$14,000 quote to fix a 13 year old car.

$14,000 quote to fix a 13 year old car. Totally unreasonable. Will never go back. Manager didn't return calls and saw no problem with such an outrageous quote. Are they just trying to sell new cars and plush people to new cars instead of fixing their cars? .

Donald, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're happy to hear it went well and hope you enjoy your new vehicle. We truly appreciate your feedback! Best Regards, Ron Anderko, General Manager RAnderko@lithia.com

Great Car Buying Experience!

We were interested in a 2013 Highlander and went in to look at it on Memorial Day. We were very happy to see it pulled up before we even got there by our sales person Elvis. He was very professional and courteous to my family! Anando the Sales Manager worked with Elvis and us and made the negotiation part of the deal very easy and left us feeling pleased to do business with them! Anando and Elvis are great guys and we would definitely buy another vehicle from them!
