Jesse is amazing. He spent many hours helping me and my family of 5 look at new Toyota’s. His knowledge of them all was amazing and he was great at answering all my technical questions. Thank you so much! Your atmosphere is fresh and friendly. Also their Finance team is great! Dave was able to exceed my highest expectations and with his expertise and the process was easy and fast so I could drive my new car home. This is our second Toyota and our family is thankful that this Dealership shows a lot of love and care from the first time we visited with only questions about the cars. The Parts department is very accurate and knowledgeable of all the accessories for our cars without even having to look them up. When I bought my Camry I also ordered the all weather floor mat kit for my wife’s Sienna and I was able to pick them up the next day as promised! I have had service’s performed on my car here and the service staff were very friendly and prompt. They quickly got me to the rental department for my loaner car and I was back on my way to work. The repairs by their Technicians was of the highest quality and I enjoyed seeing new parts installed and how clean my car was kept. I have sent family here and they have purchased vehicles from Gladstone Toyota and are just as happy as we are.

We had an idea of a car I wanted. Found one at your dealership that checked all the boxes. Our car dealer was able to answer all the questions we had and there were no high pressure tactics and no going back and forth to the wizard a million times. at the end of the day I drove away with that car and it was so seamless. Super easy transaction. Great people at Gladstone Toyota.

I was not looking forward to helping my sister buy a new car, as I have been to shady dealerships one too many times. I was ready for a fight, for some high-pressure sales tactics, and then for the numbers we agreed upon to not match up when we finally make it to the paperwork. And I can tell you, I was dead wrong. Carl, Sammy, and Bryan took care of us from start to finish. These gentlemen were both professional and kind and made sure we left feeling good about our purchase and our total interaction with each of them. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle, do your due-diligence and look around, and then get over to Toyota of Gladstone and ask for Carl, because I am confident he will treat you with the same level of kindness and honesty he demonstrated to us.

My experience buying a part from this dealership: On my lunch I called and asked if a specific part was in stock, I had my VIN ready, the part number, and provided names that the part is commonly known as on other sites. The man I spoke to on the phone was very helpful, knowledgeable, and got my part ordered to be picked up by end of day. After work I rushed over and was less impressed with service; after learning this may have been a less experienced crew member I found my previous review mildly harsh. I do believe in order to work in a parts department, all employees must be very familiar with the system or common part names before working with customers directly. I would return here for parts matters if necessary.

Had a really excellent experience working with Marco to purchase a new Prius Prime. He was the perfect balance of helpful without being too aggressive and kept us feeling at ease with what was obviously a big decision. He also worked extremely hard to find a price point that worked for everyone, and we greatly appreciated it. We would definitely purchase a car from Marco again! Additionally, the fact that we could do much of the paperwork online was really helpful and the in-person work and signing process was a breeze.

The service was outstanding. Duy "Dewey" Dang is the sale-person i started. He made the purchase super easy. He explained the in and out of the vehicle and pointed most people miss. Dewey was very honest and direct. He was very knowledgeable about the car.

Purchased a 2017 Tacoma from this dealership. The sales person Kenny Khzam was very courteous and professional. The dealership did not have a truck with all the features I wanted. Mr. Khzam was able to help me track down a truck I wanted. The truck took about a week to arrive and, surely, has everything I asked for. Good place to buy a car.

I have never had a good experience buying a car from a dealership. I can now says that I have, from having Kermit be my salesman. We talked over what I needed and he out me in the perfect vehicle for my price range and needs. It was a great experience from sales all the way to financing.

I've never bought a new vehicle before and was very apprehensive about the whole deal. Kermit was super awesome and friendly and made me feel so comfortable. Coming to Toyota of Gladstone was worth the drive from Lebanon.

I recently was at Gladstone Toyota to get a new headlight and also inquired about another potential problem in my 2010, 95,000 Prius. While there I began to think about trading my car in for a newer one that I could also keep for a very long time.Donie Montgomery helped me look at the 2016 and 2017 Priuses and could not have been more helpful in explaining the differences, possible trade in value for my car and how the process worked.She wasn't pushy and I left, knowing I had to check my own financial situation to see if this would work.By the next day I had figured it all out and came in to get exactly what I wanted. We worked out all of the details and I was able to leave that evening with my new car!The only complaint I had was how long it took. I had to wait quite a while.The very next morning I was at a stop light and BANG! Someone hit me from behind! Luckily it was only the lower bumper. I took it back to Gladstone and they looked at it and helped me work with their people to get it replaced easily. I spoke with several people who couldn't have been more helpful. All is well!Thank you!

Nick Neimeyer, and Wade from internet sales, are awesome sales people and have worked hard each time to get me and my wife in our now 4th vehicle. They don't try and sell you on cars you don't want just because it's easier sale for them, they truly try and sell you on the car you want. And if you aren't happy they really don't hassle you, but so far we haven't had a chance to not be happy. We have even sent others to them because it's that kind of dealership Toyota is. My wife and I have get discriminated against often as a gay couple and they have been so open and treat us like any other couple/family coming in to purchase a vehicle. They are respectful, honest, and up front and have yet to lead us a stray. We were refused before by broken down car dealerships, then ended up at Toyota and have bought 4 new vehicles from them in the last 2 years with less than great credit. We have already decided that when it comes to our 5th and 6th we will be back again to give them a hard time trying to approve a sale, but they will get it done. :)

Where do I start? Khazam was amazing! He didn't pressure me into anything answered my questions and listened. We came in for a service check on our Yaris and drove off in a 2017 Carolla! He got the price we wanted and we left happy.

Duy was kind and helpful. He allowed us to test drive and explained to us the finance option. Scott was straight forward and ensure that we get the deal that we want. My experience with Toyota Gladstone is great. This is my second purchase here. Most likely will visit here again.

Thanks to Kenny Khzam and Toyota of Gladstone for coming through for me and getting me the deal I wanted. I love my new 2017 Rav 4! It's my third one over the years from Gladstone and I'm quite pleased. Thank you!

I was in getting my truck serviced when I met Mr Khazam. He said that he could get me into a new Tundra with a good price on my trade. I entertained the thought, and we started our dealings. After several meetings,and typical sales tactics aside, we cut a good deal as promised. I promised to give him an acceptional rating as well. Khazam, thank you for your time an efforts in this process...MY NEW TRUCK IS AWESOME!!!

You have heard it before but its true. I just stopped to take a look at the Highlanders. However, I was fortunate enough to have Pasha "PJ" Jefferson approach me. She appeared as a friend and not as someone who was going to talk me into purchasing a car. Her patience, willingness to give objective advice and direction, as opposed to pushing me towards an established path, caused me subsequently purchase a Highlander. I am very impressed with Pasha's ability to provide outstanding Customer Service. She could teach a class on the subject.

Angel is one of the few people i have met with great customer skills. She took so much effort in giving me the best rate that i could get. Hassle free experience and i didn't need to sit in the showroom and bug them. The whole process was smooth and the credit goes to Angel.

This dealership is crooked. The service department man who greeted us didn't greet us at all. He took my keys and walked away. The service department could not fix the lemon that this dealer sold us so when we returned it 14 days later with hopes of a car that worked, they refused to give us our money back or honor the money we bought it for. HORRIBLE PEOPLE!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE!!!

Kermit Steward is a great salesman, he is very professional. He answers all questions, he is very patient with me giving him a description of what I was looking for in a truck. This is the 4th truck I have purchased from him upgrading each time. My husband purchased a car from you also. Your dealership is #1! I have recommended Kermit to all my friends and family. The process from start to finish was flawless. Thank you so much for hiring Kermit, I think he needs a raise.

Duy Dang was so nice to deal with, I contacted him from his Viet CNN ad told him what I wanted color options and best price he can do, I called me back within 10 minutes his dealership had exactly what I wanted and gave me the best lowest price that I can't get anywhere else in town. I made appointment with him came in drove off my new truck in less than an hour! Duy Dang was the best, professional, honest. I purchased many vehicles from dealers but never had great buying experience like this ever. I highly recommend Duy Dang to my family members, friends to come see Duy for their next new or used vehicle purchase !

Don't even think twice about seeing anybody else,Angel is an awesome person down to the core she made the transition very easy and was very patient with me wanting exactly what I got. I would of gone somewhere else if it wasn't for her. They went all the way to Seattle to get the vehicle I wanted thanks again for hiring such an awesome person and I know that she would be there for me every step of the way forward thanks again Angel

We have been to other Toyota dealers, but always ended going back to Gladstone Toyota because no other dealers could make us feel comfortable as the Gladstone Toyota people do.We purchased 3 family cars from Gladstone Toyota so far. That tells so much.

We purchased our new 2017 Toyota Camy from Gladstone Toyota and we are more than pleased on how they handled our purchase. It was hassel free, professional from start to finish and we were given a fair deal for both parties. Will we purchase another car from them, absolutely! Thank you Gladstone Toyota for your upmost professionalism in our purchase. We will be back.

First time buying a new car. I bought a 2017 Tacoma from the guys at Gladstone Toyota. Allen Mezghiche and Kenny Khzam were great to deal with. Very transparent, professional, and welcoming. Allen, made the whole process smooth and easy, he was even able to get me a better rate than my credit union! Kenny was knowledgeable about all the car features and walked through them with me, even helped me sync my phone to truck. Ask to work with Allen and Kenny if you end up at Gladstone. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I contacted Gladstone Toyota via email and was responded to within 15 minutes by Donie Montgomery. I had done my research and new what I wanted to pay. Donie negotiated it for me and I was in the test drive and purchase the car the next day. No hard sales, no haggling, just a well run dealership delivering excellent customer service and product.I would definitely purchase my next car here if it's a Toyota (and that's likely since I own 3 and only replaced the prior 2010 Corolla because it was totaled).

I was in the market for a new car, and came upon a killer lease deal on a new 2016 Toyota Corolla. I talked to Carl on the internet chat who connected me with Donie in sales, so I went in that evening to check out the Corollas.Right from the start it was a great experience! I was greeted kindly at the door and immediately connected with Donie who was probably the most helpful car salesperson I've ever dealt with. She was informative, friendly, kind, and passionate about her job. Donie made the whole process easy and efficient. From the test drive to the paperwork, everything went off without a hitch. I was only at the dealership for probably about an hour and a half! Can't beat that for going through the entire car leasing process. They have it down here, especially Donie!I really respected the lack of hassle that is often associated with other car dealerships as well. I never felt pushed or rushed into getting anything, and everyone respected my desires in a new Corolla. Having only ever purchased cheapo used cars before, I have to say this experience was 100x better! Donie and everyone else down at the dealership really do a great job of creating an awesome, hassle-free process. Thanks! Loving the Corolla!

*Dewey* Dang, was very helpful and professional. We walked into the dealership not knowing what we wanted. Our car that we have had for many years finally was dying. We walked in looking lost. Then Dewey introduced himself and off we went. He made the perfect car choice for us. He also wanted to make sure that this was a car we just didn't need but we wanted. He never tried to sell us more than we could afford. He was a perfect salesman. Thanks again for everything, such a fantastic dealership.

It was my first time buying anything from the dealership and it was a great experienced. At first I was a little disappointed because I had an appointment with someone but he was busy with someone else when I came in, but the sales manager connected me with someone else (Dewey Dang) right away and it turned out great. I came in at 11:15AM and was out of there with my new truck by 1PM, I would recommend Dewey to anyone.

Carl made my experience replacing a totaled Prius with a newer used Prius that I found online. From the very beginning, he respected the way I prefer to communicate and was prompt in answering questions and making an appointment with me. He was an actual CARING employee who wanted to make me happy with what I had to work with and made it work. It was magic! He's unlike any sales person I've met. Truly a fantastic person who helped me more than I expected, went above and beyond! Go see Carl!

Glenn Howard made our experience a non stressful one. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was. He was so friendly and you feel like you have known him for a while. He really cares about your needs and wants and that is so important. I would highly recommend Glenn to anyone looking for an enjoyable experience buying a car.

What made this experience exceptional was Angel. She was smart, efficient, very knowledgeable, funny, and overall genuine and present. She went the extra mile when she shared some of her wonderful soup with me after I missed dinner while finalizing the paperwork. This dealership is lucky to have such a bright and committed person on their team!

I believe that all dealership want your business but we felt that Gladstone met our needs for the new truck my husband always wanted. We had a Toyota four runner years ago and it lasted 20 years with very little work. I must say that Toyota keep their value I must say that Kenny was a gem

I haven't had a car for 3.5 years and never since I moved to Portland. Kermit Steward helped me find a car I wanted in my price range. He made the whole process very stress free and not at all confusing. He gave great advice and is very knowledgable. I highly recommend! (Everyone else there was nice too)

I needed a 2017 Tacoma and this year inventory is very limited due to the success of the Tacoma. I had been working with the internet sales team at Gladstone trying to secure the truck I wanted. Once the truck showed up I walked into the branch and drove off with the truck I wanted in under 2 hours. Sou was a pleasure to work, diligent and responsive. Everything went like clockwork.

These guys were pretty decent. Worked with Josh Kidner, who was super professional and motivated to work with me rather than work the hard sell. Ask for him if you go; he'll take care of you. F &I guys were cool- Trey was straight up, motivated to get the car sold but not overboard on the pressure. Do we love going to dealerships? No- who does on a sunny weekend. But u could do a lot worse in the Metro region. Check em out.

It was a very busy Saturday, but everything ran smoothly. I was never left byself wondering how things were going for very long. Kermit listened to want I wanted and didn't try to push me into a higher priced vehicle. He delivered and I love my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. He even drove it to mouse for me. Pretty good customer service. You rock Kermit
dissappointed
Sep 22, 2016
After carefully researching the car and price, I chose Gladstone. I was very disappointed. I took the time and effort to make an appointment with Kermit and drive all the way out to Gladstone. I even confirmed the appointment. As soon as I walked in the door, Kermit handed me off to someone else --perhaps my appearance suggested to him that an older woman does not want to buy a new car. He was wrong. The dealership likes to play games -- trying to squeeze every last dime and trying to sell every useless and Consumer Reports un recommended add-on. Doni was great. But choose a different dealership.

My sister and I were each in search of a new car and unbeknownst to us had both been speaking with Sou via email. Once we walked in and realized who we'd each asked for, it was pretty funny.I initially reached out to the internet team to 1) figure out the difference in the models and 2) complete as much of the transaction as possible prior to heading into the dealership.Sou answered MANY of my questions via email day #1 and showed me all of the options of the various models day #2 (in the rain no less). I had a ton of questions and wanted to make the most of my dollar as well as get the options I wanted. He was knowledgeable, honest and was completely focused on our transaction. I'd definitely go back again. :)

I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience buying a Toyota from Sou Chao at Gladstone Toyota. He asked all the right questions to be sure that I was getting the right car for the right price. From my initial contact to signing the paperwork, I never felt any pressure and was encouraged to take the time I needed to make a good decision. This is important with any large purchase but especially when buying a car! I would certainly recommend for others to go by or contact Sou!

The process was very easy and somehow satisfying, considering that we pulled into Toyota at the end of the day and did not have a goal of buying anything. We were just adding to our arsenal of information from the day of car shopping. I happily left with a new Corolla. I appreciated the time Kenny spent going over all the electronic features, and how to program in your personal information. The whole experience was simple and unhurried. - thank you!

My girlfriend and I were looking for a new 4runner. We were swarmed right off the bat. We had a new salesman so I get not knowing your inventory but then guy number 2 comes out and we explain what we need a second time. They didn't have the color she wanted so we were going to keep looking. 3rd guy {Franke} then comes out and was a total jerk. Ended going to Ron Tonkin Toyota and bought a 2015 4x4 Tacoma. Ricky was our salesman and he was a 10 ! I then get follow up calls from Gladstone leaving a message for Michelle. Who is Michelle? They can't even get the names right !

I went through my bank's car buying service and they directed me to three Toyota dealerships. The first one to respond, literally within minutes, was Sau Chao of Toyota of Gladstone. He had the exact car I was looking for, and after setting up a meeting with him, we were able to make a deal! The communication and professionalism of Sau and everyone I met was outstanding. Thanks to Sau, Charity, and everyone at Toyota of Gladstone for making the experience great.

I first encountered Angel Grose on the internet and then on the phone. She was clear what I wanted and got it exactly. There was no haggling about the price once I got there as that was already decided. She was pleasant and professional. We had a great conversation about my new vehicle and about things we enjoy in our personnel lives. This was not just a business meeting. It was more or a meeting between friends and I never once felt like I was being circled by vultures. This was by far the best car buying experience I have encountered in 33 years. That was when I purchased my first new car. The truck was clean, full of fuel and this is the first time my vehicle was on the showroom floor when I arrived. Very cool.

Dealt with Kermit at Gladstone Toyota. He was professional, courteous and efficient. So was everyone else. I went to another Toyota dealer prior to going there and the person I dealt with didn't seem to want to sell me a car. Would take 2 days to call me back. Decided to go through Costco. Kermit called me back quickly(within 5 min of my inquiry) and always was willing to answer questions and explain the features to us. They made the whole process very easy

I just purchased my first brand new vehicle from Toyota of Gladstone. The customer service and help that I received from beginning to end from this dealership was outstanding! Stefanie Vermillion was so incredibly helpful, was never pushy about anything and stayed by my side through the entire process... she is an outstanding part of the team there. The best part is that not only did I have an amazing experience with everyone at the dealership, I have an awesome new 4Runner to drive everyday. I would recommend this dealership to everyone. Thank you so much Toyota... and especially Stefanie Vermillion!!!

I have purchased many new cars in my 40 years of car buying. This was by far the best experience with a dealer I have had. My salesman, Wade, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Almost like having a good friend selling you a car. There was no pressure at all in the buying experience. I will definitely recommend to my future car buying friends to see Wade. Also note that not just Wade, but the entire staff that I dealt with were very friendly and pleasant to talk to.

I had a wonderful experience at Toyota of Gladstone. They did a great job of helping me decide on the perfect vehicle for my family. I received excellent customer service and everyone was extremely friendly.

The entire process was quick, pleasant, and exactly what I wanted. Kermit had the car I was interested in, agreed to the price I was willing to pay, handled the return of my previous lease, and expedited the entire process so I could complete the leasing process and still meet my daughter for a movie I had promised to take her to! I am 100% happy with this dealership, the sales team, as well as the woman who handled all the financing contract paperwork. I'm sorry I don't remember her name to mention in this review, but she was wonderful! I would absolutely recommend these guys to anyone and everyone. They were nice, accommodating, efficient, and knowledgeable. Great experience!

I previously reviewed a couple cars from this dealership online. I put in an inquiry and quickly received a response from Sou Chao. This was my very fist time purchasing a car and I was dreading the task! Sou made me feel totally comfortable and was very easy to talk to. He was honest, upfront and genuine. He was able to answer all of my questions and concerns from test driving to purchasing. Everyone on the staff was friendly and attentive. As I waiting through the credit check, other employees came over and talked with me. Even the finance "guru", Jeremy was able to work some magic for me and get me a spectacular interest rate!Thank you Toyota of Gladstone! I appreciate your professionalism, kindness and commitment to your customers!

My intention was to buy a new car, but I was looking elsewhere. But, my wife that encouraged me to purchase from Gladstone Toyota. She had a Prius, and it was the mileage that attracted me to purchase a Hybrid. I did a website check on a Prius; I was enquiring a smaller model at that time. I spoke with a gentleman named Sou Chao, he was very helpful, so we arranged a appointment time for me to come down to the dealership and walk the lot. I picked out the unit I liked. We went inside has some water and after a short time, I drove away with a new Prius Tour model. Sou Chao did a great job with answering all my questions. He was very professional, well dressed and very courteous to me and my dog Skooter! I recommend Gladstone Toyota and see Sou Chao for new car needs.G.Tafoya

I walked in to the dealership knowing pretty much what I wanted and the price I was willing to pay. Carl was very friendly and professional. Even after I brought my new car home, I am still calling him with questions, and he has always been very responsive and patient. Carl has been extremely helpful without being pushy or condescending like some salespeople tend to be, and I would definitely go back to Gladstone Toyota for my next car. He and the sales manager, John Hill, made the entire experience easy and painless.

This was, through and through, a hugely positive experience. I was a first time car buyer (actually, leaser in this case) and I kind of imagined the worst given what other people have experienced at other dealerships. I was pleasantly surprised when I met Ted Rippee, because he is low-key, accommodating, informative and really flexible when it came to our budget and evolving expectations. I can't recommend Ted enough as your go-to guy when buying a car. The extended Toyota team that worked alongside Ted is also super friendly, ethical, professional and an all around pleasure to work with (they would need to be, my wife and I waffled and deliberated for 6 hours!)

We went to Toyota of Gladstone to look at the Tacoma line of cars. We were met by Kermit and since he had another customer we had the pleasure of meeting Donie Montgomery. She was very professional yet in a very "down to earth ' in which we felt very comfortable the entire way. We had to leave on Saturday and when we came back on Monday we were met by Donie to finalize getting the truck into our hands. This Monday was her day off but she did not pass us off to another sales person but chose to drive in from Vancouver, WA to help us with the final part of the sale. Donie and the rest of the group at Toyota of Gladstone far exceeded our expectations and we will do business again with them in the future!!!

I went to Toyota of Gladstone to see a 2016 4Runner Trail they listed online and Khzam walked me through all of the features and a test drive. Khzam really knew the truck well, especially the Entune stereo system. The buying process was easy and Khzam walked me through the whole thing, including introducing me to Joe, his Sales Manager, who was great too. Definitely had a great experience there and would recommend the dealership. - Thomas

We talked to many dealers in Oregon and this dealership was by far the most responsive. We drove from out of town looking to purchase a new Rav 4 Hybrid and from the moment we walked in, the staff was very attentive. We started on the internet with Carl Schnauzer and he was very responsive and provided all the information we needed to make a decision on what vehicle we wanted. We then worked with Stefanie Vermillion on the test drives and she was able to answer all of our questions and was excellent to work with. The price negotiation was very personable with no pressure and they really wanted to give us the best deal they possibly could. We left with a new vehicle and felt very good about the process.

Sale Representatives were very professional, and working very hard to earn my business. They were willing to work with me on the right payment plan. They were really patient and was not hassling just to sale the car. Thien Do, Sale Representative, who assisted me with test driving the 2016 Rav4 that I have been wanting. He explained the features/options on each Rav4 models, and help me choose the right fit car. His recommendation was a huge success in decision-making for me landing with the Rav4 SE. He helped setting up all the features and connected my phone to the car bluetooth. Thien Do did an amazing job and would like to highly recommend it to future buyers!

My wife and I recently went into the dealership to purchase a used Prius V. We dealt with Glenn Howard. Glenn did an amazing job in finding a Toyota CPO used car for us. He got us a very good price and did not waste our time trying show us cars that did not fit our needs. This car buying experience was by far and away the best car buying experience of my 50+ life. THANK YOU GLENN!

Angel, in internet sales, answered some questions on the website and offered to meet us by appointment. Test drove a Tacoma, negotiated with her manager Trey K, completed documents with Jeremy O in finance, and happily bought a new Tacoma here. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Angel is a gem from the start, and she took time to answer all our questions and demonstrate features of the truck; we would definitely seek her out to help with our next car purchase. We were completely satisfied. - Vince C.

Angel Grose was such a pleasant and knowledgeable person. I appreciated that she was very upfront with me about everything, and she went above and beyond in getting me a great deal on the car I purchased. She was also very patient with me and I never once felt pressured in any way, even when I wanted to take a day before making my final decision. I was almost sad when it was all over since she was such a cool person to hang out with. The only dark spot in the whole experience was Tom in the Finance Dept. He was way too pushy and I felt my blood pressure rising as I had to tell him over and over again that I wasn't interested in an extended Warranty or any other "add on". He made me feel stupid and disrespected, which made me really upset. I was so happy when I was finally done with him. If I purchase another car from Gladstone Toyota, I refuse to ever work with Tom again.

I visited Toyota of Gladstone to purchase a Highlander. I knew what I wanted and knew what I wanted to pay. Glenn Howard, my salesman, is very professional. He demonstrated the features on the vehicle, checked out the trade in and did all the necessary prep work. His manager (Scott?) presented the deal, which was way over what I was prepared to pay. Rather than get into an argument, We had a good discussion and I felt no pressure to cave in to their offer. Eventually I got just what I wanted. This is a busy dealership. I would recommend them because they have a good selection of vehicles, and because the whole team, from Seth, the big boss, Scott, Glenn, Victor the finance man, all the way to the service rep who scheduled the post sale installation of an option were very professional and non threatening. They were a team, and all were pulling on the same rope.I did not get the greasy high pressure feeling that I have gotten at so many dealers, rather I felt like I was dealing with a team that had a unified goal. My advice is do your homework, because they are not going to offer a smoking hot deal if you are unprepared, and then feel comfortable dealing with the. They negotiate without a lot of high pressure tactics, which nobody likes.Keep up the good work, and thanks, Glenn for helping so much. I love my new car!

We have purchased many cars in our 42 years of marriage, including quite a few Toyotas, but our experience with Khzam at Toyota of Gladstone was by far the very best! The facility is very clean and modern, the staff was exceptional and always accommodating. Khzam worked hard at pleasing us by looking for and finding the exact color and options we wanted in our RAV4. There was no pressure to commit and when we decided this was the car for us, Khzam made sure that we were thoroughly satisfied. He later reviewed all the car details with us, even setting up our iPhones to connect with Bluetooth to the car radio. In the past, buying a new vehicle was always a dreaded ordeal for us to where we walked away feeling taken advantage of and beaten upbut, that was definitely not the case with Khzam at Toyota of Gladstone. He knew his stuff and Customer Service is obviously a very high priority at this dealership from sales to managers to the finance person.we are so satisfied that we know we will return early next year to purchase a second new vehicle.

Just purchased a brand new Tacoma and I was working with Glenn. Glenn was VERY helpful in every way possible and his low pressure approach made everything just that much more pleasant. Once the deal was struck (and it only took a little bit of negotiation), I was handed over to Jeremy for the financial part. He was very pleasant to work with as well and was very helpful and honest with me. He made the paperwork process go by quickly and I was out the door soon after. Once I was out of his office, Glenn stopped by to make sure I was aware of how everything worked in my new truck. I was then visited by Glenn's manager to make sure I was completely satisfied with my purchase and the process and to do a final walk around on the truck before I drove it out of the showroom.Overall, this was the best experience I've had at a dealership. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to purchase without the silly garbage that usually goes along with car shopping.Thank you all very much!

After owning over 20 cars in my lifetime finally an experience that tops them all. From the first internet contact with Angel Grose to the final closing with Finance Manager Tasney McNew everything was exceptional.Braden Allard walked us through our RAV4 with patience and answered all our questions . He truly exhibited what customer service is all about.General Manager David Elder should be proud (but not surprised) with the team he has put together.Living on the South Coast with a Toyota Dealership close by I would not hesitate another 200 mile drive to Gladstone Toyota.Tom McConnell

Just wanted to check pricing more than anything in the beginning. Josh got me the information I needed, and I ended up doing a test drive same day. Got a great deal I wasnt expecting after that and ended up with the car I've been oggling for years and did not expect to be derving. High pressure sales tactics send me running, but I felt comfortable working with Josh and the team. Thanks!

The True Car representatve at Gladstone Toyota, Angel, was the first rep. to contact me. She called me within 5 minutes of when I submitted my request to True Car. She found me exactly the 2016 Tundra that I was looking for within 30 minutes more. I only heard by e-mail from other True Car reps between one and three days later and none of them by phone. When we arrived at the dealership, she guided me through to negotiation process with no hassles. She was on the spot in every detail and was a delight to work with. The other staff at Gladstone Toyota were easy to work with and every thing was taken care of when and as promised. I am recommending Angel and Gladstone Toyota to all of my friends.

My husband and I went to Toyota of Gladstone to look into financing a new vehicle. Toyota of Gladstone was recommended by a family member so we began our search on line. We found a vehicle we were interested in and submitted an inquiry to which Wade of Gladstone promptly responded. He invited us to Gladstone to look at the car and many others. My husband has a disability so we have to consider things in a vehicle that many people don't have to worry about. Wade and all of the Gladstone staff were patient and kind and went to great lengths to make my husband feel comfortable and to help us find a car that would accommodate all of our needs. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. When it is time to get another vehicle, the first place we will look is Toyota of Gladstone. Thank you Toyota of Gladstone.

Sou Chao was our sales rep and he was amazing! The car is perfect and we had no issues buying it. Gladstone dealership is awesome! The whole time we were there we were asked if we needed anything, they gave us a killer deal in a brand new car, and even drive us to the bank. This was our very first car buying experience and we will definitely be going back to them when we need another car.

We were very happy with our truck buying experience at Gladstone Toyota. We were met by Stefanie Vermillion right on time. Stefanie was charming, friendly and knowledgable about the line. When we identified our key features list she researched the inventory and found two candidates in PDI, one of which we purchased. Last evening was the best car purchase experience I can recall wit no pressure or discomfort.

I've been a dedicated used Toyota for many years and this was my first new car experience. I did most research on line as well as talking with several dealers on the phone and at the dealership.Sou Chao contacted me after singing up on truecar.After about 2 weeks of looking I made the decision to buy from Sou because he was persistent, respectful and not pushy. He was friendly, informative, honest about his knowledge and displayed a light disarming sense of humor.

Worked with Josh Kidner through internet sales to make purchase. Josh did a great job finding me the new vehicle I was looking for. He also worked with me to get the pricing I was looking for. He did a great job. Couldn't ask for much more in a salesman. Honest and up front guy willing to work for me/you. As far as dealership, it seems decent right now. We'll see how it works out down the road. Not enough experience with them yet to give a five star rating. Sorry, you will have to earn that over time Gladstone. I will remember to come back and rate. I always do. Good or bad.

I had the best experience at this place. The guys there were no pressure and very funny. I had been there a couple hours and we were finishing up the car buying process and I realized I hadn't eaten so before I went into financing Josh took me and my mom to Burgerville! We laughed the whole way there. I would definitely recommend this place and Josh to anyone I know!

I was recommended to Gladstone Toyota by several people and, although it is not the most convenient location relative to where I live, I thought I would give it a shot. Josh was extremely accommodating throughout the entire process of getting me the right car at a fair price. After a slight mishap, he and several members of the Gladstone Toyota team made sure to make things right. Josh's humor and overall easy-going nature made the experience more enjoyable than I would have expected; I'm glad I came to Gladstone Toyota and will definitely recommend them to other family and friends.

I had never bought a car from a dealership before because of past experiences with shady salesman and just the negative energy of most dealers, so I was hesitant to say the least. Carl Schnaufer was very professional and courteous and answered all the questions I had. I also dealt with some of the managers during our negotiating, and never felt like I was getting hustled or the wool being pulled over my eyes. We came to the terms I was happy with and I was on my way with my new Tacoma. On my way home I realized I forgot my garage door opener in my trade in, so I called Carl and he put it in the mail for me the same day. Carl seems like he really cares you get the car you want and have a good experience, not prioritized by the sale. When its time for a new truck, I'll be coming back to Gladstone Toyota.

When I was buying my car, the dealer Glenn Howard was respectful and was almost reading our minds when we were concerned about items that were not meeting the expectations. Jarett in the financial department was very friendly as well. However, I can not say the same thing for the other employees. Seth was helpful during the buying the process, but after the purchase I found a few details that were not very pleasant. For example, we asked about the rebate value when we ere buying the car multiple times, the sales associate told us the loan value of the car is the same exact value with the cash rebate. When I get to the store to get my chip installment, I learned that there was actually a rebate offer which we were never offered. Seth and the sales manager Joe initially denied it. Later, tried to convince me that the deal I got the is better (acknowledging the existing rebate amount), but then tried to charge me for the small gifts/packages the car was coming with and substracted them from the rebate amount with the non-straight math; and told me that they will write me a check and I can pick it up when I come back the next day when I come to pick my car up. When I get there, it was only Joe the sales manager, his attitude was extremely rude and he told me to be an adult about the deal and that I cannot complain after signing a document. Later he gave me his manager's number which was the dealership's number. The entire experience with Joe was very unpleasant. I called his manager the next day, explained him everything that happened; he listened the problem and the problem is settled. However, I am still missing some of my documents, such as the Etch document, and they were mailing to me 2 weeks ago after the phone call with the manager; but I still did not receive the documents.

Toyota of Gladstone made the car buying experience that much better! We live about 5 hours south and had been looking at Toyota Highlanders for a couple of months. I e-mailed Kermit about a Highlander that they had on their lot and within a few days the deal was made and we were packing up the kids, heading to pick up our new car! When we arrived we were met by friendly salesmen who directed us to Kermit and Carl who were both very kind and helped us get settled in for what is usually a long process of signing papers. Carl went above and beyond to make sure our kids were comfortable while we completed the deal. He even brought all of the paperwork to us in the kids play room so we could sit with our children while he finished his side of the process. Carl also brought all of the manuals and went through them with us before we left! The only downside was how pushy the finance employee was, but it was the end of the day and we were all tired too. I would definitely recommend Kermit and Carl at Toyota of Gladstone to anybody who wants to purchase a new Toyota! -Steve and Jennifer

Hello everyone! Just wanted the world to know what a great experience my wife and I had working with Carl Schnaufer at Gladstone Toyota. We are incredibly busy people with very busy scheduals and Carl was very respectful of our time and helped us to get an amazing deal almost entirely through email and phone communication. After several close deals, snafus, and double talk with other dealers Carl came to our rescue. We had an incredibly hard time finding the exact color and features of car we wanted at an affordable price. We were just about to give up and buy a color we were not entirely thrilled with to get the right deal when Carl suggested we order exactly what we want and agreed to do it for the original agreed upon price of a car we were already negotiating on. That enabled us to get our perfect car at a perfect price. Sooo glad we decided to call Carl. He ordered our car that day and had it to us in less than a month. He kept us up to date on everything from the birthday of our car to when it was on a cruise to the states to when it was on a truck to the dealer. So worth the wait. We are thrilled with our experience with Carl at Gladstone and would recommend him to any of our friends. My wife named her new car Carla in his honor. Lol. Thanks Carl!

From the first moment I asked a question via the website 'chat' function to when I left the dealership with my new car - Glen was the utmost professional. I've bought a lot of cars in my life and this was one of the best experiences ever. No high pressure, no 'hurried' feeling, none of that. I would highly recommend Toyota Gladstone - and especially Glenn Howard.

Have been going to Gladstone for service the last three+ years and becoming increasingly disappointed in how long it takes to complete the job and the resulting costs. Two days agoI went in for my 50,000 mile service and it took over two (2) hours to complete four basic services1. 5000 mile service (no oil change)($30)2. power steering fluid exchange ($85)3. replace wiper blade INSERTS ($33)4. rotate tires and reset inflator ?gauge on dash to 35 psi Other labor parts(?) $24TOTAL BILL $172!!Was initially advised it would take up to 90 minutes to complete. After checking on the delay 2 hours later was told the mechanic would be another 5 minutes which turned into another half hour!As a retired Toyota national parts manager of 20 years I need to be more discreet in who I use as my servicing dealer which will NOT be Gladstone next time.

After visiting more than ten dealerships, including two closer Toyota lots, we returned to Gladstone despite the 45 minute drive in order to work with Pascha Jefferson. She provided us with information without ever resorting to pressure and was unendingly patient. We ended up paying a price below the Truecar average we had found online, a price deemed unworthy of discussion by the dealer nearest to us. Worth every minute of the drive!

After trying to find a TRD Pro 4Runner for sometime, I was put in touch with Toyota Gladstone. They had one in white, but I wanted gray. They were able to get a gray one in a matter of a day. I went to finalize the deal and it took less than 2 hours. It was amazing they found my dream car in a matter of days and purchased it in less than 2 hours. That is my kind of car experience. No messing around! I bought the car from Sou Chao who made things run smoothly and quickly. I recommend Toyota of Gladstone and Sou to anyone for a great car shopping experience.

