Used cars for sale in Gardendale, AL

I just want to update my review. We have now purchased 2 cars from Serra Toyota and we always get treated like we are their family or friends. Our new vehicle is a 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE. I want to give a big thank you to Michael Shinkle. He has always went the extra mile for us. He deserves to be one of the most top rated salesman that you can ask for. He is truly a good person. We couldn’t have done it without him. A thank you also goes to Johnny Watwood, the Managers and the whole entire staff at Serra Toyota. From sales to service. If you are in market for a new/used vehicle, go see everyone at Serra Toyota. Tell everyone and Michael Shinkle that Cynthia Williams and Jesse Williams sent you. If I could give this dealership 20,000 stars I would. Just great people to work with!

Pros: Best looking, best handling in class and fun to drive. Stunning looks & style for a SUV, well laid out & comfortable sporty cockpit (F Type copy), good driver visibility, brilliant performance technology, great features, smooth quick-shifting nine-speed transmission, quite nimble, precise steering, super stable braking, great cornering & windy conditions stability, excellent surround camera system, brilliant adaptive cruise control, unbelievable self parking, very good sound system, good interior fit and finish, and great storage capability considering vehicle size. Cons: Little expensive, feathery overly sensitive accelerator pedal (spurts), washed out touchscreen display, windshield blocks radio frequencies, and a few other minor issues listed under, ?Details of Issues?. Overall: A vehicle well suited to city driving and equally at home in the country; but not my first choice for long distance trips (full-size SUV time). The vehicle is best suited to a family of four or less (children and smaller bodies in the rear). The 21 inch wheels provide a great ride in ?Comfort? & ?Dynamic? modes, better than the smaller offerings. Brakes are excellent and feel stable under hard braking. Has ?ECO? mode to improve fuel consumption. 6 -different models and a plethora of options to suit most needs. Has all the latest safety features and collision avoidance. Top model could do with a more powerful motor. It is miles better than the competition. 5 out of 5 if it wasn?t for the touchscreen display washout and the feathery throttle pedal. Bottom Line: If you want the best looking, best handling compact SUV in the world, your search stops here. Details of Issues (nothing major) Expensive Has better performance technology than the competition which costs a little more; but even so, still seems a bit pricey. Windshield Blocks Radio Frequencies The windshield is metalized resulting in the blocking of radio frequencies. There is a small clear patch to place your Toll Tag. So the range of wireless devices will be reduced (up to 95%), including; door and gate openers, phones, RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and medical alert. Feather Light and Overly Sensitive Throttle Pedal Almost no foot feel and too sensitive. A bumpy road, a sharp corner or just acceleration forces can cause unwanted acceleration spurts (jerking). Also, you have to hold your foot up all the time when just cruising. It feels unnatural and a little uncomfortable. Thank goodness for the excellent adaptive cruise control. Touchscreen Washout The touchscreen difficult to see in bright daylight and is barely visible in bright sunny conditions. The problem is that the display sits angled almost flat well ahead of the roofline and there is no sunshade, so the sun shines right on it. Accentuated by no high contrast color scheme option, just ?Light? (light pastel) or ?Dark?. It?s fine at night or on dreary days. Windshield Reduces Night Vision The windshield is metalized to block UV rays which it does well. It also cuts down visible light reducing normal vision just like sunglasses or regular window tint does. The problem is that it also reduces vision at night too when you need maximum clarity. Road Noise Road (tire) noise is noticeable and could benefit from improved floor and wheel arch insulation. Automatic Relocking & Arming Only the dealership can turn it on or off. I can see the reason for automatic locking and arming in high crime areas. In the country, the automatic system is annoying and inconvenient. There should be an easy way to turn the feature on and off. Door Locked Condition Indicator No visible external indicator that the doors are locked (except the folding door mirrors). In a noisy bright light situation, it?s difficult to see (light flash) or hear the doors lock. Automatic Power Fold Door Mirrors Useful option, but it can only be turned on and off by the dealership? Keyless Door Locking Keyless locking is overly complicated and imprecise (Unlocking is great). The manual goes into detail not to grab the door handle while touching the lock sensor. In reality, it is only necessary to be lightly touching the handle for the sensor not to work; or if your finger touches a little outside of the sensor area. One could turn on the auto locking full time, but that causes other irritating convenience issues. Restricted Driver?s Foot Well No good place to put your left foot if you have long legs. Wheel well intrudes into this space. I guess people with long legs shouldn?t drive compact SUVs on long trips. Reflections from Bright Shiny Bezels Reflection in driver?s side mirror from bright shiny driver?s side air vent bezel. Can be a distraction. Reflections from bright shiny bezels (air vents and display) on front windshield. Driver?s Maximum Seat Height The front dash and side windows sills are quite high. I found that with the seat all the way up, I still felt like I was sitting a bit too low (1 inch).

Our salesman Sime was awesome, very professional and made the whole buying process fast and easy! Will be coming back and look forward on buying more cars from him.

I’m so happy with this truck best truck ever better then other truck I’m going to drive till the end I recommend it to anyone

Cox Motor cars are grade A! They are extremely honest, knowledgeable and very accommodating. It was a pleasure to deal with them.Philip and Stuart do a great job.

I am so satisfied with this car! !I LOVE IT. there are so many extras and it rides so smooth im going to enjoy this car for a long long time

Vince Webb is amazing he got me what I wanted, this was my second time working with him. It want be my last no matter how much I talk and say I won’t come back lol he definitely came through with this deal.

I own a 2021 Corolla Hybrid. I am 56 years old. This is the most perfect car I have ever driven. Everything from my 64 miles per gallon, to the tightness of the car, to the reliability, to the audio system, and to the price of it. It is the car to buy. I have read reviews by a well known magazine saying it lacks rear headroom and that because of that, it gets lower ratings. But the rear headroom is fine and is such a small thing compared to the important things. This car is a great car.

