Your hollow statement about how you “wouldn’t sell a car you wouldn’t give to your [insert every relative and battle buddy under the sun]” is not just laughable—it’s insulting. Let’s be honest: you didn you wouldn’t give to your [insert every relative and battle buddy under the sun]” is not just laughable—it’s insulting. Let’s be honest: you didn’t just push—you pressured, manipulated, and yelled at me and my wife. You tried to intimidate us into buying a vehicle that your dealership clearly knew was in poor condition. That’s not salesmanship—that’s predatory behavior. You are an embarrassment to the profession and a shining example of why used car salesmen have the reputation they do. Your actions have permanently branded Toyota of North Austin as a dishonest operation in my mind—a con job hiding behind a corporate logo. Thankfully, I had the foresight to purchase the extended warranty—something I now fully expect to need. And rest assured, I will never set foot in your dealership again. In fact, I’ll be steering clear of all Group 1 Automotive locations—because if your conduct is any indication of how they operate, then the whole organization is a plague on the industry. You should be ashamed. More

I was put in touch with Jose through a mutual friend while I was looking for a new car. I had the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. I looked at the dealer website for the exact models I was l while I was looking for a new car. I had the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever had. I looked at the dealer website for the exact models I was looking at and I had the numbers for both models in 30 minutes WITHOUT having to be there. I liked what I saw , stopped by, text drove the Tacoma TRD sport , had the keys and was home in 1.5 hours. Insane to think about. Everything was exactly as stated. Not a single difference from what he said to what I saw on paper. Even Lorenzo in finance was amazing. After my 3 years is up, I’ll be back y’all. 10/10 excellent working with you jose, and thank you Toyota of north Austin! More
