My Review of Jon Lancaster Toyota & Scion :
We started our search for a new Toyota ( V6Rav 4) via the internet quote process. Shawn Stittleburg was one of the people who responded and he worked hard for our business. The internet can be impersonal but Shawn worked with us on our needs via RFQ, email, and phone. Over time, it was clear that he was focused on our needs vs. trying to sell us something. We arranged an agreement via distance methods due to the positive relationship established. He is a good communicator, persistent, knowledgable and respectful. He provided good honest suggestions along the way and many of his suggestions were related to conversations with my wife early in the process; these suggestions were not financially beneficial from the sales side, but better met our true needs. He also balanced working with two people throughout the process. I started the process via the internet but was then gone on business. The middle stage was working with my wife where they found a vehicle and price in which they agreed. Then my wife was gone on travel and I ended up finalizing the deal and picking up the vehicle. Throughout the process Shawn effectively worked with both of us and again was very understanding of the changes along the way. Personally, I really appreciated how respectfully he worked with my wife during the process - that is not common in the industry.
When I went to pick up the vehicle, Shawn was simply a very nice guy. He was positive, customer focused, detail-oriented, respectful to my college age daughter, and interested in ensuring we were fully satisfied. He was honestly disappointed that he couldn't meet both my wife and I since he had worked with both of us in the process. The dealership is 2.5 hrs. from our home, but we hope to stop by sometime so that both of us can thank him again.
I also had an excellent experience with Matt Schnell, who handled the financial side of the transaction. He was also very customer focused, efficient, knowledgable and pleasant.
If you are looking for a Toyota vehicle in the upper Midwest, I would recommend you get in touch with Shawn at Jon Lancaster Toyota in Madison, WI. He will work hard to meet your needs, provide excellent service, and a very fair price. The entire dealership is run very professionally and is a great buying experience.