As soon as I met our salesman, Carl Schnaufer IV, I felt more at ease. He was extremely thorough with all of my options, patient with all of my confusion, and never once made me feel rushed or unimportant. He was able to expedite getting some of the options I wanted so I was able to pick up my new Rav very quickly. And a few days later when I had a question his response was immediate. Everyone at the dealership was helpful and attentive. I highly recommend Toyota of Gladstone. Ask for Carl!!

We couldn't find the truck we wanted in California. We went to a local Toyota dealer and told him what we were looking for and he jokingly said we'd have to go out of state for it, so we did. I searched on line for Toyota dealers in Oregon and Toyota of Gladstone popped up first. I started chatting with Angel through the website and told her exactly what we were looking for. She found it within minutes! The deal was made, we flew to Oregon and drove home in our new truck. The entire process was made easy by everyone at the dealership. Thank you Angel! You are awesome :)

I went to several dealerships looking at vehicles and Angle listened to me. She listened to what I wanted and needed. Not what she could "get me" but what I wanted. She instinctively knew what I was looking for in my next car. Even down to the color! I am used to going to places and getting the old bait and switch on the cars. Come in and see this car but once you get there the car is magically sold. She was clear, honest, friendly and there was absolutely no pressure! None! She listened to my budget needs and my car needs. She even made sure to get me out of there as quickly as possible. Trust me. I will be going back to her.

My salesman provided excellent customer service. He listened to every word, stayed positive, was a super person to get to know and did not treat me like the other car dealership I went to earlier that day. Toyota Gladstone worked really hard on my car deal. Even though my credit is not quite perfect yet, I plan to work on it and return to this car dealership. Thanks again for treating me like a person instead of a quota you have to meet.

I made an appointment online to view a car, and when Glenn Howard called me back to let me know it wasn't available, he told me about a similar car which was an even better deal. My parents and I came to look at the vehicle and he treated me with respect and regard, and was very personable and easy to talk to. Being a young woman, I've had bad experiences with other car dealerships and salesman where I feel like they are talking down to me, but Glenn was friendly, patient, and answered all of my questions without ever sounding the tiniest bit condescending. The dealership was busy when we were there, but after a test drive and deciding to purchase the car, the whole process was actually very quick and painless. Glenn explained everything each step of the way and made me feel very comfortable with my purchase. My dad (the discerning buyer of the house) is also looking for a new car, and he said that he wasn't even thinking of buying a Toyota, but he might just so he could buy it from Glenn Howard! He clearly cares about his customers and I'm very happy not only with my purchase of a certified used car in amazing condition, but also with my experience at Toyota of Gladstone!

I recently purchased a 2016 Tacoma from Gladstone Toyota and the overall experience was great. I had been researching the truck for more than a year and I worked with both Wade and Ted. I in total made around 4 to 5 visits and test drove 4 different Tacomas. Never once had any problem getting a test drive and never had any pressure to buy following the drive. Both Ted and Wade were genuinely interested in making sure I ended up with the exact truck I wanted and because of their patience I did.I had visited other dealers in the area and honestly I didn't feel near as comfortable with any of the others. If I ever do need another vehicle Gladstone will be my dealer. Thanks again Wade and Ted.

This is a friendly and relaxed dealership. Angel is funny, knowledgeable and cares about her customers. She was able to answer all our questions about the car we were looking at without the high pressure sales. You can tell by talking with Angel that she is passionate about her job and is able to have fun. She made this a fun car buying experience and I would definitely go back to get another car from this dealer. I used the Costco program which was new to me and it was a great choice in the long run. If you need a car, you need to look up Angel as she is the BEST and will make sure you have a wonderful experience. I am already telling others about my experience and how great this dealership is.

Bought a new Toyota Tacoma today. Patrick, John, Gordon and Vic made it a fun, easy and professional experience. No pressure, Patrick knew all about the features on the truck I was looking at and made sure I was treated with respect and kindness through every part of the truck buying process. In particular John is an incredible advocate for the nervous car buyer. I was so impressed how he sat with me and visited and sincerely wanted to know how I was doing, business aside. He would spend time with most all the customers calming them and giving them straight forward information. He is the reason I bought my truck there. Thanks for the great experience I will share it accordingly.

This Dealership worked with me above all of my expectations. This is second time I've purchased a car from Toyota Scion. I have been pleased with both dealerships, and plan on purchasing another vehicle in the future. These young men have performed in the most professional and family way.Thanks Gladstone Toyota Paula of Newman, CA

Gordon Flynn was wonderful to work with. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process between just looking at a vehicle, test driving, negotiating, and financing my vehicle. His insight and guidance were much appreciated. I would recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a new Toyota, and I would specifically refer them to Gordon.

Our salesperson was amazing! This is our first Toyota and were nervous about spending a lot more than our budget, our salesperson took extra time out of her days to find the vehicle with the right accessories and stay within our budget. She is very personable and made us feel part of the Toyota family. Know that you are appreciated Angel.

We were very happy working with Josh and being able to just talk about the Tundra and the options available without the high pressure sales. Josh did exactly as we asked, answered the questions we had and listened to us when we told him we did not want to buy today and because of this great experience with Josh, as soon as our other car sells, we will be back to purchase from Josh in the very near future. We, however, did not appreciate the other salesman, who paged Josh for us, or the manager that came in at the very end and tried to carry on or start the conversation over again and started the very aggressive sales pitch. This behavior is the reason we do not go into dealerships. Thanks Josh for the great experiences see you soon.

My nephew did the car search for me and found the exact 2016 Camry LE from Kermit at Toyota of Gladstone. He negotiated a great price over the phone with Kermit and gave me the price and description of the car.I immediately drove to Toyota of Gladstone, looking for Kermit.Kermit handles the internet sale for Toyota of Gladstone, so he referred me to Dustin Franke.Dustin took me through the paper process and completed the sale. The process was quick, no one hassled me on the price and everyone from Toyota of Gladstone was very helpful. I got the car for the price that was negotiated over the phone.I am very pleased with the help from the sales team at Toyota of Gladstone.I would recommend anyone shopping for a vehicle to see Kermit at Toyota of Gladstone.I am very pleased with the deal negotiated with Kermit.

Thank you so much to Kermit at Toyota of Gladstone for facilitating my first new car-buying experience. I got the exact car that I want at a price that I can afford and feel good about. I have peace of mind knowing that I got my car from a reputable dealer selling reliable cars. He was personable, funny, and not pushy at all. He explained everything very well so that I could understand, and best of all he was very honest and up-front about the entire process. I'm so very glad that I made the decision to buy my car from this dealer, and I will certainly be bragging to everyone about what great service I got from Kermit at Toyota of Gladstone!

Khazam called and basically said he could make me happy. Asked me what i wanted what my budget was and went to work. 20 minutes later called said he had some options for me.I came in and Khazam did exactly what he said. He had great options for me to choose from which made it difficult for me to decide from.Totally satisfied with my purchase and customer service from all involved.

Toyota of Gladstone was where I purchased a new 2016 Toyota 4Runner Limited. Right from the start I was not pressured or handed off to the next salesperson. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Kermit Steward was GREAT to work with. He was very patient with me and answered every question I had. And if he didn't know the answer, he always found someone who did. He did not pressure me in any way and really listened to my questions. And he usually had the answer to the next question before I even verbalized it. Overall the most pleasant new car buying experience I have EVER had! I would recommend Toyota of Gladstone and Kermit Steward to Anybody!

If I could give this dealership a 0 I would have. My husband and I were in route (we live in Yakima) to pick up a new car that we 100% agreed to buy and we got a call saying that someone else had come I and bought the car. This is completely unacceptable and I would never recommend this dealership to anyone!!!

Hadn't purchased a vehicle for 18 years. Wade Fish put me completely at ease. I now have a new Toyota and I love it! I had a few questions after taking my Toyota Home . Wade answered the phone immediately ,walked me through some of the features that were new to me. Totally changed my perspective about car dealerships . Felt totally at home at this dealership no pressure, fare,thoughtful and easy to work with. (Yes a woman buying a car all by herself!) Thank U Wade , and everyone at Toyota that made this a wonderful experience. Linda

Had a wonderful experience! We needed out of our lease on our 2014 Toyota Sienna and Joshua was SO helpful in making that happen! We were able to get into a Prius, which will help so much with gas mileage for my husband's commute!There was some haggling with the finance department, which we haven't dealt with in our last few car purchases, but once we set our boundaries for what we could afford, they were able to quickly make it happen. We appreciate the help of everyone who was involved!

Let me just start out by saying, this dealership goes all out to try to make the customer happy and earn a client for life. I would say they have earned my continued patronage and have restored my trust in dealerships and car salespeople. I'll recommend them to my friends at this point. Wade Fish was awesome and he really paid attention to the options we wanted and helped us get the best deal possible. He made everything easy and simple and laid it out for us so that we were in and out of the dealership as quickly as possible. With a 5 month old in tow, it was such an easy process. Wade had the vehicle ready to go and was amazingly helpful and friendly in the whole process. The value added with their green car package and service, as well as their competitive pricing, made it an easy choice for us to buy from Gladstone even though we live an hour away. Jeremy in financing really helped us out in our car buying experience as well. We went through a bit of a hiccup and miscommunication between us, Wade the salesman, and the financing office. Jeremy found out and worked diligently to restore my trust and confidence in this dealership and Toyota by fixing the issue and making sure I left the dealership happy. Well he did. I'm so happy I went with purchasing a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (which we love!) from Gladstone (who gave us a great deal and worked with us to ensure we were happy).

First I would like to thank Mr. Sou Chao for the wonderful service he provided us with. He provided us with such a excellent customer service and helped deliver the car all the way to Salem. We had been looking to buy a 2016 Camry for my Mom and after looking at our options in Salem and Eugene we decided to drive 50 minutes up North to Gladstone Toyota. I had spoken with Mr. Kermit over the phone before the drive about my concerns in getting the exact Camry I was looking for and he assured me that he would find me the right car with the right price. Upon arrival at the dealership we were blown away with such friendly staff who greeted and welcomed us in. With our past experience with high pressure sales treatment and rude sales environment were were surprised how different this dealership was. We found the exact car we were looking for and worked out a excellent deal with Mr Chao. They were true to their promise in finding me the exact car and giving me the best deal in town. For all my future car needs (even servicing) I will most definitely be driving all the way to Gladstone Toyota for their excellent service. Thank You Gladstone Toyota Team, you guys are the best Toyota dealership in Oregon.

I found the exact car I wanted. Danny Bernal came out to assist me. I was very clear and to the point of what I was interested in. He was patient and showed me and explained everything to me that I asked and more. I never felt threatened, pushed, or obligated. I only wanted to see what the numbers would come back like. No problem. After giving me the night to sleep on it, I decided that I had other priorities that were more important than buying a new car. He never made me feel bad and was completely understanding. If I'm in this area again looking for a car, I will go straight to the same dealer. Great service.

My experience at Toyota of Gladstone was much better than expected. This buying experience was better than all my past buying experiences combined. I was not once strip searched or publicly ridiculed. I came on the Costco buying program and was not disappointed. I received courteous and knowledgeable service from everyone. Angel Grose from the internet sales department totally crushed it. Trey Kittirath was super friendly too. My experience never felt overly car sales-y. I bought a Camry and named it "Angel." Would I go back to Toyota of Gladstone? Um. Does Toyota of Gladstone have a super comfy TV lounge, tasty-smelling cafe, and squeaky clean showroom? Yes. The answer is yes.

Angel was first point of contact via phone/email but ended up being busy when we arrived to look at cars so Josh came to help us. In spite of being relatively new to the dealership, Josh was knowledgeable and if he didn't know something was quick to find out. He was not at all the pushy salesman that many of us have come to expect when walking into an auto dealership which kind of threw us for a bit of a loop at first but we really appreciated it. We really ended up leading the conversation rather than feeling like we were being pushed into something. Zach was great to work with on the pricing negotiation and he and his manager (not sure of his name, sorry!) honored a paper ad price that not only did we not even know about, but was actually a misprint! That was above and beyond on the customer service scale as far as I'm concerned and something they didn't have to do at all. Tom in Finance bought down our interest rate to make the added warrantly fit into our budget, which, again, was not at all expected, but hugely appreciated. We will definitely be coming here again when our Camry needs replacing!

As walking into the show room my heart was pounding !! I was ready , I was in the attack mode. I was going to be the one to control, what where when and how I was going to purchase a car. I expected a high pressure fast talking sales person. My fears soon diminished !I was approached by a very friendley gentleman named Khzam. His professional attitude, and ability to listen to my needs and wants took all my fears away and changed my mode from fear to total confidence . The team work that your dealership has is outstanding , may it be from the coffee served with a smile, or the final closing of the car sale, you are all AWESOME!!!!In closing I thank all of your team, keep it up!!God blessCheryl Morris

We recently purchased a 2006 4Runner from Toyota of Gladstone and were treated with the level of care and assistance one would normally only hope to receive when purchasing a new vehicle. Having spotted this car online late on a Sunday, I was first of all surprised that salesperson Zach offered to stay after hours to allow me to drive up from Salem to test drive the car. Little did I realize that four of their staff would have to stay after hours to assist me with the purchase! They were all so friendly and gracious from start to finish. Angel who came with me to test drive the car was knowledgeable, attentive to all of my questions and concerns, not at all pushing for a sale and saw to it that the car was in great shape when she delivered it to us after the purchase. This is a professional, caring team who aim to have happy, satisfied customers!

I was very hesitant to go to a dealership to purchase my first vehicle because I have had poor experiences in the past. Josh helped me and he was absolutely amazing! He wasn't pushy and didn't try to persuade me into anything I didn't want. I did find the perfect vehicle for me and a very doable price. He was so knowledgeable about the cars we looked at and had a great sense of humor that made my time there very enjoyable! I would recommend Toyota of Gladstone just because of my experience with Josh. Thank you so much for this life changing experience!

Toyota of Gladstone went above and beyond to meet my needs on my 2016 Toyota Tundra purchase. I have never been more satisfied. Angel Gross was the most professional and best vehicle sales person I've ever worked with. I've purchased 8 or 9 new vehicles in the last 20 years and Angel by far was the best hands down. She kept her word on everything. I will definitely refer all my friends and family to Angel. If you purchase from Toyota of Gladstone ask for Angel.

Recently Josh Kidner & supporting staff assisted us in our purchase of a Toyota Tacoma & a Toyota Prius at Toyota of Gladstone. The entire experience was informative, easy, & enjoyable. We recommend that anyone purchasing a new or used Toyota definitely ask to talk with Josh. He & the staff are the very best we've dealt with in many vehicle purchases throughout many years. No need to search further after you've found the all around best. We're happy, satisfied, customers.Sincerely,Dana Price & Margaret Petersen

This was my first experience purchasing a brand new vehicle and the staff made it a pleasant one! To start they just happened to have the vehicle and color I wanted to buy. the 2016 4runner TRD pro was on the lot, which is typically a build to order only vehicle. Khzam showed me the ins and outs of the truck and was able to answer all my questions. Khzam introduced me to the sales manager who was able to match my credit union's low rate so I chose to finance with them. Overall Toyota of Gladstone is a great place with an excellent team.

My boyfriend had such a great experience at Gladstone that I called to see what kind of deal I could get with trading in my RAV4 for a new Prius. From the phone call on Sunday to driving my new Prius home on Monday, my experience was easy and pleasant. Gordon was friendly and super respectful of my time. He made sure I left happy and with all questions answered.

Bought a used 2012 Toyota Tacoma from Pasha and John. The truck was exactly what I was looking for but had a lot of miles on it. Unfortunately it had some issues that made the truck too much work for me to take on. So I was able to return the truck and got into a Tacoma pre-runner which is an excellent truck! They worked with me and understood fully why I couldn't keep the other one. I would highly recommend anyone to go see these guys they will treat you right.

If buying a car can be fun, this is the place. But, let's face it, it's still having to buy a car. We are in our late 60's so we are wearing down. The sales people were knowledgeable plus fun to work with. I just wish when you give them a price you can afford per month, they actually either say, yes, we can do that, or, no, that isn't possible. Instead, it's the same old game of wait, I'll ask so-en-so. Surprising, it was my husband that just laughed and said let them have their say and we will get the car. It did actually happen and I do have a dream car at what I asked. We did spend $25 per month more but it was for an accessory my husband wanted. Never owned a brand new car for myself. My other car was 25 years old, being a Toyota as well. Now I have the Hilander and really love driving it. Will be bringing it in for my first service so can't rate that yet.

I was interested in a Toyota Prius C and saw 2 at Toyota of Gladstone which seemed to be what I was looking for. After placing an online contact request, Angel Grose contacted me. When I met with her, she proved to be very helpful and laid back. She didn't pressure me to buy at all. She was more interested in making sure I had a thorough test drive experience and she shared her own experience with the model I was driving. This was very helpful and appreciated and played a part in my decision to buy. Overall I am am happy with my purchase. The Prius is a quiet, smooth commuter car and surprisingly roomy enough for passengers. I like the full features and the fuel efficiency is a big plus. With my sizeable down payment, the dealer gave me an incredibly low interest rate. Because of this, the extended warranty will pay for itself cost and peace of mind in the long run. The quality of service at every level shows the customer what the future should look like. Very impressed!

After a brief online chat with Kermit in the evening , I met with Joshua next morning. He found the truck I was looking for and did the necessary paperwork. Sales manager, Zachary presented several buying options , chose the one I wanted and agreed on the price. Everybody I met was very courteous and friendly. They gave me what I wanted at the price I wanted . Very simple. If you are in the market for a new or used vehicle give Joshua a call or go see him. He will treat you right.

This started out as a promising experience. We emailed and were told the exact vehicle we were interested in was in stock. When we arrived the next day the vehicle wasn't in stock, but were told a simular one was. We just needed to wait for them to move it from a different lot. After 45 minutes the salesman finally came back. The similar version had been "sold" and the originally promised was somewhere within 500 miles at a different dealer. We understand that it can take time to locate a specific vehicle, but the dishonesty displayed here was extremely disappointing.

They completely put me at ease in what is normally a very stressful event. Thank you so much to the Gladstone Toyota team!

As a single mom, this was a huge worry and relief how much they helped me. I would greatly recommend this location for any type of service work needed!!

I recently purchased a new 2015 Scion TC. I had a wonderful experience then. I got in an accident and the car was totaled. I then purchased a 2015 certified used Toyota Tacoma two months ago. My experience this time was not so wonderful. I had a rough time getting the truck down to a reasonable price. When reviewing the truck, I was told I'd be receiving two sets of key fobs and two keys. I only received one key. For two months now, I have been in contact with the dealership and nothing has been done. Not only that, but the finance guy I dealt with was not very friendly.

I arrived with a pretty good idea of what I wanted so Khzam quickly started looking into the options. As we viewed different vehicles I narrowed my selection criteria until one was selected. Then Khzam and George worked the numbers in a transparent, respectful and professional manner until we had a deal. Once all the paperwork was done and the check written, Khzam even offered to help me get both my new and old vehicles home. What service!

I was between a 4Runner or Tacoma Josh Kidner helped me decide that the Tacoma was the better option for me. He was fast, friendly, and honest! Even though I didn't end up purchasing a vehicle from Gladstone Toyota I still felt that Josh genuinely cared about getting me into my dream truck! Would definitely recommend Josh Kidner to my family and friends looking for a new vehicle.

We were in search of the perfect truck. Lots of money on the line here so finding the right truck and sales person as well as a dealer was paramount. We got all of it at Gladstone Toyota. On the spot communication, no silly paper games, no B.S. no pushing. They were focused on us getting exactly to the detail what we wanted. Not something that was almost there. They made it clear that if they didn't have EXACTLY what I wanted, they would get it. But they had it as it turned out. What started out that day as an info gathering day, turned into driving my truck home. Best car buying experience I've ever had. We even ended up buying a 2nd car while there.

I bought a 2016 Tacoma from Angel G, she was amazingly knowledgeable about the entire Toyota line, super friendly, and very easy to work with. Angel goes above and beyond just selling cars, she LOVES the product and it shows. Angel was able to answer all questions about the vehicle and buying process, she made this entire process easy. Angel has also been a resource after purchase to help me get use to the new gadgets with this truck (this is my first Toyota I have owned) which has made the transition that much easier for me. I would highly recommend buying a vehicle from her based on her knowledge, experience and interpersonal skills.

Angel was awesome. She helped us through every step and was very attentive to our needs. We had our 2 year old with us and he had not had a nap, as you can imagine that was a bit challenging. She was very understanding, very helpful and professional throughout the whole process and we are definitely going to recommend anyone looking for a car to get in contact with Angel. Also, when the time comes for us to buy another one, we will be back to see Angel. She literally made this the best experience we have ever had buying a vehicle. ( and that even includes the several vehicles I bought through a dealership I once worked for!) Thank you again, We love our Highlander!

Saw 2011 RAV4 on their website. Expressed interest through a web request for information. Ted contacted me by phone. Was very professional. I set up an appointment for that afternoon.My wife, daughter, and I arrived and met with Ted. We got a tour of the RAV4 and took it for a test ride. Ted remembered the points I mentioned to him on the phone that were important to my daughter. After the test ride, we sat at the table, Ted brought us coffees, and we negotiated a fair deal after a bit of back and forth. I am a very diligent consumer, and also persnickety. Ted was very gracious and not pushy at all. His low-key demeanor was comforting. Then we worked with Tom Angel to work through the loan and DMV paperwork. Total time was under four hours. Overall a great experience. In past 18 months I have purchased five new vehicles/motorcycles for our family; Toyota of Gladstone was among the best we have dealt with (tied with Paradise Harley Davidson in Tigard).

We drove up from Salem after having had not so great experiences with dealerships down here. I inquired online about a certified used Corolla, and within minutes had a call and email from Josh, and we were on our way up there. Upon arrival we were greeted with friendly faces, and the car I was interested in was ready to go. Josh even accommodated my request to test drive somewhere away from a busy street. When I told them that that car was nice, but it was lacking certain options, they found a brand new Corolla on their lot that met my needs & wants. Despite my concerns about being able to afford new, they actually managed to beat my credit union's interest rate, and really worked with me on my trade in to ensure the loan was on par with what my budget. I was dubious going into this (aren't we all?) but the team at Gladstone was patient, and understanding in what I needed in order to purchase from them. Even their finance lady was personable and efficient!

We came looking at a used Toyota Camry they had listed on their website. The sales person was friendly and did a nice job explaining the details of the car as well as tell us about their great service department. We wanted to look at one or two other options before making a final decision, but, as per usual high-pressure car sales tactics, the sales manager came over and was very aggressively pushing us to stay and buy right then and making us feel stupid for wanting to look at anything else. Needless to say we left and didn't return. This is the same kind of high-pressure tactics that so many car dealerships in the area use and makes car buying such a pain! Luckily we discovered that Beaverton Toyota does NOT use these tactics. They have one person who stays with you from beginning to end and they get paid the same no matter which car you choose so they take the time to help you find the car that's the best match for your needs without any pressure. Save yourself a big headache - take the few extra minutes to drive to Beaverton Toyota. You won't be dissappointed.

I LOVE my Camry! Josh was extremely helpful, he went out of his way to make sure I had the car I wanted that was the right color and the right price.

Having shopped at multiple dealerships, Toyota of Gladstone had been the best experience hands down. They were friendly and professional, helping me find the right car for us and making it possible for a affordable payment plan. They made the process quick and easy and made us feel most comfortable during this purchase. My car slamesman, Wade Fish was professional, efficient and more than willing to answers any questions we had and he made it a great experience. Everyone who was involved during the process was great to work with and I will recommend to anyone asking to go Toyota of Gladstone for any car needs.

I have purchased several new cars and hated to deal with the sales force -- gave me a stomach ache and I never trusted them. Then, I met Kermit who turned the whole buying experience around. It was pleasant and I really had an opportunity to have my questions answered and purchased the best car that met my needs. Kermit assisted me throughout the experience and when I picked up the car he spent time explaining how the technology worked and paired my phone! I was introduced to the service team that would be working with me. Pleasant, courteous employees... and that goes for the rest of the staff at the dealership. I have already recommended your dealership to friends and family. They are very impressed with my car. Kermit is the nicest sales person I have ever met. He truly exemplifies Customer Service!

I set up an appointment with Josh for a car we wanted to look at. Josh was able to answer all of our questions prior to driving from Beaverton. When we pulled up, he had the car parked up front and ready for us to drive. We wasted no time locating the car, or talking about other models. He guided us through the purchase process and told us what sets Gladstone Toyota ahead of the dealerships. I really appreciate how easy he made it. I won't buy a car anywhere else! Thanks again Josh

Josh is Super knowledgable about Toyota trucks and really helped me out. He is an effective sales person who really understands where his clients are coming from. I appreciate the transparency that Gladstone offered me and when I'm ready to buy a new Tacoma I will pay josh a visit.

I'm a repeat customer of Gladstone Toyota. Took my 2015 4Runner in for service on 5/7/16. Asked for a quote on trade in value while there.I explained what I expected right off the bat. Was told "no problem, were right there".Was completely jerked around for over an hour.Finally got them to show me the offer. It was a total joke. I was insulted!It was literally over $10,000 less than what I explained I expected and they said "no problem".They wasted my entire afternoon.Went straight to another dealership and within 15 minutes had an agreement in place to put my rig on consignment for $14,500 MORE THAN GLADSTONE TOYOTA OFFERED!This agreement was made without my buying anything from them!Do yourself a favor and find a different dealership, there are plenty to choose from!Gladstone Toyota is full of nothing but the stereo typical greasy, slime ball, dirt bag, salesman.BEWARE!!!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

My girlfriend bought (or leased) a new RAV4 and Angel helped her, she did a good job so I texted her about a good deal on a scion and she called me back matching that deal and throwing the floor mats and since I was comfortable with her, I went to test drive one and ended up leasing from her.

Stephanie was super helpful, laid back, she made the buying process a dream. The truck had to come from another location so we had to wait for it to arrive and get detailed. She was with us the entire day. She kept us hydrated and fed. I appreciate everything she did to pull the entire dealership together to help me test drive the car I wanted, she got her manager to let me drive his personal truck since it was the exact truck I wanted. They went above and beyond to hook me up with my dream truck!!!!! Thank you Stephanie and the dealership!

We just completed the purchase of a new Toyota Highlander from Toyota of Gladstone. The whole experience was satisfactory in all respects and exceeded expectations in several portions of the transaction. The car suited our needs very well, The price was very competitive, The attention to customer service and the details of the deal by our sales rep Joey Dinh-Pham was excellent. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I bought a used car (2009 BMW 335i) on the 15th, which was a Friday. The people I worked with through the purchase were great. They were very friendly, professional, and even played with my daughter in their play room while my husband and I went through the financing portion of the purchase. A+ and 5 stars for customer service before the purchase. However, on the drive home my husband noticed a droning noise coming from the left rear tire at about 7o miles an hour. In Oregon the speed limit is 55, so we were not able to take it to 70 until we got onto 205 in Washington. The next day I went to use the cup holder and discovered it is jammed into the dashboard and won't come out. We decided we would call them on Monday and voice our concerns since it was the weekend. We got a call from someone on Sunday checking in with us so we let them know about the concerns. By this point it was the cup holder, the droning noise, a clattering noise when turning the car off, the steering wheel was slightly off center, and the left rear blinker had malfunctioned (three of the led lights were not working). She told us to bring it in Monday to be checked out. Now keep in mind when we bought the car we were assured it had a clean bill of health. On my way there, at the stark street exit the check engine light came on saying the power had been reduced to half throttle. Safe to proceed. Drive with caution. So I took a picture of the notification and the check engine light and continued to the dealership. Upon my arrival they advised me that they did an alignment before they sold it to me so that wasn't an issue. They checked the blinker and then told me they were getting me a rental because it was going to take some time. I forgot to mentiom the cup holder and the droning noise in all the commotion as I've never dealt with a dealership before. The following Monday (7 days later) I called to tell them about it and hopefully get an update. Tuesday I got a call back and they said the noise was a bent rim. They then proceed to say they did an alignment before selling it to me and would have noticed it then. Basically telling me I did it in the three whole days I had it when my husband heard it driving home. I told him this and he said he'd talk to the manager about it. They did find out that the turbos failed so they had to replace them, and they replaced the light that was out (thank goodness I bought an after market service plan or I'd have had to pay the 5k or so to fix it 3 days after being assured it had a clean bill of health). Wednesday comes and he calls back at 8:30pm to let me know they aren't going to fix the tire or the cup holder. So in the three days I had it after being assured it had a clean bill of health I find out the rim is bent and the turbos failed. I hadn't taken the RPMS over 3.5 grand and before this car I drove a lowered car for 2 years so I'm very good at avoided pot xxxxx. I did not bend the rim! In a nut shell, once you buy the car their customer service is out the window. So proceed with caution. I finally get my car back tomorrow after 9 days of driving a rental car, which I now know more than my own car. My husband will be fixing the cup holder and replacing the rim, and I trust him way more than this dealership.

This means more to us than you know.

I had been watching the web site for Toyota of Gladstone looking for a good deal on a used Toyota Tacoma. I finally found one that I liked so I posted an offer. Within 20 minutes I was contacted by Internet sales rep Angel grose. Angel was very kind and professional as she took my info and offer on the truck I was interested in. I went into the dealership, test drove the truck and restated my offer. Unfortunately the offer was not accepted and the counter offer was a bit out of my budget so I had to let it go. Angel promised me she would keep an eye on new arrivals and notify me when something new came in that fit my needs and budget. Angel kept her promise and brought to my attention two new arrivals over the course of a couple of weeks. The first one did not fit but the second one seemed to be the one. I test drive the Tacoma and after doing all the offers and paperwork we came to an agreement on price, payments, terms and interest rate. Then only to find out that another sales associate had just sold the truck I was looking at! We were all very upset and almost devastated. Then steps in the Internet sales manager John H. I believe was his name. Angel and John said they would cut me a good deal on new 2016 and the monthly payments would actually be lower on the new truck vs the used one. We crunched the numbers again and again and finally ended up where I wanted to be And I did end up with a lower monthly payment as promised. Kudos to Angel Grose and the team at Gladstone Toyota!! My experience was very positive in that Angel worked so hard to get me a great deal within my budget and on my terms and for that I give her a ???????????? six star rating. Overall Gladstone Toyota was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely reccomend them to anyone I know who is looking for a new or used car. And I will always reccomend they ask for Angel Grose!!SincerelyKevin Austin

We were referred to Joey Pham at Toyota of Gladstone by a friend that just purchased a car from him & had a great experience so we wanted to give him a chance to earn our business. We were not dissapointed. He did a great job. We have another Toyota dealership a few blocks from our house but went to Toyota of Gladstone because Joey was so highly recommended. We were very happy with the service we received and glad we decided to purchase our 2016 Toyota Highlander here.

My name is jake, and this is my second time purchasing a vehicle from the same exact place. The reason being is that i have been very satisfied with the quality customer service. I have been to other dealers and by far I have felt the most comfortable and at ease at this specific location. They have earned my trust, so much so that I only come to this location for meintanence even when living in Vancouver Washington across state lines. I am very happy and appreciate all their extra effort. To sum it up everything said is well deserved.

We have not purchased a new car since 2007 so I was not looking forward to the hassle of dealing for a new truck. However I was pleasantly surprised to find the experience very pleasant at Toyota of Gladstone. Kermit was extremely personable and helpful throughout the process and got us a great price on our truck.

I purchased a Mini Cooper with a trade in from Gladstone Toyota. I feel fortunate to have met Joey Pham and have been the recipient of his salesmanship. The mini had some initial issues with the mini computer communicating with the Toyota parts they had put in the vehicle. They went above and beyond in taking care of the issue. Joey assured me they stand behind their work. They took the car back twice and then sent it to a mini certified mechanic. The process took over a week in which time they set me up with a rental. They covered all costs. Joey and Ryan (in service) were diligent in making sure I was kept in the loop. I was very impressed with their level of commitment to making sure my experience was a positive one. I would not hesitate to send anyone to Joey Pham for their next car.

I recently bought a new Toyota Tacoma pick up truck at Gladstone Tacoma-Scion using the Costco Auto Buying Program. I generally do not like buying a new auto because it can be a trying experience but this time it was a pleasure. The salesman, Wade Fish was a real gentleman and so were the other people I dealt with there. I pretty much knew what I wanted and although my salesman pointed out what was available in extras there was no pressure to buy more or upgrade my choices. I got information without the heavy sales pitch. I was offered a fair price for my trade in. The Costco program also helped me pay for some extras with a coupon. The dealership went out of it's way to have my new truck ready to pick up the next morning although they had to find and bring in the model I wanted from another dealer.This was definitely the best auto buying experience I have ever had.

trying to etch Vin number over all the parts of your car and charging you a couple hundred dollars for it when the car is almost impossible to be stolen is not something a customer wants to deal with. it's only about making more money for the dealershiptitle fee $77registration fee $19615 minutes to do a document $115. it's still not a streamlined sales approach by trying to add on all these little items instead of making it really pleasant for the buyer getting here she out of there as soon as possible. no one expects these items to be free of charge. I don't think I was even offered a trade-in value of my car which means we were three or $4000 under what retail price would've been. gerard.

Came for a new Tacoma, ended up with a truck I hate driving. After not receiving the canopy I bought with the truck, having the drivers seat replaced, and having transmission problems that the dealership couldn't fix, the dealership told me that Toyota is working on a software fix for the terrible transmission problems that the vehicle is having. ETA? No idea. The dealership systematically tried to avoid fixing the vehicle, didn't call me back, and finally claimed that the transmission problems Toyota is trying to fix weren't actually problems. End result: big talk from the dealership about looking out for the customer but no follow through. Beware of this place.

These guys are worth the drive. They're the only ones who would work with us when we wanted to compare prices. Insane, right? They actually wanted to sell us a car! They weren't going to force us to sign paperwork just to be told a price. They went above and beyond, giving us multiple financing options and grabbing us our desired color from somewhere else in the area overnight. AND they gave us the best price...we knew it because when we got calls from other dealerships trying to convince us to come back, they were surprised how low they had gone and said if we could really get it, we should go for it! I would come here again and again. I'll even drive down here for service because I trust them. And I really don't trust any of the other dealerships around Portland! Really, car salesmen you can trust? Unheard of.Wade was awesome, he drove the new car all the way to my house because I had to drive my old car home after the sale, despite the fact that his shift was over. He sat in my driveway and showed me every button in the car, helped me personalize the settings and pair my phone. I'll recommend him to anyone!

From the moment I stepped out of the car I'm no longer driving I was greeted within friendly smile. Although the salesman that was the first to contact me was busy with another customer I was assisted by a very capable and personable young man. He knew all of the details of the vehicles I was looking at and was very thorough with his explanations. I do not believe I could have had a better experience working with anybody but Spencer Judd. He's the kind of salesman that makes me want to come back for my next purchase. Overall going to this dealership has been the best experience I have ever had when purchasing a vehicle!

Gordon and I hit it off right away and soon he directed me to the perfect vehicle. After a couple of test rides and a quick sit down we made a deal on my new 2016 TRD Tacoma long bed. This is a top notch high volume dealership that is a class above others, very professional and you will be well taken care of. Thanks again Gordon.Shawn Martin

All other employees we had contact with were also very helpful and thorough. We would highly recommend Toyota of Gladstone and Ted Rippee!

Sadly I myself did not going in knowing much about purchasing a new vehicle or leasing options. They were definitely there only to make every dime possible. They tried to seem as helpful as they could which I was gullible and believed them. I knew absolutely nothing about leasing, should have left. But they talked me into it and essentially lied to me to make things sound better than they were. After doing research of my own after the fact, I realize now what I got myself into and 100% regret going there. They knew exactly what they were doing to me.

I stopped in at Toyota of Gladstone to check out the Toyota Highlanders. Joey Pham was the salesperson. I had limited time to look and Joey respected that. I knew the price we needed to get and that was also respected. He was knowledgeable about the car and didn't waste my time. We were not planning on buying at Toyota of Gladstone and had already planned on buying a Highlander in Salem. However, even though the offers were similar from both places, Joey earned our respect with his all business, no games , respectful attitude. We recommend Toyota of Gladstone because of our experience with Joey Pham.

