Monte Sanford was a tremendous help to me by explaining

Monte Sanford was a tremendous help to me by explaining and demonstrating how to unlock the "kiddie lock" feature on the rear passenger doors of my 2018 Toyota Corolla. I was ready to drop the car off for "Early Bird" service and be without my vehicle for several days...he came out and showed me how to solve the problem and I was back on the road in 15 minutes!! That is great teamwork between sales and service! Thank you Monte!!!

The interaction with the manager, Shlomo, during our car

The interaction with the manager, Shlomo, during our car purchase was not as positive as we had hoped. Despite being close to finalizing the deal, there was a sudden change in negotiation terms when he joined the discussion.

If l could give a lower rating l would.

If l could give a lower rating l would. It took a day and a half to diagnose a problem after l told them what the issue was at drop off. They gave a $3400 estimate to replace the torque converter. This issue should fall under the life time drive train warranty. They submitted the claim and a week later and still haven’t heard a peep from the service department. Took the truck home and changed the transmission fluid which by the way they claim is life time transmission fluid. Fixed the problem for 70 bucks. Definitely won’t be purchasing anymore vehicles from first team just based on the service department.

Outstanding service!

Outstanding service! David Reese provided the best service I have ever experienced. I would consider him as a valuable asset for First Team Toyota. He truly knows how to treat a customer so they will want to keep coming back.

The dealership was good and helped me get into my car.

The dealership was good and helped me get into my car. What I do not care for is the FORCED services when you try to use the free oil change for life program! It is ridiculous to pay a minimum of $55 to have a cabin air filter changed in a car. The filter may cost at most $20 and take all of 5 minutes on the outside to install! Does that mean the techs are making $420/hour? Very much taking advantage of what could be a good thing and keep customer loyalty.

We don't know what Toyota Service Advisor Russ Pena is

We don't know what Toyota Service Advisor Russ Pena is taking. But we do know what he's psyched up with! He's surrounded by motivational signs hanging everywhere, like "First Team Forever" or "FIRST TEAM FOREVER: You First," and he takes YOU First very seriously. How do we know? Many examples, but here's one: We had gotten our headlights cleaned before by reputable companies, even two car wash companies, but nothing worked. Replacing the headlight assembly, another option, would have been so expensive. Russ said he had to see our car before he could decide if he could help us. I warned him our car was very old. Nothing would deter Russ. He rushed out the door so fast, no time to put on his jacket, to check out our car. He said he thought his technicians could improve the headlights. He was eager to help us! Fast forward: We were actually shown a video about how they'd worked their magic. The headlights looked like new, and we didn't have to mortgage our house to pay for them. Russ and his team have changed auto service, love, and care forever. Russ Pena and his Toyota team are the real deal. They really, enthusiastically CARE.

First Team Toyota is the only Toyota dealership near me

First Team Toyota is the only Toyota dealership near me or I would never ever use them. Since this last visit for a simple oil, I now have a 5 or 6 inch oil spot on my driveway and a skid plate covered in oil. They are the worst !!!

Worst experience ever bought my truck there and have been treated like garbage ever since the service sucks from the time you pull in the garage til the time you leave.
