I recently had my Tacoma serviced and had a pleasant experience dealing with Brad. However, when I brought up a concern of some minor damage that my vehicle sustained while having the tires replaced, my experience dealing with Brad. However, when I brought up a concern of some minor damage that my vehicle sustained while having the tires replaced, my concerns were dismissed. I understand that it is difficult to find good help these days. Customer satisfaction does not seem to be a priority anymore. Although I have had mostly good experiences in the many years of dealing with this location, I find it difficult to believe that I will be returning for future service or purchases. More
I want to reiterate the criticism in some of the other reviews that I had, unwisely, chosen to ignore. This morning, Grieco listed two used hybrid highlanders in inventory. I emailed them to set an app reviews that I had, unwisely, chosen to ignore. This morning, Grieco listed two used hybrid highlanders in inventory. I emailed them to set an appointment at about 1 in the afternoon and received a chipper confirmatory email telling me that the one I liked was available and I should come on in. So I set an appointment for 7 PM. When I arrived, they had no idea who I was and told me I was probably speaking to their call center in Florida. First big warning sign for me - OK you want to move your customer relations out of state, fine. But in this day and age you can't have your Florida minimum wage employees get the details to the RI dealership employees the same day?! Optimistic, I proceeded to joke with the salesperson (who was perfectly nice) and pull up the car I was interested in on my phone. She said she would go get the key. She came back in 5 minutes to tell me "That car sold last night. Our system doesn't update until the next day, so they wouldn't have known in Florida." Strike 2. Again, what computer system in this day and age doesn't update inventory instantly? Something smells funny. Then the salesperson proceeds to say "Unfortunately we don't have any other used hybrids on the lot. Is there something else I can interest you in?" STRIKE 3! There were TWO hybrids listed on that lot as of this morning. Are you telling me that both of them sold last night?! Now this smells to me more like a 'bait and switch.' List a desired vehicle in inventory to get me on the lot, then tell me it is gone and try to sell me something else. That's just being a gross human being and a time-waster. My business has gone elsewhere. It could be that they did sell both cars today. I don't know. If that is the case, then they are just grossly incompetent on the technology side and I would encourage people not to go there because do you really want someone using computers from the 1990s? The alternative is worse - that they are fraudulently listing inventory they don't have to lure in customers. Given the number of reviews that report arriving onsite to find that the car they wanted was recently sold, I have this sinking feeling in my stomach that this may be the case. I try to think the best of people. There is a rule called Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity." I'm going to just say that they should fire their xxxx Florida call center and hire real Rhode Islanders if they want to be a Rhode Island car dealer. But you've been warned. YMMV. p.s. As of my writing this review, the car I was interested in is still listed as available on their website even after the sale person told me the 'computers had been updated.' Hmmmm. More

Do not trust what they tell you on the phone! !! I made an appointment over the phone to test drive a vehicle today. It's the hard-to-find Corolla Cross, so I was excited they had some available. !! I made an appointment over the phone to test drive a vehicle today. It's the hard-to-find Corolla Cross, so I was excited they had some available. We drove 30 minutes from Massachusetts to the dealership, only to be told they don't actually have any available to test drive, but some are coming in a couple weeks. When I asked why I was allowed to make an appointment for a car that didn't exist, the sales rep informed me that they use a "third party" to schedule appointments and their job is to get customers through the door. The manager said this third party cannot see specific details on which cars are there and which ones are in transit, which is a problem because I'm sure this isn't the first time that's happened. They apologized for the inconvenience, but what a scummy business practice. I wasted an hour of my time for nothing. Looks like I'm not the only one who has experienced this problem looking at their reviews. More
I had my first visit to service and it was beyond my expectations. They were professional, punctual and did an outstanding job installing my mud flaps. They also matched a lower price I found on line. G expectations. They were professional, punctual and did an outstanding job installing my mud flaps. They also matched a lower price I found on line. Given todays world of bad attitudes and half baked service, this was a surprisingly pleasant experience. I will absolutely use them again for service. JR More
Angel Perea was a pleasure to deal with. He actually knew all about the different lines of cars and helped me find the one that fit my budget. He helped me prioritize what was important and He actually knew all about the different lines of cars and helped me find the one that fit my budget. He helped me prioritize what was important and what I could do without with regard to options and packages. He encouraged me to drive different models to get a feel for how they handled. He helped negotiate the trade in value of my car. I was disappointed that the price point was above the MSRP but I shopped two other dealerships and both were above the MSRP. A strange new world. The delivery was smooth, financing found a better rate for me than Toyota was offering and they dealt with the DMV. I added mud flaps and Jake in service gave me a nice discount since I purchased the car from Grieco. I am very pleased and would purchase again from Grieco. More
I had previously leased a Camry through Bruce at Greico toyota,and had a totally stressless pleasant experience . I needed a pick up truck for my business and went back to see Bruce. Even though my lease w toyota,and had a totally stressless pleasant experience . I needed a pick up truck for my business and went back to see Bruce. Even though my lease wasn’t due to expire yet,he worked his magic to get me into a 2022 Tacoma. Gorgeous vehicle. It was even easier than the 1st experience I had with him. Within a few hours I was driving off the lot with my new Tacoma,and was extremely happy,as I really needed to get into a truck,as opposed to a car,ASAP if you want an easy as pie experience,Bruce C is your man.
