Adam ruins everything was wrong! These guys are the best! Stopped in to get a look at a used car for my daughter to use at college. Expecting to be treated in a dismissive manner and ignored as we were over a Stopped in to get a look at a used car for my daughter to use at college. Expecting to be treated in a dismissive manner and ignored as we were over at the Subaru place across the street, we were taken aback by the warm greetings, and genuine interest in our visit. Often women aren't treated equally at dealerships as we experienced at the Subaru place across the way, so we armored for a battle to make are purpose known. Luckson's welcoming smile and salutations upon our entrance loosened our grip and Al's hospitality finished us off by breaking down our fierce intentions. He was attentive to our mission. We got a great deal on an already reasonably price used Car and we felt treated better than equals. Adam Ruins Everything segment on car sales men missed the mark with Luckson and Al. Thank you gentlemen for a great buying experience and great role models for the industry. Yours truly, mom of a college student. BTW we bought a Subaru... More

Wen i demanded my $$ , & asked to talk to the GM, they called the police on me & the police asked me to leave or be arrested, the cop said it was bs they were holding my $50 hostage & only my gf can come pick up $$ but she works during times they claim there accounting office open. Watch out for this dealership Shady sales people that only tell u what they want & promise the world but just get pooped on. If I had to rate them it would be a capital Z for Zero, the managers shouldnt even be employed at a mcdonalds job let alone selling cars. New & Used Buyers BewAre!!! More
Went to Girard to see a used Scion. Met, perhaps, the most friendly personable car salesman ever... Eric. The reason I didn't purchase the car was a typographical error. It listed as "automatic" trans most friendly personable car salesman ever... Eric. The reason I didn't purchase the car was a typographical error. It listed as "automatic" transmission, but was in fact "manual". Had it been manual, as stated, I would have purchased it that day (yesterday), gladly, from Eric. When the day comes that I can afford a new/newer car I will return there and ask for him personally. Great job Eric!!!!! Thank you for a happy experience :) More
Last week I decided to drive onto the lot of Girard Toyota in New London,CT. That was something I had vowed NOT to do after a particularly bad experience over 20 years ago. However, it was Sunday, and Toyota in New London,CT. That was something I had vowed NOT to do after a particularly bad experience over 20 years ago. However, it was Sunday, and I thought they would be closed and all I wanted to do was to physically SEE the car my research had led me to believe was the car I wanted, a Toyota Camry Hybrid. Much to my surprise, they WERE open. I anticipated being "descended" on the minute my car touched their lot but I wasn't ...I found the model I wanted to see, and checked it out.. again, no one bothered me...hmmm.. deciding I could always test drive the car there and buy it elsewhere, I ventured into the showroom where I was greeted by a smiling salesperson, Luckson Francois. He answered all my questions and took me for a test drive. The car was exactly what I wanted and we began negotiating the price. I fully expected the big "sales pressure" pitch when the Sales Manager, Christian was brought into the negotiations. I was just waiting for the " this deal is only good for today" pitch. But it never came. Instead, Christian told me what he could offer me for my car and what he could sell the new car for, and what financing he could offer. The deal seemed too good to be true.. But wasn't that what they were supposed to make it sound like?? Without even pressuring me for a deposit, I left the dealership with the information in hand. I brought the offer to a friend of mine who is a dealer for a different brand, and had him review the offer. Even he couldn't find any flaws in their offer. I returned the following day and after a bit more of friendly haggling, sealed the deal. Two days later, I had my new car for a great price. Luckson and Christian had arranged the financing as promised. On the day of the closing, I was prepared for all the "dealer add ons" that would inflate the price--but they never came. Luckson and Cristian even arranged to have some after market equipment I had installed on my old car, removed and Luckson personally delivered it to my home two days later. That is what I call personal service!!! We left the dealership converts. From start to finish, the whole process went smoothly and with absolutely no pressure. They simply delivered what I wanted and only what I wanted for the price they promised and with no pressure at any time. What a refreshing change!!!! We even received two follow up phone calls from others at the dealership to insure we were satisfied-we were. More
This was my first maintenance appointment since my 2 year free service contract ended. I came in for an oil change and ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours for this scheduled appointment. During the 2 year free se free service contract ended. I came in for an oil change and ended up waiting 1 1/2 hours for this scheduled appointment. During the 2 year free service contract, my RAV-4 needed nothing but oil changes and 1 cabin filter change. At this uncovered appointment, I was told I needed $1,300 worth of work (tires were included in this cost). I was very disappointed that none of these things were covered under the 2 year contract and suddenly came up when the contract ended (though I understand that the tires are a separate issue). Also, waiting this long for a scheduled oil change is ridiculous! I could go to a 10 minute oil change place and they would at least vacuum my car! I will not be using Girard for service on my RAV-4 and expected more from them. More

No one likes getting expensive work done, or being told they need more of it, but girard staff are friendly and willing to explain anything, even took me back to my car to show me first hand and speak with they need more of it, but girard staff are friendly and willing to explain anything, even took me back to my car to show me first hand and speak with the mechanic which I really appreciated. I understand it helps sales to have separate sales staff, but they also improve their own credibility when they have the mechanics themselves demonstrate or just point out the issue. More
