I had an absolutely exceptional experience with
I had an absolutely exceptional experience with AutoNation Toyota, and I cannot recommend them enough! Purchasing a vehicle can often feel stressful, but this team made the entire process seamless, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. David Butkovich, my salesperson, was phenomenal from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and never once made me feel pressured. David took the time to truly listen to what I was looking for, answered every question thoroughly, and ensured I felt confident throughout the entire process. His professionalism and friendly approach made a huge difference in what can sometimes be an overwhelming decision. Rajh in finance was equally impressive. He made what is typically the most frustrating part of buying a vehicle feel simple and straightforward. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and made sure I was comfortable with every step before moving forward. His transparency and expertise gave me complete peace of mind. After recently dealing with the stress of losing my previous vehicle, the care, compassion, and top-tier customer service I received from this team meant more than I can express. Driving away in my Jeep Gladiator was an exciting moment, and it was made even better knowing I had such a supportive team behind the purchase. If you?re looking for a dealership that values integrity, professionalism, and truly outstanding customer service, AutoNation Toyota is the place to go. Thank you to David, Rajh, and the entire team for making this one of the best car-buying experiences I?ve ever had!
Outstanding Fuel Mileage... and that's it.
First things first, this car cost under $20k new so keep that in mind as I write the pros and cons. For starters, this car gets excellent fuel mileage. 50 MPG! That is, if you don't drive like a maniac and frequently stop. On the highway you're looking at maybe 43 mpg on average. This is also a very reliable car, I've owned mine for five years and only ever done oil changes and she keeps running. This car is also very small, which is either a pro or con depending on the person you talk to. It's great for city driving, but not so much rural or even urban. The Prius c is also PAINFULLY slow. I'm pretty sure an 80s civic could beat this thing in first gear, that's how slow it is. However, because this car is so small and weighs just under 2500 lbs, it turns exceptionally well in the corners. Then there is that dreaded cvt whine that you'll be hearing time and time again if you ever want to go faster than 30 mph. The interior of the car is also very bland and filled with a LOT of plastic. Virtually everything you can touch inside the car is made of plastic, excluding the seats of course. The inside space is also very tight for anyone taller than 5'10". The seats are somewhat comfortable and are very durable but at the same time are prone to stains. What really is disappointing is the fact that there is a ton of road noise in this car. Once you pass the 35 mph threshold the only thing you'll be hearing is wind noise. So much so that even listening to music in the car becomes problematic. All in all this is a fantastic car... If you live in the city or any other small district where parking is scarce and the streets are narrow. You can make do with all the faults of this car for the sake of the mpg, but personally I don't think it outweighs the cons. I've had this car for five years now and while it has never failed me I would not keep this vehicle around for much longer. That's not to say that it's a ticking time bomb, it's just not the car for me anymore.

Had the pleasure of working with David Munoz on buying my dream truck. David listened to my specific wants in a vehicle and delivered on the selection. Everyone I came in contact with at the dealership was extremely friendly. I will and have recommended this dealership to friends.
the most reliable car I've owned
I spent little on this car, but it served me until it was sold. I like the fast acceleration at 80 mils. Consumes little fuel in the city. Even obscenely little. I was pleased with this car.

My wife and I took our daughter over to purchase a car. It was great experience working with Jim. We will be back.
Reliable and Best Value for Hybrid
Awesome city car. Fits in tight spots and gets great gas mileage. Holds its value very well and has been one of the smartest car purchases I have ever made. It might not turn heads but it reliably gets you where you need to go without burning a lot of fuel. Love this car.

First found my Toyota Sienna on cars.
First found my Toyota Sienna on cars.com and went up to take a look after confirming it was still available. Had a snag with my bank and he was very helpful with completing the purchase. Michael was very helpful throughout the process and went the extra miles for acquiring the van I needed. Thank you Michael!

I contacted JNM online and received an quick response
I contacted JNM online and received an quick response followed by a phone call and a pleasant conversation. The SUV I was interested in was available and the price was semi-negotiable. We went and met Muhammad, drove the vehicle alone, negotiated a fair price, got paperwork for my bank, returned the next day and drove it home. JNM fixed a few minor problems with the vehicle overnight. The whole experience was pleasant and personal. I highly reccommend Ali and Muhammad when you go to purchase your next used vehicle, they were great!

Excellent experience buying used truck
I just purchased a 2019 Tacoma from Freeman Toyota and every person at the dealership I dealt with was helpful, friendly and patient with my many questions and concerns, especially Manny Flores. He communicated clearly by text and phone, making sure that I had all of the information I needed to decide whether it would likely be worthwhile for me to drive for an hour to the dealership. If he didn't know the answer to the question I asked, he found out and let me know as quickly as possible. He even came into the dealership on what was supposed to be his day off to help facilitate my purchase of the truck. When the truck was fully detailed the following day, he also went above and beyond to deliver the truck to me at a time and place that was most convenient for me. After more than a month of dealing with used car salesmen at other dealerships who repeatedly misrepresented the vehicles they were selling, it was so refreshing to interact with Manny and others at Freeman Toyota. They were honest, direct, and easy going. And they liked my dog and didn't complain when she took a test drive with me! We're very happy with our 2019 Tacoma and very grateful that Freeman Toyota made the experience of buying a used vehicle not only less stressful but actually enjoyable. Thanks Manny and thanks Freeman Toyota.

I went to a few dealership on Saturday with my wife looking for a car for my college bound son. We were both impressed with Arko and how kind and easy going they were. A few places we went to didn't even bother to come out and say hello. When we told Arko we weren't looking to purchase quite yet he still gave us the same attention as he did when he thought he'd maybe have a sale that day. We will for sure be back.

I had such a great experience buying my car from Ozzy’s,
I had such a great experience buying my car from Ozzy’s, and I especially want to recognize Kross for being an outstanding salesperson. From the beginning, he was patient, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process. Kross took the time to help me search for the right car, explained the best options available, and made sure everything fit my needs and my budget. What really stood out to me is that he wasn’t focused on making a quick sale -- he truly cared about helping me make the best decision. That kind of service is what makes Ozzy’s feel like family. Everyone there made it clear that the customer’s needs come first, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thank you Ozzy’s and thank you Kross for making car-buying such a smooth and positive experience. I highly recommend this place!

Rex is outstanding.
Rex is outstanding. He recently sold me a new 2025 CR-V. He was very helpful and genuinely warm and friendly. He arranged for me to drive it home to see if my handicapped husband could get in and out of it easily. It was perfect and I purchased the car. After driving it for a month, I became concerned of a possible steering issue and notified Rex. He immediately fit me in to repair and couldn't have been more accommodating. Fortunately, there was no issue after all. He installed my new plates, checked my windshield washer system, and off I went...a very satisfied and happy customer. ---Karen Gingrich, Dripping Springs
