My Review of Gale Toyota:
If you're a woman [well, if you're anyone, really], don't go here alone. It's not that you'll feel uncomfortable, it's just that you'll not be given a price as low as it should be, as they have this belief that you'll either wait for &quot;your man&quot;, or that you simply don't know anything about any other dealership.<br><br>For whatever reason, there is a haughty feeling there, thinking that you're being mean and nasty if you perhaps want to buy a car at a lower price [and on virtually every vehicle from every person I've talked to, used the internet on, Lynch always has a lower price. So, unless you have a specific reason such as knowing someone there, there's very little rationale for going there instead of Lynch. It may not be a lot cheaper there, but it will always be cheaper.<br><br><br>But, the big thing is the way they do financing. They incessantly refuse to tell you what your payments are until you give them money. Very shady. They will constantly compare the purchase of the car to the purchase of anything else [house, TV, Swimming Pool, or whatever helps them at the time], without acknowledging that you are buying a car.<br><br>They also seem very upset if you want a car the way you want it and don't just take what they have. It's a very odd visit. It's not often I have bought a car in my trips around the sun where the sales people do everything in their power to not get something your way.<br><br>But as I said, the big thing is the shady practice of not telling you what the payments are before you give them money. (and when they do, they bring the finance person out to the middle of the showroom with you, so you're around everyone else. It's very awkward and somewhat embarrassing, and it's clear they do it on purpose because you feel awkward asking all sorts of finance questions with other people right next to you.<br><br><br>I would not recommend this place. There really is no point in it, anyway, as you won't find the lowest price there, and the service doesn't make up for it.<br><br>I used to buy cars here, but the service has changed so much, it's simply no longer worth it.<br>

My Review of Gale Toyota:
I had bought several new cars from another dealer in the past, but when I went to purchase my next one there I fond things had changed<br>and it wasn't as friendly as it had been in the past. A co-worker had recently purchased a Highlander (which is what I bought and recommended that I go see Steve at Gale Toyota in Enfield. What a breath of fresh air!!! Not only did he know what he was talking about as far as the features I wanted, but there was NO pressure to buy today and the typical car sales stuff you hear about or experience. They located my Highlander I wanted ( no charge) equipped as I wanted and at the price agreed on. I have since recommended them to at least five people and all have bought there. They now have a customer for life.
