Thanks for my new ride Paul Berry! My sales associate Paul berry was honest, laid back, and easy to deal with. I will continue to buy from him and he is a valuable member f your team. T My sales associate Paul berry was honest, laid back, and easy to deal with. I will continue to buy from him and he is a valuable member f your team. The car buying process is exhausting and he made everything SO EASY! And was willing to help me negotiate my lease terms dependent on my financial situation. I wish I had went to Haley first before I wasted my time on all the other Toyota dealerships in the area. More
Why I had a great experience? Starts with Mr. Paul Berry Our Haley Toyota experience was a wonderful one; we have Mr. Paul Berry, Sales and Leasing Service, and Ms. Jeannine McDevitt, Pre-Owned Car Manager, Our Haley Toyota experience was a wonderful one; we have Mr. Paul Berry, Sales and Leasing Service, and Ms. Jeannine McDevitt, Pre-Owned Car Manager, to thank for that! Like many, we arrived to browse inventory. Our reception began with Mr. Berry, the first to provide us a nice greeting. He listened to our needs, provided us the opportunity to view the lot unaccompanied and then allowed us to test-drive selected vehicles. We test drove two; we remained on the large lot. It was easy to rule one out for comfort; the other remained an option – though the available rebates placed the vehicle outside our price range. Next, we requested to view the pre-owned lot for a cost comparison basis – again, we did so unaccompanied (and that suited our needs for open communication among my family). We perused on our own time; never feeling rushed. Thirty minutes later we requested a quick test drive of a Ford C-Max (Hybrid). It was a joy to ride. Recognizing our excitement Mr. Berry provided us plates for an extended test-drive. We were able to do so unaccompanied. We moved into discussions shortly thereafter. My offer was firm and fair – where I get a good value to me and where the dealership can profit too. My offer was not initially accepted, but the difference was only $400. I remained firm but fair; there was no pressure. After a gentlemanly handshake, we parted. Later that day, Mr. Berry contacted me via a few back –and-forth texts (my preferred contact method over phone calls) and shared that my offer was accepted. We headed there the next day to also ask for a possible trade-in too. Again, the number in my head for our trade-in was firm but fair. Within a reasonable time period (and some friendly back and forth), Mr. Berry shared that he was able to meet my set value (which I averaged for my car between fair and good condition). Before signing the paperwork, Mr. Berry provided me a ‘carfax-like’ document providing the history on the vehicle. I also requested information on the expected life of the brakes and tires. Mr. Berry was unable to provide that specifically, though he reached out to Ms. McDevitt. Ms. McDevitt was unable to pull the paperwork that day (as the car came from another dealership), but she offered to provide measurements for each item. Perfect! Mr. Berry was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! He accepted my firm but fair approach, contacted me in the medium that I preferred and, equally as important, he spoke to my wife as much as he did me – very respectful! (My wife also appreciated that!) Ms. McDevitt, who ultimately approved the deal, also ensured my comfort on expected, future maintenance. Need a car…go see Mr. PAUL BERRY!!!!! More
Excellent repeat experience My wife got her first Sienna here in 2008. We serviced the car there. She drove it 155,000 miles in 8 years. Was so happy with the overall experience My wife got her first Sienna here in 2008. We serviced the car there. She drove it 155,000 miles in 8 years. Was so happy with the overall experience and the car that we bought a 2016 Sienna this month. The buying process both time was pain-free (an unusual statement for car dealers). We were not pressured in getting a car we did not want, they in fact went out of the way to get the exact color and options we specified. They did not pressure us in getting any "special" paint or interior or extended warranty services. I like that, I highly recommend them. More

Nope. Not recommended I went in there interested in a car. Way too much pressure on me. I just went in interested and didn't want to feel like I had to come back. I told th I went in there interested in a car. Way too much pressure on me. I just went in interested and didn't want to feel like I had to come back. I told them I may come back if I I made up my mind but it wasn't easy either. They were all on me trying to make me sign a contract and I let them know a number of times that I wasn't comfortable doing such a things at the time. So I finally left the dealership and they wouldn't stop calling me on my cell phone, leaving me voicemail and basically hounding me about going back to them. Sorry, but you should have some class and give people some space to want to do business with you. Not my type of people, sorry. I ended up going to a different Toyota dealership and bought a car from there. They didn't pressure me, treated me with respect and didn't call me 5 times a day to make me go back there. More
