Joel Confer Toyota

Found a beautiful vehicle that I was in LOVE with. They wanted 5K more than blue book and the national association of dealers. I gave them both the KBB value and told them what my bank had said. They refused to come down on the vehicle at all. NOW WHY would I want to pay $5,000 more than what the dang car is worth? That's rediculous and I will never take my business there again NOR would I EVER recommend them!

This is one HORRIBLE dealer service department. I never experienced the problems like I have here. The attitude of the service department is HORRIBLE. THEY MISDIAGNOSE a problem charge you for it and have the nerve to tell you it's something else. STAY AWAY I have to wonder what Toyota thinks about one of their dealerships?

This started off strong- knowledgeable sales/support staff and a great car- but after I bought it; the relationship turned sour. When I raised a legitimate issue, the salesman was dismissive and argumentative. It’s a shame, too, because they had claimed to place emphasis on building relationships.

Horrible man at the service desk not on one occasion but a few.

As much as I love my 2006 Toyota Camry LE, I dislike the Toyota Camry dealer in my town (State College Pa). On Thursday of last week the alternator of my car began giving problem. So I visited Confer Toyota in State College and asked them for a quote to replace the alternator. I was told that it would cost me around $550. I felt that amount was high so I drove to NAPA dealer and bought the alternator which only cost me $150. I then drove to Monroe Tires in State College Pa and got the alternator installed for $125. After returning the faulty alternator, NAPA returned me $40 from the $150 they had charged me for the new alternator. So It cost me total of $235 dollars to replace the alternator. By not going to Confer Toyota dealer I saved $300 . Once again I was convinced that not going to dealership for repairs is a wise thing to do.

It is rare for us to enjoy buying used cars from dealerships. Major exception was in May 2014 when we bought a used Toyota From Confer Toyota's Michael King. We actually had fun and are grateful that Mike was so pleasant to work with.

I received a response from Joel Confer re: a Toyota 4runner 3013 limited I was shopping for to see how they competed with other responses I received. The salesperson emailed asking if I was comparing the same vehicle. We purchased a more expensive model of the same vehicle they had for less money at Faulkner in Harrisburg. I gave them a chance but was completely turned off by the response I received from the person who wanted to list all his fraternity credentials with his contact information. I ended up not visiting the showroom even though it was 30 miles from my home and made 2 separate trips to other dealers, one 2 hours 15 minutes and the eventual one we purchased from 1 hour 45 minutes. This dealer needs to take some lessons in customer service and respect unless they really don't need to sell vehicles.
