I wanted to leave a review on Fredie Santos from our purchase on Sunday, May 2, 2021. Fredie listened carefully to what we were looking for and was spot on in meeting our desire for a new 2021 Toyota Highlander. Thanks Fredie for listening and providing wonderful service. I will highly recommend you to others.

Review

I was very disappointed in my experience there. I was greeted immediately but after asking to speak with the salesman, I was completely ignored. I was given no update or status of how long he might be. I watched him end his time with another customer and assumed the front desk would advise him I was waiting for him. They did not. Granted, I could have reminded them I was there but I was the only customer waiting. I went over and stood by the desk thinking they could not see me where I was waiting. That did not prompt the 5 people gathered around the front to ask again how they could help. Again, I could have spoken up but I thought if this is the service I receive when I want to buy a car, what would it be like to deal with them after a purchase? So I left.

Great Experience

We purchased a new car with the assistance of Fredie Santos. This is our second purchase and the second time we worked with Fredie. It was a great experience!

Keisha was awesome and very informative. I'm disappointed with checkered flag because I spent $300 to get my battery terminals cleaned to have to spend $650 to replace my battery and alternator a week later. Now there's something else wrong with my car and y'all are charging me another $671 just to identify the problem. I bought my car from this dealership and get all maintenance work completed here and you can't offer any benefits to long time, faithful customers

I have purchased 3 vehicles from John Spensieri in the last year and each time he is very helpful and knows what he is talking about even when it comes to cars that are not Toyotas. Recently, I purchased my 2021 Highlander XSE from him and he found the perfect highlander for my needs on the first try. He always makes each experience quick and painless and makes sure I understand all the functions in my vehicle. Thank you Checkered Flag Toyota & John for all the wonderful work you guys do. I will buy more in the future!

Sales associate Fredie Santos was extremely patient as I forgot to bring a check. We test drove to my house to get one. Then he later delivered my new truck to my house. Outstanding experience
