Easy and comfortable I just visited the dealership to look at Suv's but my lease isn't ending for several months. The sales guy was very understanding and took the time to I just visited the dealership to look at Suv's but my lease isn't ending for several months. The sales guy was very understanding and took the time to walk the lot with me and gave me a lot of useful information on different models. I appreciate his patience and not being pushy with me. I will be back closer to my lease end. More
That Chris Keppel Sure is amazing This place is beyond great, I've been going here for the past 7 years for leases and purchaches. One employee you stands out above the rest is Chris This place is beyond great, I've been going here for the past 7 years for leases and purchaches. One employee you stands out above the rest is Chris Keppel, he is one of the finance managers. His is easy to talk to, explains all the products to you in detail so you know exactly what you're getting and breaks down the price per month for each service. I would highly recommend getting your financining from Mossy Toyota through Chris Keppel. More
fast and efficient Came in last night around 5pm with my husband and we were finished with a very thorough car delivery where our sales person went over every detail a Came in last night around 5pm with my husband and we were finished with a very thorough car delivery where our sales person went over every detail and hooked up our bluetooth by 8pm. Not too bad! In the past it's taken hours at other locations. Could not be happier with our 2017 Highlander and will definitely refer friends. More

First car buying experience I have never purchased a vehicle before or even wrote a review but I had to this time because I felt like I was taken care of and had an amazing first I have never purchased a vehicle before or even wrote a review but I had to this time because I felt like I was taken care of and had an amazing first car buying experience . The salesperson Percy Settle and manager Valerie Andrada were so helpful and caring that I decided to purchase the vehicle from Mossy Toyota . If you are deciding to purchase a vehicle stop by Mossy Toyota before you make a decision the selection of vehicles and the amazing management staff will make all the difference . More
First Time Car Buyer So I know many have had good and bad experiences at dealerships; long waits, unmotivated staff, or sometimes you feel like they are just talking you d So I know many have had good and bad experiences at dealerships; long waits, unmotivated staff, or sometimes you feel like they are just talking you down the rabbit hole. I'm here to write about my experience as a first time car buyer. Valerie and her excellent sales rep helped me find the car that was not only within my price range, but also stylish and reliable. I walked in through the pearly white doors at 11AM and out by 1PM... Just kidding I'm not going to sugar coat this review. I walked into Mossy TOYOTA (Don't get confused with Mossy FORD across the street) and was happily greeted by Percy Settle (Sales rep). I don't know if it was fate or maybe I'm just gullible, but Percy and I talked like equals. He first asked me what I was in for and helped me get comfortable for the Space Mountain of a rollercoaster that I was about to endure! Just kidding, we talked for a bit and he understood my situation with bad credit and no money in the bank. We then proceeded to look at cars, and boy did we look! He not only was able to help me find a car that was reasonable, but also stylish and newer than the car I previously had. During the test drive, I asked him if they do it to see if the person they were selling the car to, is a speed demon or drives like a snake on the highway so they can sell the driver more packages and make more money? He laughed and comforted me by saying they test drive with the person to listen for any outstanding defects on new and used cars, so they can say they proudly sell a safe and reliable car. After the drive, came the financial part, oh boy. After Percy was able to talk with his negotiators, a young lady by the name of Valerie came to talk with me. I spoke about my situation and she listened with all ears, took a look at my credit, and then proceeded upstairs. After a little over an hour of waiting with bathroom breaks and talking to Percy, Valerie came back down to call me to sign paperwork. I was a little confused at first, but Percy again reassured me letting me know that she knows what she is doing. I followed her and she brought me into a room that had a lot of paperwork. (xxx?! I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!) She sat me down and told me she was able to work with some people to help me get within my budget. It was ~$100 less than I was preparing to pay for with BAD CREDIT! THANK YOU VALERIE! To finish up, she went through all the paperwork with a breeze and told me what each and every one of my initials or signatures meant. She also explained to me the coverage options I could defer or recommended ones I should get 'just in case' situations come up. Not only was she professional, but also up front about my situation. She was worried because she didn't know what she could get for me. Overall, I ended up with a more reliable car that I can afford and it was thanks to the team at Mossy TOYOTA. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart! Thanks for reading because sometimes unsung heroes need to be recognized. I will probably copy and paste me review across the other review sites as well, too lazy to write a new one. By the way, I got a 2013 Toyota Corolla S. Again, nothing too fancy because I'm a practical kind of person and they treated me as such. Find someone who will understand you and what your needs are and listens to you. More
