Charles Toyota

I will never deal with this Toyota Dealership again. I am 100% CERTAIN that these positive reviews are from Charles Toyota employees/associates; check out thier reviews from other car dealer review websites 100% CERTAIN that these positive reviews are from Charles Toyota employees/associates; check out thier reviews from other car dealer review websites (all negative responses!) They accepted my bid from a car bidding website and they confirmed this acceptance even after several follow-up emails and calls from both my wife and I. With every email and call they never declined the bid or suggested otherwise. When we called again to make arrangements for us to come to the dealership for final purchase, another "manager" (for that particular day) said that car bidding site "is like a porn site" and "we have never accepted bids from that site and I don't know why the sales person and the manager yesterday agreed to the bid". What is so incredible and the height of hypocrisy is that on Charles'Toyota call waiting dialogue the audio track mentions "At Charles Toyota we do what we say!"....Apparently not. They are deceptive and they waste the time of people honestly trying to use this site (which to them is not legitimate and similar to a "porn site") These guys are BAIT-AND-SWITCH PROFESSIONALS! BUYER BEWARE! More

Recently I bought a used car from Charles. I knew more about the car than the salesman did, as it was not a Toyota. I remember him repeating "It's a really nice car. It really is." Essentially, the car so about the car than the salesman did, as it was not a Toyota. I remember him repeating "It's a really nice car. It really is." Essentially, the car sold itself. On the day of pick up, i left the lot with an empty tank. Less than half a mile down the road, the light came on. After spending over 12k you'd think they could fill up the tank. Also, the fabric on the inside of the door was sticking out as if it had been vacuumed in a rush and not glued and pushed back in. The entire wash and detailing job seemed rushed. I wouldn't say Charles was a horrible dealer experience, but there is an air of salesman sleeze around the place that you won't find at other dealerships (Secor Subaru, for instance, who sadly did not have the car I wanted).

When I was called by the Internet contact person I had just had one of the worst experiences I had ever experienced at a car dealership when Charles Toyota attempted to sell me a gas vehicle for a hybrid just had one of the worst experiences I had ever experienced at a car dealership when Charles Toyota attempted to sell me a gas vehicle for a hybrid and I luckily enough had asked to look at the vehicle first. I told him I wasn't very trusting but I was assured this would be straight forward. I was greated at the door, went over the vehicle I wished to purchase, had a person evaluate my trade in, and within 20 minutes had a price in front of me. After no more than 5 minutes of negotiations I owned a Toyota Highlander Limited HYBRID with navigation, and nearly every other option. All at a price $3000 less than what the other dealership told me was the cost for the vehicle with my trade, even though they tried to sell me the wrong vehicle. For someone who just spent 40,000 plus on a vehicle it really was a great job on Marque's, your sales manager's, and your internet salesperson's part to make me feel very comfortable and trusting. I am waiting for the vehicle to come in and I suppose the deal isn't really done yet but so far this was just great. Thank you More

If i could give this dealer all zeros i would. I bought a used acar from them that was over priced by 4,000 compared to book value and also puty me in very high interest program when they said i would be g a used acar from them that was over priced by 4,000 compared to book value and also puty me in very high interest program when they said i would be getting 5% interest i really got 12.99% and they said i already signed the contect so i had to deal with it. Next i brought my car there because 2 days after i bought it the brakes went all together. when i went back to pick up my car it was raining and both windows were down. It only gets better. My transmission went three weeks later and they vowed to replace it. 3 transmissions later they finally got it right. In the meantime they gave me a rental car for all my troubles. After they couldn't get my transmission right they made me cover the rental car they "gave me for my troubles". What a crock of s***. Overall i wouldn't send my worst enemy to this dealer ship and i would advise...STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More

I just bought a new 2006 Toyota Corolla. Friends of our recommended this dealership to us, as they had bought 3 cars from them previously. Even though we haven't used the service department, our friends to recommended this dealership to us, as they had bought 3 cars from them previously. Even though we haven't used the service department, our friends told us they do quality repairs and have never had a problem with service. I despise high pressure salesmen. Mike Smead, our salesman, greeted us professionally, answered all our questions and most importantly, put no pressure on us to buy a car. He was very helpful and really worked with us to get us a car we could afford. Tom, in finance, was also very helpful in getting us a loan at a good interest rate. He did not pressure us into buying a warranty, but was helpful in describing the details and left the decision to us. I would highly recommend these two men, and really don't understand why all the negative reviews previously posted. More

A recent car purchase at Charles Toyota led us to rate this dealer as unsatisfactory in all areas. Upon initial purchase of a vehicle, we were told we would be getting car "a". When the vehicle was pres this dealer as unsatisfactory in all areas. Upon initial purchase of a vehicle, we were told we would be getting car "a". When the vehicle was presented to us, it was not the vehicle we had paid for. It did not have many of the ammenties car "a" had. We immediately confronted the sales manager and general manage. We were told they would do all they could to make the vehicle given to us as close to the vehicle as we thought we had purchased. The vehicle was so severly scratched, they promised they would remove them all. When they couldnt' do it, we were told we were being picky and that even "God couldn't provide us with what we wanted." Just two weeks earlier we had purchased a vehicle at Colchester Toyota and it was in mint condition. The service department at Charles Toyota is the only department worth noting. More
