Efficient, friendly and considerate! We called in to the dealership asking about a particular used Rav4 and got Jesse on the call. It was a pleasure working with him. He answered all of We called in to the dealership asking about a particular used Rav4 and got Jesse on the call. It was a pleasure working with him. He answered all of our questions about the purchase and went the extra effort to make the transition of "stuff" from our trade-in vehicle into the new so that we could drive away with the Rav that day. This is our second purchase from Ganley and will definitely check them out when we need another purchase. More

Was called liar and told don’t know what to tell you! I purchased a new 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794, I had Ganley put in a spray in bedliner and remote start. I paid almost $57,000 in cash after all was said I purchased a new 2018 Toyota Tundra 1794, I had Ganley put in a spray in bedliner and remote start. I paid almost $57,000 in cash after all was said and done. They had Custom Trim of America install bedliner and remote start. I paid $550 for the most basic remote start possible when I called Jim Steffens response was you said a remote start that’s what it does. I could go anywhere and get a better remote start with better features than this! Second when they put in bedliner they scratched my tailgate and covered up light that was in the truck bed. When I called to ask if they fixed my lights I was told it didn’t have lights, I showed 10 different people because I thought it was a cool feature at night when you shut off the truck. Was told by customer service and sales my truck didn’t have the feature I showed people. When Jim Steffen called me and told me my truck didn’t have that, he continually tried to talk over me and told me and I quote “I don’t know what to tell you! Great customer service after the sale!!! So now I’m writing this post I WILL FIND ANOTHER DEALER TO SERVICE MY TRUCK IF THIS IS HOW I’LL BE TREATED!!! More

Promises kept I found the van I was looking for online and went to see it. When I got there the van was not clean like it was described, Ruth Ham said she would mak I found the van I was looking for online and went to see it. When I got there the van was not clean like it was described, Ruth Ham said she would make sure everything met my expectations (which were admittedly high). I ended up buying the van that day and she oversaw the remaining items that were promised and provided a loan vehicle in the meantime. Our van was delivered on time and in great shape, better than she promised, and I got it at a fantastic price. More

Never Again After having bought our Avalon and our 4Runner at Ganley years ago, our daughter decided to buy her first car here. The used car salesman was nothing After having bought our Avalon and our 4Runner at Ganley years ago, our daughter decided to buy her first car here. The used car salesman was nothing like the salespeople we had dealt with before. He was the type who is stereotyped in bad tv shows. Be that as it may, the Toyota RAV4 that my daughter was purchasing had a lag in the steering, which they said they would repair. Upon returning to inspect the car, prior to purchase, we discovered that when they removed the steering column cover for repair, it had cracked. Instead of owning up to it, the steering column cover was being held on with black electrician's tape. That should've been our first warning sign. Especially when, after bringing this to the salesman's attention, he asked, "And...you're going to let that keep you from buying this car?" To his credit, he also repaired a broken tail light, but his remark, along with the taped column, was enough that we involved the general manager. He ordered a new column to be installed, and my daughter bought the car. Now, in the 8 months that she has owned the car, it has been a disaster. The wiper motors, both front and back died. Twice. Now, 4 days ago, every dash light came on and her car completely died. Couldn't even be jump started. We had it towed, on a flatbed, $85 dollars, back to Ganley. The service manager told her 2 of the 6 cylinders were not firing, the O2 sensors needed replaced, 2 coils are bad, needs new spark plugs, and the previously installed remote start was done incorrectly and was a mess of tangled wires and needs removed. (I will state here that the remote start was a huge selling point of the car.). He also told my daughter that she had only put 6000 miles on the car in the 8 months she has owned it, and these problems would have been building up far before her purchase. She inquired as to how this car could've passed their USED CAR INSPECTION process? (In my opinion, if a trade is good enough to be on a REPUTABLE dealer's lot, and not taken to auction, it should pass a thorough inspection.). Neither the service manager, the used sales manager, or the general manager was willing to answer that question, or offer an amicable solution, as they stated, "we already put too much into this car before you bought it." Firstly, the broken tail light and the cracked column cover were their responsibility. Secondly, with such low miles since purchasing, could they not have compromised on a repair of things that were already an issue when the car was on their sales lot? Lastly, the service department will not touch the remote start mechanism, even to remove it, since they did not install it. How is my daughter supposed to address this issue? And the higher price she paid when buying the car was due to the much touted convenience of having that remote start! Now it needs removed, through no fault of her. As it sits now, her car will need towed off Ganley Toyota's lot. Never again will we consider this dealership. **Update** The car has been towed. But not before the Service man said, "A car like this should've been auctioned. A reputable dealer wouldn't sell a car that had this many problems, even if it was 'as-is." **UPDATE 2-22-2018**. The local service center mechanic phoned to say that the ONLY ISSUE with the RAV4 was the electrical wiring. ABSOLUTELY NONE of the other items that Ganley stated needed addressed. The coils, the o2 sensors, the spark plugs, they were in perfect working order. The remote start wiring was corroded and needed removed. The local technician told my daughter that the wiring was so corroded that it appeared as though this car had been IN A FLOOD. We do not get flood waters like that here in Ohio. That being said, the estimate for repair from Ganley had been almost $2k. The actual repair was only $200. NEVER AGAIN,, Ganley. More

