But I knew that the Toyota Rav4 was the car I really wanted, so I took a chance and visited this dealership. From beginning to end, I was exceptionally impressed with the positive atmosphere of the dealership, the knowledge and friendliness of the staff, and their willingness to do whatever needed to be done to stay within my budget while still getting me in the car I wanted. They made it happen! The sales rep I worked with, Jennifer Smith, was so friendly and walked me through every step of the process which was helpful since this was my first time buying new. She was always available and responded quickly to emails and messages and thoroughly answered any questions I had (she even responded to texts on her day off!!). Everyone was friendly, saying hello and offering me refreshments. And at the end of the process when I was working with Dennis on the financial end of things, he explained everything very well to me. One thing that I definitely liked from the experience as a whole, was that I felt like the entire time, their number one interest was helping me get the car I wanted. I never felt pressured or uncomfortable or anxious or any of those other negative things that you normally think of when dealing with buying a car. They have made a lifetime customer out of me! More

We had a good experience shopping for an SUV We made an appointment to drive a new Rav4 as we were considering buying a new SUV. As the salesman got to know us he asked us to consider a used Lexu We made an appointment to drive a new Rav4 as we were considering buying a new SUV. As the salesman got to know us he asked us to consider a used Lexus RX they had on the lot. It turned out we drove that one instead and made the decision to buy it as it was priced right and was quite a step up in luxury. Jim was very helpful in knowing what we may like and helped us in a non pushy manner. I look forward to having it serviced at Sun Shine Toyota and we expect to work with Jim on our next vehicle. Dennis Walters was very helpful in explaining financing options and the financing went very smooth. More

Not our first rodeo Purchasing a new car can be an arduous experience. Sunshine Toyota staff made it less so, but it was still "the game". We travel over 50 miles (one w Purchasing a new car can be an arduous experience. Sunshine Toyota staff made it less so, but it was still "the game". We travel over 50 miles (one way) to Sunshine Toyota due to our exceptional previous experiences with sales and service. The local dealership can't touch the level of customer care that Sunshine provides. For this purchase, we made this trip four times. We knew what we wanted when we walked in, so that part was not a problem. The vehicle with the specs we had our hearts set on wasn't on the lot...that's when things became difficult and time-consuming. Our salesman was a bit overwhelmed at the times that we were there, so that added to our unease. Information shared with us changed multiple times - some of this, we felt, was due to our own research contradicting the salesman's statements.. The haggling was expected, but took too long. In the end we were satisfied with the terms. During the multiple visits and HOURS going through the process, we became frustrated and disheartened several times, BUT the Sunshine Toyota staff (especially Steve Schultz and Dennis Walters) made sure we were happy with our new vehicle..

Was super excited to get this new driv It was a wonderful experience in getting my first car. I am fresh graduate and I was trying to lease a new car. Was super excited to get this new drive but was also in a tight budget. But Hunter and Dennis helped me out with the situation and gave me awesome deals and payment options to fit my budget. I got the cheapest rate in 100 miles radius. I would highly recommend sunshine Toyota, Battle Creek and also Hunter and Dennis. More

The perfect experience for a first time car buyer!! I bought my first car over the weekend and had a wonderful experience at Sunshine Toyota! Chip was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the cars I w I bought my first car over the weekend and had a wonderful experience at Sunshine Toyota! Chip was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the cars I was interested in. I had a lot of questions since it was my first time buying a car and they helped me through it by answering all of my questions and giving me good information. I traded in my car that wasnt working and they even drove all the way to Portage to tow it for me. Dennis from finance was great too. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly or better experience, highly recommended :) More

Over and above to provide service I was delighted by the service, especially by Krista Shields. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the car I wanted, and that I was taken care I was delighted by the service, especially by Krista Shields. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the car I wanted, and that I was taken care of. She, as well as Dennis Walters continued to do some hard negotiating to arrange my financing, through a marathon session. Sunshine was also totally transparent on its car pricing. Every car on the lot was well and clearly marked with the make, year, and price. It's website was complete and thorough in its inventory listing. None of the "call for a price" stuff. Everyone at the dealership was helpful and willing to go out of their way to make sure I was happy. I would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you. More

Fantastic Service I couldn't be happier with my experience at Sunshine Toyota. Everyone was very helpful from the quick response to my first email inquiring about the I couldn't be happier with my experience at Sunshine Toyota. Everyone was very helpful from the quick response to my first email inquiring about the car and since I live an hour and 40 minutes away they went out of their way to pull the car up and make sure it was a non-smoker vehicle before I made the trip. After my test drive I made arrangements to pick up the car two days later and when an opportunity came up to pick it up the next morning instead they made arrangements to make that happen. When I picked up the car, they had been unable to locate the second key but said they would have someone drive out to my house and pick up the car and bring it in to have the key made even though we live quite a distance. After discovering a stone chip on the my drive home, they offered to fix that as well at the same time they made they key. I couldn't be happier with my experience and would recommend them to anyone.

Sunshine Toyota is the best I just purchased a 2013 Tundra from Brad and as always was treated professionally and with respect. You are always made to feel at home and comforta I just purchased a 2013 Tundra from Brad and as always was treated professionally and with respect. You are always made to feel at home and comfortable without the pressure you get at some dealers. Everybody you talk to or deal with there is always very friendly and make sure you have everything you need. Between my wife and myself this is the 8th vehicle we have purchased from Brad. We always recommend him and the dealership to all our friends who are looking for a great car and purchasing experience. More
