It is a great dealership. Very friendly and reliable. Managers and service employees are well versed. My loyalties will always be with Toyota of Gastonia.
Though this ended up not being the right vehicle for me I want to give this dealership credit for being the most tentative and courteous. They responded to every question quickly and sent over some great videos and details about the vehicle. Blake did all he could to help so at least a positive review for his efforts

I have a 2009 Camry which needed a 200K maintenance service. All inspection items were completed except for tires, and everything went perfectly, and in a timely manner. All employees at the dealership were courteous and helpful, especially Mike, my new service advisor. We agreed together on what needed to get done, and he also helped me price some tires for my next visit. Glad to be back, and hopefully it will just be oil changes for my next visits in the future. The car is rock in’ like new now!
I have been dealing with Toyota of Gastonia since I arrived in N.C. 16 years ago and have returned to them for service and purchases of new cars since then.

This was probably the best experience we have had buying a car. Craig is a great salesman, absolutely no pressure!!! He lets us look the car over for as long as we wanted, then took us for a test drive, all of this before anyone said anything about money. The finance guy Taz was also great to deal with. He understood that this was a purchase for our son who is in college and went the extra mile to help us out with the right warranty for our situation. This was our first time shopping at Toyota of Gastonia, and ...
The people were great and the product is very good! The time spent there for these great products was way too long., which is not the fault of the workers, so it only leaves management and we all know the boss is always right., Rule #1.