After working for over a month with another dealership, I came into contact with Angel. I was trying to make a purchase through a buying service while living on the other side of the country. Literally, within an hour I had my truck in my color choice reserved. I flew in and within a couple of hours I was on the road in the EXACT truck I wanted. I can't speak highly enough of the job that Angel and the team at Gladstone Toyota did for me!

First let me say what a pleasure it was working with Mr. Wade Fish. From my first contact to driving home in my new Toyota Tacoma SR5 it was a great experience. Wade stood out from all other sales reps at your competitors in his knowledge and willingness to work with me in getting the "hard" to find model I wanted. Only one other competitor was able to find my truck, which meant that 4 dealerships couldn't supply me. Then Wade worked on the deal I wanted and "made it happen", very impressive!Wade is a very good representative for your firm and obviously loves what he does and I'll definitely refer people to him and Gladstone Toyota.Best Regards,Mark Vichas

This was one of the best car buying experiences I have done. I ran ver in the morning to just test drive this used RAV4 and ended up with it in my driveway less then 2 hrs later. They even delivered it to my home. Thank you, Kermit and your team that made it happen so smooth and quick...no back and forth bringing a sales mgr out to stiff arm me. It was all handled with you up front with what the best price was, the details of the car fax, etc. I feel really good about the vehicle, about you and about the dealership in Gladstone (also where I have had my Toyotas serviced for years). When I am in the market for another vehicle, I will back.....

I had been searching the entire West for a specific model Toyota that I couldn't find anywhere in California. I finally found Ted Rippee at Gladstone Toyota! He went above and beyond the call of duty for me! Found the truck I wanted snagged it for me and even picked me up at the airport and took me to the dealer!!! Everyone at the dealership was great and a few hours later I was on my way home in a great new Tacoma! Ted is the best representative I have ever dealt with! Highly Recommended!

Ron and Kermit were great to work with. Courteous and thorough with a good amount of follow up without being overbearing, which was refreshing. Had to go back and forth with the sales manager a few times before reaching an agreement as could be expected. Was glad I did a lot of pricing research on my trade in and new vehicle before beginning negotiations.

The men I dealt with knew or understood what my needs and and wishes were in my rather rapid choice to chose a Scion. I was thinking of another, my third Corolla, but I found out that the good looking and roomier Scion was essentially a hatchback Corolla. It is more a versatile vehicle with a better and more useful size. I traded in two vehicles, checked thoroughly their trade in value, and I was pleased that the price I set was accepted. I was happy and they made a worthwhile sale. Hats off to Kenny Khazam and David Elder! This is the fifth Toyota I purchased from this dealership! Thank you. I also want to mention the service dept. always do needed service or repairs to my Toyotas.

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a new Prius at Gladstone Toyota. Spencer Judd was the sales person. Spencer was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the Prius. This is my first hybrid car, and Spencer helped me understand the system and the equipment of the car. I particularly liked that he did not pressure me to buy. We highly recommend this dealership, this is the third Toyota vehicle we have purchased at Gladstone Toyota.

Angel from Toyota of Gladstone went to extraordinary length to understand the requirement I had for a car I was going to purchase. She was able to communicate clearly on the vehicle's availability, pricing and the options. Angel worked to locate and bring the vehicle in for me to see and test drive. The price offered was the best price I had received thus far and she went out of her way to make the purchase process simple and easy for me. She stayed engaged until all of the accessories I had ordered with the car were delivered to my satisfaction. I have purchased several cars over the past 30 years, but this was by far the best car shopping experience I've had. Thanks to Angel and Toyota of Gladstone for making this a pleasant experience.

I called Toyota to ask about a 2016 4 runner. Thien helped me from the first phone call. Within 10 minutes he sent me photos of my know 4 runner. I can't say enough about the serivce I received and how hard Thien worked to get me the best price. I will return and will send my family and friends to Thien for there next vehicle! Thanks Toyota of Gladstone and THANK YOU Thien!

Toyota of Gladstone lives up to their reputation , salesman was very informative , no stress or aggressive sales tactic, but helpful throughout our visit. We were very enlightened to find no "upsale" but actually found what we were looking for at a price that was lower than what we expected . Great service from start to finish, unexpected in and out service with the type of quality and professionalism that's hard to find today, thanks for the help Kenny we appreciate it highly, the Dunlap family.

I guess I was Sam's first sale. Very nice and pleasant person and enjoyed talking with him. With it being his first sale he did have help from someone else who was also pretty cool. Felt a little pressured near the end of the deal, but I kind of alway expect that. Making a purchase that large is always stressful and when you have someone really wanting to make the sale (and of course they would or else they would not work there :) ) I understand that.Very happy with the truck.

I am a first time New Car buyer and this has got to be the most easiest transaction ever! My sales guy Thien knew this car was actually for my mom and he made sure she understood the fancy options that came with it. To name a few, he spoke to her in our native language (Vietnamese) and set up her bluetooth to her phone. He even went the extra mile and threw in spill proof floor mats and tied balloons on the car for the reveal. I got a straight option and price quotes. And did not get the whole sleezy good cop/bad cop price exchange. He made car buying pleasant and easy.

After getting tired of dealing with my old mini cooper, I came in looking for a more reliable certified used car. I was shown a Toyota Corolla and was told it was the S plus edition. This being my first time buying a car from a dealership, I wanted to sleep on it and do little research about the car before I commited.I came back the next day prepared to make an offer and also trade in my un-drivable mini cooper. I eventually accepted an offer a bit over my budget, but I felt was fair for the S plus corolla. We had also arranged for a tow truck to pick up my Mini cooper two days later. I left the dealership in my new car, feeling great.When I got home I began looking at all my manuals and such, and I came to find out that the Corolla is not an S Plus, it is actually an L, which is a much lower priced version. I am not sure if Kenny was aware of this, or if the dealership had their peperwork wrong, but I feel taken advantage of. Also, the tow truck was supposed to come on a Sunday, which is a day I don't work, to pick up my Mini cooper. Since I had already given my key to the dealership, I figured when the tow truck driver came ,I could get into the car and grab my last few personal items. When I came home from work on Saturday, the mini cooper was already gone, along with my stuff. Again, I don't know if this is Kenny's mistake, or the tow company's, but it's frustrating.

Wade at Gladstone Toyota made our car buying experience the best and quickest as possible. Having been to two other Toyota dealerships in the Portland area, it was quite a pleasant surprise to meet Wade who went above and beyond all expectations.All previous Toyota employees that had helped us were just sub-par to mediocre. It was refreshing to find someone who was genuinely trying to help us. He spared no effort in explaining all details about the car we were purchasing without making us feel pressured or rushed. Wade made sure that all our questions were thoroughly answered while making sure that the transaction was as quick as possible as to not inconvenience us.This was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had, Toyota Gladstone should feel proud to have such an employee on their floor. I would highly recommend visiting Toyota Gladstone - and ask for Wade.

Kenny Khzam was a good advocate and understood our price and our commitment to try and stay within our budget and get the car we really wanted. After some back and forth with another sales person, he did a good job of advocating for us and not dragging the process out any further. We were a little over our budget but in the end, we are thrilled with the car we got. Thank you KennyBeth and Aron

I came in looking for a Honda element. As Kenny and I were looking for it I saw an FJ Cruiser, which has always been my first choice but out of my price range. Well we started the usual negotiations , which I enjoy. I gave him a pretty bad time, all in fun and he was a good sport. We got the price down to where I was happy and got my first choice after all.

My husband and I strolled into Toyota of Gladstone after a long and toiling car two-day shopping experience. The truth is we had just been pressured the night prior into "committing" to purchasing a vehicle at different dealership. Fortunately the first person we met at Toyota was Gordon Flynn - his earnest and friendly attitude calmed our nerves and brought back the excitement to get a new car! We looked at several models and had lots of questions - thanks so much for your patience, Gordon. ("also thanks for giving us the courage to tell that other dealerlership "no thanks!")

I drove all the way from Salem to check out vehicles in Gladstone. Granted, it's not that long of a drive but upon arrival I was greeted at the door immediately and knew right from the start that this was the place to buy a car! All the salesmen were very courteous and professional. I worked with Kermit and he did an outstanding job. I went in to look at a corolla and it wasn't what I expected it to be. However, Kermit went above and beyond service and was determined that I find the right vehicle for me. He was adamant about making sure I got what I wanted for my trade and also about making sure I got the best APR! I can't thank him enough for all the help and professional service he provided! I will most definitely stop by Gladstone toyota for future vehicles and referrals! Way to go Gladstone toyota for seriously making my car buying experience a most pleasurable and easy one! I can't thank you and Kermit enough!!!

Kenny was great, friendly. New his stuff, I have a problem writing/filling out paperwork, Kenny help me with this, again Thanks very much! At one time during this process I was concerned we were moving to fast and we hadn't talked about a price for my trade-in because it had an impact on the deal, Kenny stopped and went to get that information I wasn't happy with the offer and ready to leave. Kenny asked what I wanted for it I told him and within minutes we had a deal.Thanks Kenny & Toyota. Corky

Every person I met and worked with at Toyota of Gladstone was professional, courteous and exemplified the concept of "the customer come first". I worked with Angel Grose, Internet Sales Manager, and Seth Dustin, Internet Sales Director, on my purchase of a 2016 4Runner. Both sought to get me the best deal possible for my trade-in and pricing on the new vehicle. We managed to work many of the details out online and over the phone before I made the 1-hour drive up to Gladstone, and when I get there, the vehicle was primed and ready for my test drive and purchase. The final little bit of negotiations were easy and straightforward, and very quickly I was in the financing office with Vic The Finance Guy, a wonderful gent who found ways to save me even more money on his end of things. It truly was an easy and hassle free buying experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend this dealership to any and all who fancy a new Toyota.

Will go back to her for my next car.

I've purchased two vehicles from Wade at Gladstone Toyota and my dad is still very satisfied with his purchase as I am with mine. Both times there was never any pressure like other experiences we've encountered while shopping around at other competitors. The service department is always very professional and courteous and well as the whole sales and finacial department we've worked with so far. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle with a hassle free experience.

No pressure, no hurry, just a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Our salesman, Dustin Franke, was knowable and laid back, never pressuring us and happy to answer all of our questions (and entertain our restless toddler who was there).The process was straightforward, stress-free, and fast! We found a car we loved at a price that couldn't be beat (and great financing) in under two hours. We will be lifelong customers at Gladstone Toyota.Aside from the sales experience, we take our truck her regularly for serving and are always pleased with their solid work and good prices.Bonus: The dealership even has a playroom for children!

Fabulous collection of people!! Fast courteous service! Clean store, beautiful cars! Just an awesome place. I bought my first ever new car a 2016 Toyota Camry XSE and I had the most amazing pain free experience ever! I was helped and guided through by "David Reed" such a passionate, kind and courteous young man! He was fast and he got things done! Entertained my disabled mom very well, made her laugh and always offered to help her or get her anything if she needed it!! Such a wonderful person he is!!! I never felt pushed into anything, I felt like I was being heard and with that they found me the car that worked just "perfectly" for what I was looking for!!! Im beyond happy and the more I drive this car around the more I fall in love with it!! THANK YOU so much for the awesome experience and finding the "Perfect" car for me in the color and style I wanted!!!

I was searching for a midsize car (Camry XLE 2016) online and had several deals from multiple locations in Portland and Vancouver. Angel Grose, the online rep, was really sincere as she didn't pressure me into purchasing anything. Although I had a cheaper purchase price (aprox. $200) from another dealer, I did not hesitate after talking to Angel and Seth. I arrived at their dealership, and they had already prepped the car, we just needed to come in and sign the paperwork. Joey Pham, another sales rep, made us feel very at home when we were waiting for the paperwork to finish. He shared some helpful tips when it comes to purchasing the vehicles of our choice. After prepping the car, they had it ready inside the main lobby so we can drive out, which I think is amazing because it's pretty cold outside. Joey made sure I understood the features in the car before we left their dealership, which is a plus. Their green car package is awesome as well because I think I will make good use out of it. Definitely recommend Toyota of Gladstone and Angel for those looking to buy a Toyota online. And definitely recommend Joey if you ever come in!

Recently, I test drove a Camry at Gladstone Toyota in Oregon. My sales person was Kenny Khzam. I found Kenny to be extremely helpful and easy to work with. I've had a Camry for 11 years and it's been serviced at this dealership all that time. They are consistently professional and do an excellent job. I only have one "complaint" about the dealership and that is they discontinued having popcorn for the customers waiting for their cars to be serviced. It may be a small issue but it made the wait much more pleasant. I highly recommend Gladstone Toyota and Kenny Khzam.

I had a positive experience with Thien our car dealer. He did not push us into any vehicle we didn't like. He took the time to explains each dealership incentive discounts and the specs of each cars. He offer us specific discounts to help us save even more. I ended getting a car that fit all my requirements and I totally love it.

I have been doing business with Gladstone Totota since 2011. Jeff Karlin Sr. has been my Saleman handling all the transactions there. He is the finest Salesman I have met in a good many years. I know a good one from bad because of many years of experience in the Car business and with RV's. Talking to him is always fun and he has always been able to point me in the right direction. I am also impressed with the fine Service Department and the way it is being managed. In several visits there I always found them to be quick and reliable.

While Toyota of Gladstone was, for the most part, a regular car dealership experience, I thought my salesman, Azhar, did a fantastic job. He wasn't pushy, he knew everything about the truck, and he was a down-to-earth guy. Their sales manager was definitely pushy and wanted a sale immediately, which is what I normally experience at dealerships. Azhar was patient and let me take my time, which led to me buying a new Tacoma from him.

Jeff karlin sr. Is a jolly old salesman. Loaded with experience of over 30 years in the car sales business. He is the equivalent of Gandalf the grey is car sales.

I was referred to dealer by PJ, a former employee who had great things to say about them. I was very pleased with my experience at Gladstone Toyota. They made my car buying experience easy, explained everything to me in detail, and helped me to make sure that deal and car payment fit within our needed monthly budget. I asked a LOT of questions, and Kenny and John both answered every one patiently, even had George in finance come speak with me about the financials as well. I am VERY happy with my 2016 Camry. I have an excellent quality vehicle with full maintenance warranties and nothing to worry about mechanically. They have gained a valued customer at this Toyota dealership, and I have already shared my good experience with friends and family. Keep up the great work!

From the moment we were contacted by Wade Fish of Toyota of Gladstone we were treated with respect and professionalism.

You have earned my business for years to come, I will send all my friends and family your way. Thanks for everything!

This was my first ever experience with car shopping, and being that I'm definitely no car expert, I had a lot of anxiety going into the process. Luckily for me I picked the right dealership and the right salesperson to work with and ended up with a great experience and a great car. Right upon arrival at Toyota Gladstone, I was warmly greeted by Thien. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. He showed and let me test drive all the many different cars that I was interested in. He was patient in answering all of my many, many questions. He was very well informed and professional and went through the whole process step-by-step, explaining things to me at a level and pace that I could easily understand, making me feel comfortable and not pressured. I ended up buying a great car that I absolutely love and that is perfect for me (the Rav4 Hybrid) and it was all thanks to Thien. He is definitely someone who I would recommend to all of my family and friends. Thank you Thien!

I have purchased 3 new Toyotas here in the past 4 years. The experience the first 2 times was pretty normal, not terrible. The process always takes much longer than they say, and they always act like I'm asking the world when I state what my max payment/down payment/interest rate is. This time was especially bad. I was trading in a Tacoma (a year old) for a commuter car. First they only offered to lower my payment by $15 for a Prius! Then after I almost walked several times, they actually gave me the payment I asked for from the start. Then they waste your time trying to sell you add ons like paint protection, gap insurance, service plans, etc., jumping the payment you worked so hard to negotiate up 20, 30, 100 dollars. I even told the salesperson I knew they were going to do that, and he just said, well don't by the service plans. Don't push them, then.Then, the salesperson made comments about not wanting someone else to raise his kids and paying extra child support so his ex-wife wouldn't have to work JUST after he asked if our kids were in daycare and AS I filled in my job information (I work FT and make more than my spouse, quite a bit more.) Really? Clueless. Keep your opinions to yourself. He also made such a show of walking back to check with his manager and revealing "secrets". Classic bad salesperson crap. I almost walked just because of him! But I didn't want to waste MORE time at another dealer. I knew what I wanted when I came in, but the salesperson just didn't want to listen. Also, I mentioned I'd bought 2 cars there already, and he acted like I was new to planet Earth. I might go somewhere else for my next car. Don't offend your customers.The finance person was great (except for the hard sell on the gap insurance even after I said I already have it through my insurance carrier), and I really like the service department. They are awesome. The salespeople who sold me the first 2 cars (only one is still there) were new to their jobs, but way more professional and kind and transparent than this guy. Ugh.

Khzam had a warm and down to earth demeanor, from start to finish. He was thorough in explaining the features of the car and I could see that he was passionate about Toyota. We didn't feel rushed or pressured but I know that Khzam did everything in his power to earn our business. We quickly came to an agreement and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Even though I really wanted to be stubborn and test drive a Honda! Our overall experience was very positive, although we thought it was odd that our vehicle didn't come with floor mats.

The best sales experience I have ever received. My fiance and I leased a brand new RAV4 from Gladstone Toyota. Matt Taylor was such a pleasure to deal with, from the moment we walked into the dealership we felt like family. Matt had been communicating with me through email and most of the paperwork already done prior to us arriving. We were hesitant to drive all the way up from Salem, however Matt quickly put us at ease and gave us our best experience ever. The really do roll out the red carpet for you at Gladstone Toyota. Our SUV was waiting for us in the show room on red carpet and we literally drove it out of the showroom. Matt thanks for an excellent and amazing experience!

I went into this dealership with the common misconception that I would have to fight until my dying breath to get the deal I wanted. And I was 100% wrong. Wade helped me with the purchase of my 2016 scion tc and he was fantastic. He didn't try to use car selling jedi-mind tricks on me or any of that kind of stuff. He truly does care about his customers. He even paid for and sent me a bottle of touch up paint a couple of months later after my car got chipped. My experience at Toyota of Gladstone great and Wade was so good that I have decided to name my second child after him. I will name him Wade Edgar Patershall (or wadina if I have a girl).10/10 would recommend

The dealership didn't have the specific car we wanted on the lot, but he managed to get one on the lot from Portland within a few hours. We were delayed (traffic & weather) getting back to the dealership after running some errands and he not only waited for us to return, but did so after hours (we're from Lincoln City and he knew that we wouldn't be in town again for a few weeks). We never felt rushed to complete all of the paperwork and he spent a lot of time (again, after regular hours) familiarizing us with all of the functions of the vehicle. He has also been quite accessible for follow-up questions in the weeks since our purchase.I highly recommend Jeff Karlin & Totota of Gladstone to anyone looking to purchase or lease a Toyota. Lewis

I had a great purchasing experience at this dealership. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. I traded in an old Tacoma for a newer Subaru Forester. Khzam and his team worked with me to find reasonable deal for my trade in and financing for the Forester. They were even able to get my interest rate cut in half. They are true to their word when they say that they take care of their customers. Their customer service was above and beyond.

Very simple and easy going dealing with azhar khar. Second car we have purchased from him with in a 2 month period. I had simply called in before i showed up and told him what i was looking for. When i had reached Gladstone toyota azhar had most of all vehicles i said i was interested in waiting for me to look at. All in all i purchased a 2016 tacoma and it couldnt of happen faster with any other sale person. By far the best 2 experiences ive ever had at any dealer ship. Non pressured sales team and easy to work with.

If your looking for a vehicle go see Wade at Toyota of Gladstone. He was so nice, knowledgeable and very understanding of my needs/goals. He worked quickly and made everything so great. Wade and Scott worked together to help me get the highlander in the payment I needed. If your looking for a great deal and a awesome sales team go see Wade and Scott!! I would highly recommend Toyota of Gladstone.

I had a great experience at Toyota of Gladstone. My last car was totaled and I was in the market for a new one. I had an appointment with Ted Rippee and was about 30 minutes late. Matt Taylor stepped in to help me. He asked me some great questions about what I was looking for. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. When I found the car I wanted, Matt Taylor managed 100% of every detail so that I could get the best deal for my car. Everyone from the Matt Taylor, Ted Rippee and the Manager were just wonderful to work with. Yes, I am a very happy customer!

The experience with this dealership was great! It was fast, and easy! My wife and I got the price we were looking for on our vehicle, and Khzam made sure we were happy! They had a very family friendly environment, Khzam was good with our toddler, and made sure the transaction was fast, and stress free so she didn't get overwhelmed by the experience. I would defiantly recommend this dealership when buying a new Toyota.

From my first contact, on phone, I felt completely comfortable with my decision to contact Toyoto Gladstone. Being an older women buying her first ever car on her own Wayne treated me with respect and kindness. He was patient. He educated me so that I knew my decision to buy my Prius was a good choice. I am sure that if I need further help with my car Wayne will help me. Thank you !!

I have purchased a number of new cars and have never looked forward to the experience despite my knowledge and experience. Before making my way to Gladstone Toyota, I had visited a Toyota dealer in Beaverton and ended up walking away after just 60 minutes because of the salesperson's singularly unhelpful attitude and lack of information about my vehicle of choice. I was prepared for a similar experience at Gladstone and was very pleasantly surprised. Immediately upon my arrival, I was met by Azhar, with a generous smile and a friendly attitude. As soon as I told him what I was looking for, he had several possibilities for me, along with information about applicable incentives, options, and special offers. His easy rapport, exceptional knowledge, gregarious attitude and willingness to work with me insured that I would walk away with the vehicle of my choice, at a price that was conducive to my budget. Azhar's knowledge, positive attitude and easy manner empowered me, as the purchaser, to make an informed decision- this is priceless! Between the sales staff and the financing staff, I would absolutely go back to Gladstone Toyota for my future vehicle purchases. Thank you Azhar and Gladstone Toyota!

Everyone at Gladstone toyota was very nice and helpful! Especially the sales rep that was helping me. He was able to work with me to find my needs to find the right vehicle for me, which I love. They were up front and honest and worked hard to meet my standards and to find me a vehicle! They cared about my needs and didn't try to force anything on me I didn't want. They did their best and found the right car! I definitely would recommend Toyota Gladstone to anyone looking to buy a vehicle!

Kenny Khzam helped us find the perfect car. I had worked with him years earlier at another dealership when looking for the exact Toyota I wanted at a price we could afford. This January, my husband took our older 4-Runner in for service and ran into Khzam. Although we were not in the market for a newer car, Khzam told him they had just received a car that met my model preference, had every feature I wanted, was only a year old, had low mileage and a very good price. He suggested that I might like to test drive it while our car was being serviced. We purchased the car by the end of day. Khzam is knowledgable and a true customer advocate. He has followed up to ensure the car is working well for us and to answer any questions. We had excellent service and advocacy from every professional we worked with. Thanks also to John Hill in sales and Vic Meese in finance. We highly recommend Gladstone Toyota and have shared our enthusiasm with friends, family and neighbors.

I didn't plan to buy a car when I went in for an oil change but Khzam was so honest and helpful and objective that the whole process was so painless. He showed me all the options and gave me the best deal. I always felt that each decision was mine and there was no pressure or upselling. He was respectful of my budget. I love my new RAV4 and the pleasant sales experience just makes it that much better.

I had an excellent experience with Matt Taylor at Toyota of Gladstone. I had decided last Sunday to buy a newer vehicle for 2016. I found something on their website and filled out a credit application with Toyota Motor. Matt followed up with me very early the next day and kept in constant contact. I have a very busy job and the nature of my job does not allow me to talk on the phone to external parties much because I'm usually managing a team of representatives who are on the phones and sometimes I jump on as well. I'm also fielding a large number of work emails and don't always get to my own in a timely manner. Matt went out of his way to help me find what I was looking for and texted me to clarify my needs. Once we chatted briefly back and forth he found something that met my requirements. I was pleasantly surprised that he found a gem of a car...something I...really...wanted...and within the budget I was willing to spend...and I can be a bit persnickety. From here it was a simple matter of filling out the paperwork and letting their team make it happen for me. Matt checked in often and was cheerful and supportive. I'm not usually much for salespeople to be honest....and I've done sales before myself so I know the tricks of the trade....but Matt represented everything a sales person should be...attentive...positive...helpful.....informative...collaborative. His style was very polished but approachable and it was clear why he is the manager of the internet sales team. A special shout-out goes to their loan assistant (I'm not sure what her official title was). She was very efficient but helpful and made the final sign and prep portion of the deal as quick and painless as possible. In fact I was very impressed with how on the ball she was with getting it done quickly. All in all I had a very positive experience at this dealership and because of the supportive attention I received it encourages me to do business with them again. Being in a customer service environment myself my standards are very high and this dealership met and exceeded what I anticipated in terms of a positive buying experience...and I'm not the type to gush unless I am gob-smacked.

We bought a Toyota 4Runner from Kermit Steward this past weekend and have never had a better experience buying a new car. We pretty much knew what we wanted and Kermit was great working with us at finding the right car at the right price. Kermit talked to us about options, but without being obnoxious, and we never felt like we were being jerked around (unlike with many other dealerships we talked to before coming to this one). Once we found the right car and decided on the price, the paperwork was smooth sailing -- no sudden extra fees or need to talk to the manager about a different price. Kermit then was really helpful in setting us up and getting us on the road -- helping us connect our phones, setting up the Entune system, explaining different bells and whistles, etc. Kermit is a good guy and we highly recommend him.

When my husband and I arrived at the dealership, we met Khzam who appeared to be - he later confirmed that he was - leaving for the day. He didn't hesitate to assist us and was a pleasure to work with over the next few hours. With a set budget for a monthly lease, it was easy and quick to get the right price.Jason, who we signed the paperwork with, was just as friendly and helpful - clearly explaining additional options for us to consider.Not once did either myself or my husband feel pressured and we are both very pleased with how well they worked to help us get what we wanted.Thank you!

Went to Gladstone for the 30,000 mile maintenance on my 20013 Tundra and was shown how easy it would be to upgrade from a 2013 to a 2016. My problem that I ran into was it cost me a lot more to swap vehicles. I was told that the canopy top on the 2013 would fit and the service department would install the top. After they installed it, they pointed out a 1 inch gap between the rear cab and the canopy after I signed for the new truck. I took the canopy back to where I purchased it and they were previously aware the 2016 rear bed was an inch longer then the 2013 and in order to properly correct this gap I need to replace the canopy with the correct size. So I had to order a new top and be out $1500.00. I took the word of the salesman and his manager that the canopy would fit the new truck, a simple tape measurement could have saved me a big headache. Also, I recently purchased 10 ply tires for my 2013 truck and was told that they can be installed on the new truck; however, I was never given any credit for the tires from the new truck. My buying experience was not pleasant, I was at the dealership from 10:00AM until after 6:00PM. I felt that I was pressured and rushed into this purchase. I was very happy with the 2013 Tundra and after I spend more money, I may develop the same feelings for the 2016.I must say that the finance and service departments were the shining stars of the dealership, if only the sales group would have been more knowledgeable of their product, I might have not bought the 2016 Tundra knowing that the canopy would not fit but I would have a been the same very satisfied customer with my older Tundra.

Firstly, Kermit was unavailable due to my tardiness, but he paired me with San and he was a great person to work with! Not once did he ask me anything about price until I truly found the car I liked.Smooth ride the whole way (pun intended) Both San and Damian were great and Dustin sealed the deal with no fluff, just plain and simple. This was a total team effort and I liked how much they cared what vehicle I was getting instead of just selling me anything. They worked with me on every aspect and at the end of the day and drove home happy!Thank you so much Gladstone!

We worked with Kenny Khzam, who did a great job of getting us the right car for the right price. He was very helpful and motivated, and I'd work with him again. We had come in to get our older model Toyota serviced, and decided to look at the new cars since we were in the market for a new car, as well. Kenny walked us through the lot to look at cars that met our price, and helped us locate the one that worked for us.

John Calhoun was my sales person at Gladstone Toyota. After several months of online research and hunting, I narrowed my dealership choice down to three. John was particularly sensitive to my needs and not at all pushy, so I decided to buy from him. If ten is the highest rating, I would give him a ten. The only process I would rate lower is the paperwork. I haven't bought a car in 13 years and am glad to say the experience has improved, with the exception of the paperwork. I fail to understand why it takes nearly an hour to produce the paperwork. I would definitely recommend John Calhoun to anybody I know who is looking to purchase a Toyota.

The staff, specifically Kermit Steward was 100% easy to work with and knowledgeable about the truck I bought. Kermit worked incredibly hard to win me over to the dealership and did it with ease. After an initial contact on my part to every Toyota dealership in Oregon and Washington, no other salesperson in a 600+ mile radius was as committed communicating well, and in general, just "showing up" consistently in my email inbox in a valuable way. So many salespeople get annoying to receive emails from because they never seem like they've taken the time to have any understanding of what a person is actually hunting for in their vehicle purchase, this was not the case with Kermit, he always made sure to discuss what I was interested in.

This dealership will go above and beyond to be sure you are happy with your purchase. If there is something you are not happy with just speak up and from the salesperson to top management they will do whatever it takes to make sure it is taken care of. Awesome follow customer service. Kenny Khzam was extremely knowledgeable with all the bells and whistles on my 2014 RAV4 Limited and took the time to set up voice recognition and sync my phone. I am positive if there is something I can't figure out he will be more than happy to help me.

Interested in a quality experience? Toyota of Gladstone and Kermit Steward will provide it. My wife and I both hate purchasing cars and neither one of us found this experience distasteful. That is a testament to the comfort we had with the sales team. I would also like to recommend this dealership for people with small children as they have a comfortable, clean, and well stocked playroom for kids. Kermit was very comfortable discussing our new vehicle while attending a tea party and sitting on a tiny chair. This made the whole experience more pleasant.

The sales staff was knowledgeable and helpful and we got a fair price on the car. Very happy in that regard. I think the dealership in general needs to put some time and money into technology - a good scanner for sending paperwork, documents in PDFs, etc. It's very easy to find the car or vehicle you want online, but the transaction paperwork could be much more efficient for the customer.

Arron W. was very friendly and straight forward. Great experience except for the finance portion. Paid cash, but still took too long! The finance guy spent too much time trying to sell extras. I told him I have purchased Toyotas based on their quality and reliability ( owner for the past 15 years) and he proceeded to tell me that they are not that reliable, take a look at the cars in the service department. I should have cancelled the sale, but one persons sales tactic does not change a good vehicle. As far as the sale of the 4Runner, price was straight forwards (with USAA car buying Program) and trade in value on my truck was on the high side of KBB. Expected 1 hour tops to close the deal since I was paying cash, but the process took three hours and I had to speak with three members of the "sales team" not a very streamline process.

I'm a stickler for trust. Gladstone Toyota instilled trust to me from the minute I stepped into the store. Even before. I had no idea I was going to purchase a car that day. My financial adviser and I looked on the computer to see what was best for me. He picked up the phone, called Kermit and told him exactly what I wanted. Kermit called back within 10 minutes. The results had us at the dealership and buying a new car. Thank you Kermit.

This dealership is receiving the 5 star rating from me because of my experience in buying a car from Aaron Waxenfelter. Aaron was honest and knowledgeable about the car I purchased. He was also very relaxed and did not pressure me into making a decision. After I purchased the car he spent time going over the features of the car that were necessary for me to drive away from the dealership and feel confident that I could drive my new car home. I gave him a call a few days after the purchase to ask for help with a couple of the features on the car. He was happy to hear from me and answered my questions with respect and assured me that I could call him anytime if I had any further questions. Great salesperson. I would recommend him to anyone buying a car.

I was told things that needed to be done on my wife's car. Things that I looked at had been done. Recommending things like wiper blades that were new be replaced.

I intend to take my repairs elsewhere and there I will take my purchases with me.

I don't remember the persons name that helped me when I bought my 2009 Toyota Prius, but I remember it was a good interaction and I thought that I got everything that I paid for. Not even a year later when I had to make a choice of getting rid of my Prius or face repossession, I decided to trade in my Prius and my wife's Rav4 for another car at a different dealer. The reason for my poor review is because of the Finance person that I worked with. He is the first door to the right of the main desk in the lobby on the North Side. When I was attempting to trade in my vehicle and see what cancellables were available to me is where I found all the lies and deceit. First thing was that they changed the price of my car from when my wife and I first applied for finance to a higher price that was so well done that we didn't notice the $1,000 change. Second was that I was suppose to have a Toyota Warranty for my vehicle and I found out it was a non-Toyota warranty called National which doesn't cover near as much as the Toyota warranty that I was promised to have. After the trade was complete and I returned to Gladstone Toyota, the finance person that I mentioned above made up a number he felt was fitting for me to cancel my warranty. I even asked what is an estimate of what I was going to get back and how much was the original purchase price since the shades were over my eyes for a year. He said you'll get about 20-30% back and eluded to the actual price I paid for. While still working with him and he asked me why I wanted to cancel the warranty. I informed him that I traded the vehicle at a different dealership closer to home. He got really upset and even stated, "why didn't you come buy from us". He then did something on the computer that printed out a form that I wasn't able to see and when asked he wouldn't show me. Frustrated I called the warranty company and asked what did they need for a correct odometer reading. The company informed me that I should have received a odometer disclosure from trade. Sure enough I did and the difference from what the finance person came up with and the actual amount that I told him it was around was over 750 miles off. What I told him was about 100 miles at most off. I would seriously think again about working with Gladstone Toyota. They have been shady with my family since we got our Camry from them.Side note: I did not work with David, but I needed to choose a name.

I went into the Toyota Gladstone dealership with a pretty clear idea of the truck I wanted to get, make, model etc, but I wasn't sure about all of the options, and wasn't really in any hurry to buy anything. I called and made an appointment to test drive some of the trucks and when I got there I was introduced to Jonathan Hale who I found to be very knowledgeable, mellow, and easy to talk to.One of the things I was a bit hesitant about when I was getting serious about buying, was dealing with going into a dealership and being drug around listening to an endless banter of up-sale and trying to point me in a direction I didn't want to go. Jonathan was basically the opposite of my idea of a car salesman. He was extremely patient with me and answered all of my questions about options in a very clear way. He never tried to steer me towards a different type of car or for more than I was after. His patience and non-pushy attitude allowed me to hone in on exactly what I wanted and feel comfortable about it. When I made it clear I wasn't in a hurry he never tried to rush me. Over the coarse of a few days we negotiated prices and options, and he never once was pushy. My experience with them was a simple, clear, direct line of communication, and I found them to be extremely reasonable during negotiating. Because I had such a clear picture of the truck I wanted, we only had to spend a few hours at the dealership test driving one day, and then around an hour closing on the day we decided to bring the truck home. Being in the dealership was a very comfortable, mellow situation, and I found all of the staff to be extremely professional, calm, and friendly. I had expected to be worn down from the experience but found it to be very refreshing and a bit exciting. I got the truck I wanted with no hassle, and felt like I received Jonathan's complete attention without being pushed. I would certainly recommend anyone in the area looking for a Toyota to head down to Gladstone and ask for Jonathan, that is unless you like the stereotypical used car salesman.

Great team to work with when buying our car. We felt we were treated fairly and with respect. They thoroughly answered every question and never hesitated to go "the extra mile". They were professional and very personable. Kermit and Ted made the difference on why we decided to purchase a car from Toyota of Gladstone.

I bought my first brand new car here and it could not have gone any better! I couldn't have gotten a better deal or better service. Everyone at this location was extremely helpful and happy to help with anything I needed. Their main concern was to make sure I was happy and got the best deal. Very impressed with this dealership and all the employees.

I was in the market to trade in my 2013 car for a new vehicle after relocating to Oregon. After having become frustrated with the dearlership of the type of cars I had been driving for 5+ years I found myself looking online at Toyotas. I submitted an online inquiry and literally within minutes I had a response back from Kermit at the dealership with the exact info I was looking for. I immediately went to the dealership and he kindly introduced me to Noel. I was incredibly impressed with her professionalism and knowledge about the vehicles. In addition she simplified the buying process and was a true advocate for her customer. Within an hour, we had struck a deal and I purchased the new vehicle on first visit. What swayed me away from the luxury vehicle I had been previously driving for many years was the exceptional customer service and the best price was provided upfront without the typical back and forth games. The dealership interior is immaculate and the incredibly friendly and approachable staff operate as a family. It truly was a combination of superior product, great price and most importantly exceptional beyond words customer service by Noel and team at the dealership. Having driven my new car for two weeks now I continue to be incredibly impressed and will continue to actively promote this dealership in particular. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, I strongly recommend that you visit Noel at Gladstone as you will not be disappointed. Sending a huge thank you to Noel and the team at Gladstone for the exceptional customer service!!! I would not consider going anywhere else for my next purchase.

