Wilson Toyota of Ames

This is the third car I've bought from Eric, and I think it'll be the last for a while. He helped me get into my "dream" car - a Camry Hybrid - which I did not think would happen for at least another decad it'll be the last for a while. He helped me get into my "dream" car - a Camry Hybrid - which I did not think would happen for at least another decade. So, I see myself staying in this car until it no longer runs, and then, if Eric is still at Wilson's, you can bet he's getting my business! The first car I bought from him, he was so helpful explaining all of the details of what makes a Corolla great and even called the Nissan dealership when I said I wanted to test drive a Sentra... obviously I came back to Wilson's. My second car was also a Corolla and Eric really went above and beyond. This was the year the Corolla model changed and I had been wishing I'd gotten the deep blue it came in, but the new model had changed to a lighter royal blue. So I told him I was really wanting a 2008 LE (for the wood trim look), in blue, with tan interior and a moon roof... he could find 3 out of the 4 in the local area and ended up going out of the region to find exactly what I wanted. Of course for giggles, I test-drove a Camry this summer. So I'd made up my mind in a year or two I'd get a Camry LE. But gas mileage is a HUGE thing for me, so ultimately I really wanted a Hybrid. They got a used 2007 one in and I saw it online. Eric, like on my first Corolla, took the time to point out so many things I didn't know about it, but where he really came thru was working with management to make sure I could afford to trade in my Corolla, which wasn't even two years old yet. If he hadn't been able to help with the trade side, I wouldn't have been able to get the Hybrid. I have fallen in love with this car and I know short of winning the lottery, I'll be driving it til it drops. Thank you so much, Eric!! Matt in the finance area was also very easy to work with and helped me get a better rate than I could get at my credit union. I would definitely recommend at least letting him see what he can do for someone in financing a new vehicle. More

Our whole experience dealing with Wilson's in general, and Eric Hippen, in particular was a very positive one. We were never pressured or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. Eric was very patient and and Eric Hippen, in particular was a very positive one. We were never pressured or made to feel uncomfortable in any way. Eric was very patient and understanding with me even when I changed my mind about the vehicle I wanted. He always answered my many calls and emails promptly and never made me feel like the questions were silly ones. I also commend Matt Peterson for his patience with us in helping us fiqure out the best financing option for us. He also answered our questions fully so that we could understand. We were given a fair trade-in value for our Jeep and feel we got a good deal on the new RAV4. Though I intend to drive the new car a very long time, we will return to Wilson's again and will recommend it to our friends. More
