Purchase of 2018 Camry We are a three time returning customer to Wallingford Toyota. The lease on our 2015 Camry was up for renewal and Mike was very helpful in showing us We are a three time returning customer to Wallingford Toyota. The lease on our 2015 Camry was up for renewal and Mike was very helpful in showing us a new 2018 Camry. They searched and found a car which was the model and color we requested. It was available for pick up within a couple of days. The car options were explained clearly at the time of delivery. We were extremely pleased with everyone we dealt with. More

Awful experience and dishonest sales representatives If you want a good lemon, go see Mike Cote and Steve Zion Jr. of Toyota of Wallingford. They sold me a used car and within a few days of using the veh If you want a good lemon, go see Mike Cote and Steve Zion Jr. of Toyota of Wallingford. They sold me a used car and within a few days of using the vehicle it was found that the front defroster was not working. Car was brought back to Wallingford Toyota several times and we were always told that there was no problem. While still under warranty, the check engine light also went on and the service employees of Wallingford Toyota wanted nothing to do with the vehicle and continuously avoided the problem. Due to the fact that the check engine light remained on after being "serviced" by Wallingford Toyota, we brought the car to get code checked and it read that there was a misfire on coil 4. The service employee told us that they had swapped coil 4 and coil 3 which in turn swapped the misfiring code to coil 3. Needless to say, over the course of the 2 years that we have owned this car, we have continuously put money into the car totaling at least $2000. At this point in time, the car needs major engine repair that could have been avoided had Toyota of Wallingford stood by their warranty and fixed the car at the time of purchase. If they were a stand up business, they would buy the car back in full; however, they want absolutely nothing to do with it. At the time of purchase I was a 17 year old high school student that had saved up my own money to purchase this car and now being a full-time college student, I do not have a car to get me through the rest of college. It is terrible that Mike Cote, the salesperson who was well aware of the repairs the car needed, sold me this car anyway knowing that I was a young high school student. I am aware that he has daughters of his own and I know that he would be enraged if someone took advantage of his daughters the way he took advantage of me by selling me this vehicle. I absolutely do not recommend Toyota of Wallingford to ANYONE; you will end up spending thousands of dollars for absolutely nothing but a headache. More

Mike Cote is the best- he is professional, patient and has your best interest in mind when helping you choose the right car! From the front desk to the service department, everyone is beyond friendly and makes any trip there enjoyable. More

Dishonest sale people and sale manager If I can give this dealer a Zero star, I would. This is a very bad dealership, dishonest sale people and even the sale manager is a liar too. I know o If I can give this dealer a Zero star, I would. This is a very bad dealership, dishonest sale people and even the sale manager is a liar too. I know other people had experience with this dealership too. Look out for these people: Dave Blackert, Jairo Marmolejos , and this unfriendly jerk Mike Cote, this jerk really needs a serious training of how to deal with other people. This dealership think they do enough business so they don't care about their customers, they don't even bother to follow up with their customers, usually if you want to sell a car to a customer, you would follow up with the customer many times, yes it's annoying and some customer don't like that, but at least it shows that they care. This place, no, they don't follow up or anything. the sale manager Dave Blackert just sat on his comfort chair as we walked out the door, he didn't even bother to stop us and ask us to work the deal out. They judge customer by their look, their race. It's not professional. I finally got my new car at a much better and professional dealership! Too bad for this dealership. I will tell all the people that I know to stay away from this dealership. More