It's best to judge a dealership when something gets delayed and Kermit gets top marks ... I recommend this dealership because when they caught themselves saying ..."Just five minutes" ... Three times too many ... They understood and addressed it.

After several dealership enquiries, and one dealer visit, I decided to pay a visit to Gladstone. I had received the most prompt and professional responses from them, and an assurance that I would be pleased with the attention and, most importantly, the deal.Arrived mid day for the booked appointment and got right down to business. The vehicle I wanted was prepped and ready for a test drive. We decided to proceed, and the process was smooth and professional. I'm no newcomer to vehicle purchases, and I must say that this experience at Gladstone was 'almost enjoyable, and nearly painless' ;-) The courtesy followup calls have been a pleasant and appreciated surprise. Professional, no nonsense transaction. Highly recommended.

We recently bought a new tundra and were surprised how well things went! Kermit was very helpful and called back immediately with any info I needed!..the process of negotiation is never fun, but I felt they were very open and fair in working out our deal. When we went to pick up our new tundra it was in beautiful condition and Kermit spent as much time as we needed helping us set up the navigation system and all the new "doodads" to figure out. I would recommend Gladstone Toyota to my friends!

Tyson is all about service and helping the customer. Tyson was helpful with his advice when we were in the buying stage, and he went out of his way to help us get the parts that were part of our purchase. That included going out and helping install a cargo cover, that was not that difficult, but he wanted to make sure that we knew how it was supposed to go on, and make the process easier. He was up front with the costs, and friendly to deal with.

We had visited another dealer and were unimpressed. Decided to drive across town to visit Gladstone Toyota on recommendation of Costco. We were introduced to Nate Hayes. He absolutely knew his product!! He shared detail after detail, helped us choose our Pruis V, and began the negotiations. John, one of the managers, came over. It was pretty painless. John was a true professional. We enjoyed both Nate and John and would easily recommend them and Gladstone Toyota... As we shared our experience with friends we came to learn one of them had also purchased their Pruis from Gladstone and Nate. Thank you for making our experience actually enjoyable. I am excited to be driving my first Pruis and love it!

We went shopping for our fifth Prius in the early Spring. Four of the Prius are in excellent condition including one with 170,000 miles. One Prius was totaled but with all the Prius safety features, I was well protected and lived through a really nasty accident.We initially shopped at the dealer we had used four times before but they didn't seem to know the much about the 2015 Prius nor were they very interested in dealing for the car. I also disliked the song and dance of the credit guy who always tired to add on a lot of extras we didn't want.I was so happy to meet Jonathan Hale at Toyota of Gladstone. He not only knew the answer to all the questions I had but really worked hard to get our business. Everybody I met at Toyota of Gladstone was pleasant to deal with. When the car was ready, Jonathan brought it out to our home in Aloha which is a hour away from the dealership. With all the cars I have purchased in my lifetime, nobody ever brought a car to my home.You can be sure I will be back and I tell my friends about the service I received.Jim Doane

So this gentleman calls me , responding to my online inquiry. And is only aimed to have me drive freaking 1 hr down to his store with zero information about the inventory they have. I was looking for Toyota Sienna, and your online inventory doesnt show of any sienna's . So the best thing would be to read out what you have in stock, before throwing out a challenge to the customer to pick business in their best interest. He was very rude to respond to me by saying " How could you rate your deal from another dealer as best, unless you have not visited my store, and waste my time on the call ? "

After pouring in a ton of money into a car that a previous private-party dealer had been very misleading about, I was not very happy to be shopping again, and definitely didn't want to deal with car salesmen. I was originally approached by a saleswoman who I found to be incredibly pushy, even to the point of harassing, and I left the dealer. However I did go back later to look at a 2012 Toyota Prius C and requested a different sales person. Enter Kermit Steward. I told him what I was looking for and he showed me the car, plus a few others that were very close to my criteria. He showed me nothing else, even when my husband wanted to play looksee with other "cooler" vehicles. Kermit never veered from my goals, and he never once pressured me to buy it. We went on a lovely drive in the car and he was fun, courteous, and informative. After I decided to buy the car, he really went to bat for us to get us a great deal on the car, even with my worthless trade-in. Car buying can take a while, but I never felt like Kermit was ignoring us or putting us off to do other things. I really appreciated his good humored nature, empathy, and respect for my limitations. I was in such a good mood after the purchase that during financing I was talked into getting the platinum care package for my car - and I am SO glad I did! Much later, I was talking to a friend who, as it turns out, had also bought her car from Kermit. She had much the same experience. My family is good on cars for the foreseeable future, but I will always refer people to Kermit. Not only did I not mind the experience, but I actually found it to be PLEASANT! Highly recommend this dealership and Kermit in particular.

Let me start by saying that I hate car shopping. This being said, my experience with Kermit Steward and his team at Gladstone Toyota was surprisingly pleasant. They showed me the exact car I came in to see... not a handful of others that they were just trying to sell. He and Don Armstrong worked hard to get my payment to right where I needed it to be, which I greatly appreciate. When it came to financing, Tasney McNew was super laid back and made the signing process a breeze. And bonus! She said that she would make a call the next day to see if she could get me a better rate based on some things in my credit report, which she actually followed through with, and in fact, got my rate dropped down even more than what I had originally signed for. I appreciate the fact that she made that extra effort. Not a lot of people would have bothered to take the time to do that. Definitely left feeling like I got a great deal on a great car. Thanks, guys for making my car buying experience much easier than expected!

I leased a 2015 Prius C three from Toyota of Gladstone dealership and we finalized all the contract and I drove the car home assuming all is set. The next day they called me stating that they made a mistake in the contract. I went to see them and they said I was suppose to take 2014 not 2015, after lots of taking I agreed. The dealership turned out to have no 2014 Prius C three available but he promised that he will get it. During a period of two weeks they kept annoying me by messages and emails that they can't find the color I want on 2014 and I have to return the 2015 Prius. I ended up returning the Prius C three 2015.

I had a great experience buying my 2014 Toyota Prius at Gladstone. Tom was very proactive in finding what I was looking for (which was not readily available in any of the other dealers I had checked - Royal, Moore, Ron Tonkin, Capitol and Wilsonville dealers).. Even though they did not have the Prius V with panoramic roof at Gladstone, Tom was the only sales rep that took the time to check around and within 24 hours he found exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciated his help without pushing a sale, just understanding the need and ensuring I was a 100% satisfied. Awesome customer service!!!

I often dreaded the thought of going to a dealer to buy a car. The scams, tricks and lies that I had heard about suggested that the aggressive sales and marketing ploys in this country were simply ridiculous. I was happy to hand over the buying side to the AAA member's dealer! But then you come across a dealership or two in which the sales team has significantly changed the way they approach the sale and which leads to a pleasant and enjoyable experience. That was certainly the case with Ted who worked with us to identify the vehicles as well as guide us through the thought process. Pascha was our first point of contact who kept in touch throughout.

Toyota of Gladstone made this was another positive car buying experience through USAA's TRUECar buying service. Seth Dustin quickly contacted me after my initial internet request for a 2015 Highlander with a specific color and trim package. Seth worked diligently to find our specific vehicle and still honored the price I requested. Tom Angel made follow up contacts with us and was prompt to our scheduled appointment. With a busy family schedule, our car buying process needed to be short and sweet. When we arrived at the dealership our vehicle was parked out front, detailed and ready to tour. Tom did an excellent job giving us a tour of the vehicle. I was extremely impressed how knowledgeable Tom was with every feature of the vehicle. I will definitely recommend Toyota of Gladstone to family, friends and co-workers.

We had a great experience at Toyota of Gladstone where we found our 2013 Toyota Tacoma. Kermit Stewart made the experience much more pleasant and would highly recommend to see him to help you find the vehicle just right for you. Kermit is super friendly, he will stay in contact with you if he doesn't have the vehicle that you're looking for when you're ready to go to the dealership to shop, and once you find yourself at the dealership, he is great to work with in terms of getting you what you want in the vehicle you want. Daniel helped in this area as well as he was able to get us the #'s we wanted. Daniel is also super friendly and will totally work hard to get you the #'s you want. Brian in Finance made that process easy and fast. Kermit also stays in contact with you after you've purchased your vehicle to check on you and your new/used vehicle. Talk about exceptional customer service. We will definitely be back to see Toyota of Gladstone for our future new/used auto needs.

I purchased a Toyota several years ago from another dealership and was prepared to start comparing numbers from other dealerships. Kermit at Gladstone was the first to respond to an e-mail request that went out to other dealerships. Our plan was to start there and go on to others. However the attitude and customer care was very refreshing. The honesty and openness shown to us made it apparent there was no need to go anywhere else. Kermit and the staff at Gladstone made the purchase a very comfortable experience. It was a good way to start the new year.

I've purchased two cars at Toyota of Gladstone so far. Prior to my purchases here, I owned Subarus. When I test drove the Highlander, I fell in love (loved my old Camry years ago too!) so it was easy to make the switch! Just this summer, 6 years after my first purchase, I traded in my '02 for an '07 Highlander Hybrid! Love! Better gas mileage and less money and time at the pump makes me a super happy! And it lacks nothing that my '02 had with more power to boot! Honestly, car shopping is not normally my favorite thing to do- imagine that! I find it so much work and sort of stressful too! But not so much at this dealership. It still takes time but I find that the kind men and women here take the stress out of it all! I've never felt pressured nor led astray in any way! My husband used to change my oil and work on my car but since he doesn't really enjoy that stuff (more necessity) I just take it in to Jenny and her team and they take great care of me. I always feel like my concerns are heard and addressed and that I get quality parts and reliable service. Toyota of Gladstone really is that great. Totally worth checking out if you're in the market for a new or 'new to you' vehicle or if you gotta get some service done and wanna know it's gonna be done right! PS They had a great waiting area and coffee shop within but are currently undergoing a significant remodel so waiting area is a tad different for now... but I trust that when the work is complete that the experience will be better than ever before.

I took extra care to try and get the best deal possible on a new 4Runner over a period of several months. This involved contacting several dealers and receiving empty promises from many of them. Kermit and Seth at Toyota of Gladstone were very patient with me throughout this process, and kept in touch in order to keep their offer alive. It worked, and I am very pleased with their work. Especially in contrast to some of the other local dealers, Toyota of Gladstone really showed well.

The service at Toyota Gladstone is superior. The sales team was able to work with me on cost and appreciated my circumstances. I was able to find a certified, like-new car within my price range thanks to Kermit and the rest of the team. I was treated with respect and the entire process ran smoothly, from the test drive to the final paperwork. Thanks Toyota Gladstone for such a positive sales experience!

Toyota of Gladstone is part of the Costco auto buying program and that's why I went to the dealership.To my surprise, the price negotiation was very painless. No need to go back and forth many times. They also told my trade-in at reasonable price. The salesman was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. My wife and I had a hard time deciding between Shoreline Blue and Predawn Gray color on the Highlander. We asked the salesman to drive the cars with the 2 colors under the shade and under the sun for comparison, back and forth. He was more than happy to do that.I would recommend this dealership. Give them a chance.

As many do we hated the idea of buying a new car and being at the mercy of as pushy sales person. Jonathan was anything but pushy. He gave us space, answered our questions and helped us drive away with a product that we wanted.

This was the only car lot I visited upon my very first car purchase, ever. Kermit invited me out. I appreciated his focus and happy attitude with helping to meet my shopping criteria. I especially appreciated how he quickly went through all the steps to get the price I could afford and stick with and get the paper work rolling. I would certainly send my friends and family to see Kermit when it comes time to car shop.

I purchased a used van at the beginning of November. The salesman promised to get us the full set of mounted snow tires from the guy who traded it in. We purchased on Friday and were supposed to come pick up the tires on Monday. After calling monday, my wife received a return call from the salesman who said "sorry, the tires were sold on craigslist." I called the sales manager directly and asked what he was going to do for me. He said, "if they promised you tires, they are going to have to deliver." I was supposed to get a call back from an assistant sales manager named John Hill, who was involved in the sale. After calling back several Times and getting nowhere, I filed a complaint with the BBB. On close to the last day they were able to respond, sales manager Rich called to offer me a certificate for a full detail instead of tires. He said he would mail it out around the beginning of December when I talked to him. The certificate was good for two years and I could bring it in on the last day. Later that same day, I received an email from the BBB saying the dealership claimed to have resolved the issue and lack of response would settle the complaint. On the good faith that my certificate was in the mail, I did not respond. New years eve I called back wondering where my detail certificate was. John hill called me back and tried to say no tires were promised after I explained the entire story. John Hill called back again to tell me that sales manager Rich never said he'd send me a certificate. I told him that his boss was a liar, and that if he chose to do business that way, I'd not be able to recommend them to anyone. John Hill calls a third time to tell me, " I had a tiff with Rich and you have your detail, because I have lots of money." he said come on in and get it done, I said it didn't need it yet. I didn't even want a detail, I wanted the tires that I was promised originally.

Buying a car used to be something we feared and avoided. The folks at Gladstone Toyota/Scion made the buying experience a great one, especially Kermit. He was kind and open and went out of his way to work with me.

Working with Gladstone Toyota was a great purchasing experience. Right from the start I was shown all the options I was interested in seeing. In addition, I was given every opportunity to ask questions and express my concerns. The purchase was a non-pressure, non-hassle opportunity to make the best deal possible. I am very satisfied with all that Gladstone Toyota has to offer and would recommend them to anyone that is in the market for a new or certified used car/truck. I look forward to many years of professional customer service from their dealership. Thank You Kermit and Kyle, you guys are great!

A big 'thank you' to David E. for calling me to follow up on my inquiry. Tom A. was very professional and made the process run very smoothly. I'm very pleased with the quality of my new to me 2010 Tacoma. They did a good job on price and financing, which sealed the deal for me.

The battery for my Toyota 2006 Rav 4 was discharging during the night. It appeared like the one year old Toyota battery was failing. Gladstone Toyota looked over the car and cheerfully replace the year old battery at no cost. Unfortunately that was not the problem. Occasionally (becoming often) when the ignition was turned to off some electronics remained on draining the battery. When I returned to Gladstone Toyota the found the problem, consulted with me and had a new ignition switch in place in short order. Very pleasant service personnel.They also looked up all of the recalls and completed them all.

This is the 2nd car we have bought at this dealership and we were treated fairly and with respect both times. Manny Vargas was our sales rep and he went above and beyond for us. We experienced a no pressure sales experience that was refreshing. The sales manager Daniel worked hard to make sure we walked away getting, and paying what we wanted to. We'll definitely return and highly recommend them.

We knew what we wanted and how we wanted to get it. Jonathan was supportive every step of the way. He gave us honest answers and was sure to make things run smoothly. The service was exceptional. We would know being we shopped for a car for a month before purchase and even walked out during one sale because of an overly pushing sales manager. Highly recommend Gladstone Toyota!!!

As we all know the car buying experience can be a bit stressful. Jason Foulk was very knowledgeable about the Highlander we purchased and was very friendly. Gladstone Toyota was very easy to deal with until we visited the sales associate (M.K.). He was very rude and put a damper on the whole experience. I would recommend this dealership, but would ask to have a different sales associate process your paperwork and sign the final forms. Good selection on the lot, have not dealt with the service department yet.

I live in San Diego and had been searching for a specific Highlander for a several weeks. Most of the vehicles sold in SoCal are 2WD and my wife wanted 4WD in a hard to find color. I had talked to nearly a dozen dealerships who claimed they could get the car but it would "cost me extra" I am a military veteran and wanted the USAA pricing plan. Seth was straight forward and didn't try to pull anything over on me which convinced me to fly up to Portland to purchase the car from Gladstone. Tom picked me up from the airport and explained the details of the vehicle. The only glitch was waiting a few hours to talk with Brian Revore in finance, but he did a great job as well. I have worked with a few sales people over the years and you are fortunate to have Seth and Tom on your team. The reason I gave price a 4 instead of 5 was because the invoices are different in Oregon as opposed to California. Seth gave me the best possible price. If I lived in Oregon I would definitely recommend Gladstone to anyone purchasing a new car.

After the third time. By far the worst experience iv ever encountered in my entire life. Let me just start of by saying these guy are a HUGE joke & give other toyota dealerships a bad name.You heard of bad customer service? Rudeness? Dumb xxxxx? Frauds? Scam artist? The list goes on ect. These guys fill in these shoes very well.My family has been buying cars from toyota for years. And every single time we go to "Toyota of Gladstone" it's a xxxx show. Just another sale on the books.Daniel one of the "Managers" here is by far the biggest lier & xxxxxxx of them all. To make matters worse they actually admitted they only made a deal with us because they had not met the weeks goals. Smooth move. They try to steer you away from your original goal. They are out to screw everyone and make every single deal possible not thinking of the clients exact needs/wantsMaybe you should not worry about your months numbers and actually care for your client, because some of us are actually loyal to Toyota.I will make sure the right people see this review.

I came in expecting a huge bill for a major repair. I was pleasantly surprised. After keeping my van overnight, it came back to me with a clean bill of health and a few new bulbs. Jenny got me a loaner for the overnight evaluation, kept me up to speed on the progress of my minivan, and had it ready when promised. I was thrilled with the thoroughness of their work and prompt service.

This is one of best car buying experience I ever had for long time. Manny is very friendly and knowledgeable on Toyota cars. From Internet emails, test drives, signing papers etc were all very professional. I arrived at dealership at 3:30pm, looked the car, test drove, learned new features, and went on buy the car (sign many papers) only took me about 2 hours. Because I am keeping my old car, Manny and his co-worker drove 28 miles one way and send me, new car and old car back to my home. And Manny kept emails with me after sale to answer my questions on the new car. It is the 1st rated customer service. Charles

Shopping throught the internet to get the answers I wanted saved a ton of time at the dealership, and Manny was the main man answering all my questions and staying patient until I finally made my way in. Manny was simply the best to work with. Thanks again. Everyone loves the truck; it is a beast.

I honestly couldn't believe the amazing service my wife and I received at Gladstone from Manny Vargas. As I drove out of the dealership that night with exactly the car I wanted at exactly the price I asked for, I was blown away by just how extraordinary a car buying experience it had been. From the first email to the moment we signed the papers, it couldn't have gone better. I can't stop telling family and friends about how great the service was. I have purchased a few cars in my time and this was easily the smoothest and most satisfying car purchase I've ever made. To this day, I know I can reach out to Manny with questions and he's totally on it. Seriouslyit can't be said enough. If you're looking to buy a Toyota or Scion, head to Toyota of Gladstone and ask for Manny Vargas.

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. Much of it was done on line. All I had to do was a test drive and sign the papers. There was no funny business. There was no game playing like you find at most dealerships. Seth Dustin was my on line contact and Kermit Steward handled the in person stuff. They were awesome. There's a Toyota dealership here in town but every experience I've ever had with them has been horrible. This was totally worth the 40 min drive.

Kermit was so professional and explained everything completely, the process was fantastic. I will recommend your dealership and my wonderful salesman to everyone I know. When I am ready for additional vehicles I will go and see Kermit!!!!! I think Kermit should be given a raise, he is the best.

When my 16 year old car literally broke, I needed a new car immediately. I went on my favorite Toyota dealership's website and found the car model I liked and could afford - a RAV4 - and sent them an email. I quickly received a message from their internet sales department and came in for an ppointment. I met with the salesman who listened to what my needs were, shiwed me several models, pre-owned and new. They gave me a great deal in a new one AND took my broken car as a trade in (they even towed it from the garage where it was towed to!)

I was interested in the Prius Plug-in through the Costco offer and was told my dealer match was down in Gladstone. With 3 kids in tow we drove all the way to Gladstone from NE Portland through the rain with only a couple hours in our schedule to spare. I would like to commend Pascha Jefferson for making this visit the most pleasant dealership visit I have ever had. She was prepared, thoughtful, kind and helpful. If anyone is looking for a positive, pleasant and easy dealership experience I would highly recommend Pascha (PJ) as your guide!

My sales guy wasn't pushy and didn't hassle me to buy a new car. He listened to what I wished for in buying my new car and helped me get there. He called to check in on my financial status, but never pressured me. I got a great car, a great deal, great service and a great low monthly payment price for my situation. They worked with me without the pressure. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

I have had great experience with Toyota of Gladstone during my recent purchase of a 2014 Camry. Tom Angel had a solution-oriented style to my approach with a reasonable, yet competitive offer and tried pursuing this by following up possibilities multiple times between me and his sales management in a persistent manner. Effectiveness of the overall process exceeded my expectations and I have no doubt that this dealership will continue to cherish in their new facility moving forward. I would certainly check with Tom for my future needs, and can sincerely recommend others to do so, too.

She is very knowledgeable and always takes the time to go over and above explaining what was going on with my previous vehicle and now with my new 2014 Sienna. My husband, daughter and grandson now see Jenny with their Toyota vehicles. They are also as happy with the service as I'm. Jenny is a very special lady, knows her business and is very understanding.

Took my car in for routine service. Was going to be a longer appt than I had thought, so they got me a rental car. Very easy. Received a phone call about other work that needed to be done, so I could decide what I wanted to do. Picked my car up the next morning. Everything finished like it should be, and pricing was what I was told it would be. Worked with Jenny in service. LOVE HER!! She is so sweet, and takes time to explain and go over everything. Don't really love taking my car in, but she makes it sort of fun.

I purchased a used vehicle from Gladstone Toyota and one of the selling points brought up to me over and over again was that it comes with a years free maintenance. So I made my first appt. and when I did I asked the guy on the phone what it covered and was told basically an oil change, all fluids filled and my tires rotated. I made the appt for 2:00 PM, I was 15 to 20 minutes early and the first in the service line. Meanwhile several other cars pulled in behind me. I found out that the only thing my free so called "Maintenance" for a year covers is the oil change and an inspection. After waiting for nearly 2 hours and watching all those who had come in after me leave with their cars I saw them pull my car into the shop. When they were done they marked on my receipt that I had corroded battery cables and a weak battery. Neither is true! I know this for a fact. They also told me when I called them after returning home that they had not removed the battery cables. That was not true. You see my car is a Lincoln LS and when removing the cables and putting them back on there is a certain procedure that needs to be followed. If you don't follow it your car will not run right or shift right.I found that out when I got a CD stuck and rebooted the player by taking off the battery cables and putting them back on. (NO corrosion either) That was the reason for my calling them after I got home. Removing the cables also removes all setting you have made for seat, pedal, and steering wheel that need to be reset. That part is no big deal but driving it without following the set procedure is. I am taking it to the Ford dealer tomorrow and I hope there has been no permanent damage done to the transmission.To sum up. If you have anything but a Toyota do not take it to Gladstone Toyota. I don't know if they know any more about a toyota or not. If you are buying a used car there just know that the so called FREE maintenance is nothing more than an oil change and if your time is worth anything to you your better off going to Jiffy Lube or Oil Can Henrys. The free so called maintenance is not what they want you to think it is. Would an insurance claim hold up if the only maintenance you did was change the oil? I think not.

My wife and I are grateful to everyone we met at Toyota of Gladstone for making our 2012 RAV4 purchase a pleasant car-buying experience. The internet sales manager, Seth, responded to our initial inquiries quickly.Seth was willing to negotiate the price in a low-key, straight-forward, and matter of fact way. Unlike another Toyota dealership that we interacted with last weekend, Seth didnt stonewall, get hostile, or try to feed us a big line of arrogant baloney about profits on the sale, blue book prices, intention to send the vehicle to another dealership or auction it if we didnt buy the car right away, etc.Based on preceding price research (prices on the internet, blue-book estimates, and negotiations with other dealerships), we feel that we ended up with a fair deal.Seth and his team member, Patrick, greeted us courteously when we arrived. Patrick was especially helpful, pleasant, prompt, personable, professional, knowledgeable, and resourceful while we inspected and test drove the vehicle. Patrick got the administrative details of the sale started and then wrapped up very efficiently.While the sales and business managers took some time to offer various scratch protection and extended warranty packages, they were polite, personable, accepted our responses, werent pushy, and got everything done quickly but thoroughly. In summary, everyone else at Toyota of Gladstone provided a wonderful contrast to some of the other car shopping experiences weve had. We will remember Toyota of Gladstone whenever we, or any of our friends, are in need of an automobile.

My wife and had the pleasant experience of meeting Aaron while looking for a new vehicle. Aaron arranged for my wife to test drive a new Rav4 and on a later visit I did the same. Like the other postings noted we found him to be honest and not pushy while showing us a good price with no hidden dealer markups unlike our experience elsewhere. After much weighing of pros and cons of other small SUV's we decided to buy a different vehicle from another dealer. If we had decided on the Rav4 I'm sure we would have enjoyed our buying experience that Aaron would have provided.

My dad and I purchases a 2012 V6 Tacoma this evening from Aaron and had very pleasant experience. The negotiating was fairly straight forward, the pricing was fair and the evaluation of the trade-in was direct. All in all, things were done in just a few hours from start to finish. I rated Toyota of Gladstone 5 stars because there really wasn't anything to dock them on. Happy Customers!

He helped me out with finding the right truck, with the right options, at the right price.

This is my second time in my life that I had to deal with a car dealership and car salesman. By far, this was the best experience that I've had. My wife and I went to look at the Sienna. We ended up buying it because of Aaron. He was very knowledgeable about the van we were looking at. He was very caring and took that time to help us answer all of our questions. He even helped us program the blue tooth in the van to our phone after we bought the van. Everybody there was respectful and treated us very nice when we first entered the dealership to leaving the dealership. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

My folks recently purchased a car from Toyota of Gladstone. It was a car with all kinds of bells and whistles with it. They were not completely sold on the idea. Although they didn't work with Aaron initially, Aaron offered up words of encouragement with out being pushy or judgmental to them. This was an important decision for them and wanted to make sure what they were doing was going to be a good thing for them in every facet. Again, Aaron offered up his opinions and thoughts to them with a great deal of patience and respect for their trepidations they expressed. I would recommend anyone looking for a car to go directly to Aaron. To be honest, I am not 100% sure of the direct salesman they worked with as I came into the picture later. However, I do know that there were many people willing to work with my folks and their needs which speaks highly of Toyota of Gladstone.

Aaron was very professional throughout my purchase experience. He was very knowledgeable of the vehicle I wanted to purchase, understood my purchase approach, and was very patient with me as I made my purchase decision. Once I made the decision to order exactly what I wanted, he followed up with periodically as the vehicle was making its way through the Toyota manufacturing system to keep me advised of the status. When the vehicle finally arrived and I as ready to take delivery, he spent a great deal of time explaining the features to me to insure I could safely and enjoyably operate the vehicle. It was overall a terrific purchase experience and I was pleased with the outcome.Richard Coker

I worked with Sandra and sent her an email outlining what I was hunting for and the price range. Sandra was on it immediately and found what I requested at the price I was willing to pay. It did take some time to get the car prepared since it had just arrived. I found Sandra to be knowledgeable and very helpful with getting my car set-up with the electronics. She will be following up with me to see if I have further questions in a few days. While at the dealership, the atmosphere was energetic and everyone that I met was helpful and nice. I do not live close to Gladstone but am thinking of driving the extra time because I really like this dealership.

Great experience purchasing our car. Aaron was interested, attentive and respectful. He answered all of our questions with certainty. We are pleased with the car we selected and the price we paid. We will definitely recommend Gladstone Toyota.

I felt lucky buying my Scion from Aaron, he understood my needs and price consideration. I wasn't sure what car fit my needs but he understood and took the time to find the car for me. He also followed up after the initial purchase to see if I had any issues that needed to resolved. Highly recommend Aaron, he sold me a great car!

There was no pressure tactics in the buying process - just entirely focused on what my interests were... Put forth significant effort in locating the car of my choice several hundred miles away when there was an initial low inventory. Highly recommend contacting Aaron for your next purchase - just one more reason to buy a Toyota.

Aaron was helpful, patient and extremely polite. My husband and I got to relate to Aaron on a personal level and he had us in and out of the dealership fast and satisfied!

I started working with Seth and Sandra in online sales. They were extremely helpful and continued contact with me as we worked out which vehicle fit me and my family's needs, and then when would be best for me to come in for a test drive. I was originally looking at a used 4Runner online, but then Sandra had a new 2014 4Runner that fit my needs just as much for the same price! I came in to find it actually worked out better! Sandra and Jonathon were able to find us better financing than we were able to on our own, which was a make or break for us at that point. Signed!We even received better financing when we went back to sign the papers! Amazing!The best part, and the main reason we chose to purchase and not walk away, was the amazing service from everyone we worked with! No one gave us the run around and we were treated like adults.I couldn't be happier and will definitely refer everyone I know to Toyota of Gladstone and these wonderful salespeople!

I had some positive back-and-forth emails with the sales representative, and followed up with an appointment to see the car I was interested in. I was impressed with how easy she made the process for me. Folks were attentive and not pushy, and I appreciate that. Overall, I'm very pleased with my experience.

Seth contacted me and answered all my questions. Sandra was very helpful. They were able to work with me on the price, offered me the "Green Care" package on top of the good price, and got me the car features I wanted. I am very happy.

In the market for a Toyota Sienna XLE with premium entertainment and tech packages, we ended up buying a Limited with all the advanced safety and entertainment features. Of all the Toyota dealers in the I-5 corridor from Ashland to Portland, Gladstone's Seth Dustin was the most willing to track down a vehicle at the price recommended by ConsumerReports' Build and Buy service. Assisted by Pascha Jefferson, Dustin helped us navigate through Toyota's dizzying array of options in order to get the desired configuration at the right price. While other dealers participate in the program, none was willing to deal with our requests in a timely manner. When internet buying over long distance and within a fixed buying window, people that are dedicated to the task make a significant difference. In addition, the finance manager was great in offering alternatives that allowed us to not only beat the bank's interest rate but also get a great extended warranty in the process.

Aaron was great to work with. I fully expected the hard sell but it just wasn't there. Aaron was patient and let us drive several different cars until we made up our minds. Even let us come back and drive the one we decided on a second time before we signed the deal. Thank you. I look forward to working with you again.

Dealership was fantastic, especially Kemick who found us a great deal on the Tacoma we wanted. We did almost everything through the internet, which made it very convenient. The dealership also gave us a fair trade-in value for our car. We were very happy with the whole deal and would recommend Kemick and Gladstone Toyota to anyone looking for a hastle-free quality car buying experience.

Aaron took the time to ask what exactly I wanted in a car, the options and all. He was good enough to come out to pick us up from Tualatin, since we had no transportation. He was very thoughtful. He did not try to rush us or push us into buying. At first I picked the Prius C and took it home. It turned out that I wasn't happy with the car, not enough features and too small, I was able to return it the next morning, without any hassle at all and he helped me select a regular Prius and I am much happier with this car.

Manny took his time with me while I tried to decide which car would work best for me. He very patient & answered all my questions (and I had a lot). He didn't rush me or force me in to a deal I wasn't comfortable with. By the end of the deal I was confident in my purchase and I have already recommended him & Gladstone Toyota to several people already. Thank you guys for all your help.

Aaron Waxenfelter made my car buying experience the easiest and most satisfying thing that I have ever done when purchasing a new car. The initial contact with Aaron was through an internet web page that I selected the vehicle with options and then received an email from Aaron. I then talked to Aaron on the phone about what I was interested in and he searched the database for a car that met my criteria. He made me an offer and I counter offered a price that was accepted. I was able to put a down payment on the car with my VISA card and Aaron arranged to have the new 2012 Toyota Highlander transferred to Toyota of Gladstone for me to pick up. The entire transaction took place in the comfort of my home office and I did not have to even come into the showroom until the day I came to pick up the car. We met Aaron at the dealership -- took a test drive just to check out the new car; signed all the papers with Aaron's help and then he took time to explain all the features of the new car so I was comfortable driving it home. This was the easiest new car purchase I've ever done in my life, thanks to Aaron Waxenfelter and the crew at Toyota of Gladstone.

We had not purchased a car in many years and was quite honestly a bit wary of working with a dealer given their general reputation. But now having gone through the process, we are satisfied and it's because we had the opportunity to work with Ted. His knowledge, patience, friendliness, and attention to detail throughout the entire process was absolutely critical to our purchasing of our used 2012 Highlander. With Ted's help, we were able to negotiate a price we were comfortable with, and he was more than willing to answer all of our questions in all aspects of the process. He even spent the time to come home with us to clean out one of our trade-in vehicles to bring back to the dealership.There is no question we would not be driving the Highlander we have today if it were not for the superior customer service we received from Ted. Even after we drove it off the lot, he gave us his number so that if there were any issues that we not hesitate to get in contact with him. Sure enough there were some issues with financing out of his control, but he did his very best to help get the issues resolved and make sure we were satisfied with the results. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Ted, not only from a business transaction perspective but from a personal relationship perspective as well. If one is looking at purchasing a vehicle via internet sales with this dealer, we would highly recommend Ted to work with.

Thanks to Manny and Seth we had the best buying experience ever. My husband and I have worked at Dealerships for a combined time of 45 years. We made our deal over the telephone, and to my great surprise these gentlemen had no problem in keeping their word. We got a great deal on our Toyota Tacoma and such a great experience. Thank you to Manny and Seth!

I have purchased 3 vehicles from this dealership in the last year. I bought a New Tacoma for myself, a Corrola for my son and a Scion for my daughter. The only reason I keep coming back is this dealership is very easy to work with. Other dealership's didn't even come close to giving me what I wanted for my trade in. These guys gave me several thousand dollars more on my trade then any other dealership. So I would highly recommend you stop by if your in the market for a new vehcile. The one thing I really like is there is zero pressure to buy everyone is very friendly. Every time I have gone to this dealer I have used Aaron. He is great. I just tell him what I looking for and how much I'm looking to spend and he has always came in on budget within a couple dollar's.

Aaron was very knowledgeable about the car I wanted to buy. I asked many questions about the features in which I was interested, and he was able to answer all of them on the spot. He provided a thorough overview of the car and made sure my test drive included city streets, highways, etc. so I could experience how the car would perform in different scenarios. I will definitely work with Aaron again when its time for my next car.

I have nothing but praise for Kemick Larson in the way he handled my purchase. I started looking 4 months prior to my purchase from Gladstone Toyota. Kemick hung in there and continued to answer my questions and calls never seeming frustrated or disinterested. I would recommend Kemick Larson to anyone seeking to purchase a vehicle. Thank you!

Just one year ago we acquired a Toyota Venza from Gladstone. We live in Hanover, NH and started the process via the internet and telephone. The car we wanted was delivered as promised at the agreed price (we used the Costco auto program). Aaron Waxenfelter was our rep and he did a fine job in all respects. All employees at the dealership that were involved gave us great service. We drove the car across country and had our first service in Fargo, ND. The Toyota dealer there was also very good. We have had zero problems. We are happy campers.

I spent probably two weeks searching online at dealership sites, Saturday newspaper, Craigslist, & walking some dealership lots.I worked with Ted Rippee at Toyota of Gladstone. He helped me find the perfect car for my needs (a Toyota Camry with 13,500 miles). Working with him was very easy & I got an almost new car at a GREAT price!Isn't that what any consumer wants: Great people to help you plus getting a very good value. I would rate this dealership the highest of any I have ever been to. Thanks for a GREAT BUYING EXPERIENCE!

I give Aaron a 5 out 5 because he exceeded my expectations when looking for a new car. I reached out to 5 dealers in my initial search for a vehicle and Aaron was the ONLY salesperson who actually listened to requirements and helped me navigate the model options. He was never pushy and went out of his way to provide answers to every question I had. In the end he found our "perfect" van out of state and had the van delivered to OR.

