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.

Wonderful Service. Cynthia Goydich went the extra mile to ensure my service was 5 stars. Cynthia's name is not on Service Dept. list. Why?

Did not get an appt. but service was prompt and everyone was very helpful.
Excellent service ! Service department was very helpful and courteous.. Clean waiting area.
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.
Helen Scott was very professional and attentive to my needs had a great experience satisfied with my purchase will recommend highly to all my friends
Excellent, even got a ride to Walmart whilst my vehicle was being serviced! Will always highly recommend Toyota of Gastonia to all my friends! Thanks
The service was good, I had an appointment and was not kept waiting. They got my car in and out in a timely manner and all the staff acted in a professional manner.
Had to wait a few minutes by car for service but they took care of my oil change and needed services in quick time. Thanks so much! I’m
Excellent service. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I was assisted immediately. Every detail was explained to me. I have used Toyota of Gastonia for over twenty years and always received remarkable service. I do not recall my service representative's name, however, he was great and made me feel confident that I would receive the best service for my car.
Quick and efficient service! Everyone I spoke with was professional and knowledgeable. Service appointment began on time and was completed in less than the estimated time.

Walk in customer for oil change. Total wait was about 45 minutes. Great service. Waiting area was comfortable while waiting on the completion of my service.
Love the Gastonia Toyota dearlership because of their friendly atmosphere. Service department is outstanding. Antionio our saleman is always on top of the game to help you out on purchasing a car and gets answers for you quick.
Great service! Jess was so professional! He explained everything that needed to be done to fix our car. He checked on our warranty and saved us lots of money. I really appreciated his concern and help. Rocco, as always, did an excellent job fixing our car.
I've been a customer at TOG since 1996! Great service! Friendly staff, never had any problems! I really like the new coffee machine in the waiting area!
Service is always done promptly and the associates are always courteous and friendly! Did not have to wait very long for my service to be completed
Service was done in a timely manner and was reasonably priced. Made appointment day of and was worked in within an hour. One of the better experiences in a long time
Great people, clean shop, the service team and technicians answered all my technical questions, pleasant experience overall. And maintaining an older Toyota SUV (or most any 10 year old vehicle with 133K miles) is expensive, however, it sure beats having a monthly new car payment!
Quick service. Disappointed that they do not offer car washes. All other dealers ship offer this. This would definitely help me decide to go back
Visit was only for a rear lamp replacement, Service Advisor Mark was very helpful, and replacement was taken care of in a satisfactory and timely manner.
I was pleased with my service on my 1999 Toyota Tacoma and was out within a hour. I will be bringing my Toyota Tacoma back for a oil change when it is due.
The guys and girls at Toyota of Gastonia service department take great care of you from the moment you pull up. Kim does a great job at greeting customers and making sure things go smoothly.
Kandy is so kind and patience. She was very knowledgeable of the vehicles. She took the time to explain thing to me. She was not pushing. Love love her!!!!.
