For most people, the title "car salesman" will For most people, the title "car salesman" will immediately raise suspicions. However, my experiences with Smithtown Toyota have been such as to For most people, the title "car salesman" will immediately raise suspicions. However, my experiences with Smithtown Toyota have been such as to erase that fear in me, so much so that I recently returned to purchase my 6th automobile from them. Recently retired, I was set on treating myself well. With an Avalon in mind I sat and spoke, at length, with Guy Albergo, Sales Manager. We discussed whether or not I would be better served with a Camry XLE. The model we discussed would allow me to receive more options than I thought I could afford for a lower cost. Moreover, with the help of Karen D'Andrea and Carolyn Dunleavy, I was told that leasing that model would save me over a hundred dollars per month in payments. Now I ask you, if these "car dealers" really wanted to just make money off me would they have: 1) recommended a less expensive automobile, 2) given me more options that I thought I could get, and 3) informed me of leasing as apposed to purchasing, which made my payments lower ? I'll let you decide. More

One word comes to mind; Shady. Basically, after I signed, left a deposit, and was all ready to pick up my car, that I thought I had just bought, they call me up saying his manager didn't agree on a p signed, left a deposit, and was all ready to pick up my car, that I thought I had just bought, they call me up saying his manager didn't agree on a price I had already signed for. Meanwhile, I waited at least a half hour just to get approval from his boss via text message, who apparently was busy at a soccer game. Then they wanted to changed the price to $2,000 more than I signed for. They make offers they cant approve. More

I went with the lease and got a great payment on a limited Rav4. I love my new car and I will always return to Smithtown Toyota. The whole transaction was enjoyable. There was no pressure to buy until I was set on the vehicle I could afford.

My wife and I visited SmithTown Toyota looking to lease a Magnetic Gray 2010 Corolla LE. We decided to visit SmithTown based on the recommendation of a family friend and on their great reviews on Dealerrater Magnetic Gray 2010 Corolla LE. We decided to visit SmithTown based on the recommendation of a family friend and on their great reviews on Dealerrater.com. We had previously visited several dealerships in Queens, Nassau and Suffolk and had experience the "typical" car buying experience: Pushy and incompetent sales reps and even pushier sales managers. For first time leasers, please avoid any sales person who is ignorant of the car you are buying, cannot tell you any information about the lease offer, or has to check with their manager for the most mundane questions asked by the buyers. At SmithTown, we were assigned to Carolyn Dunleavy. She immediately walked us through Toyota's leasing promotion in great detail, calculated various payment scenarios and answered ALL of our leasing and car questions on the spot. She was not pushy at all. She was very patient, knowledgeable and everything else that all the other sales people were not (no exaggeration). This was our first car lease and, although we had done our homework, we wanted the sales person to address all our questions and concerns. My wife and I are the kind the people who read the small print on contracts. At the signing, Carolyn patiently waited while we read the entire contract, front and back, before signing it. Finally, the car was delivered as promised. I would have to say that Carolyn deserves a five-star rating for her professionalism, knowledge and good salesmanship. BUT here is why I did not give the dealership a five-star rating: A check for the value of my trade-in was supposed to be cut at the closing, but it was not there. Whoever was handling the paperwork forgot this. We received the check after almost two weeks - and the name on the check was misspelled - which brings me to my second issue. My wife's name was completely misspelled on all of Toyota's correspondence and most importantly on our Billing Statement. In conclusion, I would highly recommend SmithTown Toyota to anybody looking for a great first time leasing experience- Ask for Carolyn. More

I went for my regular 5,000 mile service interval which involves an oil change and tire rotation and I left the car there all day but when I came to pick it up, it had not been done yet. They claimed that involves an oil change and tire rotation and I left the car there all day but when I came to pick it up, it had not been done yet. They claimed that the paperwork was lost but that wasn't the first time something like that happened. They really need to improve their service department scheduling since any mechanic can do an oil change in 30 minutes or less. Sorry Smithtown Toyota, 3 strikes and you're out. More

I read the reviews about their service department, and I read the reviews about their sales people....well, I never got the chance to find out about their service department.. Their sales department is a ri read the reviews about their sales people....well, I never got the chance to find out about their service department.. Their sales department is a rippoff... was looking for a solara sle convertible...they had one that matched the specifications I was looking for, but it seems it was one of the bosses demo car...with over 7000 miles on it. To be honest, the other dealer was not close to my home, so I figured if we could get within a fair number to save myself a trip, I would go with them. They wanted $1600.00 more than another toyota dealer wanted for the same car, with the same options, and with 1000 less miles...to cap off their greed, they offered me $3000.00 less in trade in value on my car than the same competing toyota dealer did. when I called them on it, they brushed me off as someone they couldn't dupe. They may be real nice when you visit them, but when it comes down to dollars and cents...they are ripping people off. I would look twice before buying something from them. Do your research people, and you will see how they are trying to get you to overpay for their cars, and screw you on your trade-in. Want to know more? email me More
