Star Toyota of Bayside

I bought a used 2008 Rav4 from Star and I am very satisfied with the dealership and especially John Bosco.

The dealership has a friendly low pressure environment that allows the buyer to test, think and evaluate the deal before he/she can make the purchase. John Bosco really cared about what you wanted and showed you the right cars. He was also an honest, no pressure guy who really cared what you wanted. All questions were answered honestly and they gave us a Toyota certified car that runs amazing well. John also got an excellent deal on the vehicle.I think this is one of the best car buying experiences I have had. 5 stars to John Bosco and Star Toyota!! More

We have negotiated price through e-mails, and reached the agreement. When I got there, the car had been already sold. It could be happen, but it is apparently sold during our negotiation. So she knew the agreement. When I got there, the car had been already sold. It could be happen, but it is apparently sold during our negotiation. So she knew the car I wanted had gone and gave me fake attractive price to trap in. Then, when I went to dealer even she didn't come to me, no apologize, and just sent another colleague to try to sell a different car. The dealer is not clean at all. I traveled around the world, but if you take account the amount of money you will commit, this place gave me so far the worst shopping experience in my life. More

I am happy with the sales team and the finance team. They presented themselves professionally. I would like to acknowledge the fact that the finance team worked to get 0% APR for us with an average credit sc presented themselves professionally. I would like to acknowledge the fact that the finance team worked to get 0% APR for us with an average credit score but the price of the car is on the higher side. Still, I would recommend them for an exceptional service. More

I purchase a Toyota Sienna 11 years ago from Star Toyota, It still works well, over 200,000 Plus. I thought it was time to buy a new one, I spoke to Ron Cordero who demonstrated all the new features and impr It still works well, over 200,000 Plus. I thought it was time to buy a new one, I spoke to Ron Cordero who demonstrated all the new features and improvements,we drove the car and we were very impressed, no pressure to buy, very welcoming great sales person. We liked this dealership so much, we purchased another Sienna XLE. on Tues. When we came back to work out financal details, Tom Dun invited us into his office, he spent hours with us, giving us the greated rate. Tom I would rate the highest, He knows his cars inside and out,and all the added features, he was in the consumer's corner,we told him what we wanted and gave us the best bang for your buck, not trying to sell us up, but giving us the insurence and protection at very low prices. He is the guy you want to talk to when you buy a new car. He made us feel like family. Rich Proomzo was the General Manager,he asked us if we needed anything else and was overseeing everything, and we could see why Star toyota is a #1 Toyota Dealer. I seached for price and the best deals. I found it at Stay Toyota in Bayside More

My parents visited this dealership on Thursday, July 21, 2011, because I checked it out online and spoke with Sean Hoque and it appeared that they had a large selection of used cars at good prices. They bo 2011, because I checked it out online and spoke with Sean Hoque and it appeared that they had a large selection of used cars at good prices. They bought a 2009 Camry, and ended up being charged $1295 as a "bank fee" for their loan of $19,981.18. On Saturday, July 23, I spoke with Ray Berrios, who had put together their deal, to ask a number of questions; he did not answer all my questions because he hung up on me before I finished speaking with him. Later that day, Scott from Star Toyota called and said that he wanted to make everything right and would take off the bank fee. On Monday, my father went into Star Toyota and Scott took off the charge, as promised. I and my parents appreciated his cooperation in this matter, and that is why I have given Star Toyota an overall rating of 3. However, I want to warn other customers to be careful about the bank fee if you go here; my parents have good credit and it was unclear why they were being charged a fee of $1295 (entirely separate from the interest they would have to pay) to get a loan of only about $20,000.

I was able to get the best price from among a dozen+ dealers in the tri-state area, immediately from Scott without haggling. He went over every detail and cost of the lease numbers accurately with me o dealers in the tri-state area, immediately from Scott without haggling. He went over every detail and cost of the lease numbers accurately with me over the phone. There were no games, and I literally was driving out the same day after about 30min on the phone, a few emails and less than an hour at the dealership. As many people can attest, there is more than just getting a price agreement via email or phone. Its being able to get your car and drive out without hours and hours at the dealership, pressure to upsell, or price changes when you show up. Their F+I guy was super friendly and didn't try to get me to buy tire protection or any other usual F+I add-on's. If you know the car you want, and you want the best price- give them a call. If you want cappuccino's and leather couches- perhaps you can try another dealership or just go to Starbucks after you go here. More

Beware of the service department. They will not help you. I was told I need service package D because I had over 27K miles. Their package D is for vehicles with 30K miles and costs $535.90. After 10 minutes I was told I need service package D because I had over 27K miles. Their package D is for vehicles with 30K miles and costs $535.90. After 10 minutes in waiting room, I realized I had only 24K! I should have been given package B. Package B is for 25K miles and costs $192.90. I went back and told service tech. John A. He said he would take care of it and make the correction. I thought correction was to give me package B. This would have saved me $343. Finally got car back 1 1/2 hour after promised time. Went to pay and was charged the more expensive package D. Went back to John to question why. He didn’t even want look at the bill. His answer was confusing and rude. He had earlier said he would make a correction. He only correction the milage they had on record. Not the service request and not the bill! It was like changing our phone number in their system. My husband and I were still confused and were looking at the paperwork for any other things they could have charged us for and John A. keep saying “Okay! Good-bye. Have a nice day”. We stood there trying to figure out our budget, he says again “Okay! Good-bye. Have a nice day”. Then went back to joking with his co-workers. We paid the $824 (we also got the state inspection, battery change and rear wiper change. Should have been only $481. That was the last time I will ever go back there. A few days later I filled out the on-line survey they asked me to fill-out. I gave them a bad review. I doubt they will ever respond. Star Toyota Of Bayside’s service, uncaring and dishonest. More
