Have been using service department for the last 3 plus years and have always received very good service.
Great customer service we’d appreciate more service coupons! My vehicle was serviced promptly, I was treated with respect and my advisor was professional and also friendly.
Great experience always at this dealership. They always keep my car running. I prefer this dealership over others.
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. We also had a warning on dash because the hood was not fully closed. Service advisor was Drew Holstein but he is not listed in the Service Dept.
Great service and great personnel. I would definitely recommend Toyota of Gastonia for services needed.
Great service on 12/20/21 by Travis. He was quick, thorough, & helpful. Much appreciated. Plan to come back.
Always excellent service, since we have multiple vehicles they know us and never have any issues. Never any unexpected fees and always explain in detail if they do find something more than we came in for.
Everyone I have met at Toyota in Gastonia has been so kind and professional. They want to be sure that you are satisfied with the work and cost of what needs to be done. I would recommend this location to anyone.. They have taken care of every Toyota that I have owned. Very happy.
Always a good experience at this dealership, especially the service department. We have all of our service done here on our 2012 vehicle.
Someone approached me as soon as I drove up and was very friendly and listened to what I had to say.
No pressure, knowledgeable sales representatives, awesome service, staff, and vehicles make Toyota of Gastonis the number one dealership.

Toyota of Gastonia has by far the best customer service of anywhere I have experienced. I have noticed how courteous they are to everyone within my earshot.
We have been doing service with Toyota of Gastonia since 2003. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful.
I have been a client there many years and I feel that the dealership has always treated me fairly.🥰
Jim listened to my issue with my car regarding my driver’s side low beam light being inoperable. I had a request and he fulfilled it without ignoring me and was able to find the solution in no time.
Great service! Performed standard maintenance. Great communication! Would highly recommend Toyota of Gastonia to all my friends.
Very fast and efficient. East to book an appointment that was convenient for me. We have used this dealership for over 20 years.
Great Service. I worked at TOG for 19 years and it’s always going to be my place.
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. They are always reliable, helpful and courteous and make the transition from one car to another quick and efficient. Thank you and a special thanks to Beverly Meriweather who handled my latest purchase.
They’re 5 star rating is all about their customer service. Be it for parts, sales and/or car repairs/maintenance. Employees are so personable and nice!
Always friendly and willing to explain what needs to be done. Prompt.
Everyone was very professional and I got in and out within an hour. I enjoyed the waiting area and had some coffee. Everything was clean.
Professional, knowledgeable, communication via text, reachable, courteous, timely, and reliable.
Mr. Ligeon was very professional and advised me of the things that needed to be done on the car along with the prices of the items.
They were polite and friendly. I came in for an oil change and a tire rotation and it was done well before they said it would be. I also had a few additional questions and they took all the time I needed to answer my questions.
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?
Honest with what is required, what is recommended and what could wait. Only feedback wish could provide a little more info on how long each service would take. Overall great experience. Will be back.
Made an appointment to obtain scheduled Toyota maintenance (Appointment was easy to make). My SUV was taken right in. I was notified by text by text message, everything was done in less than 2 hours.

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.
Always friendly, informative and have great customer service. thanks for all that you do. always call when my car is ready to pickup. fast service
When ever my car needs anything I take it to Toyota of Gastonia! Great team Great Service all the time and every time. Mark takes great care of everything and goes the extra step to ensure the total service is top quality every time.
Made the service as easy as possible. Mark seems to really care about you. Stellar experience again with Mark Linton. He is a integral part of a needed turnaround in the Service Dept.

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.
Great service department, very upfront and will do what's in there Power to make your visit pleasant. Can be a little higher cost at times, but make up for it with customer service and work quality.
I have been a customer since march 2004. I met Kim on the day of purchase. She has always been the same person. Her quality of service has never changed. Also she has great staff working in the service area. They are the greatest!
Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great great Great great
Great job! Bryan Lopes and everyone in the service area always provides stellar service. The young lady Cashier in the Service area on 03/08/21 at 10:00am. Thanks for the service!
Immediate service provided to quickly fix oil leak. Service agent kept me informed of status of service and repair. Checkout was quick and easy. Follow up scheduled.
I chose Toyota of Gastonia because I have been a long time Toyota owner. Toyota of Gastonia has always provided excellent service. Everyone I have worked with has been thorough, kind, and courteous.
Extremely nice and wait time was at a minimum. Service department was very friendly. I’m also glad that you are still servicing coffee. Great job!
Great service, timely communications, fair prices, and great at customer relations. I was kept aware of all aspects of my service and pick time available.
I think the service took a little longer for oil change and battery replacement. But taking for other consideration on other diagnosis may be ok..
Dan did a great job. Listened to my problem and got me in and out in no time. Did a great job explaining the cost of the new battery. Thanks Dan.
Kandy was very helpful and so was Dan Driver i love my new trundra the dealer ship found what i was looking for in a truck

