I have purchased 3 vehicles from John Spensieri in the last year and each time he is very helpful and knows what he is talking about even when it comes to cars that are not Toyotas. Recently, I purchased last year and each time he is very helpful and knows what he is talking about even when it comes to cars that are not Toyotas. Recently, I purchased my 2021 Highlander XSE from him and he found the perfect highlander for my needs on the first try. He always makes each experience quick and painless and makes sure I understand all the functions in my vehicle. Thank you Checkered Flag Toyota & John for all the wonderful work you guys do. I will buy more in the future! More

My faith in humanity restored Just finished my second purchase from Checkered Flag Toyota. I am officially a life long customer. I have always doubted car sales tactics and the s Just finished my second purchase from Checkered Flag Toyota. I am officially a life long customer. I have always doubted car sales tactics and the stigma of "the sleazy guy in a plaid jacket" raking me over the coals. My experience with the team, and my favorite product specialist Michael Alfier, have lifted my hopes in humanity. No xx. If you are interested in just starting your search, let Mike do the homework for you. Professional, sincere, and fun to work with!! Probably going to call him to go crack a cold one. That good!! More

Very Welcoming and Professional Atmosphere Very friendly and professional atmosphere that was not geared around just closing a sale. Was able to work with just my representative Robert Cameron( Very friendly and professional atmosphere that was not geared around just closing a sale. Was able to work with just my representative Robert Cameron(instead of multiple representatives like traditional car sales) who was very friendly and personable! I moved from out of town with just my company vehicle and Robert picked me up from my home instead of me paying for transportation to the dealership! I would highly recommend both Robert and Checkered Flag Toyota to anybody in market for a new vehicle! More

Buyer Beware Back In January I purchased a used 2011 GMC Sierra 2500hd from the checkered flag Toyota. They advertised the truck online as “100% rust free”. That q Back In January I purchased a used 2011 GMC Sierra 2500hd from the checkered flag Toyota. They advertised the truck online as “100% rust free”. That quote right there was the whole reason I was interested in this vehicle. I went to check it out and the truck “looked” clean. They had sprayed it with a black under liner coating to hide all the rust this truck truly has. No after a few months of ownership it’s all coming out. Door frames are rusting all hardware under the truck is ready to fall apart. I was completely lied to. I’m updating my post so others no to stay away from this dealer. I have reached out to them many times with other issues that the truck had had and have hadn’t no luck getting anything resolved nor been contacted back. Do not purchase any used vehicles from them!

A Relaxing Experience I dealt with John Spensieri, who did an excellent job. The experience was different for me than I expected. I came prepared to do a lengthy haggling I dealt with John Spensieri, who did an excellent job. The experience was different for me than I expected. I came prepared to do a lengthy haggling battle. I got there and found that prices were more like at my grocery store: fair but fixed, take it at that price or go elsewhere. The car was actually at a good price, and probably the best I could have gotten even after haggling elsewhere, so I went ahead with the purchase. Mr. Spensieri was excellent at making sure all the details of the deal were in good order. I appreciated working with someone who was so straightforward and competent. More
