my family was very loyal to the Toyota brand. Over the years we've bought/ financed many cars from the Maryland silver spring location but our last years purchased has haunted us everyday after signing on years we've bought/ financed many cars from the Maryland silver spring location but our last years purchased has haunted us everyday after signing on the dotted lines. Darcars & Radhi the sales manager sold us a stolen car. The temporary tags are now expired, the police has contacted us, and the department of motor vehicle has no records of the vehicle in their database. The SUV was purchased and financed through Toyota financial. We've tried many ways to resolve the problem but Darcars and the general manager has turnt a blind eye in hopes of sweeping the tarnished contract under the rug. Now we pay $707 a month for a suv that we can't drive. Don't ever buy from Darcars! More
Re: 5000 miles first serviceI left the dealership after Re: 5000 miles first service I left the dealership after my car was serviced the first time and that would be my last time. The fellow who check Re: 5000 miles first service I left the dealership after my car was serviced the first time and that would be my last time. The fellow who checked in my car in the service bay reminded me of a traffic cop who has just pulled me over -- his unfriendly manner at 7 in the morning made it worse for any customer who has gotten up early to have the early-bird service. Then came the guy who wrote up the ticket inside. He seemed hating his job. When my car was ready he slid me my key fob and said, "Your car's been serviced." I was expecting him telling me where my car was; he simply said, "Out front." I went out and eventually found it, first looking for a RAV4 of white color then clicking my key fob to see if any of them blinked. Good walking exercise. Thanks to our marvellous, overly friendly service fellows at DAR Toyota on Cherry Hill Road. More
They’ve got some nice guys working there, but I can not recommend taking your business to DARCARS Toyota in Silver Spring. I had a vehicle reserved and when it came in it was sold to another customer. B recommend taking your business to DARCARS Toyota in Silver Spring. I had a vehicle reserved and when it came in it was sold to another customer. But they are willing to offer the same deal on a different vehicle. That’s awfully generous of them… Because I am in a situation where I need a vehicle, I was willing to pay a premium. They have a Market Adjustment added to MSRP, and an additional 2% on top of that. I was able to negotiate on some of that, which leads me to believe that the other customer paid more than I was willing to. They try to sell overpriced packages and warranties that you can get much cheaper from other dealerships if you do a little research. Just an overall poor experience dealing with this dealership and would never do business with them if they didn’t have the exact vehicle I was looking for. More
Beware of the people in the Finance Department of this company. They are not honest. So never trust them. They are snakes! Their only focus is on cheating and grabbing the customer's money. Very disappoin company. They are not honest. So never trust them. They are snakes! Their only focus is on cheating and grabbing the customer's money. Very disappointing! More
Worst car purchasing experience and no one at dealer will respond to me now. I was purchasing a prius plug in hybrid. Had paid deposit to hold it before my test drive. When I arrived at the designated time respond to me now. I was purchasing a prius plug in hybrid. Had paid deposit to hold it before my test drive. When I arrived at the designated time, the prime battery (the selling point of the plug-in hybrid) was not charged and the salesperson (Antony Rozario) could not show me how it worked. He promised me it would be charged when I picked the car up the following week. It was not. I made appt for a 3pm pickup. I live 2.5 hours away. He called me at 2pm to confirm my arrival time, and then went to lunch after he called. I arrived at 3pm, he did not get back until 3:15pm. After 10 minutes of signing forms, he told me the accounts person would come get me and that he was going to get my car washed and bring it up. I'm not sure why it wasn't sitting and waiting for me. Was finished with finance people at 3:45pm but Mr. Rozario did not get back until 4:20pm. I asked to speak to a manager and Mr. Selorm Tsegah presented himself and offered an apology and a free car wash and tank of gas next time I am up. When I got in car to drive away, I found that the prime battery still was not charged and Mr. Rozario had vanished. Mr. Tsegah promised me a et of carpeted floor mats and a cargo mat as compensation. I was not willing to wait another 30+ minutes and he said he would have Mr. Rozario fed ex the mats to me. It has been two weeks. I emailed and asked Mr. Rozario and cc'ed Mr. Tsegah to ask for an apology and to know when the mats would be sent. No response in a week. I cc'ed Ethan Rossignol, the general manager and have still, another week later, received no response. No response. No apology. No floor mats or cargo mats. Worst service from a dealer ever. They may have the highest volume of sales in Maryland, but with service like this, I don't think it is repeat business. Go somewhere else where the sales people are courteous and don't ignore you the second you sign the paperwork. More
This has been the WORST car buying experience I've ever had. I already had the car picked out online and contacted sales 100% ready to buy. It took several days for a sales rep to even respond to me after had. I already had the car picked out online and contacted sales 100% ready to buy. It took several days for a sales rep to even respond to me after I reache out several times. Then, I only got literally one-sentence email responses a day. Moving the process along felt like I was having to beg them to let me buy the car. This process has now dragged out into SIXTEEN DAYS for and they still havent finalized the purchase **AFTER already debitting my account for the downpayment!** Every time I call in, Larry N. in finance is "out of the office", they take DAYS to reply to my emails, if they even respond. I call in asking to speak to ANYONE else and I get stuck on hold for 20+ minutes until I give up. I have emailed the head of used car sales, I spoke with the head of new car sales, I emailed the head of finance, and NO one has helped me or gotten back to me. As of today? I have given then the signed papers, a $2000 downpayment, and here I am 16 days later STILL WITH NO CAR. I'm about to initiate a chargeback to get my downpayment back and buy elsewhere. I literally have a delivery company ready to pick up the car and bring it to me and I cant give them a pickup date because NO ONE THERE IS RESPONDING TO ME!!! More
Worst car buying experience. Simple paperwork took forever because of the most inefficient rep that we had to deal with. I regret that we brought business to this place. Avoid this place.

