I grew up in a small town in New England and moved to FL in high school. My first car was a 1986 Toyota Celica. I worked in motorcycles for 10 years and now have found my home at Gatorland Toyota.

After the deal was done and the vehicle delivered I asked a favor of Kyle. Without hesitation he followed up on my request. That wins points in my book. I was in retail for thirty years and twenty of those a a favor of Kyle. Without hesitation he followed up on my request. That wins points in my book. I was in retail for thirty years and twenty of those as an owner. Having someone that goes the extra mile with no gain in it for themselves identifies a valuable employee. I've employed both and from experience I'd say Kyle was one of the "good guys." It's an interesting time to buy a vehicle. Limited supply and plenty of demand makes getting a satisfactory deal for the buyer a challenge. I shopped a couple of dealers that have really exploited the market with predatory pricing. I will remember that when I go shopping again. Gatorland is not perfect but they come pretty close. Suffice it to say that I left satisfied with a new SUV. Also, one of Kyle's bosses put an exclamation point on my experience so kudos to Ryan Wise for that. I also worked with Jean Aquino and he's a good guy too. Terry Moo ps: I'll be asking Kyle for more "how to" information. I have no doubt that he will answer the call. More

I'm pissed because the name I put on the financial form was not the name put into the computer. I guess the guy thought he knew my name better than me. Now I have a checking account opened in the wrong nam was not the name put into the computer. I guess the guy thought he knew my name better than me. Now I have a checking account opened in the wrong name. I haven't received paperwork on the car loan yet but I bet it's in the wrong name too. This was not the name on all the paperwork I signed so it pisses me off that this happened. All the guy had to do was take 10 seconds to verify my name instead of changing it. They also asked for my ID after the information was already entered in the system. The sales guy told me that the guy thought I didn't write my full name so he changed it. I'm not happy about it. By the way my name is just Kim, not Kimberly. More
