Tansky Sawmill Toyota

My wife and I were both in the market for new cars. As we drove around we found that Tansky was the only dealership that was still open. We were promptly (not rudely) greeted by Jordan who asked if we had an drove around we found that Tansky was the only dealership that was still open. We were promptly (not rudely) greeted by Jordan who asked if we had any questions or just wanted to look around. As we talked with Jordan about what we were looking for, he took us around the lot pointing out cars that we might like. He answered all our questions honestly and when we took a few test drives he went with us. As we all got into the first car he stated, "Pretend that I'm not here, but ask questions if you have them." He did just as he said. After a little polite conversation he sat quietly in the back and let my wife and I discuss the good and the bad of the car that we were riding in. He never interrupted, argued or defended the car we were in. When we were done he asked what we liked and didn't like about the car we had driven. Each car we drove, three in all, he was patient, quiet and respectful of my wife and I. When we had found the car that we wanted Jordan brought us into the offices to start the paperwork. It was at this time that we were introduced to Kyle the manager. Kyle was very helpful in making sure that my wife could afford the car and that her payments fit the budget that she had set. Kyle gave financing options to us and stayed within the payments that my wife said that she could afford. There was never any push to purchase something that she could not afford. Kyle remained respectful throughout the entire process. There was never any pushing or rushing through the entire car buying process. I went back the next day to purchase a truck for myself and specifically asked for Jordan and Kyle to help me. I was treated with as much respect and patience as my wife was shown the night before. Given that we didn't leave the dealership until after 10pm (which is an hour after they close) and I was there bright and early the next day, I was expecting a little grogginess or shortness with the sales staff, but I can happily say that all I got was a good honest welcome back and lots of good help. I would highly recommend working with the people from Tansky. More

I requested price quotes on Corolla, Elantra, Civic, and Sentra from almost all Columbus area dealers over the net, and decided to get a Corolla for low price and reliability. Tansky's was the first to set Sentra from almost all Columbus area dealers over the net, and decided to get a Corolla for low price and reliability. Tansky's was the first to set me a time for visit, and committed to match the quote I got from Germain. Well, there of course was some at the spot haggling still to be done but they eventually did match the price promised, and I was very satisfied with everything. Well, that was before the finance guy kept pushing me to buy this and that for extra for tons of money, and eventually made me swallow the GAP insurance whereas I could have gotten it for so much cheaper from my insurance company. When I picked up the vehicle, everything seemed fine until I checked toyotaownersonline.com and realized that they did not perform the stuck accelerator recall service. So in 2-weeks time, I was back at the dealership, although the service was no hassle. Just out of curiosity, I checked a few other in-stock vehicle VINs randomly and realized that Tansky's simply do not perform the recall on in-stock vehicles!!! Are they nuts? The bottom line is - 1. I recommend Tansky's for the price. Check price first, and they will negotiate as long as you stick to your gun. 2. Do not buy absolutely *anything* extra from the finance department (the guy who does your paperworks). It's all rip-offs. 3. Before taking delivery of the vehicle, check toyotaownersonline.com to make sure that your car doesn't have an open recall. Make them perform the recall before pick-up, if needed. More

Warren Mead was our salesman and was awesome. No pressure or b.s., just an awesome price on an awesome vehicle. Took delivery on our 2011 sienna xle on 9/17/10. Warren stayed after close for an ho pressure or b.s., just an awesome price on an awesome vehicle. Took delivery on our 2011 sienna xle on 9/17/10. Warren stayed after close for an hour explaining all the bells and whistles to my wife and I. Their entire staff was not what I had grown accustomed to at other dealers. Warren and the folks at Tansky were kind, courteous, and able to give me one heck of a deal. Give him a call (614-766-4800) or email him at warren.mead@tansky.com) More

Greeted promptly by someone who looks like he just got fired from his job at Chic Filet. Didn't get too far into the Camry I wanted to look at because I actually knew more about the car than he did, espec fired from his job at Chic Filet. Didn't get too far into the Camry I wanted to look at because I actually knew more about the car than he did, especially when he mistaked the Corolla for a camry. He handed me a card but I dropped it on the lot later, WoW ! Way better luck at Direct ! More

