Comments: To the staff of L.A. Auto Star; I would like to apologize for not getting back in touch with you about the 2004 Nissan Truck you had for sale. It was the truck I really wanted, but buy the time I talked my to wife about coming down it had sold. All the information I ask for about the truck you staff supplied. Marina was a great sales person and I"m sorry I did not get back her sooner. In my humble opinion, the people at L.A. Auto Star were very courteous and respectful, something you very rarely find at most auto dealerships today. I would highly recommend your dealership to anyone who is looking for that perfect auto and a friendly, courteous atmosphere. Again, I would like to thank all the staff at L.A. Auto Star, for your professionalism and all that you have done for my wife an I. Respectfully Yours; Garry M.
2013 Toyota Prius Two Review
Best quality hybrid car I have owned!

This is a great car! It is always reliable, easy to drive, park, plenty of leg room and lots of storage space for traveling. One of the best things about this car is the fantastic gas mileage!
We were looking for a car for our teenage daughter. I emailed 1Stop Auto through the carfax.com website. The owner Scott called me and spoke with me. After talking a bit I told him I was also looking at a car in NC which he also looked up and said that's a great deal, even better than mine, you should look at it. I don't know many car dealers, especially owners, that would say that! We decided to go see the one he had on the lot and decided to buy from him and save the 7 hour round trip. Not only was it easy to agree on a price but he also took his time and walked my daughter through the paperwork, explaining it in detail as I signed. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you Scott!!
2011 Toyota Prius II Review
Great car

The car exceeded all my expectations. Great for everyday use and long distance drives. Saves money on gas and very convenient to drive in a big city due to the compact size
This is our second Prius and we absolutely love it. Gas mileage is excellent, though actually better on the city than on the highway because city driving gives the hybrid more opportunities to switch to battery power. It's very quiet, and spacious enough to hold 4 people and their luggage for a long road trip, which we have done countless times without incident. My husband and teenagers are rather tall, and they are all comfortable enough in the car, though I think they might like a little more leg room in the back seat if the person in front has the seat all the way back. The keyless entry and keyless start are very convenient, as long as you have the key fob with you, just grab the handle and the car door will unlock. If the key fob is inside the car, the car will start with the push of a button - you don't even need to get them out of your bag or your pocket. The car won't stay locked if you leave the key fob inside or leave the engine running, so it's nearly impossible to lock your keys in your car.
We bought our last Prius used with about 60,000 miles on it and by 150,000 miles the only repairs we had were replacing the standard battery (not the more expensive hybrid battery), the blower motor for the cabin air, new tires, and occasionally replacing some light bulbs.
The only reason we replaced it was because it was totaled in an accident. The only downside to this car in my opinion is the low clearance sometimes makes it a challenge to drive in very deep snow. However, even with the low clearance I've only gotten stuck in the snow once.
Chris (Service Rep) was very professional; knowledgeable; and very courteous with me. He did a superlative job representing your dealership. I had left another Toyota dealership after 10+ years with them because our experiences at Pearson's is simply exceptional. We bought our 2015 Camry at your business and plan to do all of our future service and car buying with you. We have been Toyota owners for > 10 years.

The car is very roomy inside and comfy. Loving the heads up display. Exterior is great. Nice smooth ride.
AWESOME safety features!
Just need to take some time to figure all of the bells and whistles out
I've owned cars since the 70's. I've toured VW, Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Ford, Carmax and Toyota Dealerships, been to car shows, used car lots, junk yards - have kept a Chevy S-10 alive for 22 years - rented cars for the last 9 years of its life and in 2013 hunted for a used car. In short, I've been around and know what I like. I've had good and bad experiences.
My visit to Checker Flag Toyota dealership was by far the best experience to date. Carmax was the lowest key, low stress, but not as friendly. Jaclyn has been my next door neighbor since last year. This was my first professional interaction with her and she was super. Easy to make an appointment, flexible when I arrived late, I was asked by almost all the staff that saw me waiting if I needed assistance.
I got a full tour of all the options - new and certified pre-owned - sales and lease options. We drove a certified pre-owned Highlander XLE, 2015 model with lots of extras, some regrettably unique to that model year. I learned all about what made that SUV special, what makes Toyota great, what makes Checkerflag Toyota best of all. I gained a new respect for my neighbor too.
The only things that kept me from buying the car right then were my personal circumstances and the ridiculously low value of my Chevy Colorado - I've lot $10k in 4 years after I bought it used. (lesson here - buy a Toyota if you want a car to hold value - painful lesson learned).
I know my next car with be a Toyota and my only dealership will be Checker Flag in Norfolk. How's that for a productive day? Thanks Jaclyn for giving me a great introduction!!!

