Ball Toyota of Charleston

It's not just professional, it's personal I have purchased at least 5 cars from Bert Wolfe Toyota over the past 9 years. What keeps me coming back is the staff. I have formed a great relations I have purchased at least 5 cars from Bert Wolfe Toyota over the past 9 years. What keeps me coming back is the staff. I have formed a great relationship with a few key players on staff. Will Patterson sold me my first Scion just as they came available on the market. He is now a manager and continues to be one of my favorite guys to talk too. Since then I have had the pleasure to work with Willian McCormick. He makes buying a vehicle more of a pleasure than a headache. He gets to know his clients by listening to their needs and finding exactly what they want. The excellent client relationship continues after you purchase the vehicle. William periodically will call you, making sure your purchase was everything you expected. He encourages you to call him when you need to schedule maintanance. He takes care of all this for you! I could not imagine doing business with any other salesman or dealership. It just wouldn't make sense! More

Scion XD I came into Bert Wolfe Toyota not knowing exactly what I wanted, but had kind of an idea. I knew I wanted something small to drive. I don't do very we I came into Bert Wolfe Toyota not knowing exactly what I wanted, but had kind of an idea. I knew I wanted something small to drive. I don't do very well with big cars. William showed me several cars and I myself looked around at some of the other cars on the lot. I decided on the Scion XD that was displayed in the showroom. I fell in love with it. Now that I'm expecting my second child I'll have to look into getting something with more room in the future like a SUV, CUV. I will definitely be coming back and definitely will be asking for William. Amanda More

Great salesman, love our new vehicle! We had a fantastic experience at Bert Wolfe Toyota. Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly salesman (William Mccormick) who helped We had a fantastic experience at Bert Wolfe Toyota. Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly salesman (William Mccormick) who helped to instruct and educate us on our vehicle choices. He even had wise insight and advice based on getting to know us and our big family's needs and activities. That helped us narrow down the right vehicle and proved to be perfect for our lifestyle and driving/traveling/space and recreational requirements. The entire process was pleasant and quick and painless. No games, no haggling, no run around. We wanted straight talk and best price and that's what we got. He knew what he was talking about, knew the vehicles he was representing and was invaluable in helping us decide what vehicle to purchase. Couldn't be more pleased! Highly recommend. (Oh, another major plus is he didn't smoke or reek of cigarettes and he actually seemed genuinely interested in working and doing his best and looking the part and providing the customer with a top notch experience! We had not gotten that impression elsewhere in WV while car shopping. So kudos to his rare professionalism within the local car sales industry!) More

My check engine light came on, I went to a local parts store to see what the problem was. They indicated I needed a O2 sensor. I made an appointment at Bert Wolf. They checked my car and indicated that store to see what the problem was. They indicated I needed a O2 sensor. I made an appointment at Bert Wolf. They checked my car and indicated that I did need a O2 sensor and also indicated my car had a safety recall DOB Remedy Notice. I had to pay for the O2 sensor to be ordered and proceeded to make an appointment in two weeks to have the O2 Sensor installed and also the recall work done. When I arrived to pick up my car the Assistant Service Manager, James Birthisel, said they replaced the O2 sensor, but did not have the part to fix the recall. I questioned the service person as to why they made this appointment for two weeks to have this work done and they did not have the part. The service person indicated they could not reserve recall parts, then why do they make appointments. So I had to proceed to make another appointment in two weeks to have the recall done. They assured me they would have the parts. At this visit the service person also checked my car to determine if it had a miss, they indicated it was not missing. Before leaving the Bert Wolf lot, my husband checked under the hood. He noticed that the plastic valve cover was broken. I proceeded to inform the service person that was not broken when we brought the car in for service. He proceeded to say they did not have any reason to bother the cover and did not break it. I indicated that we had just washed the car and that my husband dusts under the hood when we wash the car and that my car had not been touched by any other persons. The next morning I proceeded to contact Bert Wolf and asked to speak to the service manager, they connected me to Mr. Parsons. I reported to him the condition of the valve cover and he indicated they would replace it. He indicated it would be replaced at the same appointment as my recall was completed. We proceeded to keep the recall appointment, two weeks later. Upon checking under the hood this time the valve cover was replaced, but it was not replaced with a new part. The valve cover they put on was filthy dirty and it was clear it was not a new part and it was installed with two types of clips instead of original clips. When we arrived home my husband proceeded to clean the dirty valve cover and while doing so noticed that a clip was missing off the plastic cowling that covers the air intake around the passenger side windshield wiper. I proceeded to call Bert Wolf again and spoke to James Birthisel, Assistant Service Manager, he indicated again that they had no reason to bother that part of my car. I told him I would be there in the morning and wanted that clip replaced. He indicated I could talk to the service manager. Upon arriving and seeing Mr. Birthisel, he immediately had another gentlemen to accompany me to my car to view the problem. I asked if he was Mr. Parsons and he reported no, that Mr. Parsons worked in another capacity had he was the service manager. Upon viewing the missing clip, he indicated that they had no reason to bother that clip and accused me of taking the clip out. I told him I would have no reason to take the clip out and accuse them of doing so. He and the service person proceeded to hunt a clip. While the service manager was attempting to locate a clip that fitt the hole, he indicated that I should not bring my car back there for service. He repeated this several times, that I was not to bring my car back there for service. The clip that they found was evidently too big, so they proceeded to take it in the oil change bay for modifications and then brought it back out and put it in the hole. My husband got out of the car to check the clip and when he pulled on the plastic piece to clip came out. He proceeded in the service area and the service manager and mechanic came back out and hunted up another clip, which seemed to fix the problem. The whole time the service manager and mechanic were attempting to find a clip to fix this problem he was rude and accusing me of creating the problems and repeating that I was not to bring my car back there for service. I proceeded to get in the car and let my husband handle the situation. My husband proceeded in the service area and came out with Mr. Lilly. He reported to him all the trouble we had in getting our car repaired and Mr. Lilly had no comment. More