The 2014 Toyota Highlander from Gladstone Toyota is the best vehicle we ever purchased not only based on vehicle performance but most importantly the customer service my wife and I received from Ted Rippee.Given our initial not so positive experience of not having the vehicle available for sale, I would like to thank Ted for his professionalism and impeccable customer service to make things right. It was his demeanor and follow up that made us feel like this was the best vehicle we ever purchased. As I indicated we were not sure about continuing the purchase process, however because of Ted's exemplary attention to detail, explanation of features, and follow thru made our vehicle purchase enjoyable.Ted has gone above and beyond in personally delivering the vehicle to our home. We greatly appreciate his dedication and making us feel how wonderful the car buying experience can be!!!I will strongly recommend Ted Rippee at Gladstone Toyota to friends, family, and colleagues. Best Regards,Leonard Aguigui

Our family was in need of a different vehicle to be shared by me (the mom) and our driving age children. We had a trade in and wanted a newer, safer SUV. We had test drove other brands of SUVs and wanted to visit Toyota. We were lucky to have Aaron Waxenfelter approached us and explain what Toyota had to offer in SUVs, explaining the differences in those models, as well as the reliability and comfort for traveling. Aaron had all the answers to our questions without having to refer to anyone else or a manuel. He worked with my son and I with the most comfortable sales attitude. We test drove the 4Runner and the Highlander models. We bought a new Highlander Limited in that visit and would definitely purchase from Aaron again.

After waiting for a light blue car for 25 years, settling in on a Toyota Camry and certain 'sky blue pearl' color ONLY on certain Camry models and years; Aaron went the extra mile, put his thinking cap on and when a car meeting our description came to the lot - a phone call was made. We were experiencing a death in the family at the time and imminent trip out of town, but the gentle persuasion and patience offered by Aaron helped us make the decision to buy (what ended up being) my dream car! The 'extra mile' became literal in that he helped get the 'new' car to our Washougal home with very little worry or trouble on our part. We would highly recommend the dealership simply because Aaron works there!!!

Aaron was a fine sales rep. Straightforward, thorough and considerate. This is my third vehicle purchased from this location (11th Toyota over the last 38 years). Everything was taken care of as promised. What more can you ask for? A great truck, an honest salesman and a relatively easy experience with the finance department. Did I say I love my new truck? Its the fastest, most powerful vehicle I've ever owned.

Called to have latch replaced as it broke and could not open the rear latch. Called service department and was told it was not an uncommon situation and the part was in stock and approx price to repair was $300. got a call and said more was broken and would be $471. to repair. When I picked up, there was no one that could explain why the difference on a seemingly common repair and no old parts to show that were repaired.I have taken my vehicle here for many years which began under different ownership and service before this I had a similar experience and really don't have faith that I am being treated honestly.

Aaron was really great in helping my husband and I buy our first car. At first, we were looking on craigslist and other sites to find a car that worked for us. I was skeptical about going to a dealership because of all the horror stories that I've heard from friends about being tricked and spending way too much on a car that they truly didn't even like that much. We went not expecting to buy a car that day, but with Aaron's friendliness and easy-to-talk-to attitude, it became clear that we had someone on our side. Thanks for all the help Aaron and we love our Toyota Corolla! -Ryan and Kayla Miller

I wasn't expecting to actually buying a car when i walked into the dealership but with Aaron's ability to put you at ease and how friendly he was I not only drove off with a vehicle it ended up being a 2014. I would go back there any time as long as I got to deal with Aaron.

What can I say? These guys take things to the next level. I've been working with this site for the last two years, and I don't see things changing any time soon. This is a good thing. Not only did Gladstone Toyota help me find the perfect vehicle (Toyota Yaris) two years ago when I was first starting out as a professional, they bought it back and hooked me up with a Rav4 now that I've moved up in my career. Wow...just...wow. I can't say enough good things about these guys.Here's a little back story. When I got my Yaris, I was working community based mental health care. So basically, I was taking folks around in my car to make sure they made their appointments and had food so they wouldn't be rehospitalized over and over and over again. That Yaris got the job done and more. I never had any worries. Then one day, after I moved on to a different job doing similar stuff, Gladstone Toyota contacts me and wants my Yaris. I thought to myself, "but I owe so much on it". Apparently this wasn't a factor. I feel like Gladstone Toyota wanted to make sure I had everything I wanted and needed. They must be mind reader, because I've been thinking about a Rav4 for the last 6 months.All in all, I can't wait to see what the coming years brings us, because I'm sold as a life long customer. The only thing that would make things even sweeter would be a bird of prey thrown in on the deal...like falcon or something...or maybe a vulture. Kemick will know what I'm talking about. Thanks all!Best regards,Terry

I have been a proud owner of 3 new Toyota vehicles bought from Ted Rippee. My previous purchases have been at other dealerships other than Gladstone but not for lack of trying there. Our last couple purchases were with Ted Rippee were when he worked at another dealership. We went back to that same dealership and quickly realized that it was really Ted that made the difference in whether we made a deal or not. When we found out Ted was now at Gladstone Toyota and we were hesitant due to negative experiences we had the last couple times there. Ted remembered us, he was kind, patient and worked hard to try to get us the best deal but we did not make a deal that day. In fact we had to sell what was our trade on our own, then we were undecided on what we wanted, new or used, prerunner or 4X4, He wants black but she wants grey, clearly we were not ready to buy. Ted was patient and navigated every option with us and I never got a sense that he was frustrated by our indecisiveness. He returned every phone call and answered every question. He did not call us multiple times to see if he could try to make the deal work again. Once I found the best deal I gave Ted an opportunity to beat it. He could only match it, however we still gave Ted and Toyota of Gladstone our business. I have a strong sales background so I Hate being sold. The other dealerships made me feel like I was getting sold whether it was a good deal or not. Ted let us buy on our terms and on our timeline. At the end of the day a few hundred dollars doesn't make or break anybody but the fact is people buy from people and Ted is great at building relationships. I love my new Tacoma, I Highly Recommend Ted Rippee, and I would do business again at Toyota of Gladstone. Monique

I went to Toyota of Gladstone to purchase my first brand new vehicle ever, and was extremely satisfied with the service I received. I worked directly with Aaron Waxenfelter, and he was wonderful to work with. He was very considerate of what I was looking for, my budget, and my concerns. He made several relevant suggestions and helped me find the car that was (and still is) just right for me. I never felt pressured or manipulated, which is something I was very nervous about happening in this experience. I would highly recommend this dealership!

Kemick was very pleasant to work with over the phone. He researched a couple used Prius Hatchbacks and gave me his honest opinion of them. Since I live 100 miles away I appreciated him doing this. Even though I didn't end up purchasing a car from your dealership it had nothing to do with Lemick and my experience related to him. I would not hesitate to do business with him in the future.

It started with a computer inquiry.I got so much feedback I called and I walked Seth thru what I thought I wanted to do and he agreed.We drove to Gladstone and they looked over the trade and we came together on a value.We talked about the computer info and came together on the new car price.We're driving home a new Toyota Venza tomorrow. People person's treating the customer in responsible manner while working thru a business negotiation with a win/ win attitude and out come. This is the way the car business USED TO BE (don't like now but my age is showing) and its this way in Gladstone. I believe the management/owner need a pat on the back for fostering this attitude with their sales staff. And its really nice after all is said and done to get a sincere "Thank You". In my opinion this dealership will survive and prosper because of their people and their business attitude.

Patrick Christina gave us the BEST ever car buying experience!! As members of Costo, we went through the process and were connected with Patrick. After a few phone conversations, we decide to head out to the dealership. Not being very fond of the car buying experience, we did not know what to expect. But, Patrick was VERY knowledgable and answered all of our questions. He understood exaclty what we were looking for and did not try to pressure us into something that we did not want or need. He was very friendly, honest, and a very good listener. I can honestly tell you that it was the best car buying experience we have ever had! Not to mention that everyone there was wonderful. We are not usually people who buy a maintenance plan either, but Tasney McNew walked us through everything, and we felt it was something that would benefit us. The guys in the shop at the RED stop were equally welcoming. We felt like everyone there actually cared about us and our buying experience.AND, the car is fabulous!!!! We love it!Thank you Gladstone Toyota and especially Patrick!

Aaron is amazing! Best experience I've ever had buying a car. This was my first new car (2014 scion tc) and he made it the best experience. Always answered my questions honestly and in a timely manner (email or phone calls no matter what). He worked with me to get what I wanted within my budget. He went out of his way to make sure I knew how everything in my car worked before I drove away. It was fantastic. He has been great even after my purchase making sure everything was going okay and making sure all my questions were answered. My parents recommended him to me because they also bought a car from him about a year ago and I've already passed on his information to my sister. I will absolutely be back in the future and I hope to work with Aaron! Love gladstone Toyota scion!

I received excellent service from the team at Toyota Gladstone I purchased a 2014 Avalon. Aaron my sales representative, was very professional, informative and mostly patient. It was a long buying process due to the car selection and saving to put a more than 50% down payment on my new car. Being a single female buying a car for the first time, was a positive experience thanks to Aaron. He was respectful and answered all of my questions to provide confidence that I was purchasing a car based on needs and personal interest. Aaron greeted me in the parking lot in a friendly and professional manner. I was worried I might get a "Used Car" mentality car sales person and he wasn't like that at all and the rest is history... Thank you, Deb

I was considering a new vehicle and talked with Jenny about it. She suggested I talk to Phil and he could explain my options, AND there would be no pressure. So I figured I would just listen to Phil. He was very informative. He took me on a test drive of the vehicle I was considering. I told him thank you and left. No pressure!! I thought about it for a week or so and decided I would like to purchase the vehicle. So I contacted Phil and he was happy to help, and again no pressure. Over four days he answered my questions and so I bought a new van. Thank you to Jenny for always taking care of my cars and Phil for not pressuring me. I have always had Jenny care for our cars as she has been honest with us as to what really needed to be done. I feel I can call her with any questions I have even if it is just a squeak in the car.

I have purchased THREE brand new cars from this outstanding Toyota-Scion Dealership. I have had my service work done at this Dealership for several years. Everything is super top quality. I was born in nearby Portland, Oregon, and have lived in this area of Oregon my entire life. I am a graduate of Portland State University - the largest University in the fine State of Oregon. I would highly recommend (and have done so very often already) this Dealership to anyone. Other Toyota-Scion Dealerships have tried to win my business, but I stick with the BEST - Toyota-Scion of Gladstone, Sincerely, and VERY Best Regards J. Jaeger

I bought the car at Gladstone Toyota and have been with Jenny as my service center representative ever since. She has ALWAYS been friendly and the service has always been quick and thorough. I would vote Jenny as employee of the year if I could. There are other Toyota dealers closer to me than Gladstone and I have been to them once. Their customer service is awful so I will continue going the extra distance to have my car serviced at Gladstone Toyota and to have Jenny as my representative.

Started with Kemick and while he was in a class, another salesman took over. That salesman taught me something.....there are good salesmen and there are fantastic salesmen. It all depends on who you deal with as to whether you get the car you wanted. The "sub" salesman said we couldn't get what we wanted. I went home and texted Kemick telling him of my negative experience. When he went into the office the next morning, he made it all right again. I SO APPRECIATE KEMICK!!!

I needed to get my '97 camry in so I called and spoke with Tyson. He was very friendly, timely and professional throughout the entire process. I wanted the car looked over for any glaring issues that could be devastating to my trusty old ride if not taken care of and there was also a strange sound coming from the rear of the car when I went over speed bumps, so I was hoping they could get to the bottom of that. Long story short the car is going strong and needed no major work and the sound was just my spare tire rattling around a bit, because I hadn't secured it properly. They only had my car for a few hours and checked everything I asked and didn't try to tell me my shocks or struts were shot when it was just the spare tire. I really appreciate that kind of honesty and integrity and I will be a lifelong customer here if this is the service I always receive. I also plan on purchasing my next toyota here based on this experience, once this one has had enough of the punishment I dish out... who knows when that will be though, 250K and counting!

I never have to worry when Jenny takes care of my car. It comes back fixed! No worries! Plus there is no waiting. It is always ready at the time she says it will be. I recommend Jenny and The Purple Team to all my family/friends with Toyotas. They are great!!

I called Kemick as we were considering visiting our son on the coast and also possibly buying a RAV4 at the time. He was very prompt on his reply with information. And when I needed additional information the reply came quickly. As it turned out our plans changed as to time we would be coming to OR so we wouldn't be buying out there. I would definitely refer him to anyone in the area looking to buy a Toyota.

Let me start by saying I hate going to service centers to have my car worked on. Being a woman I feel pressured to do things to my car that may not need it at the time, but they make it sound so critical. That being said, right from the start Tyson was so helpful and friendly. Great customer service. I would recommend coming to see him at Toyota of Gladstone to any of my friends and family. He got us in and out of there in no time at all, which was great because I was there with my kids. My oldest thought he was great!

I have bought several cars at this dealership and unlike other places I have visited, have not had the high pressure environment here. I have also been coming to this service center for many years, both for scheduled maintenance and repairs. They have always done a great job and have on a number of occasions found a minor issue and fixed it since they were already servicing the vehicle, without adding to the cost.

Tyson Nottingham's Bad xxx Blue Team is so good at customer service you will literally think you are on a hidden camera show like Punked! I have only seen customer service like that at Gladstone Toyota in movies set in the 1950's! The Toyota staff rushes to welcome you and is always smiling and friendly. They tell you what time your vehicle will be ready and if they are even 5 minutes late, THEY DISCOUNT YOUR BILL!!! Tyson also went out of his way to honor a dealer promise that was made in error over a year ago regarding windshield chip repair, and Tyson's team honored it anyway, and made it right! Tyson and the team at Gladstone Toyota are a breath of fresh air in a world where customers are so often treated with contempt. I am amazed by the service every time I go to Gladstone Toyota.

Working with Aaron was very easy and he was very professional. We were never pressured and he answered all of our questions.When picking up the vehicle Aaron went over everything on the vehicle and told us if we had any more questions or concerns to please contact him. The vehicle was clean and ready to go.

We purchased our new Tacoma as a Costco purchase. We set up an appt with Gladstone and ended up working with Aaron. The process was pretty easy... we told Aaron what we were interested in, he let us test drive a couple of similar vehicles, then he went to work finding us our truck. It took a few days, but we got just what we wanted. Aaron did a great job of keeping us informed on the status and working all of the final details for us. We would highly recommend Aaron and Gladstone.

I was looking on line looking at a used camry from Gladstone Toyota, late one night so I put in my info. in and early the next morning I got a call from thgis really nice guy named Kemick Larson asking me some things about my trade in and that I should come on down to check out the camry, but needless to say my credit wasnt is great as i thought it was.Kemick, told me not to worry that he would work on it just give him a few days and as promised I was driving off in a bran new car .I would like to add that I have bought a ton of new and used cars over the years and never gotten treated as good as Kemick Larson treated me. As for a car salesmen I would have to give him a 100 percent he really nailed it ...I am from now on Buying my cars from Gladstone Toyota. Dan Jenkins

This was by far the best experience I have had in purchasing a car. We communicated with Kemick by email. He quoted a price for a new car and our trade in. When we came to pick up the car, that did not change. Kemick showed us a great deal of patience when we asked to see another car after he had prepared the paperwork for the first car. We decided on the second car that we were sure would meet our needs in a better fashion. Nothing changed with our trade-in value. In fact, it increased! We have been more than satisfied with our new Prius and highly recommend Gladstone Toyota. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and honest. We dealt with other dealers in our search for a new car and I find that the honesty factor goes a very long way.

Aaron Waxenfelter was my sales person and one of the many things I liked about him was that he was not pushy. He knew what I wanted but also understood that the money for a car payment was a huge issue. He gave me so many ways to make it work. It was a wonderful way to buy a car. Although, the process of buying a car is long & tedious working with Aaron made it much easier. He answered every question with obvious knowledge and never made me think that some of my questions were obvious or silly. (I am sure some were). I would not hesitate to send any of my family to Aaron to purchase a vehicle.

Kemick Larsen was a great salesman who gave me a lot of information on the Toyota Prius-C we finally ended up purchasing. He is friendly and went out of his way to let us know many of the great add-ons available for Toyota buyers. He would have been the salesman we made the purchase from, except the day we bought was his day off and we didn't have time to wait. The dealership was clean and well run. We will consider purchasing another vehicle here.

Robert Baker helped me get into a brand new prius hybrid C 2013 with the least amount of financial headaches that we all go through when buying or leasing a car. He is a very good salesman and deserves high praises for how he treats his customers and especially how he treated me. Robert is a very caring and respectful man and I appreciate his customer service skills. Thank you Robert!!!Rich the "big kahuna" manager also deserves high praises for being able to work with me and helping me get into my awesome car. He certainly showed that customer service is what makes this dealership a great one!!! He is awesome to work with and was able to make a deal that will help me down the road.

Robert Baker is the best and the most honest salesperson that I have ever met at this dealership. You do not find many salesperson like him and I am honored and bless to have such a true gentleman and an awesome and amazing young man with integrity and compassion for his customers to be my salesman. He definitely deserves to get a raise and awards and rewards for a job well done. Kudos to you Robert!!!Rich the "big cheese manager in whom I am totally in debt to" also gets Kudos for helping me and making my life better and I am truly bless and honored to work with him. Again, he and Robert is the reason I will continue to deal with this fantastic dealership!!! These two gentleman have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me get the best. The two men have provided one of the best customer service that I am lucky to have ever received!!! They are both my true guardian angels!!! Thank you both and thank you Toyota...

We went to trade our car in. We spent 5 hours waiting for them to get something together for the car we liked. We were told it would happen within our budget. Furthermore, they had us to to the location we purchased the car we were using for a trade-in and cancel the extended warranty which we did. Finally he told us to go ahead home and he would contact us before the end of the day, Not only did he not contact me, but when I called the first time I held for 5 minutes to be told he is with a customer. Then I called back a couple more times, finally I was transfered to the manager, who told me we would need a deposit of $5000.00 which had never been mentioned in the conversations I had with anyone there. I had said I could probably come up with $500.00. So now, not only do I not have the car, I also do not have the extended warranty on car I was going to use for a trade in, but I also feel sick to my stomach when I see the Toyota logo ~ knowing the the people the hire and pay are a group of people who do not have any idea how do be honest of counduct business like they care about the consumer.

It seems like this dealership has slipped recently. I bought a Toyota here two years ago and had a pretty good experience, but when I went back yesterday to look at a new vehicle, it was truly a farce. Like something out of a car dealership parody. The salesperson was very friendly but did not know the inventory and could not answer some of my questions about vehicle options/specs. I felt like I was guiding HIM to the car I needed. Even so, we did find a Highlander on the lot that would have met my needs. However. . . .money offered for my trade-in vehicles was ridiculously low. Then there was a smoke and mirrors routine from a manager about the dealership's cost for the new vehicle. This was couched in "We're totally transparent" statements and was accompanied by lots of pieces of paper showing the dealer's invoice etc. Curiously, dealer hold-back figures were not mentioned. Guess he thought I was stupid? Finally, the old "What would we need to do for your to buy this vehicle now?" routine, this coming from yet another manager. Answer: give me a reasonable amount of money for the trade-in vehicles, and drop the price on the new car to something reasonable. (It's not complicated.) I left, and went to a "no-bull" dealership later that day, where a salesperson quickly located two vehicles with only the options I wanted. Price for the vehicle was fair, price for trade-ins also pretty fair. Dealt with one person for the whole process. Got through the whole process in 3 hours (which included a test drive and waiting for my husband to get to the dealership, which added 1/2 hour). Happy with my purchase from another dealership. I would be hesitant to recommend Gladstone Toyota, and would not likely return there.

I was referred to Gladstone by one of my coworkers, after reaching out to Dave Elder for a few Rav 4 for my mother he found the exact car we had been looking for and offered a very good price on the car. He referred me to Jeff Sr to take care of the deal and show my mom how to use the car. Jeff was very polite and took care of my mother and I felt comfortable with how it all went down. My mother called me after it was done and couldn't have been happier and couldn't say enough good things about how she was taken care of. Thank you Jeff and Dave.

I came in to buy a new Tacoma and was greeted by Aaron he was very easy to work with. No pressure to buy he took me around and found me the Truck I was looking for. I told him I was on a budget and what I could afford to pay and he said he would work hard to get me into that Truck. So we ran the numbers and he actually came in under what I was expecting to pay. So I was very pleased with my new Tacoma and would highly recommend talking to Aaron if your in the market for a new vehcile. I have been to just about every dealership in the local area and these guys are by far the easiest dealer to do business with and I will be back again. Thanks again Aaron.

My family has purchased 7 cars from these guys and everytime is easy and fast. They explained everything at a nice slow pace and offered a secondary delivery if I have any future questions!!! Thanks to all of the great folks at Toyota of Gladstone.

Wow. I have gotten haircuts that took longer than buying a new truck at Gladstone Toyota. I wanted a four-wheel drive to replace my old 2WD Tacoma. Sou Chou showed me a couple of good used trucks (Toyota Certified, which is a major advantage and a comfort). I chose a manual shift, which can be hard to find, and he got my old truck appraised in a flash. I financed the new truck at a very favorable rate, and drove it home two hours later. I couldn't be more pleased . Sou got me some coffee, and by the time we had discussed the economy, he was handing me keys. Seth and David Ruppert came over and were very cordial, while Dave Elder did the appraisal. It was all one big family gathering. I would admit that I did not do much shopping around beforehand, because I don't enjoy being "sold" at every dealership in town. I looked at one used car lot, and was quoted a very attractive price...attractive until I researched the Internet and found the history of 42 incidents. Gladstone showed me the CarFax on my choice, and it was all scheduled maintenance. They also showed me their buy-in cost, their costs to bring it up to Toyota Certified, and their profit margin. The profit was so slim as to be nothing to negotiate over. I had always been told that there was 20% of the price to negotiate, but this was more like 4%. When a vehicle is Toyota Certified, it's as good as new and is warranteed for as long as I will probably be driving. Others say Gladstone's service is just as good as their sales, and I believe it.I would certainly send my friends to Toyota of Gladstone, without hesitation or reservations about it.John S.

I had not shopped for a car in almost 17 years, I know now why. I found the car on line at this website(cars.com) Called the dealership to see if it was still available, as it was a 40 minute drive from where I live. My disabled husband and I drove two vehicles the 40 minutes (one we were intending to trade in, the other my husbands speciality vehicle) The car was parked out front waiting for me. I did like the vehicle and we made an offer- asking price was $1800 over the suggested retail value accourding to Kelly Blue Book. The salesperson immediately went to the "back" to present our offer to the "powers that be". 20 minutes later,it was rejected and an intermediate employee came out to explain why they had rejected it. So we decided this was just not ment to be, so we left. I got a phone call from the "decision maker" telling me we had left too soon and did not give him the opportunity to counteroffer he then made me the counter offer of the bottom line that they could take for the vehicle. Once my husband and I were home we discussed it further and my husband call back and accepted the counter offer. He requested the vehicle be vaccummed and filled with gas. He choose not to make the 40 minute drive again,So I went alone. No vaccumm, an empty gas tank,and the one key I received cost $85 to duplicate. Maybe this is just the way car shopping is suppose to be,, I think the next time I need to purchase a car I will have one of my son's do it for me.....

Seth is friendly, knowledgeable, and truthful. He treated me with respect and kindness. His customer service is excellent.I would recommend him to my family and friends without hesitation. Everyone at the dealership was friendly and personable. They all seem to enjoy their jobs and are proud of their products and service. I had a really great experience, and I love my Scion iQ!!!!!!

Had some BAD experiences with a KIA dealership in Portland that I had previously thought highly of. Followed my wife's recommendation and drove to Toyota of Gladstone. I was a little wary at first (we wasted 3+ hours at the other dealership), but we spoke with Mr. Elder and he got us together with Sean Overton. We already knew what we wanted and narrowed our selection to two cars, and went with a Prius. I can't help but say that we are 100% satisfied with our purchase! What a great team!

Both of us were very happy with our overall experience. We were politely greeted.by a smiling, young man, Rodell Razor. We were shopping for a 2008 Toyota 4 runner to replace our 2004. Rodell told us there was not one on the lot at this time, however, he showed us a 2008 Armada Nisson as we started walking through the car lot. By then, Joe Cruz had greeted us also. As we all chatted we mentioned we were celebrating our 49th anniversary on Friday the 13th. Needles to say, after driving the Armada we fell in love with it. Rodell never left our side, and Joe was right there to assist and guide us through all the paperwork and transactions. With all the talking, we learned that Rodell knew our oldest granddaughter through collage. Very small world. After negotitions we then met with Jamshid Nejad for the signing of papers. All 3.men were respectful and charming and we really enjoyed visiting with them. At one point we asked if we could talk alone and it was so funny, they jumped up like jack in the box...;-) We will be taking "Porcupines" to Rodell very soon. We hope Rodell obtains all his wishes and goals... Ask for Rodell Razor ar Gladstone Toyota!

It was not the salesperson's fault that my husband and I did not check out the used car. That's on us definitely. That said, the dealership lied to us about several things and overcharged us based on those lies. Like I said, we should have done our due diligence...we didn't and we got so burned.

This dealership made buying a certified used car unnecessarily painful with all the usual tricks. We were in a well-choreographed haggling play down to the last $100.00. The main character, Andrea, was very nice but here colleagues "the negotiators" flat out lied, kept trying to change what was included in the price and kept bringing back high quotes from "the guy behind the desk" character. To be fair our finance person, Jamshid Nejad, was the most civilized character we encountered in the process. Had we just dealt with him, we may have walked away feeling a bit better about this. We love our car but I dread ever having to do business here again. Sorry Gladstone Toyota... That was a WAY below the mark on customer service. I have had more fun haggling in Egyptian souks with a language barrier.

Good Morning Jay, We got you follow-up phone call last Friday. I have been to the dealership 3 times since we purchased the car and planned to stop by and say hello but you were either not there or busy. Yes we are enjoying the new Corolla a lot or should I say Becky is enjoying it a lot as she is driving it all the time. She deserves the new one since she drove the older corolla for 4 years. Becky likes the sun roof and I like the GPS. We talked about getting the GPS for the Tundra; but, parts said it would cost $2K so that idea is out. Peggy just finished setting up the schedule for service for the next year, I picked up the belt extensions and also purchased wheel locks. I would like to thank you again for making our new car buying so easy and enjoyable and the best experience we have experienced buying a car. Have a great day. Terry Widener

My husband and I decided to look for a hybrid and were introduced to Patrick Christina. He was knowledgeable, professional, easy to talk to and LISTENED! He never pushed his agenda or spoke in a negative manner towards other dealerships.I would be confident in sending my family or friends to Patrick when they are in the market for a car.I wondered about the five rating on friendliness, Patrick is low key and authentic, rather than overtly friendly. Taking the time to write a review is not something I usually do, so if you're reading...give him a shot.

My initial contact of Seth Dustin was by phone. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, seemed to genuinely care about my needs. Face-to-face contact was again very positive. In fact all the staff that I came in contact with were very polite, respectful and relaxed, which served to make me feel more relaxed. Seth was very thorough in explaining the workings of the Venza and assured me I could contact him at any time if I had additional questions. The whole buying procedure was quite pleasant.

I purchased a Lemon here in July 2011 after several problems & attempts to fix. they replaced the truck with a comparable truck that fits all my needs & is safe & reliable.I know one will get by every now & then & any dealership that will put the customer first & will proceed to have that customer drive out of there dealership happy & bragging that they sale the best lemonade is in my book, a place I will recommend to all my friends and anyone that ask.We all for the most part know anyone whom bought from a dealership will tell ya, they are for the most part rude after the sale.Not This dealership they provide CUSTOMER SERVICE & that people is hard to find.if nothing else check them out before you buy...Daniel Tara was my original sales man & I recommend you look him up.

We initially contacted Gladstone Toyota to get a internet price on a Camry Hybrid. Patrick called us within one hour and he gave us a quote on a car. By the time we were ready to go in, we had seen an ad at another dealer advertising a lower sale price. We again contacted Patrick and he told us to come in and that his manager said he could match the price. When we arrived Patrick met us at the door and showed us a selection of available cars. After giving us a very detailed orientation of the car we took it for a test drive. We then went into the showroom and filled out the offer sheet with the exact price we had discussed on the phone. The offer was accepted with no problem. This was one of our easiest car purchases ever. Patrick made the whole purchase experience very enjoyable. This is our second new car purchase from Gladstone Toyota and we would highly recommend this dealership to anyone wanting great customer service and prices. Make sure you ask for Patrick

This has to have been the most pleasant car buying experience ever! Found my car on Cars.com and called Seth to check on availability. He had it moved from a more distant lot to right in front of the main showroom so that I could see it that evening under the lights. My husband and I took care of paperwork the next evening - it couldn't have been more pleasant and efficient. No haggling, just honest conversation! Everyone there was pleasant and helpful. We'll definitely recommend Seth and Gladstone Toyota to everyone!

We purchased a new 2012 Toyota Sienna Limited in January. We researched this vehicle online and found the exact vehicle we wanted only at Toyota of Gladstone. As a long time Toyota owner we were a little concerned since we had always purchased our Toyotas from our local dealer. Our concerns were unfounded. We requested a quote online and within a very short time received a call back from Pat Buono. We had a very pleasant conversation, received a preliminary quote and arranged to meet at the dealership at a date and time that was convenient for us. When we arrived, the specific vehicle we wanted was waiting at the front door of the showroom. Pat greeted us and went over the vehicle features. After returning from the test drive we returned to the showroom where we met Sean Overton (manager) as well as other staff members. Everyone was very courteous and helpful. Once our trade-in was evaluated we conducted a no pressure, relaxed negotiation. We received a price quote exactly as was discussed on the phone and also a fair trade-in amount. We accepted the offer. The paperwork process was also a breeze. Very friendly and no pressure. When we left the F&I office our new vehicle had been prepped was sitting on the showroom floor waiting. What a nice touch. Pat then went over many of the feature again in quite some detail. We left the dealership as very happy owners of a beautiful new Sienna! What a wonderful experience this was for us. We would highly recommend this dealer and the Silver Team staff we worked with. Especially Pat Buono our sales person. We now look forward to working with the service department for all of our future service needs.

I recently purchased a 2012 Highlander from Sean Overton with his assoicate Khan. He did such a great job. I was going to go to my local toyota dealer but i decided to give them a try after Sean talked with me through phone. He worked very transparent and detailed to let me know exactly the numbers on the Highlander. Also he worked very hard to get me a good trade in value for my old car. So i went down there. Sean was honest and very friendly to handle our case postively. He got me a good deal with excellent after sale service promise. It truely is an excellent expirience to buy a car from you Sean. Thank you so much!

Really enjoyed my experience with Ryan, and ended up getting an excellent price and most importantly, a salesperson with utmost integrity. When the scumbags at Royal Moore wouldn't release a car for trade with whom I'd agreed on a sale with Ryan, he even told me I could just buy the car from the Royal Moore vermin. I appreciate the sport of negotiating. But more importantly, I need to be doing so with someone of great integrity. That was Ryan; he went out of his way to get me a car that I wanted (again, made necessary by unethical folks at Royal Moore), and did not try to play games. At Gladstone, they try to sell you things and try to get the best deal they can for themselves, but were very un-pushy. If I said I wasn't really interested, they gave me my space. I've got a great car, and I really appreciated my experience at Gladstone. Even though it's 10 minutes out of my way, I'm considering doing my service there now.

Before going to the dealership, my husband did a lot of research on the ratings and reliability of many different makes/models of vehicles. We are replacing our old Ford F150 4x4 and are very active in outdoor type activities, so needed something durable and reliable. The two vehicles we felt would best fit our needs would either be the Tacoma or Highlander. Jeremy was the first to greet us after we started scouting out the cars on the dealership lot on our own. When he was called away to take an important phone call, he promptly introduced us to Ron. Ron was awesome and took his time answering our questions and showing us the features on the vehicles.We returned to the dealership a couple days later and test drove both the Tacoma and Highlander with Jeremy. Jeremy was very patient and thorough in answering all our questions. We decided the Highlander would best fit our needs. Because we wanted specific options added (or not added) to the vehicle, Jeremy located the perfect vehicle for us at another dealership. Of course we had to haggle over the cost, so Sean, an assistant sales manager, joined the equation. Sean was accommodating and very polite. After some deliberation and discussion a price was reached that everyone was happy with. We secured our vehicle and picked it up a couple days later. Overall we had an excellent experience dealing with Gladstone Toyota and would recommend it to our friends and family.

Our salesman, Kevin Little, was very personable, straight-forward and responsive to our questions during the whole sales process and after we bought the car. My wife is very happy with the car and the prompt answers to her telephone calls concerning the many new features the IQ presents.

When I buy another car, I will definitely be purchasing from this dealership, and definitely will be asking for Jay Tuffli again.

I want to commend Rodell on his professionalism and service. I have bought many new cars in my life and have always...always...dreaded the negotiation process. Rodell and his manager Joe were pleasant and curteous throughout. Additionally, one of the things I hate most when buying a car is the high pressure sales pitch for 'under-coating', 'extended warrenty', etc. While on our test drive, I informed Rodell that I was interested in a car but would not be interested and did not want to hear the pitch for the extras. This is the first time...the FIRST TIME... that a salesman and his/her manager honored that request. THANK YOU GENTLEMEN. To whomever reads this, rest assured that I have never written one of these pieces, even though I am always asked to. This is the first time that buying a car was a relatively pleasant experience. One more thing, the guy who did my paperwork was definetly the fastest at filling out the forms. I think my last purchase (Honda) took an hour. This guy took about 10 minutes. Again, give Rondell kudos for a job well done. Sincerely, Bradley M. Clark

This was a fantastic experience at Gladstone Toyota working with Pat Buono. Definitely one of the best sales person I have ever had the pleasure to do business with! Very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. Truly cared about me as a customer. I will definitely be referring this dealership to anyone in the market. Thank You!

Patrick Buono was very friendly and business professional as well. What I liked the most, as a business person that I am, was: To walk in and walk out knowing that I received the best of product for my money, the best of service for my time and the best of relationships for future business. Patrick Buono is now my relationship business person at Gladstone Toyota. Connie Ma in the finance department, down to business, professional and at the same time so friendly. Without a doubt I will recommend Patrick and Connie as the key contacts at Gladstone Toyota. Thank you for all your help and the joy of my new vehicle, Sienna was my need and Patrick Buono was able to understand my message from the beginning . Thanks again Patrick and be ready for many future business with me.Leticia

I am so pleased with working with Gladstone Toyota and specifically Seth and Rodell. Seth contacted me immediately when I entered information online. He was professional and I felt I could trust him immediately. For about 6 weeks we talked via email. He was supportive and helpful. Even the General Manager, called me to see if Seth had helped me and he too was professional and not assertive or pushy. When I arrived at the dealership: I was greeted at the door and Seth was paged and talked to me within 3 minutes. Rodell became my sales person since Seth was delivering a car. What an amazing young person:Respectful, charming, knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Rodell showed me the cars and then helped me through each phase of purchase. I looked at purchase/lease, knew what I wanted to pay and how much I wanted for my trade in. They did it!! I drove out with a brand new beautiful silver Toyota Prius!! I even get 2 years free maintenance!!I will recommend Gladston Toyota and both Seth and Rodell to everyone. Margaret

I was a woman going alone for the first time to made a big purchase. I planned to pay cash, I had done my homework. I made my intentions clear and my expectations to not be pushed or I would leave. I was not pushed. I was treated with respect. I did not give into additional options and was not arm twisted to do so. The process of a new car purchase is not fun. I left exhausted but happy and felt like I might have made a couple of new friends. I love my new car.

Overall this car buying experience for me was great. Kevin was not pushy at all. My schedule is very busy and he was understanding of that. After test driving the vehicle once, I still wasn't sure so they let me take it out to run errands. I drove around for an hour and was sold. Kevin is very knowledgeable (above average). He answered every question and if he didn't know the answer, he found out in less than 5 minutes. We narrowed down the exact car I wanted and he was able to get it from another dealership in a few hours. A true professional and a pleasure to meet. I wish that every large purchase could be this simple and straight forward. It helps if you go in there knowing what you want and have resonable expectations.Thanks, Kevin!Also, Connie the finance person at Gladstone was awesome. She got me a very good rate (better than expected and better than my bank by 1.25 percent!) and she was fun and friendly.

