When I first walked onto the lot at Toyota of Wallingford I of course received great customer service, I was buying a brand new car. Well from my very first oil change with the service department I had major I of course received great customer service, I was buying a brand new car. Well from my very first oil change with the service department I had major issues. The staff is rude, nasty and snotty to say the least. They treated me like crap every time I called or came in. One time I decided to get a car wash and when I picked up my car my front license plate was bent in half and the front bumper was scratched and dented. I noticed this right away and informed the service staff. To my surprise they did nothing about it, the women said "oh well you can purchase some touch up paint". They can damage my car and not be held responsible for it. I called and called about this and Diane called me back maybe once with some xx excuse. I waited for a call from the owner and of course never received one. I called again and they said "this matter has been closed". I was pissed! I will never buy a car from them again and will tell everyone I know not to do business with them. Please if you are thinking of doing business with Toyota of Wallingford, DON'T!! More

I recently brought my SUV in for service and incountered a small issue..this was compounded by a miscommunication.....I became very angry at first and wrote on line how upset i was....I was really expecting a small issue..this was compounded by a miscommunication.....I became very angry at first and wrote on line how upset i was....I was really expecting not to get the unbelievable caring response that I did get. My experience working with other car dealerships and service companies in the past was always so stressful, dreadful and was always left unsatisfied. My experience with Wallingford Toyota has been one of a kind. Every detail of my issue was dealt with and corrected quickly and with great kindness. Karen the Service Manager could not have been more kind and professional and apologetic. This is a dealership where the customer satisfaction is important to them. You very rarely come across this kind of service and i highly recommend Wallingford Toyota. More

I purchased my 2009 Scion XD from Toyota of Wallingford back in 2008 and since then have always had them for all service/check ups. I have to drive up there from Stamford every time but am willingly doing back in 2008 and since then have always had them for all service/check ups. I have to drive up there from Stamford every time but am willingly doing so instead of taking any risk trying unknown others. They are extremely friendly as well as professional and absolutely worth spending my 2 hours for a round trip. For example, in my most recent experience with them, there was an accident on the way and I had to miss my original appointment and called them to reschedule, but Karen squeezed me in the afternoon on same day. I was lucky there was a room for the day but it was impossible if Karen had not actively helped me. After service was done, Jon explained very nicely and kindly what was done and what else needed for next steps. This is just one example - I have always had a great experience with them and trust whatever they do. Every single person in the service center truly is the best in class. Last but not least, this is my first review on any dealers and I even registered for this site only to upload my review for Toyota of Wallingford. More

I called the service Dept. and asked to speak with I called the service Dept. and asked to speak with service manager because my car had a horrible break problem and they did service on my car 6 weeks I called the service Dept. and asked to speak with service manager because my car had a horrible break problem and they did service on my car 6 weeks previously. Karen brought me in the same day I called, brought me into the service area and had a mechanic show me each break. The job was done without any charge to me, She gave me an almost new car to use until my car was fixed, free of charge. Everyone was so friendly and polite and knowledgeable that my bad experience became a good experience with Toyota of Wallingford. Now I know why they are #1 in Connecticut. More
