Excellent service ! Service department was very helpful and courteous.. Clean waiting area.
Did not get an appt. but service was prompt and everyone was very helpful.
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
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.
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
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.
The only place to get my car serviced is Toyota of Gastonia! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They always review my car's needs with me and make sure that I know the cost before the work is done. The facility is very clean and pleasant. Thank you Toyota of Gastonia!!

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.
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.
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

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.
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.
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!
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.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and quick service. Explained all the service done to vehicle. Was able to use coupons received in mail towards payment for service
Went in to view a 2016 Camry and walked out 3 hours later with a 2017 Camry with a extended warranty that was still within my price range. Ricardo was extremely helpful and did everything he could to show me their available vehicles as well as to help get the price down to get an agreeable number. There was no pressure to buy from him until I said I wanted to talk numbers then the back and forth began. Car was detailed and gassed up for free with my purchase (some dealers charge extra for that now outside of the price of the ...
Took RAV4 in for check engine light without an appointment. Probably was quIckly diagnosed and I was kept informed of parts ordered and repair status.
Customer service was excellent!!! The representative was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained the process. I was able to use my coupons. Keep up the good work.
Everyone was very helpful, great to work with. They worked hard to get me what I needed. I would highly recommend Toyota of Gastonia my friends.
Chris Hughes went over and above to get what I wanted, He took care of my needs from start to finish. Great Dealership. I am a repeat customer, and will be again.
Sales person was Rubin. He was always on time with a response when I reached out to him. He will be a great, non-aggressive but persistent sales person as he gains experience.
Great service. Thank You My waiting time was minimal. The service Technician was courteous and efficient. He kept me informed of the status of my vehicle and the length of time expected for completion.
Jess checked me in and was very attentive. When my service was finished he made sure I understood everything that was done. He was very kind and professional. Rocco worked on our car and as usual he did an outstanding job. He has worked on our car and truck for years and always does an excellent job! Very professional!,
Very quick and timely today! This always makes me happy!! My last visit wasn’t as such but today was a different story and that’s good! Thank you!
I was extremely pleased with my latest service visit. They were prompt on my greet and on my servicing. Mark advised of future work needed along with pricing and repair estimates. I was in and out in an hour. Thanks Toyota!!
On my 5th 4Runner Limited..... Best service anywhere on my Toyota’s! I have my entire family doing business in sales & service with TOG!!!! Jacqueline Sullens
This service experience was really great for three reasons: 1. Flexible and accommodating appointments 2. Service rep was courteous and professional 3. There were no attempts to more expensive or unnecessary repairs
Very please with the work done on my SUV . Have front brake resurface the rotor and new pad put on . Take a little bit long but I dont mine
The staff is very friendly. The waiting area is comfortable. They are generally quick completing the service requested. They always ask before doing anything that wasn't communicated upon arrival.
Service Department is under new management and is fantastic again. I look forward to Toyota of Gastonia keeping my Corolla with 230,000 miles on the road for years to come.
Great service. I have been a customer since March 2004, I have always had great service. The staff members have always gone above and beyond to ensure that I was truly satisfied. Thanks KIm Jimisha, Jess, and Scott!
I had them donew car 5000 mile service on our 2020 Prius which was purchased at another dealer. Records of previous service on other vehicles came up and made registration of this car less time consuming. The only issue I have is I did not receive a line by line tasks performed summary.
Quality and timely and affordable service. Friendly staff. Mike in service dept was very helpful and it was a nice benefit to get a loaner car.
Good service, everything was explained to me and was done in a timely manner. Service area was clean and allowed for social distancing All service personel were very friendly..
Quick service the day of, enjoyed the tv channel that was on and the choice in the delicious coffee. The visit went well, and I say thank you. Excellent service today.
I visited the service center on October 7th, 2020, and was helped by Jess Ligeon. He went above and beyond to be helpful and to explain my options; he even agreed to talk to my son on the phone and explained to him what I was not sure I understood. I was extremely pleased with the way Jess handled my repair.
Toyota of Gastiona is the best place the sale are great and service department is great professional and helpful and friendly places I recommend this dealership too ever one
I received great friendly service. My truck was serviced and ready for me to pickup in the time it was promised. Love using the coupons.
I am very pleased with the ease in which I was able to get my Prius serviced yesterday. Check-in was simple, as well as check out. I was pleased that in this Corona environment, staff appeared to be very conscientious.
5 Star all the way. Price/Model/Options/Color: I knew exactly what I wanted and acceptable price range. I got good offer immediately, no BS. The exact car package I wanted was not in inventory. They searched for several days to get me exactly the car I spec'd out. Professional. I initially went to my nearest dealer for pricing/availability. Initially. Not again - next time Gastonia.
Excellent customer service! However, I had a recall taken care of. In my passenger seat all my personable were left there. A ziplock next visit
Quick service and everything was explained. I was able to set up my next appointment for warranty work with ease. Their service department is always accommodating. .
The best car buying experience I have ever had and I am 73. They had the best price by far on first offer. Don't waste you time. Go to a dealer with best price.
Great service, no pressure Toyota is a expensive vehicle, but always worth the price. If I every need another Carl will be back. Enjoyed the experience
I looked at a car 4 or 5 months ago and spoke with Bev. She was so kind, informational and not pushy. When I returned to buy a car I made sure that she received my business. I am very satisfied with the entire process. She made it so easy. My last car was a Toyota Corolla that I had for 12 years. Thank you
I returned for a recall that was identified during a service visit the previous week. It was returned when promised in clean condition with no issues. I am a little disappointed that the only notification from Toyota was that a recall for stalling was in effect with no remedy available. Toyota of Gastonia informed me that the recall was for replacing the fuel pump and parts were available.
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.