I ordered a 2010 Prius from Tansky in May after looking over and pricing it at the Toyota web site. The Tansky Internet salesman, Ron Ball took my deposit of $500 and estimated delivery in 4 to 8 weeks. Wh over and pricing it at the Toyota web site. The Tansky Internet salesman, Ron Ball took my deposit of $500 and estimated delivery in 4 to 8 weeks. When asked the price, he wrote the MSRP throwing in free floor mats, I was given no contract but the Toyota web site gave me a printout of an itemized list ending with the MSRP. When I had heard nothing by the end of July, I called and there was no news of expected delivery and no specific information of progress with the order. They tried to get me to take my deposit back or except another car. I wanted the car I ordered. I said I would wait. After five months from the order date, Ron Ball called and said my Prius was in. I went that day to finalize the deal. I went over the figures with Ron Ball and they did not match the printout I had gotten from Toyota. The main difference was the price for the options had gone up from $3600 to $3830. I argued that I ought to have the price that Toyota sent me when I ordered the car five months earlier. They agreed to that. However I was surprised to learn that they wanted to charge me $250 for a docking fee above what was indicated from Toyota. The printout I had from Toyota listed "Delivery, Processing, & Handling Fee = $750" I complained that not disclosing this additional $250 was an unfair practice. I felt I had been patient and dealt with them fairly and I had been given no indication of what I considered a surprise charge in light of $750 figure that Toyota listed. Jon Ball, the sales manager stepped in an argued with me that all the dealerships do this. I didn't doubt that, but he couldn't understand that I would have liked to have had some knowledge of this ahead of time. I wanted to agree to disagree, pay their price and leave with the car I had ordered and waited five months for. I thought Ron and I were closing the deal when he took my drivers license, had me sign papers, and verify my insurance. It was then that Bob McGlone, the general sales manager came over and wanted to resume the disagreement over the $250. After he heard my viewpoint he said I'm not going to sell you the car and you have nothing, (meaning a contract). I told them I wasn't refusing to pay their docking fee, but I didn't like the way it was sprung on me. I was flabbergasted that he refused to sell me the car based on my not agreeing with their policies. When I called to ask for my deposit back I told Mr. McGlone that I suspected they just wanted to sell the car to someone for more money, he said, " No, I just don't want to sell it to you." From my experience with both the manufacturer and the dealer, it seems there is no accountability and little congruity between the two and incredible arrogance on the part of Tansky sales personnel.

Toyotas are great. Tansky sucks! But just to be fair, they did have the best price for my car. That's why they have "good" for price. I requested a quote through Toyota.com, and they were the last to they did have the best price for my car. That's why they have "good" for price. I requested a quote through Toyota.com, and they were the last to send me the quote. That's after Toyota asked me if I received the requested quote and I answered that I didn't. Buying a brand new Toyota could have been from anywhere. I asked quotes from everyone and asked everyone to compete. Tansky won. Bought it from them. The first time I walked into Tansky to look at a car but wasn't ready to buy, the salesman treated me like horribly. On the day of the purchase, the sales rep was alright. It was a different rep. The paper work is misleading. I guess they are used to people not reading anything and just signing with the excitement of the car purchase. They basically asked you to give up your right to privacy. They state that they would sell my information unless I request another form, fill it and request them not to sell my info. BE VERY CAREFUL ON THIS POINT. And of course, they unnecessarily runs my credit. I specifically told them that I wanted to apply for Toyota Financing, but they had to run their own credit check without telling me. Not that I mind, but I just HATE the fact that they would just lie to me and think that they would get away with it. If they had told me truthfully, it would have been okay. The paperwork guy was something else too. Imagine a guy who's full of himself and is trying to sell you something with very little interest in you or your purchase. But at the end of the transaction, they did mention over and over again that they would like to have the best review on the Toyota Survey. And they sent me a letter for that too. They know next to nothing about accessories for your car. So, don't even bother. They will recommend you to another horrid place, Columbus Car Audio and Accessories, to get accessories. To sum it up. I love my Toyota. Tansky had the best price this time around. If the price was the same, I'd buy from some place else. There were a few nice reps from Buyers and Germain. Fast forward a few months: I had my first oil change at Tansky yesterday. I was in line just like everyone else. (I am Asian, btw.) A non-ethnic lady came in after me. The service desk person chooses to help the non-ethnic lady. At that point, one of his colleagues point out the fact that I was in line and I was there first. The service desk person glanced at me, ignored me and continued to help the non-ethnic lady. Obviously, I was not happy about the situation. I calmly walked to the reception area to ask for someone to speak to. There was apparently no other managers other than the sales manager. Understandably, he didn't care much. It wasn't his department. So, I talked to the reception lady again. She said someone would call me. This morning, I received a call from Kyle the service manager, who was very nice. He understood the situation and said that he would talk to his service team and that his GM would be calling me. I was very please with how Kyle handled it. About half an hour later, I received a call from Bob the GM. I was expecting a generic apology and yada yada yada. But that was not the case. Instead of that, he did a few things: 1. he accused me of racism for identifying the other lady as a different race 2. defended his racist employee 3. started questioning my color (how rude) 4. pointed out the fact I didn't give them a 100% on the Toyota review because they ran unauthorized credit checks when I was about to buy my car At that point, I told Bob that we should stop this call and never call me again, politely. And he said that he doesn't want me at his dealership anymore. O Bob, why would I come back? How silly of you! More