This dealership is VERY picky with the quality of vehicles they bring into inventory. All the cars I've observed on their Birmingham lot are in pristine condition! I had been looking for a fairly rare model (Accord 2.0T 6-speed). All the ones I had looked at prior to finding this place were in questionable condition to say the least. The one I found at Birmingham Luxury Motors was nearly pristine!

Excellent car for commute. Too expensive new. Should work out in the long run. Very fast and very comfy. Ergonomic and different than all my other cars.

I’ve bought a lot of cars but this by far was the best experience I’ve had Greg Nims is one of the most honest salesman I’ve ever met.. I told him what I was looking for and he made sure I had a nice reliable vehicle I will definitely be back if I have to purchase another vehicle…

I just got a 2021 L model and being the most basic trim level I am very surprised how smooth and comfortable it is to drive it. I have had the 1997 & 2017 models before and I clearly notice they have improved its maneuverability, suspension is awesome compared to the previous years, comfortable seats and good control location.

Great buying experience! Everyone was so nice and made buying a new vehicle a very pleasant experience. Our salesman, Troy Powers, went above and beyond and was wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend Edwards Chevrolet Downtown to anyone looking for a Chevrolet!

Having owned a2013 Ford Edge for six years I was impressed with the overall comfort and performance. We purchased 2020 Edge Titanium in 2020 and love the car with one exception, the case bucks and jerks at low speeds.

All in all was a very pleasant experience and Nick was amazing-made everything easy!!

Owned an 06 with 160000 miles on it no problems no rust great vehicle this one is even smoother with more options and more comfortable

Robert was exceptional, and Olgen was a pleasure to deal with.

I have owned it for 4000 miles and so far I love it the mileage is 20.1 MPG highway and 18 MPG town. It is very comfortable and drives great.

Very thankful and receptive for our inquiry for purchasing a vehicle The sales rep Went above and beyond The call of duty to effectuate the sale I would definitely use them in the future

A sharp SUV for the money, not just for transporting but good long trips. Gas a bit below par..but overall it is very good! Enjoy the ride.

Had a great experience shopping for a used car. They have a great variety of new and used cars. I would definitely recommend this dealership to friends.

I am satisfied with this car and I enjoy it. There were a few things that I would have liked to have and I could have but I did not want to wait. It was the exact color and model that I had envisioned so I decided to take it as it was with the economy being in the situation that it is in.

Great Experience -- Everyone is VERY professional and I will definitely recommend to others. You should visit if you are in the market for buying a new or used car.

Love the luxury look with the light price tag. Smooth driving with plenty of room for my family of 5. Very happy with it so far.

Nolan and David were great to work with I would recommend this staff to anyone! If you’re in the market for a vehicle come see these guys at Hendrick!

This car has everything we need and more. 4x4, looks, performance, can be towed behind an RV. Includes sun roof, rear camera, safety braking, more. Rides great.

If not for the fact this MDX is over 11-years old (though less than 40,000 miles on it) you would believe it was new. Stumbled into a great bargain for a quality vehicle!

I have come here for several vehicles and service. Great staff and know I can trust them. I will continue to shop here for all future vehicles.

We travel alot with 5 adults plus all the luggage. This vehicle is super comfortable, dependable and easy to use. Perfect for our long trips to Arizona! It’s a daily driver for my wife and she loves it. She drives everywhere in Southern California ! Loves it.

They made everything so easy. Got the car I never knew I wanted and I love it. Don't plan on taking it in any time soon but I know where I'll be going when I do.

Very comfortable and reliable. It is a very functional vehicle. Very pleased with it. I would buy again without question. Has all the necessary electronic features.

Ginger was so great! Joe, the sales manager, was very helpful too. Go see them NOW! I found their selection very good. Highly recommend Driver Way on 280.

Nice styling,interior has a new design dash which is beautiful and convenient,safety features and cameras are great and easy to used and the active cruise is awesome.

I am first time car buyer and was a little nervous about the whole process. MARSHALL GLENN, the salesman who I worked with, was fabulous. I was about to sign the papers on one car and then I saw my dream car and changed my mind. Marshall didn’t blink an eye and we worked out a great deal on the dream car. I am very pleased with everyone there and I love my car! Thank you Marshall for everything. I will definitely recommend you and Driver’s Way to my friends.

We purchased our 2021 new March 2021 and have loved this vehicle! We previously had a 2009 Yukon XL and loved that one too but it was rusting and we wanted a new one. It has good get up and is a smooth ride. We have had nothing go wrong with it and have done several long trips. There is a ton of room and we love how big the trunk area is, even with all of the room in the cabin. Only downside, is gas efficiency. But you don't buy a Yukon to be gas efficient. We like how big the engine is and we can tow anything we need.

Mike Wahl was very helpful and professional. No pressure and no haggle pricing with a great selection. I will definitely look here first for any new vehicles in the future.

This is my 4th Lexus 460 GX. It seems smaller and there no point using the 3rd row no leg room. What I don't like especially is that you can view everything in your cargo area between the Captain seats. There's no cargo or tonneau cover to hide the cargo. I bought a piece of carpet to hide what could be seen and it continues to fall down.

That was my first time dealing with Donohoo. The experience was stress free. Went up and test drove one day, the next day which was purchase day, I was in and out on less than a hour.  I do plan to do business with Donohoo in the future. Jonathon and Marci were absolutely amazing!!

Love the new design, the overall size is much bigger which is a bonus! I was considering a Suburban originally. Great new dash, sunroof is huge!