Friendly, expedited process I recently purchased a used Tundra from George and Jeannine. Their level of customer service and integrity has been unmatched in my previous c I recently purchased a used Tundra from George and Jeannine. Their level of customer service and integrity has been unmatched in my previous car buying experiences. Both are easy to talk to, and are there to meet YOUR needs whether in regard to choosing a vehicle, or financial. So far I have had 1 issue with the truck (Brakes). Jeannine swiftly placed me in a loaner vehicle to drive while she honored the warranty. Jeannine stands behind her used cars and only markets inventory she is confident in possibly offering a warranty with. I am glad I stopped by to meet George and Jeannine and look forward to giving them business in the future when I trade in the older 4Runner. More
Ran my credit multiple times without permission I applied for a lease through Toyota Financial on January 14th 2016 and selected Haley Toyota as the local dealer. I was contacted by Frazier Linsday I applied for a lease through Toyota Financial on January 14th 2016 and selected Haley Toyota as the local dealer. I was contacted by Frazier Linsday, an internet sales rep, via Email a few minutes later requesting some further information such as how much money we would put down. After replying immediately, I was told that another rep, Amanda Jackson, would be assisting me since he was not going to be in for the weekend. This is where I believe the issue occurred... I was then asked to send all sorts of information, such as pay stubs, income statements and more personal information that was already included in the initial credit Application online. Before providing this information, we decided to go with a different Vehicle than we initially selected online through the application because of a price difference. Although I understand that in certain circumstances, more info such as pay stubs etc. would be needed, I could not understand why I was being asked for information that was already provided to Toyota on their website for financing. When I inquired about the unusual requests for redundant information I was told that when the dealer receives the application from Toyota, they are only provided with SS#, Name and Contact Info and that the rest needs to be filled in by the dealer. It seemed strange but we sent everything that was requested within a few hours. It took several days, countless emails and many phone calls (7 Days), to finally get a response on our inquiry and when it came back it came back as their lowest tier possible and thus too high of a monthly payment for most. We received 2 letters from Toyota informing us that they would not be able to grant credit based on the information provided, so I decided to check our credit reports to compare the numbers they used vs ours. Our Credit Reports showed 3 "hard inquiries" made by Toyota and Haley on each Experian and Equifax and 2 "hard Inquires" on Transunion. Two of these are shown on 1/14 and then another on 1/18. I immediately called and emailed requesting an explanation of the results and was contacted by Jose Gonzalez, Internet Sales Manager. He gave me a verbal runaround (the reason why I try and do all inquires via email) as sales people do and convinced me that every time someone goes through Toyota, you get 2 "hard inquiries" on your credit. I got off the phone and researched some more, emailed Jose again and demanded for them to remove the numerous inquiries because as a result of those numerous inquires, my Equifax Score dropped over 50 Points. Literally nothing else has changed on my reports and the only variable was these multiple inquiries. The response I then got was that "you changed vehicles" so every time you change vehicles we hit your credit again and that because we asked them to change the vehicle to another model, we authorized them to run credit again. In addition to that, I was given a runaround explanation of how credit works, which was almost entirely composed of quotes from blog opinion sites and mostly false information and points that had literally nothing to do with our specific scenario. It was obvious that when they switched from one sales rep to another, things got lost and information was not supplied correctly from one to another. When questioned about it, they covered their tracks with double talk and lies. I have filed requests to have the numerous "hard inquires" removed now have to dispute with the individual credit reporting agencies. I would highly suggest finding out specifically how many times your credit is going to be run when you talk to this dealer. More
