Just a few glitches trying to get a price but all in all not a bad experience.the hard working salesman was probably busy with other customers so if they get another 2005-2012 Jeep or a liberty V6 I'll be waiting

Dishonest about rust existing on a vehicle that I emailed them about. I drove for an hour and a half to get there, only to find very obvious rust on a white vehicle.

I could not test drive the car because the brakes felt like the pedal would go down to the floor, I declined a test drive. Also, the convertible top would not open. I guess the car dealership sets a price with no wiggle room, you either pay the asking price or no purchase.

called the dealer about this car & they responded. I set up a test drive the next day. The car was all ready to drive & all cleaned & ready to go Loved the car & made an offer or 2 or 3 & they accepted & I drove it home 4/18/20. SO GLAD car gurus had this car listed or I would not have known about it. I have been looking for a lower mileage camry hybrid for almost 2 years & wasn't going to settle for anything less. Dealer was friendly and very nice to work with.

Wilson Toyota was great to deal with! Responding quickly to questions, and very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely return for future purchases. I highly recommend.

Super responsive and straightforward - Brady was great; unfortunately Wilson was advertising an incoming 2020 vehicle that had already been sold in effort to sell remaining 2019 TRD Pro inventory. Seems to be a very common tactic with ALL Toyota dealers advertising via internet, not just this one.

Didn’t acknowledge I had appointment. Salesman wasn’t even there. Looked at three vehicles. Vans weren’t even cleaned up. 3rd vehicle in shop - trashed out inside; outside total mess. On top of that offered me 2500 For my trade. Dealership a joke. Told sales manger I was as insulted . Received 6,000. In trade at another dealer. Never go there again.

The dealer responded quickly, & even though the kids car in question was already sold, they worked to try to find us another vehicle. But we found one closer to home.

I didnt find them very helpful when I asked about pricing of the vehicle. I spoke with Danny and as I was trying to explain that I had been looking at similar vehicles with different prices, he cut me off and said "well you should go look at them". I rarely buy vehicles. It would be nice if it said 9999.00 firm or we are no haggle pricing so a person doesnt have to go there.

I dealt with salesman Glen. It was the smoothest car sale I have ever gone through. Glen gave me the best deal I could have ever asked for. I would recommend everyone to talk to him about a car. Didn't pressure just a very good guy. I left the happiest I could be. I got the truck I was looking for and they told me about the guy that traded it in. It was like new inside, They gave me a good price on my trade in I want to thank Glen again.

Car listing was too good to be true and gone but an offer to help was given. "Nice people" I will see what help happens before I think they are "really nice people."

the maximum discount is $300 off from market price, so calculate it before you go there. they will not fix anything for you. check everything again before you paid.
