I just wanted the opportunity to say thank you very much for the business in getting this 2025 Toyota 4Runner for my wife this past weekend. And even though your finance guy said the rate would match my ba for the business in getting this 2025 Toyota 4Runner for my wife this past weekend. And even though your finance guy said the rate would match my bank, you guys were able to get me a slightly lower rate than what we talked on over the phone (was suprised when we signed the paperwork and noticed the lower rate). Thank you for the deal and the smooth transaction. Wanted to give thanks to John Rowe, whom I worked with over the phone and wished I had the opportunity to give thanks and shake his hands in person, but he got other matters to attend to day of. Thanks to Jake for going through all the paperwork with us when we arrived. Thanks to finance Mike Serno and Norma Vasquez for going through everything on finance end. Wife loved the vehicle so far. Happy wife, happy life. :) Thank you and the whole team at Bill Walsh Toyota in Ottawa, IL for the business and great service provided while working out the deal over the phone and while there. Made the 3.5hr trip worth it! Highly recommended and would love to do future business with again. Thank you very much! More

John took the time to make sure each vehicle I wanted to look at was ready for me as I came to the dealer.
