Freeman Toyota

John is best ive ever dealt with I was shopping all over LA/OC for a TRD 4runner.

Prices were $5-10k over sticker and dealers were pains in rear, too many calls, not polite, not knowledgeable, etc. I've also shopped for tacomas same experience in LA/OC. salesmen don't know the 4x4s well but blow smoke or are arrogant saying Toyota trucks sell so well pay sticker or more and no negotiating. Enter meeting John Coffaney. Orders me EXACTLY what I want and substantially UNDER MSRP. I flew to Santa Rosa from LA with girlfriend and he picked us up at airport. He took two hours programming my cell to vehicle and literally explaining every single feature and gadget and button and making sure I knew what it did and how to use it. Friendliest salesmen I've ever dealt with. And patient I was called and emailing him all the time. The deal was so good I was worried at times I might be getting tricked but that wasn't the case!! I've sent at least 3 other guys to him from LA/OC who ended up buying their 4runners from him too. No hassles no BS He gives you build sheet and bottom line price the FIRST time you speak to him. I've never had such a positive car buying experience. I'm shopping for my dad now in Pittsburgh and dealers are such a hassle won't give me bottom line price,have me talk to a minion internet sales person, then "sales manager" and then GM before I can get a price!! I am seriously considering buying a Tacoma or 4runner from John again and shipping it or driving it cross country back to Pittsburgh to avoid the typical car buying nightmares!! More

Too Long A Wait For Servicing Had to wait a half hour in line in my car before a service representative spoke to me. I think they overbook. The actual servicing for 10,000 miles to Had to wait a half hour in line in my car before a service representative spoke to me. I think they overbook. The actual servicing for 10,000 miles took 2 hours, longer then they told me. I waited in their facility which could be updated with more comfortable chairs. More

Worst customer service EVER! A total money grab for them....they way overbook "appointments" and then completely compromise customer service. The most inefficient operation I have A total money grab for them....they way overbook "appointments" and then completely compromise customer service. The most inefficient operation I have EVER encountered. Jerry, the service manager, ought to be fired and replaced with a young educated individual schooled in operations. The service technicians are polite, but 20 cars ahead of me when I arrive 5 minutes early for an "appointment"? Show some respect for my time!! I don't have 2+ hours to wait for an oil change! More

Jerry fixed everything after a phone call, thanks! My mom was initially over charged for a "preferred service" but after a call to the Service Department Manager, Jerry, everything was taken care of. I My mom was initially over charged for a "preferred service" but after a call to the Service Department Manager, Jerry, everything was taken care of. I'm happy to report that my faith in Toyota is restored and that this department is run by a family and manager that can be trusted and depended on just like the reliable Toyota itself. More

Abusive My mother bought a new 2015 ?army car from Ed Borgna on 3/13/15. She traded in her 2012 Camry.

On the way home, she found the steering wheel and the gas pedal hard to handle and she informed Mr. Borgna od this upon arrival to her home in Calistoga. He told her to drive for few days - "to see how she feels", as she felt the same, she drove back to the dealership, asking to replace the vehicle with another that she drove on the lot and found easier to handle. Instead, she was sent to the mechanic, who inspected the car and found nothing wrong, He did say that the car she found easier to drive had a different make tires, at which point I called the salesperson and asked him if they could just swap out the tires. He said he'd take care of it. He did nothing of the sort. On Saturday, 3/21/15, the 1st time a manager was available, my mother went to see him. He told her that if he helped her, they would not make any money and when a friend called on my other's behalf because she was distraught and crying.the friend characterized the manager as not only not helpful, but downright nasty. Manager was Marty Vendrick. He said that the only way she was getting a new car was for her to forfeit the sales tax and registration fee, which amounts to over $3K. my mother is driving the car on one lane winding country roads, with a steering wheel she can barely handle. She is 80 years old. A shame on this dealership!!! More