Very friendly staff and quick service. Cindy was very friendly when checking me in and vehicle was ready in the time promised. Lobby area was clean and free coffee appreciated
Great experience. They were all very friendly, and helpful and worked w/Mike Cavallo who was very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend Toyota of Gastonia to anyone. I do wish the dealership had a carwash! 🙂
I had a good experience as usual. The staff is great and always very informative. Keep up the work. Dealership needs to get a car wash.
I'm impressed with the service and staff at Toyota of Gastonia. The pleasant attitude and positive staff make it a joy to have my cars serviced there.
Great service department. No complaints. We really like our 4-runner. We would recommend this dealership to anyone. We love the warranty and not having to pay for the service. Not sure who waited on us. I checked a name but that may not be the correct one.
They did a fantastic job. The wait wasn’t long and customer service was great. They were a lot cheaper than the Lexus dealership. I will definitely be back.
I had a great experience as always! Kim over the service department is the best and so welcoming and pleasant to deal with. Thank you
Great service. I've been a customer for a long time. They were very friendly and let me know exactly what was going on with my car & what it needed & how much it was gonna cost.
They were very courteous and The salesman that approached me knew my name from the scheduled appointment. They were prompted and were able to meet my need.
Great service! Been Toyota of Gastonia customer since 1996! Tacoma headlight replacement total was a little expensive at $508.29! But at lease I don't have Covid 19!
I've been a customer for over 20 years, Jimisha and Kim are very attentive to the customer. Quality of service has been spot on.
Pleasant greeting by Cindy Goydich. Thorough explanation of the work done on my car and what I might expect if the parking brake issue was not solved. I worked with none of the people listed below.
Good service, very considerate employees. Even though my problem was not fixed. The process was started. I would not hesitate to use Toyota of Gastonia again!
They were very friendly and let me know exactly what was going on with my car & what it needed & how much it was gonna cost,I take my car there when it needs any kind of sevice,& I know work on my vehicle is guaranteed.
We just love Toyota Gastonia. We use to hate the time our lease was up, now it is a pleasure to get a new Toyota. Tracy is such a wonderful sales person. He always tries to get us a great deal.
Went for oil change and tire rotation. Was very pleased with the service! Was very happy with the help Justin Okraska gave use in locating a part we needed for my car!
Excellent in every way possible.They go above and beyond. Professional and courteous. Highly recommended. I won’t go anywhere else for service. Best service department ever.
I made my service appointment on line and was well pleased with the service provided.The service team member was courteous and helpful.I especially like that he did not badger me about other recommended service that can be done at a later date.
Always excellent customer service. Always ON TIME and work done within time frame quoted. Pleasant staff, nice waiting area. No pressure to perform suggested work.
I have used Toyota for vehicle purchase for several years. The service is outstanding and so are the sakes staff and finance department. I always walk away satisfied. My salesman this time JD Yepez was outstanding!!
Over all good job. Was waiting for a good while likea hour and half. Also could be cheaper on price or send coupons out before I have it done.
Very kind, easy to talk to, listened carefully, great communication and attention to detail. I live in TN but get all my work done here when I visit family during the holidays and summer. I could not be more pleased with a dealership. I bought my first Highlander from your dealership nearly twenty years ago. I like the fact that you don’t pressure folks into repairs they don’t need.
I HAD MY NEW 2020 TOYATO TACOMA IN FOR ITS 10,000,00 MILE SERVICE ALTHOUGH IT ONLY HAS 3100 MILES ON IT.. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TIME AND THEY TOOK IT RIGHT IN.
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.
