We just purchased a 2018 Lexus RX 350 at the Newport News dealership. Mohamad Mayassi handled our stress free sale. Mohamad took excellent care of us. We have been a customer of the Newport News dealership for years. The outstanding service we receive from the Service department keeps us committed to the dealership.

Great Salespeople who help their peers - Jane Stilley

I bought a Lexus at the Oceana Tent Sale. I was being helped by a Charles Barker Toyota salesperson but Darryl Ward kindly stepped in to answer some specific questions I had about the vehicle. Even though I did not buy the car from him, Darryl the next day spent well over an hour with me going over all the bells and whistles of the car. It takes a real team player and love of the product he is selling to take time to help another salesperson's customer. Darryl stands for a great representation of his dealership. I was sent to this dealership by a very satisfied customer who bought a Lexus at a previous Oceana Tent Sale. I plan to "pay it forward" and recommend Charles Barker to others as well!

Service Tech mis-trust - tonictko

I called to make an appointment for a 60 thousand mile service, when I asked how much that service cost I was told $420.00 for my 2010 RX 350. My asking that question is such a normal question! Who would not want to know that information, however when I got there my Service Tech whom was friendly tried to stick it to me. Meaning he printed off a ticket that was well over $500 and I asked him why was I quoted $420.00 and his ticket shows over $500 and he stated that I had never been there before so it printed a generic ticket. I was so disappointed in that answer and that lead me to believe that the service tech was trying to get over on me,because a 60 thousand miles service should be $420.00 regardless if I ever been there or not. I did not say anything at that time because I was so upset. I have always seen so many dealerships on the news for over charging customers and making invalid claims to the customer. On 05/04/2018 I experienced it first hand. If I had not mention that it was a discrepancy between the ticket and what I was a the time of scheduling my appointment he would have gotten over. I now believe that the service writing have quota too meet and the service writer chose the wrong one when he got me. I will now look into writing to Lexus HQ to make them aware of the inconsistency with their employees. I just do not want to have to worry about if I'm being overcharged when I bring my car in.
