Horrible terrible expenience with this car dealership Through the entire time when executing the paperwork, the mortgage manager, Philip was aggressively pushing us to finish the paperwork quickly. His en Through the entire time when executing the paperwork, the mortgage manager, Philip was aggressively pushing us to finish the paperwork quickly. His entire demeanor and attitude through our whole experience there was unpleasant and unprofessional, and when he continued to push us to finish the paperwork, we decided not to purchase the car. He made several unprofessional comments throughout our entire visit. We were at Star Toyota for over 3 hours. Before we started signing the papers, he stated that he was "accommodating" us. At that point, we already waited 3 hours for the sales team to draft and process the paperwork for execution. While we were in the middle of signing the paperwork, he made more unprofessional comments as he felt that we were not signing the paperwork as quickly as he would have liked. He stated that if we did not want to purchase the car, he would tear up the paperwork because it made no difference to him whether he made this sale. We decided not to buy the car, but they already charged on our credit card and refused to refund our payment on the same day, they still refuse to refund out payment after one week, I am going to file a complain to Attorney General office to get my money back. I will never ever recommend any prudential car buyer goes to their place to buy a car. More
A Mixed Bag I Leased my Toyota Rav-4 Limited from this dealership. The preliminary visits and the back ground work was done, however, on day of delivery, the aut I Leased my Toyota Rav-4 Limited from this dealership. The preliminary visits and the back ground work was done, however, on day of delivery, the automobile was not equipped as I had requested. There was no satellite radio, which I had agreed to have and paid for. They tried to push me into a different car, but I refused. I told them either they give me the car as ordered, or I was cancelling my deal. After much arguing, they reluctantly agreed to have the Satellite radio installed after market, which was my inconvenience. I insisted they give me a loaner car which again, they reluctantly agreed to do. I understand mistakes occur, however, it was the way in which they tried to weasel out of their original deal and the attitude which they displayed which was not decent. I reported the dealership to Toyota corporate. So typical of a car dealer?? HOWEVER, their Service Department is a different story. They are always helpful, courteous and willing to go the distance to make a customer happy. Maybe the service team could give a seminar to the Sales team in customer service skills and principles. So, I write with mixed feelings. Terrible Sales and Great Service. You decide which is more important. Not sure I will repeat this with my next auto. More
Breach of Agreement I went to Star Toyota to lease a new vehicle. I was told that they can make a deal with me on the return of my old leased vehicle. I explained that I went to Star Toyota to lease a new vehicle. I was told that they can make a deal with me on the return of my old leased vehicle. I explained that I was not ready and that I was concerned about wear and tear on the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected and I was told that there was not much damage and that Star would gladly pay for any wear and tear. indeed, they even put it in writing on a Lease Order Form for the new vehicle. Based on the agreement to handle wear and tear I agreed to lease a new vehicle from Star. Now Star refuses to honor their agreement. they have not responded to phone calls or letters. More
I Love My New Camry I'm up there in years and a family member felt that he should accompany me. Well, it wasn't necessary. A young man named Roy took care of us. He wa I'm up there in years and a family member felt that he should accompany me. Well, it wasn't necessary. A young man named Roy took care of us. He was informative, considerate, a truly lovely gentleman and I felt very comfortable with him. There were never any hidden fees nor did I feel uncomfortable. When I went to pick up my car, I again saw Roy who then introduced me to a young man who sat patiently with me so that I understood the dashboard and how to use all the bells and whistles.. He was terrific. And then I met Philip. What a terrific young man. Very helpful and patient. This is my first new car since my purchase of a 1998 Camry and I knew that I wanted a new Camry. I chose Star Toyota because friends and neighbors recommended them and they were absolutely right. More

This was our second time getting a car at Star Toyota. Our Salesperson Scott Morang was very friendly and extremely informative regarding the car and all accessories. This was our first time leasing and H Our Salesperson Scott Morang was very friendly and extremely informative regarding the car and all accessories. This was our first time leasing and He took a good amount of time explaining all the details. It was a very unusual experience because at no time did we feel pressured and overall it was a very positive experience. The Business Manager John Tringali was a pleasure to deal with, I usually refer to that part of the process as "the Room of Doom" but He was very helpful in filling our needs. Not only would I recommend Scott to all of our friends and acquaintances but I would highly recommend Star Toyota to anyone who is looking to buy a Toyota. More
