Carlson Toyota

Buyer Beware! I bought a used mini vans from Carlson Toyota . The vehicle was being sold “as is”. I looked up the car facts, and nothing of concern came up. I went into the dealership to test drive. I Toyota . The vehicle was being sold “as is”. I looked up the car facts, and nothing of concern came up. I went into the dealership to test drive. I checked the vehicle out and on the surface everything seemed fine. I go back into the dealership to ask the sales team what kind of condition I would be buying the vehicle in and I was reassured that the vehicle passed Toyota inspection and had zero major issues. I was in a rush, so I took their word for it as I trusted Toyota inspection. I buy the vehicle and next morning I realized the engine is leaking. I go back to their offices to see what they can do for me. They wasted half an hour and at the end let me know that it was my problem. Just a day ago, they proclaimed the vehicle to have no issue. I lost all faith in this dealership. They lied to me just sell me a vehicle that had engine oil leak. Don’t waste your time at Carlson Toyota. More

This has got to be the worst Toyota dealership anywhere. The management at this dealership should be embarrassed and Toyota should too. Go anywhere else but here. The management at this dealership should be embarrassed and Toyota should too. Go anywhere else but here. More

Steer Clear I should have been warned from the beginning by the email sent to me by the used car manager TJ.

He has zero class and didn't even have the guts to approach me while I waited almost 2 hours to get into the business office, yes I said 2 hours. As far as the service department goes, don't expect them to go above and beyond at this dealership....they don't even provide free loaners although I was told that at the time of purchase. If you buy an extended warranty, be prepared to fight tooth and nail to get something covered...including the rental they want to charge you $35 for. All in all, I've learned my lesson....get everything in writing and take notice of the tone of your conversation from the get go. I should've never walked back in after I walked out the first time.

Customer Service Down to a Science :) Daniel listened to our needs and matched them perfectly with a 2013 RAV4. This car exceeded our expectations because the previous owner has applied a Daniel listened to our needs and matched them perfectly with a 2013 RAV4. This car exceeded our expectations because the previous owner has applied a chip protection coating to the paint, chip protection strips on the door edges and door "ding" protection strips. Later, after the test drive, we discovered the previous owner had also installed remote start! During the test drive we were very impressed at how well the all-wheel-drive held the road. This winter has had many days of slippery roads, so we are looking forward to much safer driving in the RAV4. My wife takes care of senior citizens in their homes, so she uses her car every day. She had been driving a 2001 Camry for many years. But it stopped working unexpectedly the previous day. We needed to. transfer money.to our checking account. Gray was very understanding and agreed to hold our check for three days. This meant my wife was able to drive the RAV4 home less than 24 hours after her Camry had been stopped working! She was able to keep her appointment with her client the next day. We also wanted an extended warranty. Gray told us that since the vehicle had 123,000 miles on it, it was eligible for a three year, 30,000 mile extension. When driving the car on the freeway to her client, my wife noticed a vibration when accelerating between 30 and 40 mph. I called the service department and arranged for an appointment on Monday at 3:00 P.M.. We brought the RAV4 in at the scheduled time and the service rep took it for a test drive right away. He brought it back and told us that the torque converter needed to be replaced. Then he provided us a 2018 RAV4 as a loaner car so my wife could keep her appointments. Wednesday the Midwest had a major snow storm that delayed the shipment of the replacement part from Chicago. But this did not affect us because we had the loaner car. In backing into our garage for the first time, the RAV4 got a little scratch. I pointed it out and the paint tech removed it completely. We picked up our RAV4 on Friday. I was able to chat with Ryan and learned about the torque converter and the AWD system. He has a thorough knowledge of the vehicle systems. The vibration is completely gone and we are enjoying getting to know our new RAV4. One thing I noticed when I put it into our garage is the the RAV4 is 18" shorter than the Camry. That means we can walk around the car even when the garage door is closed. More

Comfortable experience Throwing a lot of money into a car can be nerve-wracking. Theo was great and our experience was excellent from start to finish. We made a couple trips Throwing a lot of money into a car can be nerve-wracking. Theo was great and our experience was excellent from start to finish. We made a couple trips to come to our final decision. I could see another trip in the future to find our next car as well. Nice job. More
