I’ve only been selling cars for a short time, but my love of cars has been around for years! My first car was a 2001 Mustang when I was 16, which I restored and still own today. I am also recent college graduate for marketing.

If you’re looking for a car with a dealership who can help you reach your goal, Cochran Toyota is that dealer. I’ve selected a specific 2023 Toyota model, trim and color for my wife. Today the car market help you reach your goal, Cochran Toyota is that dealer. I’ve selected a specific 2023 Toyota model, trim and color for my wife. Today the car market is the most difficult ever. Buying a new car was never a problem in the past. One could order a favorite car trim for about 20% off manufacturer suggested price on average. Today most car dealers dropped M from MSRP. Manufacturer suggestions are ignored. Prices increased exorbitantly. Massively expensive and bogus unwanted add-ons, spread like plaque. For example, many dealers charge extra for air in tires. They inform gullible customers that nitrogen prevents rim rust. Uneducated buyers are not aware 80% of air is nitrogen. Steel rims are coated to prevent internal rust, and aluminum rim does not oxidize at all. Some dealers pack LoJack even if not ordered. Few thousand $ market adjustment is the new national norm. First I visited a few of my local Chicagoland dealers. One created a $40 thousand price for a $30 thousand MSRP car and could not even clearly articulate all price components. Another local dealer asked me to sign a declaration that my car preference will take 6 to 9 months to arrive. IT WAS MY WAKE UP CALL. I started searching nationwide. One way flight is usually only around $200. Contacting many Toyota dealers, I have encountered the same grim situation across the country. Omnipresent lack of transparency together with bait and switch tactics. Using cargurus.com I have contacted over twenty Toyota dealers. I have found two decent ones, but only Cochran Toyota delivered! I recommend the Cochran Toyota team: Joe Cowser, Eric Golembieski, Chad Halsted, Mark Kromel, Leonard Adams and Kyle Collins. INTEGRITY, KNOWLEDGE, COMMUNICATION AND EFFICIENCY. My deal was fast, because I already knew the car and did not need to test it. I was allowed to pay online with a bank wire transfer. I emailed needed documents. I even was able to exchange electronically signatures on my retail purchase agreement. Elsewhere obtaining a copy of Monroney Label ( windows sticker) was a problem. Many other dealers post default pictures on their website. Customers may never know if a car is really on the lot or not. Car color then is also a puzzle. There is no way to know the out of the door price without physically visiting those dealers. All their effort is dedicated to harvesting customers' email, telephone and lure them to the site. If they do not buy, they are bombarded with spam and harassed with phone calls to buy what is currently in, not what they ask. THE COCHRAN TOYOTA IS DIFFERENT. The team treats customers like they want to be treated. It is so rare nowadays. We are very happy with our new purchase! THANK YOU COCHRAN TOYOTA! More

I have Let me start by giving a special thanks to Kyle at #1 Cochran Toyota. He was great to work with, easy to talk to, very helpful and informative. I have had some bad experiences with car buying from small, slimy used car dealers in the past. I am happy to say Kyle and the guys at #1 Cochran are far from that. They are fair, straight forward and competitively priced without all the BS. I hope to see them again for my next car purchase. Thanks for my new Jeep! More

Stress-free experience I don’t know if anyone enjoys shopping for a new vehicle. I don’t. But this was possibly the smoothest and easiest experience I have had ever. All par I don’t know if anyone enjoys shopping for a new vehicle. I don’t. But this was possibly the smoothest and easiest experience I have had ever. All parties were knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. Because of my work schedule, everything was done on line or by phone. Kyle couldn’t have been any better to work with. He truly loves cars, and it shows! He even brought my new truck to my house as soon as I got home from work. For me, an ideal car buying experience. Thanks Kyle! More

Quick and convenient I was very impressed to find out that the man I made my appointment with (Kyle) came in special on his day off to meet and greet my wishes. Going to b I was very impressed to find out that the man I made my appointment with (Kyle) came in special on his day off to meet and greet my wishes. Going to be totally honest I think the car was a bit overpriced but I absolutely love it. Not sure why the car wasn’t cleaned before I got there, was a bit confused about that. But overall my experience was very pleasant. More

Exceptional Love my Toyota. This is my 3rd new Toyota. I started with a Toyota Celica, then a Toyota 4Runner (SR5). After 190,000 miles and 20 years, it was tim Love my Toyota. This is my 3rd new Toyota. I started with a Toyota Celica, then a Toyota 4Runner (SR5). After 190,000 miles and 20 years, it was time to research and choose my next Toyota. Kyle Collins was exceptional with a wealth of knowledge about the new 2019 RAV4. He was patient with my endless questions and ensured he understood my concerns. He explained the safety features and even made me aware of things I didn’t think to ask. This was the most positive and painless experience in car shopping. Kyle was professional, courtesy and well informed about the vehicle. When my vehicle was delivered he demonstrated the features that he knew were most important to me. Charlie Smith was professional and knew how to work through the paperwork challenges efficiently and effectively. He is well versed in all aspects of the warranty and service. He also understood and was able to easily process my address challenges. The manager, Nolan Brink supported his team and mirrored the customer service excellence that I expect from Toyota. Kudos to the entire Cochran Team that processed my new Toyota RAV4, Limited Hybrid. More
