My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Brent has assisted me twice in purchasing my RAV4s and I would highly recommended him to friends and family looking to purchase a Toyota. He was HONEST, helpful, friendly, and expedient in helping me to purchase my vehicles well within my budget. I had really dreaded the idea of having to purchase a new vehicle and all it entails, however, Brent really eased the process and when I decided to trade in my first RAV for 2012 4x4 RAV there was no question that I would again have Brent help me. Brent (and Beaver Toyota) beat the price of the 2 local dealerships and he even delivered my car from SF to my home in Albuquerque. They really did "wow" me.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Brent Buell handled the purchase of my 2008 Kia Sedona above and beyond any car purchase I ever made. He made purchasing my mini van an easy, painless process and was so friendly and accommodating and most important honest. I found the Sedona on-line and contacted the dealer late Saturday night. Brent called me on Sunday which surprised me as most dealers are closed on Sunday. He happened to be working that Sunday and took the time to respond to my inquiry. I was very interested in the vehicle and Brent said he would try and get back to me that day to view the vehicle. He called me back as promised and told me that he had been busy and would not be able to see me that day, and asked would tomorrow be ok. I am disabled and would be hard for me to get to the dealer as I did not have a vehicle to use, so Brent brought the vehicle to me to see! Brent let me test drive the Sedona. It was exactly as described on the net and even better than what I expected. I decided I wanted to buy it. I had a special issue, Brent made a phone call, received an ok and brought me to the dealership to complete the purchase. Within 2 hours I drove away with my mini-van. Jack Jason, Business Manager handling credit was wonderful in handling my needs and questions with financing. We are both from the NYC area and I felt a connection with him and much at ease. He was excellent in taking care of my financing details and he too made the process a pleasure. I feel he went above and beyond in customer service.

In my opinion, Brent Buell was truly a great salesperson and showed genuine interest in my situation and made it possible to get me into the vehicle I wanted. I wanted a mini-van so that I can convert it with a ramp for my power wheelchair, and he made it possible. Jack Jason smoothed out the purchase. In all my car purchases over the years, this was the best experience I have ever had and I am very happy I went to Beaver Toyota for my business. I recommend them highly, as well as Brent Buell and Jack Jason.

Further to the purchase, I have received a phone call from Beaver if I was satisfied. I also had a question about the van conversion which Brent answered me on. I also had an issue that I wanted to have checked out and Brent followed thru and helped me with.

Definitely, visit this dealership in your purchase of a used or new car. Great customer service and sales and staff with the customer's best interest in mind.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Had been looking for a new pickup for a while. Narrowed the search down between a Tundra and an F-150. Price was a big concern, but reliability was also a major factor. Had seen a new 2012 Tundra that fit the bill on the Beaver Toyota web site and the advertised price was interesting, but too high. I'm not usually one to do this, but n a whim I clicked the 'Get your WOW price' just to see what they would come back with. I got an e-mail price quote and a phone call from Brent in what seemed like just a matter of minutes. Turns out Brent was off sick that day but still gave me a call. I told Brent he would have to make my drive north through Albuquerque, past another Toyota dealer, worth my while and he said he would. On Saturday my wife and I headed north, and stopped at the ABQ Toyota dealer to check out a slightly used 2011 Tundra. They tried hard to sell us the 2011, but just couldn't come up with the price we wanted. So we proceeded up to Beaver Toyota and met Brent. He had the Tundra we were interested in sitting right outside his office, ready for an inspection and test drive. After a test drive we went in to talk price. They came up with a price, we countered and they accepted. Next thing we know we were in doing the final paperwork with Jack in Finance. Jack couldn't have been nicer, making sure we understood everything that was happening every step of the way. Now we have a brand new 2012 Tundra (Grade) in our driveway, for less than the ABQ dealer wanted for a 2011 SR5 model. I would definitely recommend Beaver Toyota and Brent to anyone. They had the model we wanted at the price we were willing to pay. No extras that we didn't want to pay for.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
I had found the new yaris I wanted but Brent told me the payments and then I looked again and found the 2 used ones to choose from. I contacted Brent again and he got right back with me and we talked about them. I made an appt. and met with Brent earlier than he expected and he promptly let me do a test drive and then back to fill out paperwork, value the trade, etc. They gave me an excellent price for the trade and the car. Again, promptly worked out the details, took me over to Jack who was extremely nice and explained everything thoroughly and we were done!
We were in and out so quickly that we had time to leisurly drive to Chimayo, have lunch and back to Taos by 4pm, AMAZING!
I would recommend Beaver Toyota to anyone!

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
I've purchased Toyota pick-ups five times, until now all in California. My experience at Beaver Toyota was, by far, the best and most satisfying from my initial contact with my salesman Brent Buell and our work together, his boss, Kirk Kapple, and the business manager Jack Jason. My initial contact with Brent was through the net from California. From the beginning he was prompt returning e-mails and calls, and most importantly, knowledgeable about Toyota trucks, as a former owner as well as the truck specialist. Kirk's willingness to deal fairly, and his assessment of my Tacoma trade-in was fair and quick. Financing, which was through my credit union was made much easier than expected by Jack Jason.

My salesman, Brent Buell, besides knowledge and affability, I feel that I have a new friend, and someone who will be responsive throughout my ownership of my Tacoma. The staff at Beaver were smart, honest, timely, and affable. The price quote was fair based on my research with Edmunds, Kelly, and the Black Book, and the trade-in was as expected. Now that I've moved to New Mexico, I will always seek out Beaver Toyota for any Toyota purchase.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Beaver Toyota was awesome, we live in Albuquerque and they brought the car down to us from Santa Fe. The price was competitive and the service is amazing! My wife hit a wall less than 24 hours of buying the car and Brent (our salesman) convinced the service department to sell us a new bumper under cost and to do the labor for free. Buying a car is the worst thing I have had to do as an adult, Beaver made it better.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Just completed the purchase of a brand new 2011 Tacoma with Brent, was a great experience. No pressure, no games, fair trade in value and great "out the door" price. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and compared to past buying experiences this one was really rather pleasant. Contact Brent in Direct Sales if you want someone easy to work with.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
I bought a Tundra. This is my first Toyota. I went to Ford, GMC, Chevy and Toyota Dealers in Santa Fe. Maria convinced to test drive the Tacoma and then the Tundra. After i drove the Tundra, i was convinced. It drove better and was more comfortable that the other dealer vehicles i drove. Maria was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Her professionalism sold me on the Toyota. Maria and Brent made the vehicle purchase a nice experience.

My Review of Beaver Toyota:
Brent was courteous, listened, made sure he understood us before offering other insights or suggestions. Although he is a new car salesperson his sense of people was excellent.

Mr. Hickey, the finance guy, was a hoot, enjoyed his energy and extensive knowledge.
