is an excellent manager. You have a customer for life. Thanks. More

First and foremost I was not looking forward to purchasing a car due to the pressure sales I have been exposed to in the past. Well times have changed and my purchasing experience at Toyota Mall of purchasing a car due to the pressure sales I have been exposed to in the past. Well times have changed and my purchasing experience at Toyota Mall of Georgia was the best I have ever been through in my forty plus years. I called in reference to a 2009 Toyota AWD Venza and then went to the dealership...No appointment..just showned up. Was greeted by the GM who was great then was greeted by John Choe-Sales.I ended up not purchassing due to I had a business trip planned and did not have the time. John Choe stayed in contact with me following up over a 7 day period. The car was used and in detail and I was unable to SEE or drive the car on my first trip. John gave me all the background on the car and went the extra mile doing the work to answer all my questions about the car. Over the phone John worked up the trade-in value of my car (GREAT PRICE) through his GM and Finance Manager. My trade-in was paid off and I did all the research and I knew what it was worth. They gave me a great price for my car..very fair. He called and gave me all the options of financing and current interest rates and they were able to BEAT my Credit Unions rate for financing. My next visit I drove the car and John went over all the options and pricing. They discounted exactly where I needed and then I was ready to purchase. I met with Gary Bryant-Finance Manager and he was professional and excellent and had all the paper work ready and no pressure what so ever. From John Choe-Sales to Gary Bryant-Finance I could not I have asked for a better car buying experience. I have recommended Toyota Mall of GA and told several of my Friends to seek out John Choe if you are in the market for a used or new Toyota. More

Team Toyota is an exceptional experience. We had a salesman that was interested in us as people not just as a $ sign. Herby went the extra mile in following up on us and getting us into the car that w salesman that was interested in us as people not just as a $ sign.

I walked into Toyota Mall of Georgia for an oil change and walked out with a new car! While my car was being looked at, I took the time to look into their used cars. I spoke with the Used Car Director, Ru and walked out with a new car! While my car was being looked at, I took the time to look into their used cars. I spoke with the Used Car Director, Rusty Gentry. I explained my situation about wanting a more gas efficient car and one that would be safe to drive to college. He asked me questions about my price range and what I wanted in a car and got to know me very well. He asked another employee, Andree Tueme, to pull up a 2003 Tiburon GT V6 for me to check out. I walked out to see the car and immediately fell in love with it. It was exactly what I wanted! Andree took me on a test drive and showed me all of the functions of the car. When we pulled back into Toyota, I told him I wanted the car today. I filled out the paperwork and got to take home my new car! They were very respectful of my time and they were the friendliest team. Andree even helped me take pictures with my car. Overall, I had the best car-buying experience I could have asked for. Thank you Team Toyota Mall of Georgia! More

If you decide to use this dealership to purchase a Toyota make sure you have done your homework and make this your last stop. If we had decided to purchase a Toyota we would have used this dealership (I was make sure you have done your homework and make this your last stop. If we had decided to purchase a Toyota we would have used this dealership (I was really impressed with their service center) but being the first car we looked at (we were considering different manufactures) my husband got frustrated at how determined they were to sell us a car instead of understanding that we wanted to feel comfortable with our purchase and in order to feel comfortable we needed to visit a few different manufacture's dealerships. However strong their sales pitch- Robert was very friendly and as I mentioned before we would've gone back and purchased the car from them if a Toyota was the right car for us. More
