I grew up in the Tunbridge/South Royalton area. I spent the first few years after high school trying landscaping, carpentry, roofing etc. I ventured into car sales in the beginning of 2019 and have really enjoyed helping the people in my community get into safer more reliable vehicles all while making a new friend and I look forward to doing the same for you and your family.

Darrin made purchasing a new car seamless. I went into the dealership knowing exactly what car I wanted (2023 Corolla Hybrid LE AWD), and Darrin met my requests with expediency. We immediately I went into the dealership knowing exactly what car I wanted (2023 Corolla Hybrid LE AWD), and Darrin met my requests with expediency. We immediately had an order placed without Darrin trying to sell me anything I didn’t request, he answered clearly any questions I had, and he made me copies of everything I signed. I left the dealership with his contact and promise to communicate in the weeks proceeding the car’s arrival. Darrin consistently updated me in the weeks to follow about the status of my order, flexibly tailoring his communication methods to fit my schedule (text/email). When the allotted car started being built with a different specification than what I preferred (the dealership can request so-and-so, but Toyota orders aren’t a guaranteed exact match), Darrin was able to request a change request to Toyota to build it with my preferred interior. Once the car hit the lot, I went into WRJ Toyota about three hours before they closed for the day, and I left with my keys in hand. Darrin sold at MSRP without any market adjustments like so many other dealerships do these days. (I did try to negotiate down from MSRP—which wasn’t possible—and I wasn’t able to remove mudguards that I didn’t order, but Darrin took off half of the price.) Darrin explained all of the car’s features, and he seemed to genuinely care about my customer experience even after I signed all the paperwork and walked out the door. He helped clear out my trade-in vehicle and set-up my new account/profile in my Corolla. He also followed up after my purchase offering his help in figuring out my new car and its features. I went into WRJ Toyota expecting the worst because I’m a flat-lander familiar with big-city salesmen exploiting consumers. But I had the total opposite experience with Darrin (Chris in Finance was also wonderful). The entire process was transparent, low-stress, and efficient. More

While we were there they offered with. The dealership is bright , clean and accommodating. The staff has a take care of you like family approach. While we were there they offered us snacks and drinks to help us feel comfortable during the entire process from finding the right vehicle to securing great financing. Dylan took the time to explain all of our options and walked us around the lot until the perfect vehicle was found. He was patient and understood my wants and needs in a new purchase. At this time we’ve been driving our new Toyota for about two weeks and I can honestly say that I have absolutely no regrets and several pleasant surprises. I highly recommend taking your business to White River Toyota for both the quality of the Toyota lineup and dedication their team delivers. More

Darin took over for Maegan when I came in spontaneously looking for a substitute for the Seder hybrid Corolla which wasn’t going to be in until the fall. He helped me to find a sort of substitute, and deal looking for a substitute for the Seder hybrid Corolla which wasn’t going to be in until the fall. He helped me to find a sort of substitute, and dealt with the trade-in, the deal, and I got my car the same day. A good person and good at his job. More

We worked with Darrin on the purchase of a new 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. Darrin helped us join the waitlist back in January, and despite the 6-month wait for our car to finally arrive, Darrin k Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. Darrin helped us join the waitlist back in January, and despite the 6-month wait for our car to finally arrive, Darrin kept us up-to-date with communication throughout the many months. Even thought there was really nothing to update, we greatly appreciate the call just to say "hey, we haven't forgotten about you but we are still waiting for a car." It was a great feeling to know we weren't forgotten! When the car was finally set to arrive, we talked regularly about how and when to get our test drive scheduled and official purchase made. Darrin was really great to work with -- super professional, polite, also funny! He made the whole process (despite all the waiting) very positive! More