Do not shop here unless they are the only place state-wide that has your vehicle in stock. Even then I would still be weary. Your customer experience here is PURELY secondary, if even considered, a state-wide that has your vehicle in stock. Even then I would still be weary. Your customer experience here is PURELY secondary, if even considered, at all. I set up a test drive with Tyshea, I made the Appointment for the next day at 3 pm. i arrived and for some reason she wasn't in and there was no record of my appointment for the other employees to look up. An employee named Mansoor attempted to help me, while he did eventually get me in the test drive, he seemed more bothered that I interrupted his fraternizing that was happening between him and another employee just past the main glass doors. As I attempted to show him the stock number for the vehicle so he could look it up, he grabbed my phone and started scrolling through to see more information. not only does this violate my privacy... who grabs someone else phone in the middle of a pandemic like its OK??? Immune compromised people like myself, please be weary!!! If the issues ended there, everything would still be relatively ok. despite their lack of social distancing and massive cross contamination issues, i was still willing to go through with my purchase. Unfortunately there is no way for you to get any information without being lied to and without having to follow up with them at EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY. If they say they will call you back at 2, expect them to NOT CALL until well past 5 or 6, assuming they call at all. There was 2 days of this kind of behavior. After repeated 1 hour holds on the phone, their excuses run along the lines of -i was just looking for your number to call you - or - a customer walked in... as if there aren't 20+ associates available, and as if you aren't an important customer because - per their suggestion, you try to do the paperwork over the phone. So not only do you need to follow up on them every step of the way, but you're also treated in a condescending manner by the General sales manager(Mr. Selorm Tsegah) due to garnishing a lower income than your previous years due to covid. That lowered income - was still clearly enough to cover the cost of very low monthly payment i was looking at. IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH - and you really want to experience the full disfuntionality of Darcars Toyota in silver spring... JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU GET TO FINANCING. Not only will they make repeated hard inquiries on your credit report nonchalantly and without Informing you of whats happening, they will also tell you different things to suit their agendas at the moment.(4 hard inquires total) From telling me the bank requested a 3k$ deposit - to them telling me they haven't even contacted the banks yet ( all verifiable by email correspondence ) You will absolutely have multiple HARD INQUIRIES placed on your credit report. for a Simple car loan where i could have came in with a deposit, they made it an absolute nightmare without even verifying ANYTHING with the banks - and they were quoting ridiculous 22-24% APR loans. they kept referencing some random arbitrary monthly payment amount that they were trying to keep me under - but they couldn't tell me what that amount was, and they couldn't tell me the variances based on loan term length/APR etc. It is simply so unorganized that its clear the people I was involved with have absolutely no interest in doing business, or selling any car thats not high price & new so they can make the highest commission , bank on the financing to bring in money, and do the least amount of work possible. Used vehicles here are simply not worth their time, so it seems. these people just want to clock in and out - pushing a few papers and knowing ANY details about the cars on their lot is completely not part of what they consider to be their jobs. Buying from here feels like they're doing YOU a favor, and you'll have to chase them just to get anything done. PLEASE, if you have any self respect for your mental wellbeing and having a pleasant experience you'll consider any and all other options, including just walking everywhere before coming to Darcars Toyota.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I bought a 2019 Toyota Rav4 (13k Miles) at this place less than a week ago. I have a connection problem with the Toyota app and a recall in the car. So, Toyota headquarters cont (13k Miles) at this place less than a week ago. I have a connection problem with the Toyota app and a recall in the car. So, Toyota headquarters contact one of the sales managers at this place named Radhi Uchechi to help me to fix these problems. This person treated me terribly with a lack of professionalism and disrespect in front of everybody at the showroom because I bought a used car instead of a new one. So, I did not deserve to be treated well as a good client. He said to me: "What can you expected when you buy a used car, you should buy a new one next time." So, should DARCARS sell used cars if they are not offering good support? More
