Good quick service for my first visit. I’ll be back for regular maintenance soon.
Good service . My service guy was very friendly and helpful but I didn’t like that I couldn’t get an exact price of what my vehicle would cost before I left.
Always great service by the team and good coffee in the waiting room. Thank you!
Helen worked tirelessly to answer all of my questions and was able to pivot quickly when my plans changed.
The dealership is close, clean and professional. Great staff. Kim and the Shop Manager run a tight ship. I like that.
Great experience. The new videos are a nice feature and checkout has vastly improved from the past.
Paul was very helpful and pointed me toward a vehicle that knew nothing about but that fit all my criteria, which were numerous and very specific. Really thought I was gonna have to compromise and just deal with my issues, but this vehicle is working well...except for the pathetic 12mpg gas mileage, but I went into that with my eyes open.
Customer service was excellent, the service department was excellent and very helpful. Overall a great experience.
Toyota of Gastonia’s Service Department let me pick an appointment date and time online as well as my service advisor. Devon helped me to get an appointment with collision to align my hood so it will close.
Service department is always helpful and eager to go the extra mile to keep the customer satisfied.
I was very pleased with my visit. Been doing business for many years. Thank you
Nothing could be better than this dealership! From the time I pull in to the time my car is ready A+ service, customer care and kindness.
Eddie has always been super helpful. For this service, I needed to out by 11am anD Eddie and the team got me out by 10:30am. Thank you, Eddie!
Very professional, welcoming, on schedule with great communication throughout the service. Thank you for the support
Every service visit I’ve had at Toyota of Gastonia has been outstanding. The ease of check-in, the staff who truly seem to enjoy helping customers, the fair pricing, the relaxing ambiance of the waiting area are all reasons i continue to have my Toyota serviced here.
Service on my Camry was great. Met at pulling in, given video during process , then copy of bill charges upon completion. All questions answered and service was done in a professional manner, as always at Toyota of Gastonia. Thank you!!!!
Helen Scott is my sales agent She is very welcoming and very helpful to me and so much fun to talk too. If you want toyota car in Gastonia find Helen Scott.
Helen of Toyota of Gastonia was great. I was clear I was "Just looking" and she was kind enough to text me every few weeks to let me know if the vehicle came in that I've been waiting on to see. Its still not in but wanted to point out she is not pushy or bothersome. My son ended up buying a new vehicle and she was a great help.
Sales rep Christian Hill was excellent! 5 Star+. Prompt replies to each inquiry/email. Very professional and straight forward. Good listener as he noted my concerns and desires. Everything at Toyota of Gastonia was first class.
Good experience all round with solid advice, no “nightmare car salesman” shenanigans trying to sell an option list longer than my arm, and an efficient service center with a comfortable waiting area and reliable WiFi (for working while I wait!)
Excellent service experience. Vehicle appointment process via website worked seamlessly. Appreciate thoroughness of inspection and recommendations. Quality of work exceptional.
Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Easy to get an appointment and they get you in and out quickly.
Rear brakes and low tire sensor. However there were black grease marks left on the (tan) door jam, (tan) floor mat.. Had to clean when I noticed them when I got home.
Everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. They make the buying process pleasant and easy. It is a very well run dealership!
Fast oil change and 30,000 mile services. Ordered exterior trim parts to be installed when parts arrive.
Everyone was so nice and professional and everything was done in a timely manner great service today
Toyota of Gastonia is always courteous and extremely expeditious with my service or repairs. Highly recommend.
This turned out to be the same place where I bought my previous car namely Momentum Mazda which is owned by Toyota of Gastonia now which I didn't know until after I signed the papers!!! They knocked of $500 of the quoted price. They don't give any kind of service warranty for the vehicle for 30 or 60 days which a lot of places do which is a bummer! But I am happy with the purchase overall. Hope the car lives up to my expectations! Antonio Ponder was easy to work with.
Outstanding personal service with technical expertise to match. I wouldn't trust my 2008 Tacoma with anyone else.
Always excellent. Based on what I hear from people's experiences at other dealerships, Toyota of Gastonia must be the best. Thank you!
I’m grateful they have later hours during the week to have my car serviced. The staff is kind and always helpful. My 2009 Corolla has over 170k miles and still running great, thanks to preventative maintenance and also because it’s a Toyota.
We have driven Toyotas for years. Toyota of Gastonia, by far, is the best dealership we have dealt with. Scheduled maintenance, state inspections, unscheduled emergencies are all dealt with in a timely and professional manner. The facility is always clean. Thank you so much Toyota of Gastonia!
Staff in the collision center was extremely helpful and took card of everything. Isurance claims and all. I highly reccomend Toyota of Gastonia!.
I had a flat tire and had purchased the tires from Toyota. They checked their records and covered the cost of the tire repair.
Kandy Jennings is awesome. We have bought multiple vehicles from her and have never been disappointed. Josh Hudgins was a great help with completing our deal.
It feels pretty good, but I don't know how long my brake pads will last, hope you can explain more specifically in the future
I have service centers closer but I drive the extra mile to get your AAA SERVICE
Top-notch, quality service. This dealership makes owning a Toyota a pleasure. Thanks from the bottom our hearts!
Professional, friendly and efficient service. Until construction is finished, better signage for the service department would have been helpful.

