CONFIDENT. RESPECTED. TAKEN CARE OF. I recently purchased a 2016 Toyota Avalon from this dealership and had a very positive experience from start to finish. RESPECTED. TAKEN CARE OF. I recently purchased a 2016 Toyota Avalon from this dealership and had a very positive experience from start to finish. It’s worth mentioning that I had been searching for a second vehicle for over a month and visited several local dealerships along the way. I also had my personal mechanic inspect multiple vehicles I was seriously considering. For me, those inspection results would ultimately determine both my purchase decision and any potential negotiation. That said, I worked with Shelly Barr as my salesperson, and she was wonderful throughout the entire process, she was professional, patient, knowledgeable and genuinely easy to work with too. Shelly and Finance Manager Mike Audino took the time to put together a financing package that worked for me and made the buying process far less stressful than I expected. One thing I especially appreciated was that they had no issue with me having the vehicle inspected by my own mechanic before moving forward. When a few minor issues were identified, they agreed to address the repairs and stood behind the vehicle. They even provided me with a loaner car while the work was being completed, which made the entire process incredibly convenient. This was my first time buying a used car and nearly a decade since I had stepped into a dealership, so I definitely felt some anxiety and a bit of overwhelm. However, I never felt pressured. Instead, I felt that they genuinely wanted me to be comfortable and confident in my purchase. They followed through on everything they promised and made good on the deal. I’m very happy with my Toyota Avalon and grateful for the professionalism and customer service I received. I would absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a fair and honest car-buying experience. One final thought: the salesperson really does make all the difference. If you’re shopping here, ask for Shelly. Beyond being knowledgeable and professional, she is genuinely kind, caring and sincere and that made all the difference throughout my experience. More

Shelley is an outstanding salesperson. She made my transition from my old vehicle that I have grown very attached to into my new one very easy with her kindness and patience with me. Her k She made my transition from my old vehicle that I have grown very attached to into my new one very easy with her kindness and patience with me. Her knowledge of my new car was phenomenal. I came in looking for a very specific model and make, and I was not certain that it would be at the dealership. Turns out one was delivered first thing that morning, and Shelley knew exactly where it was. She and a colleague went and pulled it out to make sure I was able to drive it. I am so happy that she took care of me because I got my car that I truly wanted. Mike in finance was excellent having all of my paperwork ready so when I came in for my appointment, I was able to take care of all of my papers quickly and start my new journey with my new vehicle. Robert was also very kind. Anytime I need a new car or I know of someone who is looking for one Shelley is going to be my first recommendation with her kindness and knowledge I was very pleased, and this was a very pleasant experience for me.

I just purchased my very first car! Shelly Barr was my sales representative and a delight to work with. She was kind, energetic, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Wh Shelly Barr was my sales representative and a delight to work with. She was kind, energetic, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how personable she was, along with her empathetic nature. She took the time to make me feel comfortable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about helping me find the best deal possible. I also really appreciated seeing strong female representation in the car business, it made the experience feel far less intimidating and much more welcoming as a female myself. Nicolette in financing was also impressive. She was very kind and went above and beyond to secure us a great rate, even staying on top of everything when our bank had already closed for the evening. Her dedication and extra effort did not go unnoticed and made a big difference in our overall experience. More
