Great salesman, easy transaction, very professional and well run dealership! Thanks so much. I love my new car!

I had a very good experience purchasing a used Mazda CX-5 through this dealership (Mazda of Gastonia). Dion (salesman) was helpful to me without being at all pushy. I enjoyed getting to know him, and I was very happy with my purchase. The only disappointment was that I didn't learn until the purchase was complete that there was only one key for the car. I would rather have know sooner, since I will need a 2nd key.
I have been using Toyota of Gastonia since I moved here in 2006. I even purchased my first Toyota from them. Since 2006 I have serviced all my cars with them and made sure to purchase several more from them.
Love my Toyota Dealership, professional, honest, and super great people!! Have been serviced here for the last 13 years...Amazing!!

I has purchased a new Rav 4 in 2021 at Toyota of Gastonia and was totally satisfied with Rick Shepherd and Toyota of Gastonia that I came back in October of 2022 when I needed a used car for my daughter at college. Rick was very professsional, kind, answered all my calls and emails quickly. He sent me videos of the car and resolved a minor issue I had after I picked up the car. I felt like they treated me honestly. That's all I really care about. Then the Toyota sells itself, as long as the dealership is honest. Thanks Rick ...
Excellent service, I will continue to go get my truck serviced there. Maybe even buy my next vehicle from there.
Great customer service! I was in and out in less than 30 minutes for 25k service.
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
Service department has always been wonderful and friendly. They are the reason I keep coming back since buying our car in 2015.
We've bought several vehicles here, all from Robert Jackson who always gives us superb treatment.

The service was carried out very quickly. However, we realized later that we were charged $10 for window tint testing and our car does not have any after market tinting.