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!!
Absolutely excellent service from the time you drop off your car til your car is serviced!
I’m satisfied with the service and honesty . Thankful for my cars are done there
I have done business with this dealership since 2014. Great people, fast and friendly! Thanks.

Very clean/attractive facility; good service hours, very friendly & knowledgeable staff.; repairs were completed on a timely basis; very convenient location for me.

Very friendly service person. helpful with things that need to be done to car. Would recommend to any one.
Very friendly service representatives, great waiting area and quick service. I would recommend and will definitely use them again for service on my Tacoma.
Always have a pleasant experience with Toyota of Gastonia. The service associates are always friendly and helpful.
We arrived at the appointed time and were greeted in the bay by Devon. He was efficient and cordial. The overall wait for the service (oil change and tire rotation) was one hour.
Easy to make appointment Friendly staff Explains anything that need’s extra work Great job
They were fast with the battery repair and terminal replacement. The price was also a good deal.
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.
Always friendly and professional. Inspection completed in less time than promised and cost is comparable to other companies.
Arrived a few minutes before my 12:15 service appointment: and got a courtesy phone call at 12:37 that my car was 'ready'; need I say more, this was the absolute most prompt, professional service experience ever! Thank you Gastonia Toyota for once again exceeding my expectations! Bravo!
excellent service, wonderful customer service , Angel discussed with me personally all of the details for both cars,,, thank you Toyota of Gastonia for your service.
Been going here for about thirty years. I have always been happy with my treatment and the cars. I love Toyota!!!
I appreciate Mark Linton and the great customer service he gives me. He's easy going, very nice to work with, knowledgeable and upfront with my Highlander needs and cost. You are fortunate to have Mark working for your organization.
Very quick check in, keeps you informed with what is going on so you have no surprises. Love receiving the rewards cash for future visits.
Will always buy my tires here with the road hazard warranty. Great Deal! Thanks again!
Efficient, organized, and great service. Easy to schedule and was kept informed throughout the service visit. thanks!
Awesome service in a timely manner. Had 2 vehicles serviced in a 3 hour time frame.
I was a walk-in customer for an oil change. The service was quick, and the service assistant was pleasant to work with.
Service was timely was kept informed. Dealership was extremely clean & social distancing was set up. I do miss popcorn which was available before COVID
Antonio is a awesome sales rep for company. Straight up and easy to deal with. Thanks Scott
Purchased our car here the end of August 2021. Took it yesterday for our 10,000 miles service check. In and out in exactly 1 hour.
