Very disappointing experience. We've leased two vehicles here, and had three "misunderstandings" about what we were supposed to receive and didn't. The first "misunderstanding" was when we leased a 2015 RAV4 Limited. The map card (a tiny sim card) was out of date. Both the sales rep and the tech rep said a new sim card would be out in the Fall, and if we stopped back after the Fall, they would "scrounge" up a new one for us. When we returned to ask (more than once) if they would do that for us, no one remembered saying anything to that effect and they made it clear that they were not interested in helping us. Our second "misunderstanding" was when we leased the 2016 RAV4 Limited Hybrid. The sales rep and I agreed upon a "not to exceed" monthly lease payment. It was all good until we got into the finance office and then began the "oh, by the way, this doesn't include "gap insurance," etc... Needless to say, the "not to exceed amount" got exceeded. Our third "misunderstanding" was when we paid $400.00 to have a clear mask added to the front and mirrors of our car, only to find out that they didn't "really mean" the whole painted "nose" of the car, just a strip along the hood. We are college-educated business people ourselves. We don't have trouble understanding details. And those who would invite us to become "members of the Groove Toyota family" need to know that misleading customers is not the way to build family relationships. More

Very easy process, car properly priced. The 4Runner that I had been searching for was as advertised and was priced very competitively. The sales and finance department was awesome.

The car was delivered detailed and serviced and was ready on time. The Sales person followed up after the sale. Would definitely purchase another vehicle from this dealership More

Honest, trustworthy, and Customer oriented! I had been looking for a fun car to drive on weekends and spent hours with several dealers in the Denver area. Although the level of honesty amoung ca I had been looking for a fun car to drive on weekends and spent hours with several dealers in the Denver area. Although the level of honesty amoung car dealers has gotten better over the years, the old adage about the "used car salesman" rang true until...... In my research, I decided to test drive a Toyota/Scion FRS sports car. My first attempt was with Stevenson Toyota Lakewood since I bought my Lexus right across the street from their Lexus dealership, I was told there "are no FRS's in stock and I should call other dealers to find one in inventory"? What ever happened to "let me find you one"? Then I learned of Groove Toyota and Chad Leach and Dan Taurig and both were like a "fresh breath of air"..In less than an hour, I was able to make a deal and am a happy camper. And being a Senior, and this being my 43 car in my lifetime, trust me when I take the time to write this, no one is paying me to say this! If you want to deal with people that are honest, trustworthy and Customer oriented, look no further than these guys at Groove Toyota. More

Customer Service at Groove is Extraordinary Two years ago I bought a Toyota at Groove. I also bought extended protection from a third party service group. Recently, I had a problem that fell Two years ago I bought a Toyota at Groove. I also bought extended protection from a third party service group. Recently, I had a problem that fell under the extended protection terms. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a copy of the extended protection agreement. A week later, I discovered that I had not met the requirements per the language of contract. I called Groove, expecting to hear, “Not our fault…blah, blah…you’re out of luck. What happened next is the reason I’m writing this. I explained my problem on the service line. Within 15 minutes a manager called me back and apologized for my trouble. He said Groove’s first concern was customer satisfaction. No, Groove couldn’t change the 3rd party contract terms or force them to provide the service. However, Groove would cover me entirely because that’s how they do business! They arranged for the needed repairs by another service company. Groove provided the needed parts at no charge to me and shipped them to the service company in advance. When the service company arrived to make the repairs, they assured me that Groove had taken care of every detail and expense! I have owned more than 70 personal and business vehicles in my career. No dealer has ever provided the level customer care I experienced at Groove – not even close! Groove was competitive on price when I bought my Toyota, but it was their extraordinary customer care that has made me a customer for life. If you’re looking for a vehicle, don’t buy until you talk to Groove. More

Review for Groove Toyota My husband and I were down to two vehicles. Jason Katz and Toyota was the sales team member at Toyota. He was very friendly and down to earth. He had My husband and I were down to two vehicles. Jason Katz and Toyota was the sales team member at Toyota. He was very friendly and down to earth. He had answered some questions over the phone and when I arrived at the dealership, he quickly stopped his other work, and came right out. He was very informative and was never pressuring. He knew that this was a large purchase and kept stressing that we needed to do what was best for us. He could see that we were very split and stressing out about it, but only gave us facts about the car instead of making me feel bad if I didn't buy his vehicle. Brenden Carlson made it extra hard by giving us a very fair/better than normal offer. We ended up going with a different vehicle, which was a better fit for our family right now. I am very grateful that I didn't buy out of pressure, as I would be very very upset right now. In 5 years I think we will be in the place where the 4 Runner will be a better fit. Because of Jason, we will be back to this dealership and they will have our business. I will also recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you Jason Katz! More

Oil change with rip off Went for an oil change. They told me my 3rd brakelight was out. It would cost $16 for them to replace it. I asked them to step on the brake pedal s Went for an oil change. They told me my 3rd brakelight was out. It would cost $16 for them to replace it. I asked them to step on the brake pedal so that I could verify it was out. It wasn't out. I told him I would step on the brake pedal so he could check and he didn't even wait around to look. Scam, scam, scam! Then, when I tried to,call the number for the service manager that they have listed, it wasn't even his extension. More