Update PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW It's been three hours since I sat down in this chair and waited for finance to call me. I bought a car from this incompet PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW It's been three hours since I sat down in this chair and waited for finance to call me. I bought a car from this incompetent dealership nearly three months ago and have not received my plates. When the DMV sent me a letter notifying that my registration is due, I figured I would come pay Mossy Toyota a visit to sort things out officially/face to face (as opposed to having the salesman tell me "I'm still checking" day after day). The customer prior to me left more than 40 minutes ago, yet I'm still waiting for Chris in financing. Please take yourself to a more competent, professional dealership that'll get take care of your paperwork & legal issues in a prompt fashion. This is beyond ridiculous. Turns out, i waited three hours for absolutely no reason. When I first walked into the dealership, I was greeted by a salesman who was standing outside and kindly asked what I needed. I told him that I need to talk to the financing office to get my plate situation sorted out to which he responded with a polite gesture towards the coffee machine so that I could sit and wait comfortably. Little did I xxxxing know that he told NO ONE about my situation and the rest of the salesmen ASSUMED I was tagging along with another family because I was YOUNG AND BY MYSELF. Just because I was a young, teenage-looking girl, they didn't care to ask for what I needed throughout the ENTIRE three hours. So after three hours of waiting & thinking that the first salesman took care of my situation, I found out that no one was even considering my presence despite the fact that I sat there alone for three hours. No free tank of gas or complimentary detail is going to eradicate this. Its 11:30 and I have to be up at 4:15am. Thanks, Mossy. For your amazing team of communicators and leaders. Please take yourself to another dealer to avoid wasting three hours of you life like I did. 10/12/16 The salesman who promised to compensate me after waiting three hours told me that he'd take care of my license plates. I told him that I'd be there around 8pm on 10/11/16. When I got to the dealership at 7:45, I asked for Luis Gomes and everyone looked confused. They informed me that he left for the day. No emergency, no excuse. He just left. If that doesn't deter you from this dealership, let me continue. I talked to the financer, John, who assured me that the plates were in the DMV's possession, not theirs. He said that they have no control of when plates are distributed and that he would contact their DMV clerk the following day. The following day (today) I received a phone call from the dealership; the receptionist told me that they have ONE of my TWO plates. And that there are NO REGISTRATION STICKERS on the plates of a USED car. Upon arrival, I saw that the receptionist had a box FULL of unopened envelopes and scattered registration stickers. She pulled out one of the envelopes and handed it to me, saying that they don't have the stickers and that the DMV must have messed it up. Since I've already been xxxxed over multiple times by this dealership, I decided to call USPS and ask about the tracking number that was attached to my plate. Unsurprisingly, the package was delivered and signed off a month ago. Since I have no stickers, I still have no use for my license plate and Mossy Toyota refuses to take responsibility. So, not only is this dealership profiling by age and completely incompetent... It's blatantly dishonest as well. Of course there are VERY few workers who take their job seriously; however, this was my experience and I believe that no one should be treated so unjustly. 10/14/16 A day after leaving this Yelp review, Luis called me and informed me that his manager yelled at him because she read this review. In a passive-aggressive tone, he basically ordered me to change my Yelp review. To be clear, it wasn't Luis's fault that I was put into this situation, and he was kind enough to offer help that dreadful Monday night. Nonetheless, that doesn't change the fact that he left the dealership after I informed him of the exact time I'd be there. I'm not sure if that qualifies as helping out with my situation. Thankfully, Karla (who I'm assuming is his manager) called me shortly after Luis did and asked me to reiterate the entire incident. She by FAR is the most professional and kind out of everyone I've had to deal with; so, if you find yourself in a situation similar to mine, you NEED to contact her directly. Anyways, after a ten minute phone call with her, she assured that she'd be in contact with me again to take care of my plates. An hour and a half later, I received a phone call from her, but couldn't pick up. She explained to me that the dealer will be paying for the new plates and that all I had to do was sign the papers. Next day, she told me that they are willing to pay for my registration as well. So, these 5 stars are for Karla, the savior of the day. More
