I Really great experience at Charles Barker Toyota of Virginia Beach. Let me start off by saying that I pretty much dread the car buying process. I'm not a great "haggler", I'm pretty nonconfrontational, and every time in a car dealership, i feel like i'm getting screwed six different ways. Not so with Charles Barker. The entire process was amazingly no pressure and very straightforward. I had been looking for a used Toyota Sienna to replace our 5-year old Sienna that had been totaled in an accident. I found one listed on cars.com at Charles Barker for about $2500 less than comparable models were selling elsewhere. I was skeptical--deal seemed to good to be true. But I drove 90 miles from Richmond to Virginia beach to check it out. they had the Sienna waiting up front for us. It had been cleaned and detailed immaculately. I was really surprised--for the low price I had expected to find some unlisted defect or damage, but the car was in amazing shape. The only thing we saw: my father-in-law pointed out that the treads on the two rear tires looked low. I asked them about that, not expecting any concessions since the car was already priced so low. But Jesse, our salesman immediately said "yeah, you're right…let's see what we can do about that." And they took $500 off the price to cover the cost of two new tires. No haggling, arm wrestling or anything. Of course we were offered the extended warranty--had to do the whole routine where you go talk with the warranty salesman in his windowless office--but even he had a very low-key, no pressure presentation (which I respectfully declined). Overall, the entire car-buying transaction far exceeded my expectations. Really felt like these guys respected me, and were actually committed to treating customers with dignity. Our salesman Jesse was amazing: professional and helpful, but never once said anything that felt like pressure to buy the car. His manager Jeff Zulli was equally friendly and helpful. And outside of the warranty, we weren't offered ANY additional products or services to buy, which was great. The whole experience really changed my entire outlook on buying cars. I would enthusiastically encourage anyone looking at buying used or new Toyotas in the Virginia Beach area to visit Charles Barker. I have no affiliation with this dealership whatsoever. I am simply a customer who had a great car-buying experience, and I hope this review might help others to have a similar experience. More

This is the second car we have purchased through the dealership - the first being a Tundra, which was bought 10 years ago (and we are still driving)! The sales lady that sold my husband the truck is st dealership - the first being a Tundra, which was bought 10 years ago (and we are still driving)! The sales lady that sold my husband the truck is still with Charles Barker and my husband took a moment to say hello. As cliche as it may sound...it was positively a "no hassle - best price" experience for my husband and I. We test drove on Monday evening, returned Tuesday morning at 10, financed through the dealership, and drove our new Toyota 4runner off the lot around 11. Could it even get any easier than that???? It was truly a terrific experience!!! We will certainly recommend the dealership and if/when we are in the market for another new vehicle - Charles Barker is definitely where we will go! More

I had new brakes put on my 2006 Highlander. A week later my breaks started squeaking. When I brought it in I was told my rooters were bad. Now, shouldn't the mechanic that changed my front and rear brakes my breaks started squeaking. When I brought it in I was told my rooters were bad. Now, shouldn't the mechanic that changed my front and rear brakes noticed that the rooters were bad? So, I paid for new rooters. Two weeks later, my breaks are still squeaking. When I spoke to Mr. Williams he said it may be because of all the rain we have been having. He recommended that I wait a week so they can dry out. So, I did. My breaks still squeaked. I made an appointment for yesterday at 1600 to have them looked at. I arrived at 1530. After about 20 minutes of the 30 minute drive there my breaks stopped squeaking. When I arrived, they did not squeak! I left my vehicle overnight so that it could cool down. Supposedly, you have a shuttle service available, but, what you fail to inform people is that it is only available certain times!!! I have NEVER used your shuttle service so, did not know the hours it is available. At 1615 I was told the person was gone for the day. Mr. Williams did ask the service manager if there was someone that could give me a ride to my husbands place of employment about 10 miles away. But, I was told there is noone available to give me a ride. I walked several miles until my husband got off work at 1630 and picked me up. Just for your information there is not a sidewalk going all the way down Laskin Road! thank God that I am a 55 year old woman that is only 50 lbs overweight and not 100lbs!If my car would have been fixed correctly the first time I would not have had this terrible experience. After I had called the dealer several times today I was notified that me car is not squeaking. So, I told them to lock the keys in the car. I have purchased two vehicles from you within the last 6 years. I will NEVER purchase another one there! I will be sure to let the military members I work with know exactly how I was treated by Charles Barker Toyota! More
