Bernardi Toyota

I have purchased many cars from J.R. at Bernardi Toyota. He is fabulous. Over the years we have built a good rapport. I decide what car I want. J.R. and I discuss the vehicle to be sure it's what I want and He is fabulous. Over the years we have built a good rapport. I decide what car I want. J.R. and I discuss the vehicle to be sure it's what I want and need. We begin our negotiations on price and I let J.R. know where I am and he let's me know where he is. We mutually arrive at a satisfactory price. I would not think of dealing with or going anywhere else. More

I first contacted Bernardi Toyota via the internet requesting an equote on a particular vehicle. After several email exchanges with Josh Wainrib (internet sales), he invited me in to at least visit t requesting an equote on a particular vehicle. After several email exchanges with Josh Wainrib (internet sales), he invited me in to at least visit the dealership. I took him up on the invitation. When I arrived I met Josh and he then introduced me to Dell, a salesman. This is very common practice where the internet sales hands off to a floor salesman. Personally, I don’t like that but Josh did take the time to help with the sale. Dell (salesman) very nice, professional and good mannered. He jumped right into the typical scripted sales questions. Having talked with him at delivery (few days later) I am sure he may not have been 100% that day, which with the weather swings it’s no wonder. As process continued, he must have walked 10 miles in the time we were talking; heck my feet were sore just watching him. We went back and forth several times. By then I am sure Dell needed a new pair of shoes. Mind you, I used a number of web resources to reach my ultimate number that was so low and a dealer would throw me out of the dealership. The last round they came very close to that number. Sitting with the finance agent, I was presented with several add ons, warranties and other accessories. To be honest, the presentation was excellent, low pressure and very informative. Tacomas do not have any viable incentives but I was able to get an excellent financing rate, through on of their banks. One thing I liked was I worked with Dell and Josh the entire time. Many other dealerships I visited, someone from the “tower” would come down and put the pressure on me after the second offered price. Obviously, Dell was given a couple of numbers to work with, he worked with me. Bernardi Toyota was the 17th car dealer, fourth Toyota dealer, I paid a visit to on this long road to getting a new vehicle. Out of the 17 dealers, 6 dealers I would revisit, with Bernardi being one of them. If you are looking for a Toyota, you owe it to yourself to pay a visit to Bernardi Toyota. added April 21, 2010 Tuesday Bernardi fulfilled the purchase agreement with the installation of the remote starter, sticker and registration. I have to say i am somewhat disappointed in the quality of the remote starter that was installed. This was not the Toyota OEM remote start this was installed by a subcontractor, which did introduce some pretty new scratches on my steering column and dash. The price of the starter was higher than what one would expect to pay for an after market unit and installation. I wanted to do the entire package and have it covered under the warranty, so I paid the price. For what you pay at the dealer you can get a FULL security system and starter with lots of bells and whistles. At the finance office, there was a brochure with minimal information regarding the product. In other words neither the finance person nor the brochure tells you what you are purchasing while you are sitting with the finance person. I failed to ask so it is 100% my fault, but hopefully you won't have to make the same mistake.. The unit works fine, but for the price it doesn't have some of the basic features such as antigrind protection, valet feature and transmitter bypass. My recommendation would be to completely bypass this step and seek out a professional installer. Doing so, there may be some warranty issues if something does happen. I have had 4 remote starters put in new vehicles, other than my latest purchase, I have had 1 go bad. That was due to a computer in my Dodge going failing shorting out the parking brake and headlights, a very common issue in the dakotas and durangos (google dakota flashing dashboard, its scary). The installer was extremely sloppy and introduced some deep scratches in the dashboard of the new vehicle. I am not sure this installer knew how to remove dash board panels properly. The remote starter purchase and installtion was certainly the low light of the purchasing experience and I would recommend staying away from the remote starter offering. More

We bought a new Tacoma in November and were so happy with the salespeople, service, service staff and overall experience at Bernardi Toyota. When it came time to buy a second new car we immediately went back the salespeople, service, service staff and overall experience at Bernardi Toyota. When it came time to buy a second new car we immediately went back to dealing with Ammar. We love our new Highlander. Ammar took time to make sure I can fold seats, replace center seat attachment, and operate all the bells and whistles in the car. Ammar's follow up is, was and we expect always will be outstanding. Dan stepped in to help when we needed to test drive a car when Ammar was not available. His technical knowledge of the car was amazing-and he explained many of the components in a fashion that was understandable to someone who knows little about a car. Natalie makes you feel like your are long lost friends. John crunched the numbers knowing that buying a second car in four months is a challenge to a young family. Our experience here has turned two former Ford drivers into Bernardi customers for life-or as Ammar would say-we are part of the Bernardi Family! More

Was referred in by another Bernardi Auto Group employee, who is great. Notwithstanding having arrived with a referral -- having purchased elsewhere from Bernardi -- I was sold a car that to the trained eye who is great. Notwithstanding having arrived with a referral -- having purchased elsewhere from Bernardi -- I was sold a car that to the trained eye (i.e., a dealer) had been in a significant collision, though I was shown as a representation of the vehicle's condition and history, a Carfax which had no such accident registered. There were a number of additional problems requiring maintenance -- some typical for a car of its age (2002 w/36k miles), and some that should have been fixed in advance of the vehicle being sold (bubbled tires, torn axel boot requiring replacement of the axel, tail light leaking fluid, cracked plastic wheel well where vehicle had been in accident but not repaired correctly). Eventually settled with General Manager on splitting the bill of repair, which I thought reasonable of him; but, I had to agitate strongly for this outcome. I should, though, never have been sold a car that had been in an accident -- or at a minimum, the presence of such a condition should have been made clear to me. To my trained body shop professional, whose services I had used in the past, it was instantaneously obvious that the vehicle had been poorly repaired. The same sentiment was shared by Bernardi's body shop manager when he, on my encouragement to the General Manager, inspected the car post-transaction. Post-transaction and on being advised of vehicle condition problems -- the used car manager, Miguel, articulated on more than one occasion that the car was "used" -- an opinion I thought typical of someone trying to avoid responsibility. I am happy to receive any inquiries in this respect. drough.mba1999@ivey.ca UPDATE 1: Peter Cronin, from the Bernardi Group team, called me to investigate further the matter set forth above, in respect of which I relayed the details to him. I will report back as to whether an agreeable solution is found. UPDATE 2: Left car at Bernardi Acura to so that it could priced at auction, and sold if the price were agreeable. 3 weeks after leaving the car I emailed Peter to see if they were having trouble. Was told that it would be sold at the next week's auction and needed to have the hard top placed on it. A dealer representative was to come by the house before the following week's auction to collect the top, but never did. Four weeks later I just collected the car and gave up. Peter did make a good effort on his part, but his colleagues at the Acura dealership let him down. Ironically the Toyota dealer's GM is now the GM at the Acura dealer. Now faced with selling the car in its current state, and bearing the financial loss. Considering my remedies. More
