McGee Toyota of Putnam

A year ago I purchased a new car from McGee Toyota in Putnam and the experience was excellent. The process was simple — essentially “sign and drive.” The sales representative handled everything smoothly Putnam and the experience was excellent. The process was simple — essentially “sign and drive.” The sales representative handled everything smoothly without the typical back-and-forth with managers, and the entire transaction was quick and easy. Because of that positive experience, I assumed that reaching out a year later to purchase a used vehicle would be just as straightforward. Unfortunately, that’s where things went downhill. Without getting into every small detail, the dealership still seems very stuck in the old-school way of selling cars — limited transparency, reluctance to provide clear numbers, and an apparent strategy of trying to get the customer physically into the dealership to spend hours negotiating price, trade-in value, and other details. That approach may have worked years ago, but it’s not something I’m willing to go through today — especially when the dealership is about an hour drive for me. I was very upfront about this from the beginning. As a returning customer with a paid-off 2025 Toyota to trade in, all I asked was that the process remain simple and convenient — similar to my previous “sign and drive” purchase experience. Unfortunately, that request was essentially met with a “no.” The representative I was dealing with, Tom, even commented “hate to lose a customer.” What made the situation even more surprising is that the dealership already had my phone number and email on file, yet there was absolutely no follow-up from a sales manager afterward, which was disappointing. The entire process around buying a used car and discussing a trade-in felt unnecessarily complicated and time-consuming. For comparison, I reached out to Land Rover Norwood simply to see how another dealership handled the process. As soon as I provided them with the details of my 2025 trade-in, they clearly recognized I was a serious buyer. Within about 20 minutes I had every piece of information I needed — clear numbers, transparency, and a straightforward process. That’s exactly how a modern car buying experience should work. Ironically, the vehicle we test drove there was the exact same RAV4 that McGee had listed — same mileage and actually priced $1,000 less — and it was also located only about 20 minutes from my house. Despite that, I still tried to give McGee Toyota another opportunity at my business because I was a returning customer. Unfortunately, once again the response was simply “we will beat that.” Beat what exactly? By $1? All I was asking for was full transparency and clear numbers, and that seemed to be a struggle. In the end, I chose to move forward with Carvana. The process was incredibly simple, transparent, and hassle-free. My wife’s Honda Passport will be picked up on Wednesday. I would have genuinely preferred to give my repeat business to McGee Toyota, especially after my positive experience the first time. Unfortunately, this most recent experience made that impossible.

From my first interaction via email with Loren regarding purchasing a new vehicle and trading in my current 4Runner (Beatrice) I knew this dealership was different. I loved my Beatrice - she served my needs purchasing a new vehicle and trading in my current 4Runner (Beatrice) I knew this dealership was different. I loved my Beatrice - she served my needs and keep my family safe for 10 years but it was time for a new one. Meeting with Leandro and the first thing he asked was what do you like about your current vehicle- what don’t you like and what would you like. Those were very valuable questions that no sales person ever asked me before. Working with Leandro was seamless. I test drove two perfect vehicles a new 4Runner and a Land Cruiser. Both beautiful, bold, and safe vehicles. In the end, Beatrice was retired and I purchased a 2026 Land Cruiser proudly earning the name Penny Lane. There was no pressure- there was just amazing and knowledgeable people there to guide your purchase. Jimmy - the manager was very helpful and personable. Seeing the whole team work together to make sure we had the best experience. Thank you so much for your time, knowledge, and personal- professionalism. More
