My Review of Ackerman Toyota:
I went to Toyota Ackerman to do a diagnostic test on my 2001 Corolla, since the engine light came on. 15 minutes later the guy comes back to me and says I need a new catalytic converter and that the part and labor would cost around: $1,450. My jaw dropped, I said no and I walked out dazed. The engine light was off when I pulled it out of Ackerman, though I thought they just cleared the code for the catalytic converter and that it still needed to be replaced. I called around and after finding a price of $289 for part and labor at Comb's Auto I took it in. I told them what had happened and after they did an emissions test they told me that the catalytic converter was completely fine.

The guy at Ackerman told me I may experience some poor performance and engine trouble if I let the catty go. I did experience some poor performance though this was in no way related to the catalytic converter as they implied. The only thing that may be needed is a few new injectors.

Moral: Toyota Ackerman tried to rip me off

My Review of Ackerman Toyota:
I had an excellent experience at Ackerman Toyota. I got a great price when I went throught the internet and didn't have to haggle to get it. All of my emails were answered quickly, even the ones I sent late at night. My salesperson was upfront and very friendly. I can't say enough good things about my experience.

My Review of Ackerman Toyota:
Although he pays a lot of local media guys to do ads for him, don't believe the hype. Instead, shop around, you'll get a better deal. I sent them e-mail asking them to beat an existing quote and was told that the quote was impossible to beat (i.e. I must be making it up) - it wasn't impossible to beat, as some other local dealers (note the plural) subsequently beat the quote by over $100. Seems to be the usual St. Louis "city core" attitude, don't expect any reasonable pricing from them ...