Love, love, love my Prius. My last one I had for 12 years and it ran great. Unfortunately I started having front headlight problems which caused me angst. I figured it was time to buy a new one so rather than dealing with this older technology, I bought a brand new Prius. And I have been very pleased with it. Sure, I had to get used to some of the quirks but who reads the manual start to finish anyway?
Lou and Jessica were fantastic!! They made purchasing a vehicle very easy and were more helpful than any dealership I have ever bought from. I will recommend them to all of my friends and family. Thank you Guys !!
2015 Toyota Prius Three Review
2015 Toyota Prius an eco-friendly tradition

A Toyota Prius is a unique driving experience. Once you have owned one (and we have owned a 2007 and 2011 Prius), you prefer the quiet hum of the electric motor and the fantastic gas mileage. Make sure you accurately adjust your mirrors and allow for not being able to see the end of the front end, and you will avoid denting your car and hitting other cars due to Prius blind spots. Our 2015 Prius III is surprising similar to our 2007 Prius. Our 2011 Prius IV was a loaded delight (heated leather seats, sunroof, navigation, and multi-CD changer) that we were unable to find unless we moved to a Prius V (which is in a bigger class by itself and may not suit quiet hum Prius lovers).
I was referred by a friend to Randy Earles at checkered flag. I was in a tight spot and needed a car on a Sunday. Randy went above and beyond to make sure that happened. He came in early on a Sunday and searched tirelessly to find the vehicle best suited for me. This was as if I had gone to a close friend to buy a car rather than a salesman. I’d refer any and everybody to this location so you can have the same experience.

This car exceeded my expectations, especially regarding interior room. It has been a perfect and efficient family car (family of 4 on two week car trips multiple times).
Looking for used car, set up appointment on-line. Was unable to do test drive based on used vehicle . Looking forward to next step in the process

Car of The Future

I bought this car used with high miles - over 100,000. So far I've had little trouble and it has been a great value. The Touring trim has all the bells and whistles: heated leather seats, GPS, self-dimming rear view mirror, backup camera and more. I'm still learning it all. Toyota has nailed it with this one. Given its age, it was a car way ahead of its time and I can only look forward to the newer models. There are a lot of youtube videos explaining how to use it or disable features you are not fond of. I have not driven in snow yet, so not able to comment on the traction control. It's been great for around town driving in the northeast/atlantic area.
I am in the military, and did not know where to go to buy my new Honda. So I got online and looked at reviews. I saw that Marlin motors had excellent reviews for service and customer care !!! I was greeted with friendliness and honesty. I bought a 2004 Honda accord EX four $4999 Out the door with a 90 day warranty .I had a great experience and I highly recommend marlin motors

Easy to care, easy to drive, I don’t have to look for my keys to lock and unlock and turn the ignition on. Which up to now I am so spoiled of it.
As an out-of-state buyer, I was met at the airport, and thoroughly shown the car. I took a test drive with their mechanic (my choice) and went on rough roads and did a panic stop, etc. Everyone was friendly, but more important, they were straightforward and honest. By that I mean there was no attempt to embellish or make up things about the car. The car and the Carfax spoke for themselves! The actual transaction was smooth and to the point. No funny business or surprises. I drove the car some 600 miles home and it worked flawlessly. I am extremely pleased with the car and the entire buying process.

Vroom - Buy a Car Without Leaving the House Review
Vroom has a very streamlined process

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Best Car Ever!

So smooth, it's as if it glides, not drives, as it travels down the road. It has plenty of head room too, I'm tall so I really appreciate it and it's unexpected in this size car.
Great car, low cost of ownership, all you really need. Good ride, well made, easy to maintain.
Love the braking gear, power mode and comfortable to drive.
Had to take a friend to get his first car. Called Floyd and he verified the car was still on the lot. From there, he did an outstanding job of assisting with financing, explaining warranty options, and getting us in and out the door, with no worries. I usually am wary of smaller used car dealers, but they did a great job today.

Reliable and great in snow

It has really good fuel economy and it handles surprisingly well in the snow. It is a great car for commuting. The back seat is large. The car seat for the little one was easy to get in and there is still room for two people. The trunk space is great too.
The car was great on gas. It was comfortable to drive and fit well in parking spaces. Overall, this type of car is generally a good buy. A great commuter car. Toyota's tend to last longer and be less expensive to fix too. When buying this year, you may want to check to see how old the battery is. They can be expensive to fix, but there are shops that fix the battery for a lot less than buying a new one.
Professional, Patient, Friendly worth your time to visit!!!

My wife and I went in to look at a car for her. We were originally going in to see a different gentleman we knew by name. He was already working with a couple but didn't want us to have to wait so he asked Garrett to help us out. We were a little nervous and skeptical at first, but Garrett more than earned our respect, our business, and our appreciation. We put that guy through the wringer. He must have let us drive 5 or 6 different vehicles, answered hundreds of questions peppered at him from two overly-stressed people, and forced him to endure my extremely dry sense of humor along with my annoyed wife. (Annoyed at my humor not at Garrett) In addition he stayed until 11pm with us, just to ensure we got everything we wanted and the deal when through with no problems. I gotta say, this guy is awesome. He was patient, he double checked his facts when he didn't know an answer, and he was the deciding factor that kept us from buying two cars somewhere else. He wasn't at all pushy, in fact he was understanding and patient. He truly made this experience great for us. I got a 2017 Tacoma, and the wife got a 2017 Rav-4. Garrett and Checkered Flag, Job Well Done!!! THANK YOU!!!

Takes car ownership to new levels. Besides the obvious high mileage, it takes the stress out of traffic driving as the car remains silent. Reliability is amazing. Power is better than most people realize, for the electric assist accelerates quickly off the line.

This car gets great gas mileage and surprising roomy in front and back. Has usb charging as well as a audio input in the console.
Drawback is noisy on the road and increases as speed increases.