WENT ON LINE THRU COSTCO- SETH CALLED WITHIN 30 MINUTES - TOLD HIM I WAS READY TO BUY AND ALSO SAID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR (2011 TOYOTA SEQUOIA SR5 BLACK WITH LEATHER INTERIOR)AND HE SAID IT WOULD TAKE A DAY OR TWO TO GET IT FROM ANOTHER DEALER - I CALLED HIM BACK AND SAID WE WOULD TAKE IT AND IT WAS AT DEALERSHIP ON THIS PAST MONDAY - WE COMPLETED THE PAPER WORK (WITH PAT) AND THE VEHICLE IS IN OUR GARAGE AS WE SPEAK.BEST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH A CAR DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE OWNED THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND BOUGHT IT FROM ANOTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP (WHICH I SHALL NOT NAME) AND WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO THEM AGAIN - WHICH IS WHY I CONTACTED COSTCO INSTEAD OF GOING INTO A DEALERSHIP THAT I DID NOT KNOW BASED ON MY PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH TOYOTA. PAT TOOK OVER FOR SETH WHO WAS LEAVING FOR VACATION. HE HAD BEEN GIVEN ALL OF THE INFO AND WAS SO EASY TO DEAL WITH AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I WOULD TELL MY FRIENDS ABOUT GLADSTONE TOYOTA AND GIVE THEM MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.THANK YOU, CHERYL AND TIM BOYCE

Seth was very straight forward in his answers, very helpful and very easy to work with as we picked our newer 2011 used Toyota Camry. We are very happy with the deal we ended up with and felt completely comfortable at this dealership. Didn't feel the high pressure that you would normally feel at other dealers. Really appreciate the personal attention Seth gave us and all the help in finding our car. Thank you

From the entrance into the dealership, we were met with an engaging salesman. It was almost closing time and we were just looking around with the expectation that we would find a vehicle over the next few days. We had done some homework and were interested in the Scion. Benjamin was extremely knowledgable about the product and all the financing options. He stayed with us until after 10:30pm when we drove away with our new Scion. We never felt pressured. It was a great experience and I would recommend this dealership and specifically Benjamin to my family and friends. Thank you Benjamin!

Robert Baker is a great asset to this company. He is an excellent example of what an honest and hardworking car salesperson should be. My husband and I felt very comfortable and satisfied working with him. I would recommend Robert Baker to anyone who need someone as patient and kind as he was when it comes to buying a vehicle.Connie in the Finance Dept is a fiesty,go getter and awesome financial officer and is the only reason my husband and I were able to receive our new vehicle. She never gives up and she damn well deserves every penny she makes. She is definitely a great asset to this company. I love her straight to the point and hardworking attitude. I felt that she really cares about what she does and for us.Sean from Louisana is just a great asset and addition to this toyota family. He has always being a positive and cheerful young man and I will always recommend him big time to anyone. They have great and wonderful people working at this dealership and would recommend seeking out these great and fine folks Robert, Connie and Sean.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Rodell on the purchase of our new 2011 Toyota Prius. I am a returning customer to Toyota of Gateway and will continue to return because of their great customer service! I didn't plan on trading my car in, but Rodell was very persuasive (in a good way!). I highly recommend him.

I had a great experience at this dealership, after having a horrific one at Thomas Auto Sales in Hillsboro two days prior. I found the Truck I wanted from the web and worked ou the numbers with Pat, an awesome Sales rep, who put the deal together that I needed to make the drive from Eugene to Portland (2hrs). Upon arrival, they inspected my trade, gave me a fair price on the truck and we put together the deal. This was the absolute opposite of my experience two days prior where we worked it out over the phone, I got onsite and they tried to lowball me on my trade by $5,000. But this isn't a negative review about Thomas Auto Sales, it's a positive one about Gladstone Toyota. Josh the Sales Manager was very friendly and helped Pat work out the details of the deal. He didn't hide behind a door/office, he was in plain sight and gladly spoke to me when I engaged. This was an excellent buying experience and that's hard to find this day in an auto dealership, so Kudos to Gladstone Toyota. I'm also in Sales so I'm pretty hard to please and these guys went above and beyond what was necessary to complete the sale. Go see them, ask for Pat in Sales, he's fantastic.

First, I did some research and went to several dealers before buying at Gladstone. I first test drove the truck I bought at Broadway Toyota and liked it but when the salesman's manager came out with the pressure on and even insulted me I walked out. He tried to tell me that Gladstone would pull me in with a cheap price on the internet, jack it up later and then sell me something I didn't want. Like his sales tactic, he was dead wrong. I got an online quote from Seth that was $4800 less than MSRP ($400 better than any other dealer). Keep in mind this is with available rebates (one I declined to get 0% financing). I came down to test drive it and Seth introduced me to Dan in sales that took care of me. He was knowlegable, didn't push or pressure and listened to what I said. Good job. Then out comes the dreaded manager. Zack is a laid back guy that legitamitely seems to love the trucks he sells (take a look at the truck he drives). He put no more pressure than Dan did. After about 2 hours of test driving two trucks back to back over and over I finally made up my mind (Two hours after they closed). The one I decided on was not on the lot in the color I wanted so Zack ordered it for me. It took 4 days to get it but for my only complaint, I'm happy. Still got me a good deal well under MSRP, took my damaged trade in, and threw in a couple extra options I didn't expect. They also showroom deliver every vehicle so they can't hide anything. Keep in mind that you can negotiate warranty and protection options...

Went into the dealership with a good idea of what I was looking for. After all it is a big purchase so I tried to do my homework. The sales person who was selling those cars new far less than I did about his own car and even less about any of its competition. Finally asked to talk with some one else who could answer the questions that I had. Got someone much more knowledgeable. To take the car for a test ride the guy needed to take my drivers license inside. I said that I had no problem with that - just do not put any of the information into any kind of data base. I do not like getting my information all over the place even more than it already is and also hate the continual junk mail that those kind of places send out all of the time. He assured me that would not happen - he lied - I have already received a letter from them and am sure that the mail will continue. My question, which was not to difficult for me to answer was if a dealership hires staff with no knowledge, does not train them adequately and does not follow through with even the smallest assurances can you trust them - my answer is no. Wilsonville and Beaverton are much better choices.

I was in the market for a second hand 2006 Scion and did plenty of research/price comparisons online. I found what I was interested in at this dealership and called them, and spoke to Trey Kitterath. Trey was extremely friendly and helpful. I gave him the price I was willing to pay and the terms that I wanted for financing. The next day when I arrived at the dealership to look at the car and take it for a test drive, Trey did not disappoint. He was personable and knowledgable. If he couldn't answer a question, he didn't b.s. me and got the info for me.It was an overall excellent experience. I got the price I wanted for the terms I wanted. Everyone at the dealership was professional and friendly, and there was no pressure or `slick' behavior whatsoever. I am thrilled with my car and happy with my experience at Toyota of Gladstone, and when it's time for another auto, I'm going back to Toyota of Gladstone. I highly recommend Trey Kitterath, he's an outstanding salesperson!

We had a wonderful experience working with Rodell and the other couple of guys here. We walked away with a great car that we'll have for a very long time. When we didn't think the price was possible, you made it work. We felt so comofortable with Rodell because he was so friendly and always had a smile on his face. He made us feel comfortable and he came off as more than just a salesman, he came off as a friend. Anybody would be lucky to work with him. He really is good at what he does, he not only sells cars but he creates relationships wig his customers that they'll always remember. We had a great time working with him and everyone else. Thankyou so much

I went to Gladstone Toyota on Sunday to look at a 2011 Toyota Highlander SE. They didnt have the equipped Highlander that I wanted to purchase on Sunday but I was able to drive the limited and found I liked the way it handeled but I didnt care for the wood grain. I spoke to Rodell and told him what I was looking for in the Highlander SE White with black leather on Sunday evening after our test drive. He called me to say he had found one and would be willing to get it to his dealership for me to see. I told him that would be great and within 24 hours he had the Highlander on his lot.I came back on Tuesday evening to test drive the Highlander SE that I was interested in knowing the price I wanted to pay for it as well as what I wanted for my trade in and I knew what financing I wanted for my new purchase.I felt a connection with Rodell from the moment I met him at the dealership feeling like he cared about me as a person and wanted to find me the Highlander that would work best for our family. I learned it was his first day on the sales floor at Gladstone Toyota and I must say with his professionalism I knew I wouldnt be buying a Highlander from any other salesman in the Northwest. Rodell had support from Joe Cruz who was also a 10+ salesman which in the past my salesman for new car purchases usually rate a 4 as I dont like dealing with salesman when purchasing new vehicles but you dont really have a option when you are buying it from a dealership. Joe was great supporting Rodell with his first new car sale.I was prepared on what I wanted to pay for the Highlander as well as what I would take for my trade in and the accessories I wanted to have wrapped up in the new car purchase. I must say I am a Happy Owner of a 2011 Toyota Highlander SE from Gladstone Toyota Thank You to Rodell Razor and Joe Cruz. My kids were excited to cut Rodell's tie for his first new car sale as well as riding in our new Highlander off the show room floor. Great Experience and you have a very satisfied customer who will recommend Rodell and Joe to others in the community when making a Toyota purchase... If it wasnt for these two salesman I probably wouldnt be driving a Highlander today from Gladstone Toyota... Thank You

I moved back to the area (Silverton) 2 years ago, and I have come to Gladstonne Toyota for regular oil changes and some additional repair/maintenance. Tyson Nottingham and Josh Terhaar, Blue and Red Service Team Leads, have been AMAZING in their customer service, friendliness, and charging reasonably for diagnosis and repairs done. I appreciate all they have done and could not imagine taking my Camry to anyone else. Their approach and service makes driving the distance for that treatment TOTALLY worth it. THANKS GUYS, YOU'RE THE BEST ! !

Seth Dustin was a real Gentleman who treated me, a Senior Citizen, with respect and consideration. Some women would not think of entering a car dealership without a man.I resent this perception and my experience with Gladstone proved that everyone is treated equally. Am soooo pleased with my red Prius!!!! Doing the homework with Consumer Reports was very reassuring.Thank you to all at Gladstone for your professional work! Especially grateful to Seth for a really pleasant and satisfying experience. Best to you all,Julie

Beware of the sales people and financial assistants. I went into the dealership wanting to buy a vehicle and I discovered later on that they tricked me into leasing a vehicle. I contacted the dealership to resovle the issue. The dealership informed me that it was my own ignorance to blame and there was nothing they could do. I believe this dealership deceived me and took advantage of me. I will never again bring my business to this dealership or buy a Toyota.

After two months of looking at other dealers and private party sales, I stopped in Gladstone Toyota to test drive a 2010 Toyota Tundra that was offered used with the Toyota Certified Warranty. I met Rob B. that afternoon and we test drove the truck. He was the most knowledgeable Tundra salesperson I'd met so far, and told me he had attended the "Model Release" event in Texas when the new body style was released in 2007. He had also owned a Tundra so with his knowledge and my research we pretty much were on the same page. I already knew I wanted to buy a Tundra from my research. After the test drive we worked a few scenarios regarding price, things went well, but I was not sure this truck was the one for me. I went home and thought about it and visited 2 other Toyota dealerships for pricing etc. I then thought I would go with NEW truck - the first new vehicle I have ever purchased. I found 2 identical tundras on Gladstone Toyota's website and decided to go check them out. I headed back to Gladstone Toyota. The Floor Manager Joe C. remembered me and basically said, pick any truck on the lot, and its a deal. The numbers he showed me were much better than any other dealer and were in line with the "internet only" pricing that I had seen on some 'out of area dealers' During this visit I noticed that they had a TRD Rock Warrior edition truck on their lot, so I got pricing for this truck from Joe and Rob at that time too. I like to think about things so I headed home and ran some numbers. Friday I woke up and decided that I was going to buy the Rock Warrior Tundra. I showed up with a cashiers check and a pre-approved loan for the balance and went to test drive the Rock Warrior Tundra. Four miles later were were back at the showroom. Yes I sort of fell in love after the test drive. When we were working out the deal, everything went smooth. The pricing was printed out for me for me to review, not scribbled on a sheet of paper like other dealers. There were no surprises. The truck headed to the detail shop to get wiped down and it was then moved into the showroom. We headed back to Finance Dept next and went over the warranty and paperwork, and I presented my check and financing. Back at the showroom we went over the features and Rob programed my truck to my phone. I took some pictures and then drove home. Great experience.

In my opinion, my wife and I were first lied to by Finance manager Connie. In my opinion, Connie manipulated us into signing a contract by lying. After finding out that Gladstone prices were much higher than Wilsonville Toyota, I went back to Gladstone Toyota and told them that I did not want to go through with the sale. I never drove the Rav4 off the lot nor was the Rav4 even put into my name yet. When I went back, I spoke to a manager about stopping the sale. Manager Jo, told me that the car was already in my name and it was mine and I could do nothing about it. He then went on to explain that I could sale the car back to him for a lower price. I told him that I would be back with my lawyer. I also had given a check when I first signed the papers for $5,000 down, which had already been deposited.So I came back to Gladstone Toyota on 6/30/2011 to talk to another manager. His name was Rich. I brought my adviser with me to talk to Rich. Rich's first line was, this car is yours and your name is on the contract. I asked if he could show good customer service and get me out of my contract and give me back my $5000 dollar down payment. Rich's response was, there is no stopping the contract now, it's gone too far, your name is already on the DMV papers. I explained to Rich that I had done some research of my own and called DMV. Not only was my name NOT on the DMV papers but I also put a stop on the paperwork going through. (I should add that Rich's only excuse for not breaking the contract was, since the car was in my name, it lost its value like I drove it off the lot.) After a long exhausting hour and a half of fighting to get back my down payment, I asked Rich what it would take to make him happy and get me out of my contract. He told me that he felt sorry for the employees not making the commission on the car along with a sunroof that was installed. He would break the contract if they could keep $2500 of my down payment. He made me so angry at his comment; I got up to leave and told him we would be back with the media on this one. As I was leaving, I told him maybe if he was reasonable and said a $1000 I might think about it. Rich stopped me and said I can see if I can do that. After another five minutes, he came back and said it was a deal.The moral of the story is, I got nothing from Gladstone Toyota and lost a $1000 dollars of me and my wifes hard earned money. I should also add, it takes me four months to save a $1000 dollars but in my opinion I guess Gladstone Toyota must need it more than I do. IN MY OPINION, DO NOT SHOP AT GLADSTONE TOYOTA!!!

Love this dealership! Great friendly staff. Everytime I went there I was greeted with open arms and a sense that they didn't just want to make a sale. I felt they wanted to know ms and my needs and to help fi d the best car for me a the best price. I never gelt pressured into buying the vehicle and that is really comforting. I am going to tell all my friends about this dealership!

Jeff was incredibly friendly and walked us through any questions we had. It was a nice experience and did not feel pressured at all during our purchase experience. Financing was a simple process and we got a great rate on our new Scion xB. When it came time to sign the paperwork and setup the payment contracts David was incredibly friendly and answered all our questions and did not rush us when we wanted to read the fine print of our contracts. We could not have had a nicer experience than we got at Toyota of Gladstone.

I came in on Friday May 13 and test drove the Rav $ with Jessie. The car handled great, and Jesse was very informative and helpful. After doing my homework I phoned in my bid to Ryan and this was accepted. I came in this morning and within 2-3 hours I drove my Rav 4 off the lot. This was painless and hassle free. I will definitely reccommend Gladstone Toyota to friends.

On Saturday April 9, 2011 my wife and I went to Toyota of Gladstone. We went to purchase a vehicle and to trade in our current vehicle. We chose a 2011 Toyota Sienna. We were able to make a deal that night and we drove away around Midnight on Sunday April 10, 2011.We received a call on Thursday April 14, 2011 from John Hill stating that he needed us to come back in that night or the next day to sign some papers.John Hill than called me on Friday April 15, 2011 at 12:27 PM. He stated to me on the telephone that he needed my wife and I to come into the dealership to sign some papers that did not get signed when we were there. I asked him specifically what papers needed to be signed. He stated that there needs to be a change in our length of the loan and there was a form we forgot to sign. I asked him specifically what change in terms he was speaking of, he stated he did not know he was just supposed to call us and have us come back in. I advised him that I would discuss this with my wife.My wife called John and asked him what the issue was. He stated that he did not know and that he would have a finance manager contact her.The finance manager called us and he stated that the finance company is wanting to do either one of two things. He wanted to either shorten the time of our loan which would increase our loan payments, or we would have to give a $2000.00 down payment (we had already gave a $500.00 down payment. My wife advised him that we are not agreeable to any of those options as we have already signed the agreement and we had made a deal. The finance manager told her that on the bottom of the contact they wrote "OAC" for the financing. She advised him that we thought we were already approved for the loan since we signed all the papers for it. He said that we would have to agree to one of the above options and if we did not we would be violating the law for not fulfilling our contract. My wife stated that she did not agree with that, he said that we could return the vehichle than and get our van back which was a trade in and they would give us our $500 down payment back.

Jenny Rhodes truely understands what "customer service" is all about. Too many business today think only about the all mighty dollar and have pushed customer service to the back burner. Gladstone Toyota has tried hard to bring customer service back.

Go to this dealership. These people make buying a car downright pleasant. Duy ("Dewey") really listened to what I wanted and found the right car for me. It was easy to reach a fair price. (I had shopped at another dealership before I went to Toyota of Gladstone and was not able to get what I thought was a fair price at the other dealership, so it was refreshing to work with Duy and Sean at Gladstone.) Everyone I encountered at this dealership was courteous. The customer service was so outstanding, all I can say is it surpasses anything I have ever experienced anywhere else. If I ever need another car in the future, I will return to Toyota of Gladstone.

Roger did a fabulous job of making me feel comfortable in my purchase. He and Toyota of Gladstone worked with me to get me the monthly payment that worked best for me. I had the honor to be his first sale and will keep the tie as a reminder. I came in looking for a car for my specific needs and Roger had so much knowledge and helped me find a car that fit my needs. He was also very knowledgeable about the car I bought, showing me all the basics but also all the specifics for that car. He twice explained how everything worked so I would be comfortable. I noticed a problem with the hubcaps and he immediately worked out the problem so they could be replaced at no cost to me. I would definitely return to Roger at Toyota of Gladstone when I look for a car to purchase next time.

I've purchased many new cars (around 10) and generally the experience is about as enjoyable as going to the dentist for a root canal.You suffer through all the "normal" sales tactics, the sales sharks pounce on you and then there is the "fun" of price negotiation followed by the mind numbing boredom and tedium of the finance person.I go into the dealership already knowing about the vehicle(including my best negotiated price at all the other dealerships)and knowing my trade in price.Gladstone Toyota is an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE. My salesman PHIL HABIBI is the greatest! NO PRESSURE, extremly knowledgeable of the products and courteous. I actually sought him out as my salesperson, as I'd bought a vehicle from him 6 years prior...and came in and "kicked some tires" about 3 years ago. I don't know about you.....but when a salesman comes up and greets you and your wife by name after 6 years. You know you are not just another sale.Did I mention Phil Habibi is the Greatest!!When it came time for my trade in....I was able to get the price I wanted rather than feeling insulted and violated as at the other dealerships.When it came to financing time.....I was bracing myself for the tedium,boredom and salespitches that seems to drag on forever. I can say without hesitation that this was the MOST PLEASUREABLE, professional and "painless" time I have ever experienced at any dealership.Jamshid Nejad ...(JAM) gave me the best service I have ever had and was very enjoyable to work with. Both my wife and I were beyond impressed at how painless this was.Ask for JAM....impressive is an understatment.Have you ever had the red carpet treatment? First time at any dealer for me. I expect my vehicle to be washed and have a full tank of gas (this was done without even having to negotiate it). It's the first time I have ever driven a vehicle off the showroom floor...literally on a red carpet.I'd also like to give Gladstone Toyota a HUGE thumbs up for their website. They were the only dealership that actually showed the exterior and interior colors and options....rather than the usual...call for details pitch. Made doing my comparison shopping much easier.If you enjoy the "traditional" suffering and sales tactics.....you could go to the other dealerships in the area. I did (4 of them)....as part of my price research and trade in research. I got the "usual" treatment I expected. Let me save you the suffering. Give Gladstone Toyota a try.Ask for PHIL HABIBI for sales and ask for JAM for finance. I don't impress easily and these two gentlemen WOWED me!

I recently visited gladstone toyota to purchase new/trade my not fuel efficiant gas hog of a ford in! for a tacoma, through the credit approval process i found 19 outstanding collections on my bureau and 2 currently still their that i have to proove they were not mine. i spent a month trying to repair the damage that had been done to my credit, after a month of contacting experian letter after letter call after call i was able to get 17 things removed from my bureau but this wasnt going to change my becon and i knew that, why doesnt toyota make exceptions on financing in these cituations? i was a classic credit fraud victim. the two individuals that worked with me were very helpful and understanding joe/darek but a conversation i had with a possible finance manager? i found was very unprofessioanl i felt like he had more important things to do. other then discusing how unusually difficult my cituation was and he failed to relize why my cituation was that way. other then him i think it could be a reasonable place to buy a vehicle.

I had bought a car here at toyota of gladstone and decided the first time was a good experience so why not return for another one? So I decided to call Duy Dang to help me. The first phone call I made I wasn't so sure if he remembered who I was since it had been more than 2 years since I had bought my first car there. Surprisingly he remembered exactly who I was and what car I had boughten. Their customer service is beyond excellent, but there is no word for me to express how excellent Duy Dang was. He was beyond excellent. The day I called him to see if I would be able to get another car was the day I went up there and bought my car! That was how fast and prompt his work was. Very high quality work. He's super friendly and very prompt on answering any questions I had. My overall experience was beyond great and I dont know if I'd ever go to any other dealerships! I can go on and on about Duy Dang and this dealership but it would be super long! I highly recommend this dealership if anyone is looking for friendliness high quality customer service. I had about a million questions for Duy Dang but he did not seem to be bothered and answered every one of my questions thoroughly and even more! Great dealership and awesome dealers! Im super happy with my 2011 Camry SE!

Paul was great. He was helpful but not pushy. When we arrived and told him what I was looking for he knew exactly where the car was even though it was way back in the corner of the lot. We had gone just to look and by the end of the day I was in a new 2011 Toyota Corolla and I love the car! Great experience and Paul was the first line of it. All employees were pleasant and very helpful. I will definitely recommend to others!

Our Salesman Paul was great. It really showed that he had a lot of experience. Even more important to me than details of cars (because I do my own research) Paul knows how to make the entire transaction go as smoothly as possible. Paul definitely made purchasing my new Scion Xb the best car buying experience I have ever had!!! I will definitely be recommending Paul and his dealership in the future!

I have purchased my last seven vehicles from Toyota of Gladstone. I have always received excellent customer service from the sales staff making it very easy for me to return for future purchases. I was contacted by Toyota Motor Credit regarding my wife's Toyota Camry which was nearing the end of it's lease period. I told them I would be interested in leasing a new 2011 Toyota Camry. A short time later Paul Palmer contacted me from Toyota of Gladstone. Paul was very quick to answer all of my questions and concerns through this process. Paul acted in a professional and friendly manner, assuring all of my needs were met. During the sales process other employees from the store, who I have met in the past from previous purchases, made an effort to say hi and see how things were going with me and family. It was a very positive experience. I selected a 2011 Toyota Camry for my wife and was very excited about our choice. I had to wait for the new Camry to be moved from another dealer location to Toyota of Gladstone for a few days. Needles to say I was very excited to get our new car. Paul took the time to keep me updated through the waiting process. He called me on a frequent basis to update me with the status of my new vehicle and details of when it would be available. I was very impressed with his follow through and service even after the initial sale had been completed. I'm very comfortable recommending Paul Palmer and all of the professionals who worked with me through this process to friends and family who are looking for a new car! Thank you Paul.

I can't believe it! You don't see THIS kind of Customer Service these days. Jenny spends time with me so I can understand keeping up the periodic maintenance on my Prius actually saves me money. I trust her so much that when I want to buy a new Prius I would trust only her to sell me a car. One of the reasons I have recommended Jenny in Service at Toyota of Gladsone several times is because she makes it EASY to fit maintenance for my aging car in my busy schedule. A working Mom needs someone that is on your side,knows your budget and keeps me ahead of schedule. I Love Toyota's concept, "Let us take care of your drive!" If you have people just like Jenny throughout your Service Departments, then believe me people will continue to buy Toyota, I am on my fourth in my lifetime. Lisa Preble, gladstone, OR

Without a doubt, one of the best car purchases we have ever experienced! Everyone at Toyota of Gladstone was so friendly and personable. Dealing with Paul, was like working with family. He is the BEST sales-person we have ever done business with. Our truck was pulled into "the living room" so that we could be shown all the "bells and whistles". When it comes time for us to make another purchase, we will definitely be looking for Paul!

Our experience at Toyota of Gladstone was amazing! Paul is such a "people person". We enjoy chatting with him and if he doesn't know the answer to a question, he will go ask someone. He certainly made buying a car a "fun" experience! Would buy again with Paul!

My wife and I had been looking for a new car for a few months, when we had Toyota of Gladstone recommended to us. We were put in touch with Mr. Duy Dang. We live in Northern California, so all communication was done via email and phone. Duy was always extremely responsive, helpful, professional, and very patient with questions we had about the different vehicles, features, and package options. Duy came up with two very good options for us, and we chose a vehicle and began the purchase.We made preparations for me to fly up and pick up the new car and drive it back home. Duy picked me up at the airport, and took me to the dealership. Upon arrival at the dealership, I saw that my car was waiting on the showroom floor waiting for me and all paperwork was ready for my signature. Everything was completed in less than one hour, which was nothing less than amazing considering how painful the purchase process has been at other dealerships in the past. Duy made sure the vehicle was detailed with a full tank of gas. I was given a detailed walk through of all of the features on the vehicle and in depth service training, handed the keys and drove off the showroom floor.Duy followed up with phone calls and emails to not only make sure that we were happy with the purchase, but to make sure that I had arrived home safely. Customer service that truly goes above and beyond.This dealership which is managed by Mr. David Elder, is clean, fair, friendly, and customer service focused. The pride everyone has in their work and their dedication to their customers is nothing less than excellent. This is something that I have not found at other car dealerships in the past. Purchasing a car from them was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle. We cant say enough good things about Duy and Toyota of Gladstone

Service is very important to us. Are people put alot of miles on the cars and trucks that we have. Peggy and her Green team does a super job for us. Five years or more I brought in two camrys to be serviced, because I was unhappy with another dealership. Then I added two more camrys. The owner of Emerick Const. wantedto know how the service department was doing. I said they are great!!! So, Emerick purchased more camrys and one Highlander for the owner. We now bring ten cars for service. Two of the camrys has over 188,000 miles do to the great service. I started out with Peggy. Now they have different teams (green, blue, etc). Peggy and her Green Team has done a super job for us!!! Everyone goes out of their way to help you (Service Dept,Service Mgr,Parts,Shuttle service,Sales Dept,etc). Gladstone Toyota is a great place to do business with. Yale Hunter (Warehouse Mgr).

I have been looking for a new vehicle for some time. I have visited many Dealerships in my area but nothing to the caliber or professionalism I experienced at Toyota of Gladstone.I was put in touch with a sales person by the name of Mr. Duy Dang. I gave Mr. Dang the type and model of the vehicle I was looking for. Mr. Dang contacted me about 25 minutes later and had three vehicles that matched my search criteria. Mr Dang assisted me over the phone and made preparations for me to drive there and purchase the vehicle. I live in California and had to drive well over 12hours to get to this Dealership. I have never been to a Dealership and purchased a new vehicle without spending the day going back and forth with the sales staff.I arrived at Toyota of Gladstone around 8:30 in the morning and was met by Mr. Dang and the Manager Mr. David Elder. This was even before the Dealership was opened for business. I walked on the showroom floor and my vehicle was sitting on the showroom floor waiting for my purchase. I went in to the finance area and completed ALL of the financing paperwork in less than one hour!! No hassles, no games. When I came back out to the showroom floor, Duy had made sure my vehicle was detailed and filled my gas tank. Duy and the sales team showed me all of the features that were on my newly purchased vehicle. (This took longer than the financing) When I had completed the indepth in-service training, I was given the keys and drove my new vehicle off the showroom floor.Toyota of Gladstone has brought back an American concept of customer service that is not experienced in other Dealerships. I will NEVER go to another car dealership to buy another vehicle. Duy Dang's attention to detail and customer service dedication is far above the norm.The dealership is managed by Mr. David Elder. Mr. Elder has assembled a true winning team at Toyota of Gladstone! The teamwork and pride demonstrated at this Dealership is an absolute pleasurable experience.

I purchased my Honda Element from this dealership, and later I found it had a cracked engine block. My extended warranty did not cover this repair, so the dealership decided to replace the engine with another used one. The engine they replaced it needed a new part, so they ordered it and didn't charge me a dime for any the repairs. They paid for my rental car too. Jenny was helpful from beginning to end. She kept me informed and was so nice to work with. Jenny made my experience excellent from beginning to end. She works with the purple team and I recommend her and the dealership to everyone now. They will took good care of me and will do the same for you!

Peggy has been my service manager for many years. She is very professional, curtious, helpful and is one of my main reasons for getting all three of my toyotas serviced at this dealership. Most of the service I feel is reasonable in price; but, some are absolutely rediculously high. Overall I have had a great experience with this Toyota dealership.

Jeff JR. is an exceptional young man, friendly, courteous and helpful. He has followed up the sale and answered questions knowledgeably. In fac, I find the whole dealership that way. When I call in with a question, I am given the answer promptly without hassle and with courtesy. When I was in for service, I was quickly served and questions answered. When I went out the door to go to lunch, someone opened the door for me. I have already recommended the dealership to someone else, but they decided they did not need to trade vehicles, so nothing came of it, but I would be glad to do it again. When I first called in, I was given over to John Hill, one of the managers. Later when I called back, he was willing to take my call and answer my questions before I even came in, offering to buy a tank full of gas as an incentive to make the drive, since I do not live in Gladstone. Of course later the dealership recouped the cost because I had not used much of it before we were back and made a deal, but even so, it was a nice touch. I was asked to rate the "price". I have nothing to compare it with so I don't actually know if I got a good deal or not, but we are satisfied with it, and that is sufficient reason for the rating. I am surprised to see that other dealerships have the same rating, but I still say the experience was exceptional: thus,all 5's.

I went in looking for a new car thinking that I wasn't going to buy right away. The customer service and friendliness of the staff, especially Chris and Ryan, was so outstanding that I ended up purchasing my car that night. They both went out of their way to make sure I found exactly what I wanted. They were never pushy or made me feel uncomfortable. Being a 26 year old female, I was prepared for battle, but no bloodshed was needed lol. Chris is new to the dealership, but made it clear that if he didn't have an answer for me, he would find it. I worked through Bank of America's car buying program which has a "lowest price guarantee". I was able to purchase my car from the invoiced amount with only the smallest amount of profit for the dealership to cover their costs. No price bargaining which was amazing. They made sure everything with the car was perfect before they even allowed me to drive away and already have me scheduled for a 30 day checkup. All maintenance is included for 2 years at any Toyota dealer as well. I would and already have recommended this dealership. Ask for Ryan or Chris!

Well not only were the staff friendly, but also very knowledgable. The service department went above and beyond in showing me what was needed to be replaced. Not just telling me what needed to be done but actually showing me. You just dont see this kind of service anymore. They also do very detailed inspections to make sure that the vehicle is in great working condition. Fast service, friendly faces, and very knowledgable. What more can I say?

I am consistently impressed with Peggy Maben at the Gladstone Toyota service dept. She is always friendly and helpful. I've never had a problem with scheduling, and the team there is ready for my car upon my arrival. Peggy remembers her customers which keeps us coming back. We've bought Toyotas from other dealerships in town but bring them to Peggy for servicing. She definitely has my trust.Thank you, Peggy!Katie Jones

I have been coming to Toyota of Gladstone for many years both for purchase of a vehicle as well as service. I live in North Portland so it is quite a drive but very worth the effort. This dealership is the best. I have had superior assistance both from sales and service. I have recommended them to several people looking for a new/used vehicle and will continue to do so.

I took my Sienna 2004 for the service today. I really enjoyed even waiting for an hour half at waiting room. They have little refreshment and coffee. The people are very friendly and delightful. The service quality they've done is not the first time and alway no problems at all. They work hard and they are trying to give their customers the high quality, the best service.

I have had another good experience at Toyota of Gladstone. The service is always friendly and they go out of the way to take care of me. They delivery me home and then pick me up when the car is serviced. This is exptremely important for me as many times I do not have any other way to get my car back home. They also help me think through what I specifically need for my car each time I visit. Peggy is great.

ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES HAVE ALWAYS MADE TIME FOR ME EVEN WHEN I JUST HAD A QUESTION OR NEEDED SOMETHING TO BE LOOKED AT. I AM ALWAYS ABLE TO GET IN WITHOUT HAVING TO WAIT A LONG PERIOD OF TIME LIKE I HAVE HAD WITH OTHER DEALERSHIPS.WAY TO GO JENNY!!

Jenny Rhodes has been our service coordinator for the entire time we have owned our Prius. She is spectacular - always a smile on her face and handles the details of our service visits with ease. She makes it easy to understand the service work that will be performed, never pressures us to do more than necessary and always has the car ready when she promises. She is spectacular!

When I was purchasing my 2010 Toyota 4Runner SR5, I scoured several dealerships in Oregon before completing my final negotiation with Toyota of Gladstone. At ToG, they really have their act together. From sales to service, their focus is to ensure that the customer is happy with the process of buy and taking care of a car -- they're focused on making sure you leave happy.I've had my vehicle serviced at Toyota of Beaverton and at John and Phil's Toyota, but they just don't take care of you like they do at Gladstone. For instance, EVERY time I get my car serviced, I know that Aaron of the Gold Team is going to be taking care of me; EVERY time I bring my car in, Aaron takes me on a 360 examination of my car, noticing scratches and bumps I hadn't even noticed! One of the things I really appreciate about Aaron is that he takes his time to listen to my concerns and asks questions to ensure that he understands what his group needs to look at to address my concerns.I have several examples of this, but I'll just list a few here: (1) I installed after-market nerf bars shortly after purchasing my car. These nerf-bars required removal of fasteners which help connect the 4Runner body to the frame -- after I installed them, the car groaned each time I accelerated or stopped. I told Aaron about this and he said that his team would take a look. I get my car back a few hours later and the groaning is gone! He had his team had uninstall and reinstall the nerf bars as a complimentary service. Not only was he proactive in identifying and solving the solution, he had done this at no cost to me, even though I had created the problem. I felt very happy about this since it was my first interaction with the service department and they didn't try to charge me for every single thing they did that wasn't covered under warranty. +1 for customer loyalty.(2) Oil changes -- this is a transparency thing. I can always be sure that ToG uses the right oil and replaces my filters and gaskets as necessary. Every item (e.g., quart of oil, gasket, replaceable element) is documented in my service record (UNLIKE AT JOHN AND PHILS OR BEAVERTON TOYOTA!).(3) Bent antenna -- my radio antenna was bent to the side, probably after going through a car wash. Again, my fault for not removing my antenna or going to a touch-less car-wash. Aaron takes a look and says his team will take care of it. Car comes back, antenna straight. Tells me that they repaired it for free, even though, again, this was my fault.(4) Buzzing with the AC vents -- this has to do with the language of the report I received back. Nobody knows your car like you do. If there's a small creak or a faint buzzing when there's not supposed to be, you'll hear it. I sometimes hear a faint buzzing sound when the vent air is activated (when fan turned on, no AC). This only happens some of the time, and I wanted Aaron's team to investigate. They looked at it and couldn't reproduce the buzzing. They noted that they "could not verify [the buzzing sound] at this time." Instead of saying that I was going crazy or that I was just imagining it, they used language which made me feel more comfortable about the fact that although the service guys couldn't figure it out at this visit, they did not assume that they sound wasn't there.Every 5k miles, I get excited because I get to take my 4Runner to Toyota of Gladstone for it's interval service -- I see this as taking my 4Runner to its spa. I know that my 4Runner is in the best of hands at Toyota of Gladstone's service department. Having been to several of the larger Toyota service center/dealers here in Oregon, I have absolutely no reservations about driving 100 miles to and from Toyota of Gladstone for service appointments with Aaron. Aaron is polite, patient, and produces consistently excellent work. THANK YOU!