Nice sales crew, but terrible in communication Went to Haley Toyota for routine service today - a state inspection and a refresh/reseal of the paint protection. The Paint Protection Program is a 5- Went to Haley Toyota for routine service today - a state inspection and a refresh/reseal of the paint protection. The Paint Protection Program is a 5-year program and cost $500 when I bought the car new from Haley exactly 3 years ago. Part of the conditions of the program is to have the paint protection periodically "refreshed". When I had the car inspected last year, I asked the service tech how often the refresh should be done, and he said, "about once a year". When I took the car in today, the service tech (a different one) told me the free refresh was a one-time event and I would need to pay around $150 to have it done again. I told the tech what the other tech had told me and he said, "the other tech must have been confused". I also told him I had paid $500 and it was for a 5-year program. He said he realized that, but the "administrator" said I would have to pay. The point is, DO NOT BE SUCKED IN TO BUYING THE PAINT PROTECTION PROGRAM!! It is a major rip-off. You can get a similar program for half the cost at an independent shop. More
Manipulative and dishonest people but great car We visited here on a last minute decision of just being tired of my small car. While test driving a particular vehicle, the salesperson told me they We visited here on a last minute decision of just being tired of my small car. While test driving a particular vehicle, the salesperson told me they offered 0%. My husband and I made it clear that's what we were looking for and didn't want to go any further with the sale if that was not an option. He would never give us a clear answer and neither would the financial office. (Should've left really.) But I had always had good experiences with them finding exactly what I wanted when other dealerships wouldn't. Salesperson said there were only 2 in the region (we had checked inventory online and knew no one in the area had one so we had to trust he was right). Salesperson said they could have it shipped here in a week (took almost a month) so we could test drive it and look at it. We continually asked about financing and he brought a piece of paper with handwritten 60 or 72 month option on it with different price ranges of the payments (NEVER the interest rate) and told us to initial by which one we wanted (either 60 or 72). Once again we made it clear we only wanted to do this if we could get the 0% and not to bother to even have it shipped here. We were never given a direct answer as to what rate the price ranges included. During the 3-4 weeks we waited we had several phone calls from the salesman and financial people where we once again emphasized with everyone the 0% and were never given a straight answer. When the car comes in (and we loved it) a financial guy comes over and tells us that "we've never offered 0% on your vehicle or any of the bigger vehicles." Then they pull out the paper where we initialed which length in terms we wanted and used it against us. We were pissed because at no point were we told we initialed any agreement on a rate. Now we were screwed. We knew we couldn't go anywhere else to get the exact vehicle we wanted but in no way we were okay with the way they played us. They sent a survey through the mail and I completed in online. Several hours later I receive a phone call from the store manager (George?) wanting to discuss it. He told me that they were not being dishonest and that we had signed that we wanted the 4.99 rate. I had to defend us again and say "no your salesperson told us to Initial whether we wanted 60 or 72 months NEVER a 4.99%." He showed no remorse or sympathy so now I will never even return to service my vehicle. It has nothing to do with money. In fact if they had just been upfront with the rates we wouldn't have had a problem (we have the ability it to pay the loan in full at any point so in the end it didn't really matter to us). It has everything to do with the underhanded acts, dishonesty, and manipulation. Thought dealerships had learned by now that the old school used car salesmen bullying techniques were unacceptable now-a-days. Then to call to convince me that they didn't pull one over us was the kicker. (Not to mention I was so upset when writing the review I mixed up a few details on the review and also noted that I would return for service. Wish I had thought more clearly on that.) My hope is that no one else will be played this way. We need to replace our other car in the next couple years and will not be returning to them. Should've listened to the inlaws when they both said they'd never do business with Haley. More
Finally a dealership committed to integrity & honesty! Super duo team; George Savoy (sales) & Jeannine McDevitt (used car manager)! I bought a pre-owned vehicle from Haley Toyota in Midlothian, VA Super duo team; George Savoy (sales) & Jeannine McDevitt (used car manager)! I bought a pre-owned vehicle from Haley Toyota in Midlothian, VA & it was a bit scary to purchase something used, let alone something that was 6 years old! It didn't look old, but it needed some minor touch-ups that George & Jeannine promised they could do and gave me something called a "WE OWE YOU". I could come in at my convenience, turn in my copy of the "WE OWE YOU" and get the work done. Not only did they honor their promise, but the quality of work that was done to my car is OUTSTANDING! It is practically a brand new car! Finally a dealership with some integrity & honesty! I would highly recommend anyone to work with George Savoy & Jeannine McDevitt at this dealership! More
