Mike Johnson's Hickory Toyota

Best experience ever! I live over 2 hours away from Hickory, and have never been there, but I just bought a 1794 Tundra from them! I sent in an email and Nicolette respond I live over 2 hours away from Hickory, and have never been there, but I just bought a 1794 Tundra from them! I sent in an email and Nicolette responded almost immediately, asked what model I was looking for, asked me about my trade in and presented some numbers to me. After a few emails (mostly delay on my part), a deal was struck. I was contacted by the sales manager, general sales manager and the internet manager within one days time frame ensuring I had all the info I needed to make a smart decision. I checked with a few other Toyota dealers and Hickory beat them all and even delivered the truck to me in SW Virginia!! I wonder if the salesperson at a different Toyota store regrets asking me "are you sure the 1794 is in your budget"? Oops, sorry amigo. Great job Hickory Toyota! More

Miserable Experience First,I know this is long but I believe in buyer beware. It all started when me and my grandmother went to buy me a car at Mike Johnsons. We were First,I know this is long but I believe in buyer beware. It all started when me and my grandmother went to buy me a car at Mike Johnsons. We were talked into a straw purchase at another dealership and we were not aware of what this was so we wanted to get the car in my name as well. We worked with Kent and Andy and we decided on a new camry. Going in there were a few hicuups, there was a payment showing late with Toyota on the current vehicle which we proved was not late by showing our bank statement to Toyota. We were assured though that we were ok so we went in to sign. Where you used to sign carbon copies, that doesn't happen anymore, you actually sign on a giant ipad the size of the desk. After being there for 5 hours we were done for. We were ready to sign so the gentleman that assisted us with this is taught very well to rush you through everything and enlarges the signature area which covers most of what you should be reading. We really messed up because we thought we read the contract in detail but after getting home we realized that we signed a contract that included $4000 in add on warranties and such on a brand new car mind you. So now its time to go home, they give us a great tutorial on how to use the car and tell us it is ours. Fast forward to Monday and they tell us there is a problem in finance and that we need to give it time to be worked out. Tuesday rolls around and we are told to bring the car back that financing fell through due to the late payment. Crushed, I couldn't understand why we have a signed contract in hand yet they want it back. So, I contacted our lawyer and he handled the situation for us all while we were threatened to be arrested for not returning the car that day. I have emails to prove the threats. THe next day my attorney contacted them and their attorney and they send over something that lead to the truth. We were led on to believe the car was ours when in reality it was a spot delivery. They turned in a form we supposedly signed stating we would return the car if financing fell through but its funny they didn't include that form in all of our paperwork. Again we were threatened with being arrested which scared my grandmother. Our attorney told their attorney we would return their car that evening but we would like our $2500 down payment back which he was told we would. On our way there he berated me on the phone and said I had been shopping at other dealers in "HIS" car which he got the information from our finance company. When we got there they did not have our check because we came after 5 and the guys that write the checks were gone for the day. I then made Andy the Manager signed a form stating they would bring the check to us the next day which they did. But when we were ready to leave and retrieve our keys they only had one and we know for a fact we left both there and unfortunately they had to have lost it. I asked them to make it right but Andy refused. Well a week later I called to speak with a manager and no one was available. A little later I got a call back from andy after I told the receptionist I did not want to speak with him specifically because he had been very condescending and rude to me several times throughout this experience. Well as we are discussing the missing key I asked him to make the whole situation right by them making another key for me. He then proceeds to start being rude and condescending again saying things like you are the one that made a straw purchase at the other dealership and saying well if you are going to review us you need to tell the whole story. Those were his exact words. In the end I did not get a new car and I'm now out a key that they lost and refuse to make me another one. We don't deserve all of this bad customer service and being talked to so rudely just because the deal did not go through. So please steer clear of this dealership and its employees. More

Gutwrenching ordeal My credit is not great. Told the agent that upfront. Was expected to be told no quickly, not 2 weeks later. Was told I was approved for a 2014 Chevy C My credit is not great. Told the agent that upfront. Was expected to be told no quickly, not 2 weeks later. Was told I was approved for a 2014 Chevy Crude. Took car home, had temporary tag, it was on MY insurance. For 2 weeks I dealt with calls needing another way to prove my boyfriend's residence. He's on the lease but not utility bills. After 2 weeks of this we were finally told it wasn't going to work to return the car. I have anxiety and going through this was he'll! We now have a 2018 from another dealer who was smart enough to know that all we needed was the landlord to sign the lease and we was good to go. More

FANTASTIC!! The service department is top-rate!! I can always trust Scott Wheatley to provide an honest assessment. We have bought and serviced three Toyotas at M The service department is top-rate!! I can always trust Scott Wheatley to provide an honest assessment. We have bought and serviced three Toyotas at Mike Johnson's and have never felt "cheated." I know I will get "straight-talk" without adding service I don't need. After driving Toyotas for over 15 years, I made the mistake of trying a Honda--What a bad decision! The Honda service department doesn't compare to Mike Johnson's--The Honda service department makes it difficult to schedule an appointment, appointments take much longer than expected, and the service managers are NOT friendly. I do not feel welcome. I never see the same people. Thank goodness Mike Johnson services Hondas!! More