I came into the dealership because of a letter I had received stating that they were interested in buying my 2001 Toyota Celica.I worked with a young man by the name of Marshal Schaffer...All I can say is that he was absolutley AWESOME!!! As a woman at the age of 45, this was the very first car deal I had ever negotiated on my own and I was very nervous.From the beginning Marshal was very calm, respectful and reassuring. He made me feel very comfortable and he was very compassionate and respectful of my personal as well as financial situation...in short he treated me with the same courtesy and respect as he would his mother.He showed me a couple of vehicles, and because of his empathetic listening skills he was able to assess my needs and guide me to the car that would best fit my needs. I am very impressed with how someone so young...22...was able to so keenly know what I needed, and while it wasn't what I had orginally envisioned myself with, he was able to help me to see that the '97 Subaru Legacy Wagon was really the best deal for me...pointing out that not only would it fit my current needs, but that it would get me out of debt quicker, and help me to re-establish my credit quicker, all with a modest payment to fit my college student budget...I just cannot say enough good things about this young man.Overall, my experience with the entire dealership was fantastic from start to finish, and they were all very patient and understanding with this very nervous and scared first time car buyer with far less than perfect credit; The finance man I dealt with when my ex-husband had to come in and sign off on the Celica even handled the uncomfortable situation with the utmost of discretion.I will definately be back to Gladstone Toyota when I am ready to upgrade, as well as recommend them to all of my friends.My best wishes to Marshal as he pursues his degree in business...If he continues to develop his wonderful gifts of compassion and empathy he will go far. :) :) :) Sincerely,Kat Mahar

Best customer service. Jenny always responsive to my needs for service. Works around my schedule. Jenny is freindly and easy to talk to about concerns with my car. No concerns once repairs/service/maint. completed. I know it was done by professionals who take pride in workmanship. Freindly people eager to chit-chat, making your time at the dealer enjoyable. Explanation of work performed, parts that were replaced, cost's associated with repairs. Price of repairs are reasonable. I have never felt I was being gouged. Cost is worth the service given.

It is very easy to get our car services at Gladstone Toyota. Jenny Rhodes is an excellent service person. She answers all our questions and always lets us know the best time to bring our car in for service. If our coupon is about to expire and they are out of appointments, Jenny will honor our coupon when we come in for the first available appointment. We have had very good care at Gladstone Toyota and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase a Toyota or needing service on their Toyota.

I was traveling and had a check engine light come on. Aaron took me right in without an appointment. He had me back on the road in just over an hour. I was just thrilled.

I took my car here to get an oil change, fix a couple dents, and solve a wiring problem. They were straight forward about what the repairs would cost and they even finished with my car earlier than they quoted me! I was completely amazed! They do cost a bit more than a mom and pop shop, but I definitely noticed the difference in service and speed. I will be going back when I buy a new camry to see if their sales team is anything like their service team.

My 1986 Celica has enjoyed 25+ years of life due to the expert care that Jenny and her team have given my car. Recently Jenny gave me the dreaded news I knew would be coming one day, and that was the engine was drinking oil and the fix would be extensive and cost more than the car was now currently worth. She shared with me about the current specials the car dealership was offering. I had to think long and hard about it, but I knew she was right. So I started test driving new cars and ended up purchasing a new RAVA4. I want to thank Jenny and recognize her for being so candid with me. As a result I am a proud owner of another Toyota.

I OWN A 2010 BUICK LASABER, AND MY RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE LOCAL BUICK DEALERSHIP BECAME VERY UNSATISFACTORY. My daughter owns a Toyota and has always had good service from your service department. She recommended Jenny of the Purple Team. My reception from Jenny and the service of my car was far more than I expected. Jenny updated me on the condition of my Buick, I left feeling confident that my car was serviced properly. Also receiving a car wash was icing on the cake. Thank you.

We have taken our multiple vehicles to this dealer. No because of the company name, not because of the vehicles it sells. We have taken our vehicles there because of the incredible, top of the line service provided by one of their employees, Jenny Rhodes. We don't believe in a company or firm. We believe in people. There is something to be said for feeling like you are welcome when your arrive, being greeted with a smile, the service person remembering your name from a prior visit, and remembering your service history - not because it has been looked up in a computer, but because the person really cares not only about your vehicle, but also about you. It's also a pleasure not to have to chase down information or an answer; but when asking a question, if the answer is not immediately available, knowing that she will call you back and let you know. It is so refreshing to meet and have a business relationship with a person who actually cares about what they do. There is also something to be said for dealing with a person who has a genuine presence. So many mechanical places we're gone, whether dealerships or the local corner lube joint, have employees who are there to seemingly provide as little service as possible but have no problem on focusing on up-selling. With Jenny, I don't worry about her up-selling me, because she provides the focus and service on me and my family first. If businesses don't think the consumer realizes when they are being sold a bill of goods, they are deceiving only themselves. Jenny provides service first; so I don't have to worry about being sold a bill of goods . . . and know that I have purchased quality materials and maintenance for my vehicle. She has impressed me so much that I call to make sure she is working before I bring my vehicle in; because if she isn't, I'm willing to wait until she is. She's worth it. She makes Toyota of Gladstone worth my business.

I didn't used to think that a dealership had anything better to offer than any other mechanic for fixing a car. But recently when I had a major problem with my Toyota I had it worked on at the Gladstone Toyota dealership. Jenny explained about the mechanics having special training specific to Toyotas and only using Toyota parts not generics. Jenny is so knowledgabe and I will only be bringing my car to her in the future. Thanks.

Thank you for your great care of my van.

Jeff and Joe were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked with me to reach a price I could live with. They were honest and didn't try to snow me or manipulate me. They went the extra mile and even followed up with me to make sure everything was great with my Prius.A++ rating.

Peggy has been the service manager for my 2008 highlander for several years. Excellent care and communication on her part. The service has always been on time and complete. Thank you for your courteous care. I appreciate you julie miller I also had the interior cleaned and it is like a new car. I can only tell you that Peggy has always given me the complete price and always explained why. I think she should be complemented on a well done job.

Car issues is one of my least favorite things to deal with. Working with Jenny, I know she will always give me a straight answer. She is very knowledgable in her job. Always accomodating to our time schedule and very friendly. She makes "car issues" a little more tolerable. I would recommend Jenny and Gladstone Toyota Service.

I brought my truck in for service and to look some noise in the front end. The problem was not found, so I took it back to have it checked again. The service person (Peggy) was very helpful, the service man that went for a ride explained how the four wheel drive was suppose to work, but was unable to find the noise.

I have followed Jenny for the last 25 years. I go where she is. I have always recieved GOOD PROMPT servace from her. I know up front how much it will cost. She has often let me know when I come in for an oil change what the next trip will be. Example next time you should get this or that done and how much it will cost. I have found her to be honest in all her dealings with me. I also choose to wait for my car she has kept me inforned on the progression of my work that is important to me. When my nephew served in Iraq he left me incharge of his Toyota. He knew I would take care of it like my own which ment Jenny would be getting the mantince done on it to. My car is more than a car. The last car I had was a Toyota I had it for 21 years and close to 3000,000 miles on it I cryed when I left it to take my new car home. It is my oppion that that car lasted that long because Jenny and the servace guys worked on her. Thank you Deborah Mathews

I have been a toyota owner since i got my licence it is all i will ever buy. I bought a car knowing it had issues. i then brought it to your dealership/shop to determine the extent of the issues. They were not only very proffesional but jenny expained everything in great detail that needed to be fixed. She than told me what needed to be done before i should start driving it after having the work done i was very pleased and suprised at the cost for it was less than i had expected. Because of the work of the mechanics and the way jenny carried her self in helping me i have decided that if i was to every but a car new i would come to your dealership.

My husband and I were out looking for a new car. We had been to several dealerships up and down McLoughlin BLVD but just didn't care for what we were seeing or test driving (Honda,Chevrolet,Hyundai,Mitsubishi,Chrysler). When we got to Gladstone Toyota, Moe greeted us in a very friendly, polite, none pushy manner. He has a great up beat energy. After Moe introduced us to the 2010 Toyota Venza, then test driving it, we fell in love with the car. Both my husband and I got really excited about the car...first one of the day. I was not excited to buy a new car because of how pushy the sales reps. can be. Both Moe and Josh really listened to what we were saying about how we were on a very tight budget. They both put forth special effort to make us a fabulous deal. Moe was so friendly...and extremely knowledgeable when it came to looking at the cars. Even went through how many air bags were on the Venza and how, if ever in a head on collision, the front of the car would bow out, not cave in and the engine would drop under the car not into the driver and passenger....very impressed. We bought the 2010 Toyota Venza and love the car. After being a "Van mom" for 18 years it is a welcomed change. After we bought the car, Moe gave us a tour of the dealership showing us the restrooms, service area and how the service area works. He told us that if we ever needed our car worked on and it took longer then then a simple wait,we would be given a rental car at no charge to us. The dealership is very clean and orderly. We even got to watch the Super Bowl which was great! I will recommend Toyota Gladstone to everyone I know. I could not believe how nice we were treated. I told my husband to pinch me,I think I am dreaming.....of course to knew better not to ;). Thank you Moe and Josh... The owner of Gladstone Toyota dealership should be proud of you both for your exceptional representation of Gladstone Toyota.

I went to Gladstone Toyota to look at my options for buying a new car. When I arrived I had no intention of purchasing a car that day.i was nervous because I had never purchased a car without the help of my parents. The employee, Josh Von Ruden, was extremely friendly and helpful. He made this experience so easy and pleasent. I ended up buying a Toyota Corolla and felt that I walked away with a good deal. I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of at all, he made me feel like I was part of his family. I would recommend this dealership to anyone. It was a great experience. Thank you Gladstone!

The reason I work with this dealership is because of the service by my service advisor, Peggy Mabon. I purchased via her recommendation. I trust her advice totally. She is always so pleasant to work with. Whatever Peggy thinks my car needs, I will have done.

I highly recommend this dealership. I purchased my Toyota Tundra in 2009 using the online sales department. I was able to get the pickup I wanted at the price I wanted. Since then, I have used Gladstone Toyota's Service Department. Jenny Rhodes is my service manager. I like that I get to deal with the same person, who now knows me and my vehicle, every time I bring my pickup in for service. Jenny is helpful and informative. She gives me all the information about recommended maintenance without being pushy. She is very customer service orientated. She goes out of her way to make sure I am happy and the service is top notch. One time when my windshield got cracked Jenny coordinated with the glass repair shop of my choosing to come to the service department. The windshield was replaced while it was there for an oil change. This saved me a lot of time and driving around. I appreciated that Jenny went out of her to make this happen. My experience has been that all of the employees are very friendly when I arrive to the service department. I have always been pleased with the quality of service. When something is repaired, it is done right the first time. I feel the price is great for the quality of work performed.

This was my first experience of buying a car from a dealership and I was nervous, but I actually had a wonderful experience at the Gladstone dealership. The staff there was very friendly and made it a positive experience for me. Anton Robinson was my sales representative and he was great to work with. He went above and beyond to make sure I got the exact car that I wanted at a great price. We look forward to returning when it is time to get my husband a new vehicle.

I am a very disappointed Prius 2010 customer. I purchased the Prius because I expected excellent mileage and high quality Toyota customer responsiveness. According to the Prius sticker, I could expect between 51 and 48 mpg for city and highway driving. My mileage for the first two tanks of gas was 44 mpg. Since then it has been 40 mpg. What a disappointment.The dealer offered a one-month checkup to see how things were going. When I mentioned the poorer than expected mileage, I was told, The electronics check out OK. I felt they blew me off. A few months ago, the cruise control wouldnt set than later did start working. I believe the reason is cold weather.Around a month ago, Toyota sent me an electronic customer survey and I replied bluntly saying that I wish I had not purchased the Prius, that I tell my friends not to buy one and that I think Toyota is providing the kinds of cars and service GM did last 30 years.Knowing Toyotas reputation for customer service, I expected an immediate reply. As of today, I have not received any response from Toyota. It appears that Toyota only wants to hear from delighted customers and ignores disappointed ones.I am going to go to another local dealer to see if they can address my concerns better than Gladstone's service department can.

Jenny makes all her customers feel great about the place the car is being serviced by and we all feel that our satisfaction is very important to her. There is no problem that she will not tackle and she encourages a return visit. Jenny is an asset to Gladstone Toyota.

I have my car serviced at Toyota Gladstone where I bought it every 5000 miles and am very happy with the service they have provided, how timely they are, and the detail with which they tell me about my car and what it needs. I have had no problems with the car and it has 30,000 miles. When I am thinking of buying anotehr car someday, I will definitely return since purchasing the car there was very easy since I knew what I wanted, I knew the price I wanted to pay, they had the car and I bought it for the price I wanted to after doing extensive research on prices of a new Prius. It was very easy and they were friendly and helpful.

Excellent service from Duy, Kevin and the finance guys. I especially liked Duy taking time out to show me all of the many features of my car. I appreciate the staff having respect for a lone female coming in to buy a car. They did not talk down to me the way many dealerships have done. Instead, all were respectful and a pleasure to deal with. I would strongly encourage anyone, but especially women making a purchase by themselves, to come see Duy at Gladstone Toyota.

I wanted to purchase a Camry. Called ahead - spoke to sales associate to check if they have what I was looking for, and to ensure they will match other local competitor prices. They promised me they have the lowest prices in town, and will beat any competitor price. When I went down, they showed me the car and when I showed them the paper ad, they refused to match the price - their price was 2K above that of broadway and royal moore. I felt cheated going there. Drove to broadway toyota from there, and got the car I was looking for, at the price mentioned in the ad. I am in the market for another toyota - but gladstone is off my list.

Duy Dang was very professional and knew what he was talking about. He gave me the best deal that I know I cannot get anywhere else, and from anyone else. He was very very nice, he did not feel like he was selling me a car. He did not make me feel pressured at all. He asked what I wanted and then came up with the best options that I could do and afford. He is caring about his customers and I feel he is the best guy to buy a car from, no matter where you live. I wish I knew about him earlier. Now I know where to go all the time and I will recommend everyone to him. I am very satisfied and happy with my options and choices he gave me, and I am very excited about my new car!!! Thanks to Duy!!!

Ryan Donato really went all out to make this an exceptional car buying experience. I drove three hours to pick up the vehicle and everything was prepared exactly as described, I was in and out in less than two hours, with no surprises. I can easily recommend Mr. Donato as a customer service focused representative who accomplished everything I asked. I will contact him in the future with repeat business.

Seth Dustin, the Internet Manager, is the person to deal with! He does what he promises, andstays with you each step of the new car buying process. Even though I asked for a car brought up from CA, Seth made all the contacts so I received the exact new car I wanted, and with the terms I had asked for. Each time I went into this dealership I was treated respectfully, and now feel as if I am part of their Toyota family. On the scale 1-5, I rate them a 10!!!

Unquestionably the best dealership on the West Coast. I now reside in the California wine country and just made the 12+ hour drive (each way) solely to purchase my newest vehicle from Duy at Toyota of Gladstone. This recent purchase (a 2011 4Runner) is the 3rd, or 4th vehicle that I have purchased from Duy. Duy's sense of customer service and attention to detail is impeccable. A quick example: on the day that I was scheduled to pick up the vehicle, I was hung up elsewhere and needed to get the 4Runner to a nearby Les Schwab for the installation of custom tires before they closed. When I called Duy and explained my problem, he dropped what he was doing and delivered the new 4Runner to the store, then waited for me until I arrived. The new vehicle, which I had never seen before, was immaculately prepared and EXACTLY as he had described. Later, Duy took the time to fully explain the features and operation of the new vehicle. Duy followed up by phone, text and email the next day to make sure that I had made it back to Northern California ok and that I was satisfied with the vehicle. Wow, even my own family doesn't show that kind of concern!This dealership, which is managed by David Elder, is clean, friendly, fair, and game and drama free. The pricing is always fair, the service department is reliable and accommodating, and they are clearly more interested in maintaining lifetime customers than a quick sale. Over the years I have referred a number of family and friends to Duy at Toyota of Gladstone, and all have become repeat customers. In one instance a friend in California flew to Portland to pick up his new vehicle from Duy. Duy picked him up from the airport (probably 20+ miles each way) and transported him back to the dealership to complete the delivery. This I might add, was not even a new vehicle, but a used vehicle. Truly first rate service and dedication!I can't say enough good things about Duy and this dealership. If you're interested in a new Toyota, or even a used vehicle of another make, do yourself a favor and give Duy a call. You'll be glad you did.

This was my third buying experience with Toyota of Gladstone.I was interested in buying a new Yaris and wanted to keep my payments the same with no out-of-pocket expense. The sales staff figured out a way for me to move up to a new Camry with all of the options that I wanted.After driving my new car home I discovered that one of the options I wanted was not installed. Ron and Rich immediately corrected this problem by having this item installed at dealer expense.Also, I am very impressed with the service department and the work that they do. Jenny has made sure that all of my Toyota's are in top condition.I will continue to do business with Gladstone Toyota and to recommend them to my friends and associates.Sam FlahertyCanby, OR

The fact that this dealership definitely remembers their long-time customers on a first name basis, provides thorough explanations model options, and carefully show the "how to" get familiar with new car workings has always impressed me. Just purchased my 4th car in 5 yrs at Gladstone -- 2010 Prius IV. While I was hoping for a little higher value on my 2010 Corolla trade-in, at least the explanations and effort put forth to 'make the deal' yielded a positive experience.It is the follow-up support and the quality service dept team that also 'brings me back'.Thanks Duy, Sean, Tyson, and David, and the rest of the team.-RufusSilverton Oregon

Over the years, I have purchased several cars and the last 3 have been Toyota's. I have never been treated as well as I have been treated at Gladstone Toyota. First of all, I did an internet price search using both COSTCO and Consumers Report referrals to the dealer. Gladstone's price was considerably below all other prices quoted and, additionally, Seth Dustin, their internet manager was straight forward and very honest throughout the whole dealing. Gladstone promised several "extras" on the Highlander we bought and, even though some of them were not on the car when delivered, they, without hesitation, met all of their commitments, some of which were only verbal and not in the contract. I have had one service appointment with this dealership and my service advisor reflected the same sort of candor and honesty in dealing with my questions and concerns. Everyone I have met at this company, and they ensured I even met the General Manager, has been open, friendly and very straightforward. Very unusual for a car dealer, and very refreshing.

Over the past 4-5 years, I have met and worked with many of the staff at Toyota of Gladstone, from the General Manager to the Service Department. All have made me feel very welcome and have worked very hard to make sure I get what I want and need. They are my trusted advisors, as well as sales/service staff. This recent visit was basically an inquiry, as I didn't think it was possible to make a purchase at this time, but they located the perfect car and did everything in their power to make it come together. It worked!! We felt it was a miracle!Each and every staff member has my trust and, in many cases, my friendship. Amazing group of international people! I'm so very fortunate to have found this dealership and worked with Phil Habibi all those years ago. I now can send my friends there, with the trust that they will be treated with courtesy, respect and a genuine concern to make a fair and honest sale.

We are very happy with our new Venza! Brian worked hard to help us get everything we wanted on our new car and was very patient, even when we kept changing our minds with respect to color. We liked the fact that he kept in touch with us, but did not push us into making a decision. He spent a lot of time with us when we picked up the car explaining how everything worked. I would recommend Brian and Anton to anyone interested in purchasing a Toyota!

I'd recommend this dealer for any car purchase. We were very specific about the type of vehicle we wanted and even called ahead to be sure that they had it in stock. We were concerned with getting in and out of there with a new car in under 2 hours, as we usually have our toddler with us or with a sitter and find hanging out at car dealerships unbearably boring. To our surprise this dealership was different than most. the sales person who specialized in Prius sales was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The financing guys were quick and efficient. We were in and out of there in no time with a new car.Thanks

I had great experience working with Duy Dang, he was very nice, friendly and did not push in any way but helped me on my purchased of a brand new Toyota Camry quite enjoyable at a fair price and helped me get the approval of 0% with fairly low credit score! but Duy Dang made it happened. I just wanted to thank Duy Dang and his general sales manager Mr. Dick Stiefel and the finance manager Mr. Sean Kim very much for helping me on my purchase; it was such a great experience at Toyota of Gladstone; best salesman, friendly, great services and a big new and used vehicles selection. I will tell my friends to see Duy Dang when they are ready to purchase a new or used vehicle for sure. Thanks again.

This was my first time purchasing a car and I was very nervous after hearing stories from friends and family about terrible car buying experiences. Luckily, the guys that helped me buy my new Toyota Yaris were friendly and not overly pushy. I worked with Seth Dustin in the internet department who told me to bring in my best quote and they would beat it. Amazingly, they actually did what they said they would.

Advertisement on website stated Call for Price. Called and was told a price. Drove for 1.5 hours and test drove vehicle. Went in to do paper work and was then told price was $5,000 higher than quoted on phone. Manager stated salesman gave wrong price. Sorry you drove 1.5 hours. Lost my business and anyone else that would like to learn about their integrity and how they value possible customers. Made call to General Manager on way home to file a complaint and was told was with a customer. GM never called.

I recently purchased a Toyota Certified Prius. I went to several Toyota dealerships in the Portland area and found Toyota of Gladstone to be the easiest to work with and they had the best selection of vehicles. We agreed on a fair price and I was pleased with the speed and ease of the purchase process. The sales team met all of their commitments to make sure I was completely satisfied with my vehicle. Overall, it was a great experience!

As a retired priest of the Episcopal Church, I do not regard myself as being a "good, hard-nosed negotiator", but I am a very good judge of character. Duy Dang impressed me immensely with his personal integrity, courtesy, product knowledge (Prius), clarity of explanation, patience, focus, and flexibility. Having learned something of his remarkable personal background and his daily courage at work with chronic pain and inspiring determination, his conduct with us in our buying experience was genuinely extraordinary. It was a great privilege to meet and work with him. John Hall should be commended, also, for his firm, courteous, non-pushy focus on our business at hand and his willingness to show flexibility toward arriving at our final agreement. These two gentlemen make a fine team and worked well together which speaks highly of their respective personal accommodations anad, I trust, of the character and discipline of the whole Gladstone organization. We sought out Duy Dang very intentionally from friends who had bought their Prius through Duy, and he exceeded all the expectations we gathered from them.

The staff at the used car dealership went out of their way to make me happy with my purchase. The 2005 Dodge Magnum we bought was low on fuel and there was a scratch in the bumper which the dealership promised to take care of. The gas tank was filled and the bumper was repaired without delay. The dealership even took care of a few other minor things wrong with the car to make us happy. The finance person, Jamshid, even rushed the paperwork for us because we had two small children with us that needed to get to bed as we had been out all day car shopping. The overall experience was excellent and it was the first time we have been treated so well by a dealership. I want to give a special thank you to Ron Roth and Derek Denny, they took care of everything I asked for with a smile and great attitude. The next time I am in the market for a new or used car I will definitely go back to Toyota of Gladstone.

I purchased a certified pre owned car at Toyota of Gladstone. I was told I had to pay a $249 "etching" fee for security on the car. I told the salesman I didn't want it. I was told all their cars come with it and I didn't have a choice. After I purchased the car, I registered it with Toyota.com and was able to access the complete service history of the car. I saw they charged the original owner for this exact service two years ago, proving I paid $249 for a service that was never performed. I called the dealer to complain and now I have to drive back down there to get a refund check. They should be honest just to start with. Also, be cautious if you are wanting an extended warranty. Mine was $2400, although they sold it to me for $2100 because I "had a previous Toyota loan." After I got home I started checking online and I could get a better warranty for $1055. Seems awfully shady.

With my bad credits, people at Toyota of Gresham, Portland, and Broadway was unable to help me secure an auto loan for the 2011 Camry I wanted. (Makes me wonder after visiting Dewey at Toyota of Gladstone, if its my credit or the customer service that didn't get a deal done for me at the previous Toyota dealers I visited.) Friends recommend me to visit Dewey at Toyota Gladstone. Glad I did. The moment he greeted me, I felt a good sense of comfortably that he will get a deal for me. After failing to get a deal done with the other Toyota dealers, I wasn't very optimistic that Dewey could. But he worked, worked, and worked and got me a loan with ZERO, yes!, ZERO down. How could that be, right? I don't know, but he helped to get me a loan for ZERO down and very low interest. I was very surprised by the work Dewey did for me and appreciated every step of the process he guided me through to get the car and the great loan. I hope more people will have the chance to experience the excellent services, friendliness, professionalism that Dewey brings to Toyota of Gladstone team. Thank you Dewey!

Gladstone Toyota and it's employees from the first step on the lot, meeting sales rep Ron Roth, manager Josh Von Ruden, then Jam Shid in financing It was a painless effort from start to finish to get the truck I wanted.

Every aspect of this experience was positive. At no point did I feel pressured, nor did I leave the lot in my new car thinking that I had just made a mistake. I feel grateful for my experience here and will return in the future. I have bought a new car before, however it was with the assistance of my parents (co-signers) this time, I was the lone party in the transaction. I felt like I could trust the sales guys and all of the other people there.

Jay, the fleet dealer, was nice and low pressure, but he was busy so he had to pass us off to two salesmen. We were maybe going to trade in a vehicle so we asked for a estimate. They gave us a quote that was insulting, way below Kelly Blue Book trade in value, and wasted our time. After the quote, we really felt like they were trying to screw us over. I have never had such a bad dealership experience. Not worth the drive or my time.

We came to this dealership with the intentions of buying a 2007/08 Prius. The prices just were not in our price range however and then Josh suggested leasing a brand new Prius. We talked about leasing incentives and Josh worked with us to get the price we wanted and now we love our brand new Prius! It was a really pleasant experience and the Gladstone employees really listened to our needs and wants in a car.

This is my fisrt experience with purchasing a vehicle by means of the internet. I found it very convenient to search for the vehicle I wanted. This is much less of a hassle than going to a dealership. I never fealt pressured at any time though the sales representative was responsive and delivered on all of his promises. Initially, I was concerned about the security aspect of making a big purchase like this over the internet. In the end, I found going with a established and reputable dealership was safe and secure. Overall, I found the process easy and convenient and I am quite pleased with my new truck.

Duy Dang was an excellent sales rep. and I recommend this dealership to all others looking for any Toyota including other car brands they're interested in. He also had a terrific sales team. They made the process enjoyable and the trip to Toyota was more than worth it.

All the staff I dealt with at Gladstone Toyota were great to work with, friendly, low pressure, concerned that I was satisfied. I highly recommend them for a great car purchase deal. Especially liked the internet opportunity to get quotes before I ever walked in the door.

Duy Dang was great in helping me make my selection of my car; a 2010 prius. Going into the dealership, I wasn't quite sure of what kind of car I wanted; I wanted one that fit me. Duy helped me make a great decision! The car fits my lifestyle perfectly. The car-buying process stresses a lot of people out, but Duy made the process smooth and easy. He helped with any questions that I had and was understanding of my poor credit score. I would defintely recommend Toyota of Gladstone to a friend and tell them to ask for Duy!

Our goal was to purchase a new Prius, hassle fee within a week. I found it very easy to setup a deal on-line with Gladstone and then even easier to finalize purchase and take delivery of the car. I would recommend this dealership. All involved seemed more interested in making sure we were happy with the car rather than pushing a deal.

The buying experience with Gladstone Toyota and with Seth Dustin went very smoothly. We worked together via email and the phone to negotiate the deal for the 4Runner that met our specs, which wasn't easy considering we wanted a model with 3rd row seating. Seth was very responsive and helped us thru the process at a decent price. Once the 4Runner was delivered, the Gladstone staff efficiently and effectively closed the transaction without any funny business which was appreciated.

Jay Tuffli from Toyota of Gladstone was exceptional! Our initial contact was through the Costco Online program. He was speedy with replying to our online request and very thorough with taking the information that we gave him and finding the right car for us. Jay never seemed to get frustrated when we would ask for more information or to go look at the cars "again". Initially, we just went to Toyota of Gladstone to "look", but Jay was able to give us an extrememly fair trade-in value for our car. He also did a little leg-work to have the Rav4 that we wanted shipped to his dealership since he didn't have one in stock. Our car was delivered within just a few days. It was in pristine condition upon delivery. Although Jay was out of town on the day we picked it up, he had everything ready, including the Cargo Mat and touch-up paint that we requested. He had Seth Dustin go over the delivery worksheet with us and Seth was also exceptional with his patience with questions and his thoroughness with explaining the features of the vehicle. Both Jay and Seth made us feel that we were the only customers in the showroom. Although our home is only 1.5 miles away from a local Toyota dealership, we would be willing to make the 45 minute drive to the Gladstone Dealership again because of the truly exceptional customer service that we received from Jay and the rest of the crew at Gladstone Toyota. Jay's friendly, non-pressured approach to selling vehicles is highly respected and these days it seems hard to come by such wonderful customer service. We will be happy to recommend him to others so that they may have the same auto purchasing experience that we had. We love our new RAV4, too!!!

My wife and I found a particular 2011 Sienna that we liked and negotiated with Jay Tuffli over email. He was very quick with his best price, and I eventually put a $500 credit card deposit on the car. I asked about extra fees, and Jay told me there were only about $90 in fees for the temporary license and something else I can't remember.I was a bit nervous that there would be extra fees or that there would be some sales shenanigans. When we drove down from Seattle, WA to the dealership in Gladstone, OR, Jay was very friendly and there were, indeed, no extra fees. We came in, looked at it, test drove it, and did all the paperwork in about 2 hours, which was great. We liked Jay a lot and would highly recommend him.Two things to note:1. The car had no floor mats, and my wife thought it was a bit chintzy given how much a Sienna XLE AWD costs (ie, a lot). Jay was able to convince his GM to send us floor mats after we had already left, with my wife grumbling about floor mats. That really put Jay over the top as far as customer service, and we appreciate that.2. The finance guy in the back room tried very hard to sell us extra warranties and add-ons. We thought he crossed the line by "throwing in" a 2-year/25k mile maintenance package. He made it sound like you had to buy the warranty to get it, but it was a freebie Toyota incentive at the time. After we said no multiple times, he relented and said the maintenance package was free and we'd get it anyways. We didn't like that at all. Toyota is already trying to repair its quality image, and we really didn't think we needed a hard sell to pay thousands extra in case it had issues 5-7 years down the line. Toyota dealers should say "we believe in our cars and don't think most people need the extra warranty, but it does provide peace of mind if you want that" and not do the stereotypical car dealer hard sell.This last point is why we gave a 4 for overall experience instead of a 5.

Duy was great. The finance person 'David' had to stay late to get all the paperwork done and I know he wanted to go home but he stayed for as long as it took. It was a good experience. I still feel terrible about the finance person that was going through all the work for me.... for that I am truly sorry because I didn't get out of the dealership until 9:30 ot 10:00 that night.Thank You.

This was the first time my wife and I came to the Dealership because it is located far away from my home. We heard about this Dealership from words-of-mouth, from a friend. We came and had an excellent experience with this Dealership. The environment was very clean, bright and welcoming. The selections were great. The whole staff was very friendly. Especially, we were pleased with and grateful for the service and help from Duy Dang; in our opinion he is an excellent salesman. Ultimately, we received excellent price and promising services. We love this Dealership.

By far the best new car buying experience, I have ever been involved with. At first, I was wary of the friendliness and help in looking at the cars. Before I finished, I realized that the people did care and wanted me to find the right car for me and not just any car. I just seemed like every step from selecting the right car, the right price, the right financing, and being ready to drive the car home was done professionally. People really cared.

Jay Tuffli (Fleet Manager) & Allen Mezghiche (Certified Sales Manager) had treat me well and do their best to get me the truck I wanted eventhough they had to go to Seatle to get. I got the truck with the best deal in town with the help of Jay & Allen.If I need to purchase a new car again I would love to deal with both genlement in the future and never hesitate to recommend anyone with this dealer for sure.Again, thank for all your help Jay, Seith, & Allen.

I recently had the pleasure of buying a car from Toyota of Gladstone. I was assisted in that endeavor by Duy Dang, who more than exceeded my expectations. I have had some financial difficulties in recent years and have not even tried to look for a car because I knew I wouldn't be able to get financing. Duy, John and Josh took a completely new and unique approach which succeeded in putting me in a comfortable, reliable and good-looking car and with an affordable payment to boot. They actually looked for financing first and then found a car that fit the lender's parameters. In spite of what seemed to be a "backwards" approach, I ended up with a car that met every one of my requirements ... economical (mileage in excess of 30 mpg), reliable (still under warranty), professional looking, and with a 5-speed manual transmission to boot! Before I picked the car up, Duy put it through their Detail Dept. And it looked gorgeous when I went to pick it up. And Jamshid walked me through the required mountain of paperwork quickly and painlessly. Everyone I came in contact with was friendly, professional and helpful without making me feel pressured or rushed.I will gladly refer all of my friends and family to Duy, et al, and I doubt that I will ever buy a car from anyone else.Many Thanks to Duy, John, Josh and Jamshid for an experience I will NEVER forget!B B Wilson

We got a deal, and satisfied on our purchased a Toyota Matrix from Toyota of Gladstone.Duy Dang is the man we met at the first time. He listened our needs, and tried to fit our budget by searching the cars available in his inventory. Mr Duy is very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. We can't emphazise this enough, Duy explained in details some vehicles we tested, and also made some recommendations.It was not a long time to waiting, finally we picked a car we like best. Duy and his dealership stand behind what they sell.At last, we drive home happy. Thanks again Mr Duy Dang, you did a great job!

I have used this shop for 2 trucks and 1 car over the last 25 years. They always get me in when I call, make sure they understand what is wrong and always fix the problem. In this case my alternator blew, wasn't sure if the wiring harness was bad too but once the alternator was in found no harness was needed. Called me immediately with both estimate and when vehicle was finished so I could get there before closing. I live in Salem, Oregon which is about 50 miles away and have a job that is difficult to schedule car repair around. Outstanding service shop. I won't ever buy a truck any place else. And I believe Jenny has been my contact for most of the years I have used them and hope she stays until I don't need a truck any longer!Thank you,Gail Lough

I return to this dealership to have my vehicle serviced solely because of Jenny Rhodes in the service department. She is helpful and very knowledgeable about my vehicle, and goes above and beyond to ensure that both the customer and the customer's vehicle are treated in an exemplary fashion. She recognizes that customers do not have time to waste, and always gets the maintenance done correctly in the least amount of time, with a smile and a friendly attitude. As impressive, her attitude is the only reason I visit this dealership...I attempted twice in the recent past to purchase a vehicle here, but both times I encountered auto salesman who were not knowledgeable about the Toyota vehicle I sought, rude and downright deceptive (liars). I walked out the second time, went to another Toyota dealership, and bought a car the very same day. Even though I would never buy a vehicle from the sales department here because of their past behavior, they do get all of my service business because of Jenny, as well as two other friends of mine who consider Jenny their service advisor, also.

Jason showed me a number of makes and models in which we test drove. Still wasn't quite sure of which car I was comfortable buying, so I took a couple of days to think it over before deciding on a Scion, in which I kept in touch with Jason. He made himself available during the late evening so I could complete the paperwork and went through all the features of the car with me.

The service I received at this dealership was incredible and relatively painless. Adel was a perfect sales representative in which he made sure that I buy the very vehicle that I wanted. He was very patient and respectful and I felt that I knew him all my life. He is truly a remarkable gentleman along with Sean who kept digging in the trenches for me, Mohamed another salesperson who also made my experience a wonderful one even though he was not my salesperson,Dion my finance guy who made signing papers a breeze and Tyson at the very end who was very helpful and was there to answer any questions that I had regarding my brand new yaris. I can see why this dealership is number one in Oregon and Washington. The wonderful customer service each gentlemen provided to me was outstanding and definitely a great car buying experience. The steak lunch provided was definitely a nice touch to a perfect day. Thanks for working with me and thanks for my beautiful brand spanking new yaris.

