Avoid DCH Freehold Toyota at All Costs – A Nightmare
Avoid DCH Freehold Toyota at All Costs – A Nightmare First Car Buying Experience I rarely leave reviews, but my recent experience at DCH Freehold Toyota was so appalling that I felt compelled to share it. This was my first car purchase in the U.S., and the team at this dealership made sure it was the worst experience of my life. If you're reading this and considering buying a vehicle here – please, look elsewhere. They should seriously consider rebranding from DCH to DCU – Delivering Customer Unhappiness. 1. Finance Team Harassment – Especially "Tommy Tu" I have never encountered someone as unprofessional and disrespectful as Tommy Tu from the finance department. From the start, he was rude, dismissive, and acted like he was doing us a favor. He tried to pressure and scare us into signing up for overpriced and unnecessary add-ons, including warranty packages and subscriptions we clearly declined. When we resisted, he deliberately delayed the process by two extra hours, claiming he needed additional down payment proof – even though all paperwork was complete. To make things worse, he ran multiple hard credit inquiries without consent, sabotaging my credit score and ensuring I received a higher APR. His behavior towards my wife was equally disrespectful and uncalled for. This man should not be allowed anywhere near customer-facing roles. 2. Sales Team Lies and Broken Promises Jessica from the sales team made a verbal promise of two free oil changes as part of the deal. However, on the day of vehicle delivery, she flat-out denied ever making that offer – essentially lying to our faces. If your sales process depends on misleading customers to close deals, that says everything about your integrity as a dealership. 3. Hidden Charges Despite Signed Agreement After signing the purchase order and finalizing the payment, we were suddenly asked to pay an additional $100 for DMV title and registration – a cost that was already clearly included in the purchase order. This last-minute upcharge was deceitful and completely unjustified, I had to literally escalate it to get it waived off. In Summary If you value honesty, transparency, and respectful service, DCH Freehold Toyota is not the place for you. Their tactics are dishonest, their staff unprofessional, and their approach to customer service is nothing short of predatory. I regret purchasing my 2025 RAV4 from them and urge others to learn from my mistake.

Aakash, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with us did not meet your expectations, particularly as this was your first vehicle purchase in the U.S. Regarding the finance process, we take customer consent and credit privacy very seriously. The sale of any finance or warranty product is entirely optional and customers are free to decline them, delays in paperwork are never used as pressure tactics. As for the verbal agreement on oil changes and any confusion around DMV fees, we encourage all customers to ensure that every agreed-upon term is reflected in writing at the time of signing. If something was promised but not honored, that is not the experience we aim to deliver, and we would like to investigate further. We understand your frustration and regret that you walked away feeling misled. Please reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss this matter further. Thank you.

I purchased a new Toyota two days ago at DCH Toyota of Freehold and was extremely satisfied with my experience. My salesperson, Bruno was very pleasant and knowledgeable. My experience with him was more than satisfactory. I was then directed to the loan department and greeted by Tommy Tu. He was equally pleasant and knowledgeable. He made the experience relatively painless. I have purchased many new vehicles and have never experienced the customer service that I received at DCH. I will be a returning customer.

Recently my previous car was declared a total loss, so I
Recently my previous car was declared a total loss, so I was in need of something to get around. I wanted to go back to Toyota since I feel confident in their products. A friend of mine suggested to go to DCH Freehold and ask for Ian-Michael, and I can not say how appreciative I am of everything. Ian was professional, friendly, understanding, and extremely helpful. He knew what I was looking for, and he did not try to upsell me anything that I did not need. Everyone else at the dealer was also wonderful to chat with, including Tommy who handled the finance, and Evan behind the desk. I hope I don’t need to do this again for good amount of time, but these are the people I will choose to deal with!!!
