My passion first started with cars. My First vehicle I owned was a Toyota and fell in love with the brand ever since. I first started working as a Service Advisor at a local shop, then eventually found my true passion which was to help people find the vehicle of their dreams! I enjoy communicating with people on a personal level. My aspiration being a Sales Professional is to make sure evey person I help is treated equally and can genuinely have a fun and stress free time buying the vehicle of their dreams at a place you can trust!

Car buying is really different these days. Ed gets 5 stars but the sales manager was condescending. Ed gets 5 stars but the sales manager was condescending. More

Our salesman Joelson was amazing and showed the utmost professionalism and integrity while working with us. This was my son’s first car buying experience and he took the time to thoroughly explain the veh professionalism and integrity while working with us. This was my son’s first car buying experience and he took the time to thoroughly explain the vehicle and all of the features to him and made him feel confident in his selection. We have purchased several Toyotas and currently have a 2011 Sienna which we plan to upgrade in the near future and would be happy to work with him on our next purchase! Unfortunately we did not have the same, positive experience with the finance guy Brian. Do your due diligence and plan your financing ahead of time. We were left with a very bad feeling after realizing we were blatantly lied to by him in regard to having to purchase an extended warranty in order to obtain a lower interest rate. Not only is the information Brian told us not true, it is an FTC Act violation and is a deceptive business practice called "tied selling" per an attorney we spoke with as well as Toyota Financial Services. Brian started us off at a whopping 7% interest rate and assured us he had shopped around and that this was the lowest rate he could offer us. When we got up and walked away, he invited us back in and told us he spoke with Toyota Financial Services and they miraculously offered us a lower rate but told us again, in order to get that lower rate we would have to purchase the extended warranty and were told this repeatedly when we asked if there was any way to not purchase the warranty. A lower rate is dependent upon top tier credit (which I have), not tying it with an additional product or service. Again, deceptive selling. While we understand the need to make money on the deal (in addition to the $500 lo-jack) we also know it can be done in a way with integrity and by not being deceptive which is very bad practice for any business. We did communicate this to the management team at this dealership and have yet to hear anything at all from them. Again, disappointing. Yes, we were able to cancel the warranty but contact from the management team would have been a nice show of integrity and that they don’t stand behind these types of deceptive tactics. More