Terrible Customer Service My experience started after I purchased a certified used 2012 Sienna 3 months ago. After just 2 months the A/C on my car gave out in heat of mid Ju My experience started after I purchased a certified used 2012 Sienna 3 months ago. After just 2 months the A/C on my car gave out in heat of mid July. I scheduled an appoint. on the Freeman website for Sat morning and brought my car in to the service department where I was greeted by James. At first he had a hard time finding my appoint. and after I told to him that I had made it on the website using the schedule appointment page, he explained to me that the website appoint. function wasn't up and running perfectly yet. I told him my problem, they did diagnostic on my car for the day and I used the shuttle program to get home and back from the service department. When I came to pick up the car, James informed me that the car required A/C service and the location of parts need replacement were in hard to reach areas of the dash/engine which justified the hefty price tag for diagnostics at $156 which I originally thought shouldn't cost me anything since my car was a certified used vehicle and I had purchased the platinum extended warranty. He told me regardless of my warranty I still needed to pay the diagnostic fee. He told me I would get a call the following Tues/Wed when the part arrived to reserve an appt. The service I needed would only take 3 hrs. hrs. Tues & Wed came and went with no call and it wasn't until the following Monday when I finally was able to get someone on the phone after leaving messages for James everyday Wed-Sat. I had a car with no A/C and two small children for over a week in July on one of the hottest weeks of the year. On Mon. I set up an appt. with a rep who told me the part came in as scheduled on Wed the week prior. I was greeted at my appt. by Curtis who informed me my service would take 3 days not 2 hrs and I could rent a car complimentary. 3 days into service, Curtis called to tell me my car would take 4 days instead of 3. On Friday, I returned my rental, picked up my car from Curtis and received my receipt with $1800 worth of service covered by warranty. Not once being told I am owed a refund for my diagnostic fee. After almost 2 weeks later James calls me to inform me that the part I need is covered by warranty and I can come it to get service. I called him back explained I received service already, and was expecting a refund for my paid diagnostic fee. He sounded confused and tells me he will call me back in 10 min. Never heard back from him, I called and left him a message, and after 3 days I finally called Freeman to talk to the GM of service dept. David calls me back and tells me the GM Jerry is unavailable. Hey tells me he is sorry for my experience and will send me my diagnostic fee back ASAP and inform the GM of my experience. That's it! No remuneration, no compensation, no asking what he can do to make it better or make it up to me, giving me a reason to try give them another shot. In fact, it seemed like he was doing me a favor by getting the money they owed me back to me. With so many other great options in Sonoma to use for Toyota service why would you go somewhere, where the reps have inconsistent stories, terrible communication with their customers, and are willing to take your money they are not owed. Disgraceful and unethical business practices. More

My Limited Edition Ford Thunderbird was "totalled" when someone hit it while it was parked. I did numerous internet searches to find a replacement and found one at Freeman Toyota and sent "totalled" when someone hit it while it was parked. I did numerous internet searches to find a replacement and found one at Freeman Toyota and sent in an electronic request for more information. John was so patient with me and my numerous emails requesting information (I did not want to make the long drive to Santa Rosa if the car was not a good replacement for mine.) John and Marty were again patient with me while checking over the car ( and I do mean checking as in a checklist with every item listed that I knew could go wrong with the car as I had owned one for over 9 years), John and Marty were fantastic in helping me get a good price to cover the cost of the car vs. my settlement check from the insurance company for the replacement of my original car. I still was out of pocket but felt good that the car I was buying was at a reasonable price especially considering there were only three cars I could find in all of CA and their price was already the lowest. Gary in finance was great. He took us through the process of purchasing the car in a professional, efficient manner and explained the different options for purchasing an extended warranty. We were concerned about purchasing a 10 year old car without one as we know the high cost of repairs for this baby. It took us over 3 hours to drive to Santa Rosa in the traffic and rain and it was close to closing by the time we got there. Everyone was patient with us and did not try to hurry us through the process. Would I recommend driving to Santa Rosa Freeman Toyota to purchase a car? YES More