went to look at ford fusion se found one and was approved through ford finance,told them wanted to check with bank first so I came back in after checking with bank (which was approved)and wanted to talk abou through ford finance,told them wanted to check with bank first so I came back in after checking with bank (which was approved)and wanted to talk about lowering price. sales manager would not lower 1 cent. so they bring me a bill of sale and I ask if the balance due on the bottom was all they needed a check for and was told 3 times that was correct(saleman asked sales manager in front of me to be sure) they faxed paper work to my bank. on way home looked closer at bill of sale they had added 1000.00 more to down payment. went back and asked sales manager and he said it was a mistake but the car would be 1000.00 dollars more on the ballance due amount, when I explained that i had asked three times if the amount was correct on balance due before i left and i said I would have to think about it before purchasing now, he stood up and got an attitude with me at which time I told him he could keep the car. I had to call bank very next morning have them cancell check. how ever I would like to say that the salesman (Brent) was very nice and I dont blame any of this on him, with that being said I went to another dealer near by and they found the same car and would sell it to me for less. they had to go out of state to pick it up but it was worth the wait not to have to put up with the rudeness of sales manager from bert wolf ford!

I had been a loyal customer of this dealership with eight new car purchases over the years. I had purchased a new vehicle, with a trade-in, for my daughter. We had the understanding with the sales rep that new car purchases over the years. I had purchased a new vehicle, with a trade-in, for my daughter. We had the understanding with the sales rep that a recently installed aftermarket CD player in the trade-in would be removed and returned to my daughter, as we had provided the stock radio to be re-installed. However, the vehicle was sold (at either retail or wholesale) without the player being removed. The sales rep refused to replace the player with another of equivalent value, but a much cheaper one. I considered this unacceptable. Numerous calls to the customer service staff were not returned. I sent a certified letter to Mr. Parke Wolfe, the President of the dealership - again, no response. I really regretted leaving a dealership that I had been very pleased with over the years, but I vowed never to deal with Bert Wolfe Ford again. This experience occurred several years ago, and I have purchased three new Fords from another local dealer since then. More

i recently tried to trade my car at Bert Wolfe Ford. they had a brand new 2009 super duty F-250 on the lot (yes a new 2009 truck) with 2010 and 2011 models. i told the salesman i was interested in the 09 or had a brand new 2009 super duty F-250 on the lot (yes a new 2009 truck) with 2010 and 2011 models. i told the salesman i was interested in the 09 or one of the 2010s. they didnt want to budge off the sticker price of $37,000 plus untill i asked about rebates, only then they rembered that there was a 5000.00 dollar rebate. on the ford website it lists 7500.00 dollars in rebates for 2009 f-250s so they werent even giving all the rebates possible.second they insulted me with the trade allowance which was 3500.00 dollars less than the competition. i was asked to fill out a credit applacation so i did and they said they would work a deal up. I waited 3 hours in the dealership waiting on a deal that never came that they said they were working on. I left with the promise of a call the next day that didnt come. i checked in with them over a couple of days and they said they were waiting on the finance dept (waiting to get a deal that didnt exist financed). every dealership i have been to has worked a deal before trying to get it financed, and i have bought alot of new trucks in my life. i guess bert wolfe doesnt work that way. now i just recieved a denial for credit letter in the mail saying that i wasnt approved, wasnt approved for what? i have no idea how much they tried to finance or for what because i saw no deal for anything. this dealership is pathedic and it is no wonder they still have brand new trucks, 2009 trucks with 2011 models hitting the lots. i wouldnt deal with this place nor would i recomend it. i want nothing to do with them, because they dont treat the public right.

Bought the Audi A8 in for a tune up, oil change, problems with the brakes, my appointment was in May 07 at 9:00 AM, once I arrived the service writer told me that they only had one Audi tech working today an with the brakes, my appointment was in May 07 at 9:00 AM, once I arrived the service writer told me that they only had one Audi tech working today and could get to me when they could, but I live 2.5 hours away and the appointment was made 6 to 7 days before. Audi had a flyer that i had with me showing what they offer on the summer check up, which was the oil change, check all fuilds, belts, etc., well I got only the oil change, no inspection of anything and infact refuse to check my trans oil, and the labor rate is $75.00 an hour, I was going to pay for the extra, but was refused. To this date I have put 7 qts of oil in the car and it leaks on the brand new driveway, where I have paid Wal Mart 50.00 for an oil change and it doesn't leak, the oil change here was $135.00. They found a problem that parts had to be order, that was ok, but they wanted there money up front, the parts cost over $540.00 and they was informed that the parts had to be on the car before June 1, 2007, cause the car was being relocated to Atlanta for the summer. The service writer told me 3 to 5 days for the parts which was in my time frame of the last week in May, this is July 9, 2007 and the parts are not on my car or will they return my phone call. I have tried canceling my payment to them on my credit card but there was other things on the charge that would not allow me, so the have over $500.00 of my money, my car links oil and when you stop at a stop light it looks like its on fire from the oil smoke. Plus I have put 7 qts of Mobile 1 at $4.99 a qts, which brings the cost of the oil change to $150.00, as much as I hate wal mart I can buy my filter and take the car there. Plus the car didn't get a car wash as promised. More