Rip-off Artist Bait and Switch! I visited Ganley Toyota on February 3, 2018 in order to take a look at a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime currently on display in the showroom. The Ganley Toyo I visited Ganley Toyota on February 3, 2018 in order to take a look at a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime currently on display in the showroom. The Ganley Toyota website advertises this car at MSRP, roughly $35,000. I called a salesman and arranged to meet him so I could learn more about the car. Once I arrived at Ganley, I noticed that a $3,000 MARKUP was added to the price, making it over $38,000. For comparison, that's a higher price than a Camry XSE. I was fully prepared to buy the Prime but not after being misled by the website and salesman (Davon). I walked out. I've owned 3 Priuses, and would like to own a Prius Prime. Later in the afternoon, someone (not Davon) called me. He told me that the Primes are "rare" and in "high-demand." Well. They are "rare" only because Toyota is limiting these cars to the coasts. But I've seen them at Motocars Toyota in Cleveland and at Don Joseph Toyota in Kent. By the way, those dealerships didn't add any markup! Then this person asked if I'd be expect to pay "list price" for a 1969 GTO. Seriously! Then he asked me if he could "get the price down" to MSRP, if I'd be willing to buy the Prius Prime. Here's a clue, Ganley! If you hadn't added a huge markup to this car, I just may have purchased it. But not now. I hope the car remains unsold for months. I'll never buy a car from this shady dealership. Never. More

EXCEPTIONAL This was clearly my best experience ever purchasing a vehicle. I had been looking for a new or used Jeep Wrangle 2 door to tow behind my motorhome f This was clearly my best experience ever purchasing a vehicle. I had been looking for a new or used Jeep Wrangle 2 door to tow behind my motorhome for 6 weeks. I happened to drive by and saw a used one on the lot and later stopped in and was fortunate enough to meet Jeff Carroll and have him as my Sales Consultant. Everything about working with Jeff was extraordinary. He is friendly, knowledgeable and thorough as was everyone I dealt with, Everthing was handled in a professional manner. I felt no pressure and felt he treated me like I was the customer. I had some unique requirements and Jeff was truely interested in helping me meet those requirements. Additionally, working with Denise Shanafelt for the paperwork was also an exceptional experience. Even detail was attended to including Carfax and financing. I got the exact vehicle I was looking for at a great price and had a wonderful experience to go along with it. And, actually this was my second exceptional experience. As I had service on my Mercedes prior to purchasing the Jeep that service influenced me to consider the Jeep purchase. Thanks to everybody. I highly reccommend Ganley! More

My sales person, Jim and finance Allie were wonderful. Jim was very knowledgeable and fun to work with. Allie was pleasant and explained all financing, taking away my stress. The most impressive was the car delivery. Never in my many years have I experienced what I did with my Camry. Jim went over the outside, inside, all buttons and the radio system with all its features. I feel like I have Watson in my Camry. I will definitely be back and refer everybody to Ganley Toyota and Jim Steffen. More