Terrible dealership and customer service I gave this dealership such a low rating first off because when I purchased my car new, there were areas on the car door where the paint had been chip I gave this dealership such a low rating first off because when I purchased my car new, there were areas on the car door where the paint had been chipped. I was promised it would get fixed free of charge; however, they never made this process easy and at one point, I was being communicated with via text message. Furthermore, the salesperson who showed me the car the day I bought it did not know what he was talking about. They put on the wrong type of protection I wanted for my car and charged me for it. Instead of door protectors, they mounted the horizontal body protectors. The salesman even texted me inappropriate messages asking me out to a party. Finally, I went to this dealership to get my car serviced and after the service of my vehicle I noticed that I was missing jewelry from my compartment that I take off when I go to the gym. When I moved from California to Texas, I was finally able to get the chipped paint problem fixed by a Texas dealership. When I called Mossy Toyota to let them know I was getting this problem fixed in Texas, asking them to pay for it since it was supposed to be fixed free of charge, they told me they would call me back...nope, never did. The worst customer service and it's a shame I purchased my vehicle from here. I'm embarrassed to have their license plate frame around my license plate. More
No integrity, do not value patrons or their time DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MOSSY TOYOTA!!! PLEASE SHARE! This dealership's service department has no integrity, no respect for patrons or their time. T DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MOSSY TOYOTA!!! PLEASE SHARE! This dealership's service department has no integrity, no respect for patrons or their time. They quoted a price of $130 to make a new key for my daughter's car, knowing she has no existing key, and instructed her she'd have to get it towed to them. We had it towed here and were then told it's $430. The person who gave us the quote confirmed to management she t quoted a cost of $130. It took several minutes to get to talk with the service manager, DALE SNOW, who would not agree to honor the quote. I explained the last time we were here for a recall they did not have the parts even though we'd made an appointment so we had to come back a second time and he was nowhere to be found when we tried to complain on both occasions. My daughter is very sick and working on her PhD, so this is all particularly inconvenient and costly. I told him this is no way to manage a service department or conduct business and that we can find a locksmith to come to us for only $120. His response was to say he'd split the difference, rather than to honor their original quote. Obviously we're having the locksmith come instead and will never come to MOSSY TOYOTA again! I ask that you pass this along and stay clear of this crooked, uncaring business! More
Surprise Bills I came in to get my doors and brakes looked at and to get an oil change. Richard from service checked me in, and I told him what I needed to have them I came in to get my doors and brakes looked at and to get an oil change. Richard from service checked me in, and I told him what I needed to have them look at. At first he didn't say anything about any diagnostic fee, so l asked him, knowing that there usually is some kind of diagnostic fee. Of course there is. $130. I said that was fine because Richard assured me that "the $130 goes towards fixing the car." As it turns out, it was $1600 to have my doors fixed, so I obviously decided not to have them fix the doors and to just have them put on new brakes and do the oil change. After waiting over 4 hours, my car was finally finished and Richard explained to me the total. Previously, he told me it would be around $500 for new brakes and $35 for an oil change. Curiously, now Richard told me that the total was around $700. I asked him to break down the charges for me, and what do you know, there was the $130 diagnostic fee added on top of the cost of the brakes. I said, "Hey, I thought you said that the $130 went towards fixing the car." Richard responded that the $130 only went towards fixing the doors, not the breaks, and because I wasn't having the doors fixed the $130 had to be added on top. As you can imagine, my reaction was less than friendly. First, Richard did not tell me about any diagnostic fees, I had to ask him about it. Second, he tried to surprise me at the end with a bill that was way higher than what he had quoted and what I was expecting. This was a totally cheap move on their part and something a classic, dishonest car dealership would do. After telling him how unhappy I was with him, he knocked the $130 in half, but it was still unacceptable. Oh and before I forget, while I was waiting for four hours, I overheard what I assumed to be a sales manager tell a group of salespeople that "If you were just straight up with people, we wouldn't have all these problems" to which they all had a good chuckle. Classic. Haha. Ha. Ha. Overall, my experience was that this dealership will try to screw people out of money, has very poor customer service skills, and takes an extremely long time to do any repairs. More