This was NOT a very good experience, but in the end was a blessing in disguise. I went in with my daughter intent on purchasing a new 2008 Scion for cash-no financing. The saleswoman was OK, but the sales ma blessing in disguise. I went in with my daughter intent on purchasing a new 2008 Scion for cash-no financing. The saleswoman was OK, but the sales manager soured the deal. After I turned down the first offer (Full MSRP and 1/2 Kelley Blue Book trade-in value for my daughter's car) the sales manager came over to speak to us by himself. He spoke down to me, "patiently explaining" why this was such a good deal: their car was so wonderful-they couldn't possibly take less than the sticker, and my daughter's trade-in was little more than a piece of junk-they were doing us a favor by taking it off our hands. We left and went to Roby Mitsubishi. (My daughter had really wanted an Eclipse, but we thought it was out of our price range.) To be brief, Roby's salesman and sales manager treated us with courtesy and respect. They gave us an unbelievable deal! We drove away with the car of her dreams (an Eclipse with a higher sticker price) for $2000 less than Tansky's final offer for the Scion. We are so grateful to Tansky's. Had they made us a reasonable offer, we would have written the check for a car my daughter had secretly settled for instead of the car she really wanted. More

Negotiated a lease, put a deposit down on the car, waited three weeks for delivery, went in to pick up car, only to be told that the initial paperwork had been lost, and that the best they could offer was $1 three weeks for delivery, went in to pick up car, only to be told that the initial paperwork had been lost, and that the best they could offer was $130 a month MORE than the previously negotiated offer.

I gave this dealer a ver bad rating. they deserve it. Was offered $3000 for a car selling privately for 9-10k. Salesman was nice and friendly,( THE ONLY REASON THEY GOT A 2). The finance manager insulted me offered $3000 for a car selling privately for 9-10k. Salesman was nice and friendly,( THE ONLY REASON THEY GOT A 2). The finance manager insulted me horribly. Was there to trade a car for a brand new one. When I did not accept their offer She stood up and I was told a new car was not right for me. She threw the sales guy a list of Used cars and told him to show me the USED inventory, and walked off as if I was a waste of time. UGGGH! Well I bought the same new car I was (NOT RIGHT FOR), at another dealer near there , and got a fair trade value. I recommend going anywhere but Tansky. I was treated like a stupid kid who was wasting their time. I even have established credit through Toyota! The bad thing is I think the sales guy knew I was being treated unfairly and understood when I refused to look at their Used cars. He is a good sales guy working under the wrong bosses. More

BAD experience with service center at TANSKY TOYOTA DUBLIN OH The used vehicle I bought from TANSKY TOYOTA gave me starting trouble just 24 days after the purchase from TANSKY TOYOTA Sawmill Road Du DUBLIN OH The used vehicle I bought from TANSKY TOYOTA gave me starting trouble just 24 days after the purchase from TANSKY TOYOTA Sawmill Road Dublin. I had to tow it to their TANSKY TOYOTA Service Center to get it fixed. The quality of service can be good, at the cost of a lot of money. TANSKY TOYOTA SERVICE CENER at Dublin has a way of squeezing your money out. THIIS IS PRIMARILY DONE BY SOME SERVICE REPRASENTATIVES IN CALCULATIION OF HOURS OF LABOR. My vehicle was brought in for service before noon and I got a call from my service personal before 4 pm, informing that it is ready for pick up. My out pocket expenses was over $ 900. They billed over $ 550 for labor alone. During our telephone conversation the representative happened to mention that it was done by AN experienced technician. Two hours labor claimed was just for cleaning some oil spill. More
