Avondale Toyota

New found respect for a car dealership that has a heart I had no intentions on buying a Toyota. I had already made up my mind to get my 3rd Ford in 23 years...the Escape. I knew I need to Lease and I had I had no intentions on buying a Toyota. I had already made up my mind to get my 3rd Ford in 23 years...the Escape. I knew I need to Lease and I had a budget in mind. I was on the I-10 when "something" made me get off the freeway at this AWESOME dealership just to look at a RAV4 for comparison. Got in the lot and gave my usual nice but firm disclaimer. "I'm JUST looking and NOT buying TODAY! I wasn't planning to get a new car until September (needed time to save up more for the downpayment). Then I was honored with the presence of Scott McEwen who introduced me to a totally foreign concept for most car buyers, the "One person, One Price" motto. They have a leasing program unlike any other dealership, which was the selling ing for me to do business with them. After test drving the RAV, we entered the showroom to talk numbers, when this b e a u t i f u l showroom Camry LE won my heart. Scott and I sat down to talk number and I was able to compare the priceing to purchase or lease on the 2 cars. I saw every number he put in and took out. He never had to go "behind the curtian to see the the wizard of $$ " or left me wondering if he had gone to lunch, keeping you waiting and wondering "what's taking so long" ( AKA the breaking you down tactic) that I had experience in prior purchases. Soctt warned me their dealership would be totally unlike how traditional dealerships operate and it WAS!!!! I did not have to deal with another manager, I never told him my budget and he never asked ANYTHING about my current 13 year old Focus. Whatever I needed to understand, he explained simply or showed me. As a women, I never felt like I was being taken for an "easy sale" advantage. Well to say the least I did leave without a car. I had to go home and due my due dillengence on the dealership and the car and work the numbers into my budget. BUT I do go back on Memorial day and made the exchange, knowing in my hearts of hearts that I had done good! This experience saved 1/2 of the amount I thought I needed to have at signing. I was given Kelly Blue Book for my trade in AND with the rebate ( I thought rebates were only handed out when you purchase a vechicle) I only went over my budget by $10. I dare you to go Avondale Toyota for you next new or used vehicle first ...it's worth the drive to gain total assurance and a painless adventure. There are truly more benefits in dealing with Avondale Toyota beyond the initial relationship that builds from the time you walk through their doors. This truly was a blessing that was meant for me to experience...and it was a car dealership...who would have thunk it!!!! Scott will take as good care of you as if you were his family member. Great guy, man of faith and intrigity and knowledgeable about their products "Driving Miss Celeste" now with much respect for a car dealership that has a heart More

Best car buying experience ever! Hands down the best car buying experience I ever had. I've owned many cars and have always hated the experience of spending countless hours of going b Hands down the best car buying experience I ever had. I've owned many cars and have always hated the experience of spending countless hours of going back and forth with finance or have a shady salesmen, which totally takes the enjoyment of owning a vehicle. My sales guy; Kimi Stewert (Stew) was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable about every vehicle I looked at, he didn't try to sell me a vehicle that was out of my price range, the best part there was no 'hassle' when talking about the purchase price. He was upfront, fair and tried to give me the best deal that he could offer. When it came down to doing the paperwork, the process was painless. I didn't have to wait for the fiance department. Stew did everything right there from his desk, the whole process took about 3 hours (that's including me test driving the cars). By the time I finished the paperwork, he had my car polished and clean with a full tank of gas waiting for me. Rather than just shaking my hand and handing me the keys. He spent time helping me setup my blue tooth, walked me through the awesome features that my car had to offer (I purchased a 2015 Camry) and even made sure that I had his contact information programed in my phone just in case I had questions later on. Overall, I would highly recommend Avondale Toyota Scion and will definitely continue to go back to them with my next car purchase. As far as my sales guy, I wish there were more like him out there. Thank you for making this such a great experience for me. You have a loyal customer for life! More

I wish all car dealerships were run this way. Car ownership, for me, is more or less a "necessary evil." I gotta have a car to get around, but I am not a fan of going through the process of buying Car ownership, for me, is more or less a "necessary evil." I gotta have a car to get around, but I am not a fan of going through the process of buying one, and I loathe the maintenance aspect of car ownership. That is why I am eternally grateful that Avondale Toyota exists. Not only is it in my hometown, just 10 minutes away, but it is a Toyota dealership and I'm a loyal Toyota guy. I feel very lucky. So far I have bought two cars here, sold three, serviced four, and with our most recent purchase yesterday we are on our fifth car (so far) that we will be bringing here and nowhere else. Both sales and service have always treated us right. Obviously nothing is perfect, but when we have not been happy they have done what they reasonably could be expected to do to make it right. They're fair, reasonable, and honest. Not only do I recommend this dealership, I couldn't recommend any others unless they get on board with how this dealership is run. The "old way" is for the birds. I really don't understand why this is not considered THE model for car dealerships nationwide. More

The Highlanders seem to sell as quickly as they arrive at the dealers, so when we were finally ready to purchase, Terry Pickle was able to get the perfect model from another dealer for us. This is our second Toyota purchased from Avondale Toyota because we love the one price, no hassle experience. We also love the fact that Avondale Toyota doesn't put extra add-ons on their vehicles, and doesn't tack on extra charges for "in-demand" vehicles. Our experience with Terry Pickle and Avondale Toyota was very pleasant, fun, and was done quickly! We will definitely recommend Terry Pickle and Avondale Toyota to our family and friends!
