My name is James Padilla. I am a business manager for Freeman Toyota. My life changed a few years back around 2018 when I met our GM Dane Minor at a restaurant he frequented and I managed for 6 years, we sort of hit it off and he invited me for an interview for a sales position. After meeting the staff and employees i knew it would be a great fit! You could feel the family bond and see the happiness from the managers and employees who work here. I started as a salesman in April of 2018 and then was given the opportunity to move into a finance position where I am now! When I tell people, we are different than any other dealership it's because I see outstanding qualities being put to work every day from the top down. We have pride and integrity with how we treat our customers. Most of we all love selling Toyotas and we have fun doing it. I am proud and honored to be a part of the Freeman family, and it would be my pleasure to help you become a part of the family as well.

I was frustrated by not having a detailed list of options included in my vehicle’s “convenience package”, which led to some anxiety and buyer’s remorse. I don’t know if this is a Toyota issue or my salespers included in my vehicle’s “convenience package”, which led to some anxiety and buyer’s remorse. I don’t know if this is a Toyota issue or my salesperson? Other than this one thing, the car-buying process was painless and I would recommend Freeman Toyota to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. More

We negotiated a fair price for both parties and agreed to purchase. They found and obtained our vehicle from another store within 2 days and we arrived to pick it up. James & Brandon in finance were a pleasure to work with also. Thank you guys at Freeman and appreciate you taking care of our family. More

Richard "Maverick" Linck is awesome. I was referred to him by my boss of 15-years. He truly does his research and is quick and on top of everything. I had the intention of only going to I was referred to him by my boss of 15-years. He truly does his research and is quick and on top of everything. I had the intention of only going to test drive until I spoke to Maverick. He very quickly made the whole process quick, and easy. Very personable and loves to share a laugh. As soon as I told him my needs and what I was looking for, He within 20 seconds had a list of about 3-5 cars to meet my needs. Took all of my data and had me in and out of the dealership as quickly as he could. James Padilla was the finance guy, also very kind, and personable. Asked questions and made you seem like you mattered, not just another person to walk through the door. Great service and a great team. Will continue to use them going forward! - Aaron Loyer More

I recently purchased a 2025 Toyota Tundra from Freeman Toyota, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional service I received from salesmen Robert “BJ” Stankovich and Kenneth Anderson. From t Toyota, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional service I received from salesmen Robert “BJ” Stankovich and Kenneth Anderson. From the very beginning, BJ demonstrated an outstanding commitment to helping me find the perfect truck. He was on top of communications, listened carefully to my preferences, and worked diligently to locate a Tundra that matched exactly what I wanted. His approach was refreshingly transparent and honest, and he made sure we landed on a fair price that felt right for both sides. Kenneth was equally impressive, bringing deep knowledge and patience to the table as he walked me and my wife through the truck’s features, options, packages, and maintenance. His ability to explain everything clearly and thoroughly made the learning process enjoyable, and stress-free Both BJ and Kenneth showed genuine willingness to help, never rushing me, and always following up to ensure I was comfortable and confident with my purchase. Their professionalism and care made this the best car-buying experience I’ve ever had. Also, a special shout-out to James Padilla in finance, who made wrapping up the payment and warranty details incredibly smooth and cost effective. I will absolutely continue to recommend Freeman Toyota, and especially these three outstanding team members. If you’re in the market for a vehicle, do yourself a favor and ask for BJ, Kenneth, and James—you will be in great hands! More
