After shopping for 6 months for the right 2007 Toyota Landcruiser, I was fortunate to work with Paul Swerling on making the right purchase. The car had low miles and light wear and tear. The deal was c Landcruiser, I was fortunate to work with Paul Swerling on making the right purchase. The car had low miles and light wear and tear. The deal was completed over the course of a week and picking up the vehicle was quick and painless. This is where the story really begins so keep reading. Each of the following paragraphs is an exemplary lesson in standing behind a vehicle in varying parts of the organization: (i) when I picked up the car within 30 minutes Paul and I did a quick inspection and noted 3 minor items for order with supply, which were quickly noted and shipped asap via fedex all the while Paul and his team making sure they were in my hands as soon as possible. All items were rec'd within (2) weeks (the last of which only as it took a little time for the right part to be ordered); (ii) did I mention I had a loan with my credit union, and when they closed without getting me the check, the folks in the Toyota of Watertown office found out they got me a rate beating the credit union by about .50%! (iii) 3 weeks after purchase a very small leak showed itself in heavy downpour. This should have been taken care of by a local dealership where I'm from, but the "other dealership" gave me a runaround. After I returned from a business trip, I spoke to Paul and they sensed my frustration exacerbated by a redeye flight. Paul got me on the phone with Mike Mason, Watertown Service Manager, who couldn't have taken care of me better or more quickly and with the support of Carlos Girard, Preowned Sales Manager, to fix the hidden issue with the vehicle. They had me drop the car off at my convenience, gave me a complimentary rental, kept me posted on the progress of the fix while accomplishing another minor item as well, then had the car back to me good as news. (iv) THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE STORY FOR USED BUYERS OUT THERE SO READ ON-- Paul from the time we first made contact was in contact and always reachable by text, email and phone and always followed up promptly solving issues, problems, etc or putting me in touch with the right person in the organization, always explaining the situation 1st so I didnt have to tell any stories etc, to make my problems into solutions. I wouldn't buy a Landcruiser or any product Watertown Toyota could offer me anywhere else. Anyone can sell a new or used car, but the customer service and committment to product and service Watertown Toyota has really differentiates their performance of a business in the marketplace and makes them head and shoulder above their competition. Thank you to Paul, Mike and Carlos for making me a happy customer. I'll be back. Best Chad More
I had a super experience buying a used car from Paul Swerling at Toyota of Watertown. I saw and drove the Subaru Forester on Friday, July 9, bought it on Monday, July 12, and drove it off on a trip on Swerling at Toyota of Watertown. I saw and drove the Subaru Forester on Friday, July 9, bought it on Monday, July 12, and drove it off on a trip on Tuesday, July 13. Paul aranged the whole transaction and not only got me the registration and plates but had the car delivered to my house on Tuesday morning. I drove it to Philadelphia from Cambridge. It is a great car to drive and I would recommend buying a used car from Paul to anyone. More
I bought my first Rav4 at Boch six years ago, didn't particularly care for the cusomer service. Bought my next rav4 at Watertown, it was a satisfactory experience, decided to buy another Rav4 nd contac particularly care for the cusomer service. Bought my next rav4 at Watertown, it was a satisfactory experience, decided to buy another Rav4 nd contacted several dealerships, Watertown was by far the best to work with online, we then went to the showroom and met Lou Mondello, we made our deal, everyone was wonderful. Steve in finance was also great. We love ur car, our deal, we will recommend Watertown and we will definitely continue to do business there. More

Paul made this car buying experience extremely easy and pleasant. He gave us all the attention we needed and more, and everything was done professionally and as promised. The car was cleaned and looked goo pleasant. He gave us all the attention we needed and more, and everything was done professionally and as promised. The car was cleaned and looked good on the outside, but there are worn places. The vanity lights still don't work (I pointed this out before) and I will have to take the car in to get that fixed. I'm not accustomed to buying a used car, so it wasn't as exciting as the new car experience, but overall very good. I would definitely recommend my friends to go to Paul at Watertown Toyota to get a car! More
Went to get my Corolla serviced. The estimate came back over $3000. It was an old car not even worth $3K. Of course, the service person tried to convince me to buy a new car from them. I went to anothe over $3000. It was an old car not even worth $3K. Of course, the service person tried to convince me to buy a new car from them. I went to another repair shop. Their estimate was for $400. It turns out that the $3000 estimate was designed to make the Corolla like new -- not to fix the problem that I came in to repair. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and, when it came time for me to buy a new car, I went to Herb Chambers Toyota Boston instead. More

I had a great experience buying a used 2009 Toyota Matrix from Paul Cardozo. He was friendly and helpful and worked with me to find a car within my price range without trying to up-sell. Paul was very patien from Paul Cardozo. He was friendly and helpful and worked with me to find a car within my price range without trying to up-sell. Paul was very patient and responsive and guided me expertly through the used-car buying process. I went to the new car dealership a few times for various reasons and was bowled over by how their service department treated its customers. I've never been in a service department where the rep quietly approaches each individual customer to tell him or her that their car is ready. I recommend Paul and this dealership very highly. More
I just bought a used 2004 Chevy Malibu LS V6 from the Toyota of Watertown from Paul Cardoso. Paul was a great salesman. Any questions that we had he answered, he didn't pressure us into buying the car at Toyota of Watertown from Paul Cardoso. Paul was a great salesman. Any questions that we had he answered, he didn't pressure us into buying the car at all. He was sure to give us all the specifics and car facts of the car before we decided. His phone was always open to us for questions before buying the car(even though it didn't take long for us to decide we were gonna get it) and his phone is still open to us if we have any questions at all. He has called a couple times asking if everything is alright with the car which is very much appreciated by us. All of this shows that he really cares about his customers. I would recommend him to anyone who would be buying a car from toyota. Thank you for all your help and if we buy a car in the future i'll be sure that its from here! More