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BAD CAR To whom it may concern, On August 21, 2015 my family and I went to Groove Toyota in Englewood, CO to purchase a new car for us to drive for Uber. T To whom it may concern, On August 21, 2015 my family and I went to Groove Toyota in Englewood, CO to purchase a new car for us to drive for Uber. This is something that we will never do again and will never recommend to anyone because of the sheer number of problems that we have had in less than 4 months. In the time that we have owned our 2013 Ford Fusion we have been in constant contact with our salesman, Paul Lips (the salesman) and Dennis Santos (used car service manager), and more recently at Groove Ford a sales rep who was supposed to set up an appointment and stopped working there causing me another 2 week delay, Alec Sharp (the only person who really seemed like he was trying to help and not just get rid of us), Benji Lodholm and Tim Moorhead. We have had to take time away from work and the very little time together that we already share as a low income family. With issues ranging from customer service to the actual car that we purchased, it has not been worth it at all and if we could turn back time, we never would have purchased anything from any Groove car lot. On our first visit we were directed to (the salesman), who they said was the only salesman able to work with us because we were going through Uber's financing which requires certain parameters such as mileage, make, and year of the car. My husband had been talking to him about a Ford Fusion that we were interested in. (the salesman) told us to come in and give it a test drive but when we arrived for the day he jerked us around and said that it wasn't available to be test driven at the moment, because it was being repaired. Okay, that happens. So we came back the following day. (the salesman) did not shake my hand when I was introduced to him, which is something I have never had happen with a sale. It's very disrespectful. Also, (the salesman) answered a personal call in the middle of answering questions from us about the vehicle. Again, showing no respect for the customer who would be paying his commission. On this trip we were able to take the Fusion for a test drive. It was very loud, pulled to the right, and still had trash in the back seat from the previous owner. My husband has been a mechanic for the last 15 years and knew that it was loud because the exhaust was gutted and damaging the vehicle. Because we would be buying the vehicle for expressly for Uber, we could not drive it as is. (the salesman) said that they would be able to replace it before we used the Ford for Uber. However, when the used service manager (Dennis) said that they would not be able to restore the factory muffler because it was not directly damaging the car. Now we had to take our brand new car to a different shop that was able to fix it for $500. Because the exhaust system had been destroyed, the water pump had also been damaged due to over heating. Again, the used service manager said that they would not be able to assist with the damage, but since it was under warranty they did the work. During this time we also noticed that the front wheel well was missing the plastic shield that prevents snow and rain from getting in the body. When my husband told Dennis that this was the issue we were well within the warranty time frame. Dennis told us that he would order the part and call us when it was in. About 2 weeks later we still had not heard from him and I called to check when the part would be in and was told that my car was no longer covered under the warranty, they would not be able to fix it and the part had never been ordered. To get us off his back, Dennis ordered the part and finally made an appointment (November 16, 1pm) for us to come by and have it installed. On 11/30 this had to be reinstalled due to improper installation, we noticed when it was making noise every time we turned the wheel. When we purchased the vehicle the service department had inspected it and said the tires were at 9/32” however when it rained we were sliding. I took the Fusion to Big O tires, who were kind enough to check the tires for me and rated them around 5/32. This was less than a month (<2000miles) after we had purchased the Fusion but somehow the tires had degraded 40% in that time. Around this time we noticed a defect in the front left tire and had to have it replaced. We now have 3 slippery tires and one really sticky tire. Due to the winter season coming I had to replace the tires for $700 at Big O to ensure the vehicle was safe to drive. There have also been some electrical issues; our sync cuts out randomly. It will sometimes work for a few days, sometimes a few weeks then all of a sudden it cannot connect to any Bluetooth device. We were directed to Groove Ford for this issue but apparently our bumper-to-bumper warranty does not cover this and they want to charge us $75 for them to fix it. I understand if a warranty does not cover something but the phrase 'bumper-to-bumper' is exceptionally misleading. In the end it was apparently covered under warranty because after the 6th time of bringing it in due to SYNC issues, it was discovered that the entire system is faulty and will have to be left at the shop again to replace the entire unit. The locks had to be reprogrammed and replaced. The passenger rear window and wiper motor had to be reprogrammed after an employee who left Groove Ford abruptly quit/fired didn't schedule the appointment we agreed upon. I have requested for appointments a total of 14 times ad I am still having brake, transmission and SYNC issues even after they have be “repaired”. Please respond to me. There are many other things that I would like to state here, like the extremely low moral of seemingly all the employees of Groove. However, I have already take time out off work to document these issues and am try to get back to work with a safe vehicle. This is what I have come to expect from Groove Toyota and Ford, poor results and low quality. I will continue to dissuade people from buying from any Groove location. Quick itemized list of issues (the * signifies this is still an issue): Exhaust system, water pump, *tires*, *SYNC (Bluetooth, primary account number)*, wheel well liner, window (motor, auto feature and switches, reprogram), *transmission (slips, misses gear completely, shifts hard)*, *rear air vent (they won't replace because I cant prove to them that it was broken when purchase because Groove Toyota did not document it*, windshield wipes, *Brake pedal to the floor*, I had to personally replace the cabin air filter since the technicians did not (it was black and moldy). Thank you for your time. More

A+: Facilities, Josh, and Mark I’ve been looking to close a deal on a vehicle for two years. Let me introduce you to the guy who won my business, sales rep Josh Barreiro from Groov I’ve been looking to close a deal on a vehicle for two years. Let me introduce you to the guy who won my business, sales rep Josh Barreiro from Groove Toyota. Over my car journey, I’ve dealt with a lot of different kinds of dealerships and sales reps. Josh has a confident laid back style because he knows he can get you the best deal. And truly, he did as I shopped around all over (multiple cities and states). This isn’t to say Josh was a poor negotiator, he just doesn’t condescend you with xxxxxxxx and pressure you into the sale. Every negotiation has a bit of back and forth, and it wasn’t stressful or annoying to work with Josh. I’m happy about the deal, how it was struck, and the people involved. Josh maintained integrity and earned my business. PS: Mark Lindell (finance manager) made the last part (financial process) quick and easy! More