I just want to continue to give a thank you to Duy Dang at Toyota of Glastone. We have purchased a couple of cars over the past few years with Duy and it never failed that Duy would always follow up long after the transaction is completed. He would make sure that we are enjoying the new vehicle, if we need anything, or if we have gotten the license plate yet, etc... We have dealt with some car salemen from a different dealer, and unfortunately, as soon as the transaction is finished, we would never hear from both the saleman and the dealership. Again, my family and I just want to say thank you to Duy Dang at Toyota of Gladstone for delivering us another great experience!!!

After purchasing my first ever "new" car, I was a little nervous about bringing it into a dealer, as I had heard so many horror stories from friends about services they had experienced. I have to say I was really impressed from the very beginning. I was connected to Jenny Rhodes, who was so knowledgeable and really in tune with communicating how everything worked. Since then, Fall 2007 I have had nothing but really good experiences dealing with the service department through Jenny, who always takes such good care of me! I really like my car, AND I very much appreciate knowing I can trust the people who help me take care of it!

No matter the automotive need we have had with our 2008 Camry, purchased new at Toyota of Gladstone, we have always received stellar, extra-mile customer service from Jenny and her team. Even when other options are available, Jenny is just one of the outstanding reasons we continue to return for service. Jenny rocks!JS

I took my 2010 Camry in for some additional installations. First, I got great help from Samson in Parts department. Then he transferred me out to Chris who was extremely helpful. He answered and followed up with all of my questions. He even arranged for a rental car for me. During the whole process of installing the extra optional parts for my car, Chris called and kept me update w/the process. When I came to pick up my car, Jose in service department came out to show and explained about the work. Great job for everyone. Thank you to Chris and everyone for going the extra mile for me-- Great customer service!!!

I first contacted Duy Dang via email for a price quote on the 2010 Highlander Hybrid, he responded within half an hour with the quote in full details that explained all the options and prices that I was looking into. Then on the weekend I went to the dealership and talked to Duy. He spent 4 hours with me going over all the options and functions of the vehicle and walked me through the whole buying process. I'm very happy with my decision to purchase my new Highlander with Duy. He's very through and careful with all the details on the car as well as my financing, DMV fees and insurance processes. I'd definately recommend Duy Dang and Gladstone Toyota to my family and friends because they provided excellent customer services and meet all customers' needs. I feel confident with my purchase with Duy Dang at Gladstone Toyota where I only worked with him throughout the whole process, and that's the exact service I'd expected when I wanted to buy a new car. Thank you Duy and Gladstone Toyota for your great assistance that helped my purchase less stressful.Teresa Nguyen.

We bought a 2008 Sienna 2 yrs. ago. Duy Dang took care and followed up with all of our questions/needs. It was the most enjoyable experience for us in a car dealership. Yesterday, we bought a 2010 Camry-- We made sure that Duy was working before we went in. Again, ANOTHER GREAT EXPERIENCE. Duy delivered again for us. Duy continues to treat us with respect, he listens and answers to our needs. If you want a new or used car, we highly recommend Duy Dang to take care of your purchasing experience at Toyota of Gladstone. Over the last two years, some of my friends and 2 coworkers have bought their cars after I told them about Duy. Needless to say, they were and are extremely happy with the services that were provided by Duy and the dealership. Kudos to Duy Dang!!!!!

I was fortunate enough to work this entire transaction prior to going to the dealership online through their website. I asked for invoice pricing and Scott was able to offer this pricing. The experience this dealership was extremely painless and the customer service from Scott and Dion was first rate. There wasn't any pressure to purchase something that I didn't think was beneficial to my needs.Transactions over the internet from Scott was personable, fast, efficient, and smooth. He kept in touch with me from the beginning inquiry to the actual purchase. It was nice not having to go into a dealership and get hounded by 4 salesman vying for your business. The only one thing about the experience that wasn't favorable were a couple of small things. There looked like too many salesman hanging around not doing anything. One salesman was clipping his fingernails in direct sight waiting for the phone. This was a little disgusting to have to hear. I haven't had too many car buying experiences, but the time it took from getting there to leaving wasn't exceptional, but wasn't bad at the same time. (About 2.5 hrs)Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I'd definitely work with Scott again in the future!

This was the easiest new car buying experience ever. I had to conduct the negotiating via email. At the time, I only had a bike to get around and was going out of town a lot for work. Scott was very patient with me and all of my questions. I was also negotiating with several other dealerships in town at the same time. The other dealers either lied to me, got impatient, or kept saying, "I don't have what you've asked for, but what I do have is.....". Scott was very professional and didn't try to talk me into a car I didn't want. We agreed on the price online. When I came to check out the car, Jay handed over the key and let me drive it without a sales person in the car. I didn't even have to ask. I bought the car and brought it home that day. Gladstone Toyota treats the customer with respect. That's the way to gain and keep customers.

We had originally set up an appointment with Seth for later in the day, but requested a change to an earlier time. That request was met and Seth had done his homework by the time we arrived. He already had a vehicle available that most nearly matched our needs when we arrived. This turned out to be the vehicle we purchased. After showing the first vehicle to us, he showed us others that were similar. The entire process was conducted in a very courteous manner with no undue pressure, which we abhor and probably would not have tolerated. After taking delivery of the vehicle and on the way home, we discovered a chip in the windshield. We were able to return the next day and the chip was repaired at no cost. The only occasion during which we were pressured was during the processing of the paperwork in the business office. The person with whom we worked was very courteous and pleasant to work with in every way. However, the sales pitch for the extended service contract was pretty intense. We had to say "no" over and over again to navigate this portion of the process. We got the distinct impression, however, that the person making the presentation was under extreme pressure from above to sell the contract. This was the only negative part of our purchase experience with Toyota of Gladstone.

My 1986 Celica has only known Toyota servicing. Since 1989, Jenny has been the primary service care person. Even tho this is an old car, she always makes me feel like this car's care is just as important as any new car. Lately, getting Toyota parts have started to become a problem, Jenny took 2-3 days calling around the country trying to locate a specific genuine Toyota part. That really said alot about how much she cares about her job and about my car. Plus, she is always so cheery, friendly, fun to be around. She makes me feel like my car is family. Thus, I will continue to come to Gladstone Toyota Service Center, primarily because of Jenny Rhodes and how much she cares about making sure that my car is taken care of correctly, and in a timely manner.Plus, I let everyone I know that owns a Toyota to be sure and ask for Jenny and the PURPLE team, cuz, "they are the best"!

Pressured, Disgusted, Outraged.My husband and I came in to look at new cars. The entire time I was pressured. We found the car we wanted, but they couldnt meet our needs payment wise. When we told them we were going to look around, they then said they could make it work! I asked for a few minutes to get something to eat, think about my decision, and come back. Mr. Overton told me that if I left, the deal they could provide me would expire. They asked to review my car to see how much I could get for trade-in value. While they were doing that they asked me permission to review my credit. I signed a form that stated ONLY that they were being given permission to check my credit. After two hours I decided that I wasnt comfortable with purchasing today. So my husband and I left. When we came home we realized they didnt give us the registration back. So my husband went back to get it. While there, Sean Overton told my husband that I had signed up for a credit card, and that I had to come back to sign a form to cancel my credit card. My husband then demanded to see the form. Sean could not provide that form, (because it did not exist). If they treat me this way without signing with them, how horrible it would have been if I had?!I had no idea that trying to find a new car could be so horrible. I will never go back, I will never reccomend this company. I urge everyone to stay away from Gladstone Toyota.

Although I went through USAA for a price quote, everyone there was very friendly and helpful. They were not pushy, like some other dealerships that we went through before this one. They got the car ready, cleaned it out washed it and drove it inside until we were ready to go. We got financing through them and got us the best deal they could.

We own two Toyota's, a Highlander and a Prius. Jenny has been our service team manager for both of these vehicles. Jenny goes the extra to make sure that we are satified with the service and the workmanship. We have gotten to know her and we look forward to her "upbeat" and "can do" attitude. She remembers not only the vehicle questions discussed at our last auto service, but personal comments from my last service. This is a personal touch that means a lot, and I will always return to this dealership for service because I know the Toyota of Gladstone staff cares. Jenny has taught me that. Thank for such great service, and I would recommend anyone to try Gladstone Toyota's service department. All of the Service team projects that they appreciate the organization and take pride in their jobs as Jenny does.

Right off the bat, the dealership was welcoming. Duy Dang, the salesman that was highly referred by my friend that bought a car from him the previous month, sold me my new 2010 black camry. He was professional and very knowledgeable on all the cars that were within our budget. I very much would recommend this dealership, as well as Duy Dang for anybody's next car purchase. I love my new camry. Everyone was friendly and not pushy at all.

I was greeted very nicely by Adel as I was looking for a new car. I received the services I expected. Shawn was very helpful in helping me get the infomation needed to make a decision on my purchase. I appreciate the excellent service provided by both Adel and Shawn. And will refer any friends/family that may be looking for a new automobile from Toyota of Gladstone.

Peggy is always very sympathetic and understanding and doesn't try to oversell anything that I don't need or can't afford, being a broke college student, I can't afford to give my car the love it really needs, but at least I try to keep up on my oil changes. I will probably always go back to Toyota of Gladstone as long as I live in the area because I know I can get good customer service with out the salesman attitude!

I want to take this opportunity to pass on my compliments and highest praise for Jay Tuffli and Dave Walton. The two of them made the whole car buying experience a real pleasure from beginning to end. This is the first time car buying has ever been pleasant; I usually dread the thought of shopping for a car. I also appreciated the Costco car buying program, which is the whole reason I came to Toyota of Gladstone in the first place. The program contributed to making the whole experience easier. My daughter came with me both times I was up there, and she was so impressed with the whole experience that she said next time she wants to buy a car she will go to Toyota of Gladstone. Again, I want to extend special thanks to Jay. I love my new RAV4!

I truly enjoyed my experience with Gladstone Toyota. Sadly I arrived early that morning to consider the options of trading in my good o'l H2. I was straight up with my salesman explaining that I was just considering the options. I was impressed at how well he worked with me to find the best option for me without being pushy. Jeff Karlin and his co-workers went above and beyond that day leaving me with my best experience at a car lot. You guys rock! Oh and by the way you've earned back lost respect for the old Thomason Toyota. Been there done that and they sucked. Thanks Gladstone Toyota!Nate

Friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Got the car I wanted with the guidance I needed. Sales person was very patient and helped us with true salesmanship skills rather than passive aggressive quick sale techniques you see at other stealerships. Satisfied customer here.

This is the 3ed car I have bought from the dealership. My salesperson Duy Dang has been most helpful in getting me the vehicals I wanted. His approach is low key and never pushy but always there to answer your questions. He takes a personal interest to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase during and after the sale or just looking around and trying to decide what you want. The service dept people are also great,If you need something changed they let you know and they also tell you, (you don't need to do that this soon ) So many things last longer now on these new cars. Overall this is the best car dealership I have ever been to. All the sales people and managers have been very pleasent to deal with and have my highest recomendation.

Everyone in the sales and service go beyond to be help full. Especial Jenny Rhodes and Peggy Maben. The girls are very efficient and very help full every time I have been in the service dept. I bought a Rava4 2008 so I have been in for regular service for my car, and the people are always happy to great me with a smile and address my concerns. I stopped by Monday at 5:50 and was greeted with a smile, I was there to get my vanity light looked at and they got right on it to replace the bulb, and I was on my way! GREAT SERVICE EVERY TIME!!

I have been very happy with this dealership because of Jenny. She always takes time to explain what could be done and then what needs to be done. She breaks it down so I can do it little by little when it fits in my budget.Its the first time when I have work done I on my car I can feel like I can trust whats going on. I have been other places and travel past other dealers to come here. I will always take my car there and recomend that to everyone.

My wife Mai Nguyen and I Minh Pham came into Oregon's Toyota of Gladstone dealership on a mission to see if we could get out of our lease on our 2007 Toyota Tundra. We knew Duy Dang from our previous visit whom he leased us this 2007 Tundra to us. Our lease was ending plus we had exceeded the milage on the lease offer. Going into the dealership not knowing what was going to happen, Duy took the time to go through and give us all our options. At first it didn't look good because if we were to keep the truck and return it at the end of the lease we would have had to pay $4,000. One of our other options was to see if we could work out a deal on leasing a new Tundra. We then looked for a truck that had to meet our needs, but they did not have the one we wanted at his dealership. Duy then looke up what we wanted in the computer and found our match at another dealership. In the end he was able to work out a deal with the other dealship and bring the truck we wanted over to his place. Duy was able to put together an option and worked with his manager and approached us with a deal that we couldn't refuse. Today my wife and I are proud owners of a 2010 Toyota Tundra Crew Max. The car buying experience was very pleasant and my wife and I will definately come back again in the future. And recommend our family members.

Over the years of buying several different makes of vehicles from several different dealerships, I was, frankly, dreading having to buy any car from any dealer. We had to purchase a vehicle though and Gladstone Preowned came highly recommended. It was with trepidation that I accompanied my husband to the dealership yesterday but we trusted the person who recommended you very much. It's my great pleasure to say, this was the nicest, no-nonsense, straightforward and pleasurable car purchase we've ever made! There was none of the 'usual' salesman routine. In fact, it's clear Gladstone does not consider hard sales usual in any way. We were treated with respect and never pushed at. We looked at a 2000 Toyota Sienna. We were allowed to drive the vehicle as far as we wanted, where we wanted and there was no sales pitch during the drive. The van handled beautifully. We'd done quite a bit of investigation prior to going to Gladstone Preowned and had a good idea of what we were looking for before arriving. Mohamed and Josh met our every need and were genuinely glad to do so. We bought the van and the purchase was not stressful whatsoever. When we arrived home we had a call from our daughter who needed a vehicle so I called Josh and made arrangements to go back today. We let him know what she was in the market for and he had three in mind before we arrived. Mohamed was our sales person once more, much to our delight. We test drove three models then to make a final choice we drove two of them a second time. Once again we had a remarkable experience. No pushing, none of what we've dealt with in the past in regards to the salesman patter. It just does not exist at this dealership. After deciding on the car, Josh helped her get set up with car insurance and the insurance agent even came to the dealership to take care of the paperwork. For both car purchases we dealt with Jamshid in the financial department. He too was straight-forward and no-nonsense, taking care of us just as Josh and Mohamed had done, totally delightful to work with.We are extremely pleased with the level of professionalism and respect that everyone at Gladstone showed us during these two transactions. Gladstone Preowned showed me that buying a car does not have to be something to dread and in fact can be (and was) a very enjoyable experience. As soon as the car I currently drive is paid off this year, I'm headed back to see Josh and Mohamed to replace it. Thank you, Josh and Mohamed, for changing my mind about car salesmen and dealerships. I now have one I can trust and recommend with no hesitation whatsoever. Yesterday I really did not want to do the whole "car thing" but you both made the event something so drastically different from past experiences that when I knew we were coming back today, I was actually excited to do so. My daughter commented on the treatment she received from you as well and said she'd be back to you specifically to buy her next car too. Thank you for giving us a place we can consider a dealership for our entire family. We can't give you a higher accolade than that and you earned it fair and square. We'll not only be seeing you again but will be recommending you to anyone who needs a vehicle. Best to all of you in 2010!

After 45 years of buying cars, these guys finally made the process simple and efficient. I came to the dealer through the web, and was sent directly to one salesperson. Other dealers, similarly contacted, developed into a food fight of various salespeople all contacting me at once (obvously a dealer to avoid since the salesperson, not the customer, was the focus). I knew what I wanted so the search became one of availablity/price. All the dealers quoted the same percentage discount on price, and Gladstone had the only matching vehicle on the West Coast, so we made the deal.Jon Stolz was patient, competent and straightforward. His goal was to keep me happy and not push. This was very refreshingly different from previous purchases, and it made me comfortable with the salesman and the dealer. The F&I fellow sold me the extended vehicle coverage, but after reading the terms and conditions, I cancelled it (without any hassle from the dealer). The facillity was clean and well organized, and the staff very social, which suggested they liked their jobs and the organization.All in all, a positive experience and a professional organization.

I have purchased alot of cars over the years. I just purcased 2 recently at Toyota of Gladstone. An FJ Cruiser and a Corolla. I have never been treated so well. I got the exact car that I wanted with the extra equipment added that I wanted. The transaction was very easy and it was completed quickly. I am very happy with the FJ. I was looking for the right equipment and they pointed me in the right direction with the off road package. Everyone there was very helpful. Jon did a great and so did the rest of the staff. I was most impressed when my new car was on the showroom floor when I was done signing the papers and everyone was working on wiping it down. I was real impressed.

I was impressed with Jon's honesty and follow up. I had gone to Gladstone and started with their Internet site after a disappointing experience at Broadway Toyota.I was an informed buyer and had done my research. Jon worked hard to get me the car I wanted that was originally headed to another dealer in Southern Oregon.I felt he respected my intelligence and was a "straight shooter" in our negotiations.The process of buying our car was a good one. I would recommend this dealership

The entire transaction was simple and efficient and Seth was quite helpful. I am very busy and we were able to get most of the transaction complete with e-mail correspondence. I prefer this method of sales and will do my next transaction the same way.

I worked with Seth initially through email, discussing what terms I was looking for and what kind of car I wanted. First, I found him extremely responsive -- no email "auto responses" common from other non-net savvy dealerships. It was a direct series of emails, quick and responsive to every question. He was professional, honest and to the point. No pressure, just information. We agreed on price. I came to the lot and met Seth. Again, not anything like the stereotypical salesman. Patient -- even encouraged a car with less options since he knew I was cost-sensitive though I stuck with the LE version (OK, maybe I do like the power seats after all). There was no up-selling (obviously the business manager was going to discuss extended warranties but with no pressure applied and I was offered chip protection, etc.). The deal we struck was exactly what we agreed to. We had to work on the trade-in but that was expected beforehand -- I had a 15 year old beater that had been in a side-door accident, so I knew we'd have to work on it. I got the mandatory "visit to the manager" about the trade-in (not the agreed to price of the auto), but Seth came out several times to apologize for the wait and explain what was going on and I was extremely satisfied with the final deal. I'm a business owner and no stranger to sales myself and I must say that my experience with Seth and others was very positive. I believe in honesty, being straight forward and keeping one's word in a business negotiation. And Seth came through with flying colors. I got the tour of the entire business and I must say they had the cleanest repair shop I've ever seen. Best experience I ever had buying a new car.

Toyota of Gladstone was great! They were very friendly and helped me get the truck I have always wanted. It was very easy to contact them through e-mail to work out some of the details before even going to the dealership. Then going over the paperwork and working with the people there was easy and not stressfull. I recommend going to Toyota of Gladstone for the best service to get the vehicle you want!

This is our second new Prius from Gladstone in 2 years. We've purchased these cars to drive out of state and were very cautious about trusting the dealer and the sales reps.The dealership and both sales reps provided excellent service and followup. The recent sales rep, Mr. Duy Dang, returned phone calls and e-mails quickly. He was trustworthy and there was no confusion during the negotiation period. I am a Costco customer and even though the 2010 Prius wasn't part part of Costco "approved" list, the dealer worked with those prices and we were very pleased. I was able to charge the deposit and they worked with me on a proper sales agreement.The new cars were both in excellent condition when received. The sales rep followed up AFTER the sale several times to ensure that we were pleased with this most recent purchase.I'd highly recommend this dealer and particularly the sales rep.

Dear Toyota Company,Mr. Duy Dang is a great sells man. He is very postive and honest. He is very friendly. He trys his best to give us our best possible price for a car. At first we ask to take few dollars off on a car we want. He said not possible in this economy. We ask why and stuff. We really need a cut off on the car's price. So he decide to go in and talk to the manager. The mangager and him talked for a while. Finally they decide to take the cut off on price. My family and I were very happy of the customer service, and the car's price. Mr. Duy Dang is a friendly, nice, helpful man.

From the outset, Seth pursued my business in an efficient and proficient manner. He was appropriately aggressive, but not over bearing. He was willing to work hard and be patient. He and Scott put enough time in to make me feel that the dealership was interested in our business. Even though we could not come to agreement initially, Seth continued to present himself and finally, made an offer that we accepted. I believe the offer met our interests, but was also reasonable enough for the dealership. The service delivered at the time I picked up the new ride was fantastic. Again, it was efficient, only told me what I wanted/needed to know and understood my circumstances. I would definitely look to Toyota of Gladstone again, and particularly Seth, for my next Toyota buying experience.

Seth went above and beyond in helping us select our new car. He also worked hard to get the most for our trade. I do not think you can ever be totally satisfied with what you get for your trade, but Seth definitely made it more than tolerable. His friendly nature is more than genuine and his customer service is above reproach. All of the employees of Gladstone were courteous and friendly. It was well worth the drive to Gladstone! I will take this forum to personally thank Seth for making our car buying experience pleasant. I will recommend Gladstone to all of my friends, and I hope to return soon for a new truck!

The experience my wife and I had shopping for our new truck at Gladstone could not have been better, after a disappointing visit to Broadway Toyota we found the team at Gladstone very easy to work with. These guys found us the truck we wanted with the features that mattered most to us, the price was fair, as was the value given to us on our trade in.

Gladstone Toyota has a very friendly staff - straight forward with no haggling - no pushing, no attempts to sell us something we didn't want - just a fair presentation of the options that were available from the dealer. Honest and efficient. The finance manager (I can't remember his name) was very congenial and helpful. A close facsimile of the car we wanted was in stock at a reasonable price and we received a good interest rate on financing through Toyota instead of paying cash or going to our own bank for a loan. The car was prepped and ready to go fairly quickly after we decided to purchase it, so we were able to drive off the lot in record time. Even though we had bought another Toyota from one of Gladstone Toyota's competitors just a month before, there was no trash talking the competition or any attempts to make their dealership look any better. The bottom line is that we feel we were treated fairly and honestly and we are satisfied with the purchase experience and the car we bought.

Our first visit, Nidal was very pushy. We have negotiated for 3 hours. In the middle of negotiating, I had brought up, why another Toyota dealership, Toyota Wilsonville is selling the same exact car for $4000 cheaper. Because they are rivals, he said very unprofessionally that something is wrong with their cars. He guarantees 5000% that there is something wrong with their cars.I have worked with Toyota Wilsonville and they were real easy to work with and tried to help me out and give me the best prices. In the end, I wanted to go with someone who gave me the best price. I called Sean Overton and told him I was going to get the car elsewhere. To make a long story short, I told him this is the price I want for the car, accessories and warranty. He told me he was going to talk to some people and then get back to me if they could meet the price. He called back shortly and said yes they can meet the price and we made an appt. He said if it went $1 over, he would pay for it. That was the deal.The day we were to pick the car up and pay for it, somehow the price ended up being over $2279 more. Sean Overton said that he had briefed Sean Kim about the warranty the day I spoke with him verbally agreeing on the price.Sean Overton did not pay the $2279 as he said he would pay. A week after our purchase, Sean Overton sent us a Courtesy Email seeing how we were doing. I wrote back to him how unhappy I was and that I felt I was lied to to get me into the dealership. He didn't receive the email until 3 weeks later when I called him and he was reading it on the phone while I was on the phone with him. He said he would forward the email to Rich, manager. A week or so has gone by and I haven't heard from Rich. I then emailed him myself just to clarify things. It's been at least 2 weeks and have not heard back from him either.Lesson: If they verbally tell you over the phone the price quote agreed upon, have someone from your side of the party to witness the quote and have another person on the car dealer side to also witness the price quote given over the phone.

We showed up at this dealership on a referral from Costco. Seth greeted us and handed us off to John. John introduced us to Joe who was to work with us on our possible purchase. Joe immediately took us to the vehicle we were interested in. He was respectul, cordial and answered all of our questions. After the drive, we realized this was the car we wanted (Toyota Highlander Hybrid). We sat down with John and Joe, and worked out a deal in less than 10 minutes. My wife had to get to a hair appointment and they let us take the vehicle, and return to take care of the paperwork. Joe took care of everything for us. Even took my wife to get a late lunch while I went to pick up the kids from their Grandparents house. The car was prepped, and driven into the show room. Joe helped me with the final inspection of the vehicle, and sent us on our way with a beautiful new car. I can't tell you how satisfied I was with this car purchasing experience. No pain - no disrespect - no difficulties - the opposite of what I have experienced with most every other car purchase I have made. I asked Joe for some of his business cards so that I could pass them on to any friends or colleagues who might be looking for a Toyota, confident that my referral would be a positive experience for anyone I send to Joe. Thanks Joe, John and Seth.

Toyota of Gladstone's "incredible three" have truly made me a customer for life. It's easy to feel good about a new car buying experience when your budget is roomy and your options are endless. However, it is the mark of an exceptional dealership, and extraordinarily professional and caring professionals, that I was able to feel better about buying a "new to me" auto on my tiny budget than any new car experience I've ever had! Sales executive Sean Overton, manager Scott Caverhill and service manager Jake Steele are committed to giving their customers the best experience possible. Thanks to them, I have a car I am thrilled with, at a price I can afford, and have seen first hand that they stand behind the automobiles they sell. Because of this, I am a customer for life, and would be happy to refer anybody I know to their dealership with complete confidence. Sean worked hard to find the best possible car for me on my (very miniscule) budget. Even though this star performer had multiple customers (of course, who wouldn't want to work this ethical and positive person) he went out of his way to work with me. He came in on his day off, followed up by phone and gave me the VIP treatment that he no doubt gives to each and every one of his customers. Manager Scott Caverhill clearly sets the pace for his entire team, as he was cheerful, patient (uhhmmmm...I was a bit of a nervous shopper)and extremely knowledgeable. Clear to see why Toyota of Gladstone enjoys such stellar ratings with a manager like Scott setting the pace. He is extremely positive and made the car buying experience stress-free and enjoyable. Finally, the true test of a dealership is what happens if something goes 'wrong.' While not serious, my "new to me" car needed a repair. The service here was just as outstanding as the sales process. Jake Steele, the professional in charge of the service team caring for my car, got my auto in quickly, arranged for alternate transportation for me, kept me updated on status and was knowledgeable, reassuring and thorough (by the way, he truly loves and knows cars - ask him about his own classic that he drives!) Having researched numerous other dealerships, I will tell you that finding, and working with, the "incredible three" of Toyota of Gladstone has been fantastic, and I would recommend them to anybody who wants terrific, positive and caring people helping them find that "just right" new (or new to them) car. Just think of them as the super heroes of the car world...without the goofy costumes ;-)

Jon & Rich were most helpful and responded politely to all my questions and concerns. When other dealers ranged from plain rude to unavailable or unconcerned, Jon and the entire dealership shined through. This is a quality operation with an attention to detail and customer satisfaction that I have found is very hard to find among most of the metro Portland Toyota and Ford dealers that I contacted.I am a VERY satisfied customer.

It would take a long time to write out my entire experience, so I will keep it simple.I was shopping around for a 2009 Tacoma. I contacted several different dealers trying to find the best price and eventually decided to drive up to Portland to meet with Chris from Broadway Toyota. He tried to pull some of the oldest car salesmen tricks in the book which irritated me since we'd been there for more than an hour (we = me and my 8 month pregnant wife). In my conversation with him, I found out that he did a dealer trade with Toyota of Gladstone (who he said was difficult to work with). After Chris and I argued back and forth about who said what and how the deal had changed, my wife and I left Broadway Toyota.On the road, I called Toyota of Gladstone and spoke with Seth Dustin. I made an offer ($200 less than my offer to Broadway Toyota by the way), and not only did he agree, but he threw in a VIP package, a free service, and he put me in contact with Sean who saved me over $600 in interest. There was no compromise involved, I got the exact truck that I wanted for a lower price and a lower interest rate from Toyota of Gladstone (no arguing, no hassle). Seth and Sean were very easy to work with and they even took the time to explain all of the truck's features before we drove off (which was about half an hour after they closed). I really cannot say anything bad about Toyota of Gladstone, in fact, I've already referred a friend of mine who's also looking for a Tacoma (yep, Broadway Toyota ... you've lost two customers and counting).

I give Toyota of Gladstone excellent ratings. They really care about customer service and are concerned about the customer being completely satisfied with the product and the service. The experience from the sales department to the parts and service departments has been very good. I would return to this dealership to purchase another car.

E-mail pricing caught my eye. Went to other dealerships to compare. They were not informative nor had much knowledge. Gladstone had a large inventory which was of interest even though I chose a car that was out of state. Both guys were very helpful, knowlegeable. If they didn't have the answers they got it. I felt the pricing was fair.

This was absolutely the BEST experience I have had buying a car alone OR with my husband. It was easy, fast, comfortable and non-discrimatory (I'm a woman, shopping alone this time). Seth Dustin was fabulous. I'm extremely delighted with this dealership and the fact that they are far away from our home, and still choosing it, I think says a lot.Thank you,Carol Murphy

This was the best car dealership and we will recommend Seth and the rest of the crew again and again. They were fair, honest and friendly every step of the way. We drove 300 miles to buy this car from Gladstone Toyota and it was definitely worth it. This dealership went above and beyond what I have seen any dealership do.

I wasn't sure exactly what features I wanted in a new truck when I first went into Gladstone Toyota. Salesman Jason Braun was very friendly, helpful and positive in working with me to sort out my priorities and then making the deal work for my new Toyota Tacoma. I couldn't be happier.

Seath was outstanding in all aspects of this sale. He worked with me via email from Afghanistan to get me just the right truck for the best price. Once I arrived from deployment Seth did everything to make sure I only had to make one trip from Fort Lewis, WA to his dealership in OR. I would highly recommend Seth to anyone interested in a great deal!

Best car buying experience ever. Everything was taken care of over the internet. I emailed dealers in three states looking for the exact car at the exact price I wanted. Toyota of Gladstone was among five dealers that responded with what I wanted.In the end what sold me on Toyota of Gladstone was they did everything they could to sell me the car that I wanted not the car they wanted to sell me. The other dealers were always trying to sell me a different model and/or to buy extras I did not want.I drove 5 1/2 hours to purchase a 2009 Toyota Corolla sight unseen from Toyota of Gladstone. I did not even take the car for a test drive. Their internet salesman Seth Dustin asked me what I needed and he had it waiting for me exactly as ordered.I purchased this vehicle for my son who is going to college. He was out of town so they got the paperwork to him to sign, Their customer service and financing department are awesome. I was treated as if I was their only customer whenever I had contact with them. Even after the sale was complete they make sure you are happy.My family and I will purchase all of our future vehicles from Toyota of Gladstone.

I went in to have the battery changed in my Prius key and asked the Parts guys how much a new Prius was. They didn't know, but within half a minute a fellow from Scion sales, Phil Rabibi, walked up to tell them something related to another customer. The parts guys indicated that Phil could answer my question, so I asked. He was WONDERFUL. Answered my questions without any sales B.S. and gave me his card. His approach, respect toward me and providing the information I wanted, impressed me so much that I returned 5 hours later (on my way home) and asked to see one of the new Prius'. (His approach and genuineness had already predisposed me to purchase that day with HIM.) He brought in the very honest and nice man from Tunisia who bargained fairly for the value of my trade in and we agreed on a price. This gentleman did not realize I still owed $1800 on my trade in, and although I am a business person, I did not realize that that amount comes off the agreed upon trade in value. I found this out when I sat with Sean from finance. I didn't feel good about the trade in value, but the rest of the transaction went very well. I was never pressured to purchase anything at all. I was OFFERED various insurance and other products, but when I said no... the subject was never brought up again. NO HARD SELL AT ALL. I asked for and got a very good interest rate commensurate with my credit score and creidt history. I had a headache through out the afternoon (not their fault at all, I came in with it) and Sean explained somethings to me several times and in different ways until I had a clear understanding. I signed the docs and went home in my new car. Over the weekend the misunderstanding about the value of my trade in was still bothering me, so I called Sean and he set up a meeting with Rich, one of the managers, for Monday. I called him, explained my discomfort and he made up the difference on what I thought my car was worth as a trade in. NO BODY DOES THIS! I fully expected at some point in the conversation to be told: you signed the deal lady, live with it. This never happened; actually quite the opposite. He understood my discomfort, made sure no deception was involved by anyone on his staff, and forwarded a check to the lender for the disputed amount. He then sent me a fax copy of this payment. EVERYONE SHOULD SHOP FOR CARS HERE! I THOUGHT IT WAS A SALES TACTIC WHEN THEY SAID MY SATISFACTION WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS DEAL. IT WASN'T A SALES TACTIC, IT WAS THE TRUTH. THEY PUT THEIR MONEY BEHIND THEIR WORDS AND I AM AMAZED AND TOTALLY IMPRESSED.

Had a wonderful experience at Gladstone Toyota. I went with my wife and son on a Sunday afternoon to look for a Toyota Venza, Phil Habibi (the salesman) greeted us with a big smile; and this was on a 4th July weekend when most people would like to take time off. Phil was very friendly, asked me what i am looking for, and showed me exactly the cars i wanted to test drive. However the color and accessories i wanted was not in any of the cars in the lot. So he went to Allen Mezghiche and he came back with what i wanted, with a glitch it has to be shipped/ drove in to the dealership, since it was not in the lot. I had to discuss the price and options with the floor manager (Naveed) (which was not exactly smooth), but Allen Mezghiche was very resourceful, flexible, open and we arranged on a good deal. I liked his professional handling of the situation and meeting customer expectation. Within 24 hrs Phil gave me a call (he actually been in touch with me) and told me when the car would be coming in and ready to drive out. The paperwork process was smooth too. I went in next day and Phil was ready with the car. My wife loved the experience with the sales dept, Phil even helped taking the baby stroller in and out all the time, no pressure of selling this or that, just tell them what you want and they will try their best. One general advice for customers, go in knowing exactly what you want, price, options, financing, warranties etc. Overall i am very satisfied with the process, very family friendly, would highly recommend going to Gladstone Toyota and ask for Phil Habibi.

i have not dealt with the sales dept. of this dealership, but the service department is the best! even the person on the phone who made the appointment was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. the shop is clean and welcoming. i came to gladstone because another dealership (broadway toyota) was trying to swindle me- they said that my engine was shot and i needed to trade in my car for "one on their lot". i obviously wanted a second opinion, and the gladstone toyota service department came through with flying colors. i was given in writing a full and thorough explanation of everything that would be done to my 2000 celica for its 60,000-mile tune-up before anything was done. Skye made me feel appreciated and took his time to let me decide what my options were. they gave me a loaner car for FREE while the service was done, which Tiffany took care of in the most cheerful and personable way, making sure i would be driving a vehicle which would suit me. she was terrific. Skye called me during the course of the service to let me know how things were going, and when he diagnosed the loose timing chain (which broadway toyota said would cost $6000-$9000 to fix, unless i traded it in), he quoted a repair of $746, in writing, and with an honest assessment of how soon it needed to be taken care of. the car was ready to be picked up at the promised time and was spotless inside and out. all in all, it was an excellent experience. it is a long way for me to get there (45 minutes one way), and they are probably not the cheapest in town, but the overall professionalism and regard shown by everyone i had contact with was well worth the drive and every penny. they offered a complete and itemized list of all that was done, and a year's warranty on all parts and labor. i didn't tell them anything about my experience with broadway toyota, so they had nothing to prove to me other than their own professionalism and honesty. what a great shop.

Charged more than the quote because my Toyota Tacoma takes a little extra oil. A Toyota dealership should know how much oil a Tacoma takes. They charged more than $30 dollars extra.

I have no expeirence with the purchasing side of this dealership. My service experience has been the best I've ever encountered. <br><br>Mike Mitchell, the service manager, and Rusty, the mechanic, nearly adopted my car. They made it their own and took terrific, personal interest in repairing it. I feel that I've recieved more than just a repaired car - I think I've made two new friends!<br><br>I only wish Toyota would make regional service centers seperate from their dealerships. With gentlement like Mike and Rusty, such terrific service would guarantee brand loyalty better than any price incentive.<br><br>
