    Bought a new 2024 Toyota Corolla LE here on 2 miles on September 7, 2024. A sincere thanks to Peter and Sarah who helped me through the process back then. A $500.00 deposit was required to secure the new vehicle while it was in transit on the way to the site. I did buy Checkered Flag Vehicle Service Contract at "Platinum Coverage" which was roughly an additional $3,000 added to the price tag for peace of mind. Besides waiting, did not really experience any negative issues throughout the buying process. When the vehicle arrived, I did not see any transit damage and it drove very well with no issues. All in all, at the end of the day, I was a satisfied customer there. Although the price was higher than desired, it is understandable for them to make money somehow.

    My daughter was shopping for a new car, so we started here at Checkered Flag. When we got there she already knew what she wanted. The car salesman had her test drive the car within 10 minutes of arriving. Alot of the cars there were hybrids. Which seems nice, but the batteries on hybrid cars are expensive to replace. For the Corolla it's about $6000. So I talked her out of it. It sounds great until you need one. There was only one car available with what she was looking for. They did have the option to build your car and wait a few weeks for it to be delivered. The salesman was nice, and it wasn't a haggling situation. He told us the price is the price, no negotiations. Which put us at ease. The sales aren't commission based, so we didn't feel pressured. The cars come with "free" oil changes and inspections. There are different packages like adding a clear coat to your car, an extended warranty for the engine and transmission, and coverage for dings. We went inside to do the paperwork. The inside is clean with a seating area that has a TV, and free coffee and water. In the past buying a car has taken 4-6 hours at other dealerships. But he had us in and out in about 3 hours. The transaction was pretty smooth. They cleaned the car up and filled it with gas, and we were on our way. I do wish we could have negotiated a 5-10% discount, but my daughter wasn't as pressed as I was. If you're military they offer some rebates. The Toyota's seem very reliable, good on gas, and trendy. The Highlander and Camry were really nice inside and out. If I purchase another car, I'd come back. Check them out!!!

    Though they didn't have what I wanted ( Toyota GrandHighlander ), the overall experience was good. Nice Store, excellent customer service and outstanding bathroom area.

    My husband took his brand new tundra in to Checkered Flag Toyota for its first service. Truck was returned to him with loose nut logs and wheels that were not aligned. Every wheel had something wrong with it. Service manager offered to fill up his gas tank for his troubles. He asked to speak to the general manager, manager was gone for the day (appointment was at 1:45pm). General manager was supposed to call him and never did, it has been a week since this appointment and the most Checkered Flag Toyota has done is reply to my husbands review of the business with a "we acknowledge your review". Returning a vehicle with loose tire is not only unacceptable, and on top of that, there is no regard towards the customers safety. Extremely dissatisfied with service AND dealership management. Sad excuse for management replies to "reach out to them when they should be the ones reaching out to the customer. We have reached out- no answer.

    I'll start this review by saying this is the worst time to buy a car, but let's face it, it's not a good time to buy anything right now! With shortages of anything and everything from disinfecting wipes to houses, computer chips for cars are yet another item on this long list of shortages. My trusty Mazda was still going strong and had been reliable for the past 10 years. I wasn't planning to purchase a car anytime soon, especially during these crazy times, but that all changed a few months ago when I got into a car accident and the car was totaled. I started calling around and even submitted an inquiry for the Costco auto buying program (brace yourself if you do this, because your phone will start buzzing non stop and your inbox flooded, but my bad. I should have expected that). Once I got over the barrage of calls and emails, I decided to call Checkered Flag Toyota (CFT) (because what's one more dealership lol) since they didn't come up in the list of participating dealerships. James McKee is your guy! Out of all the places that I called including the Costco Auto Program participants, CFT & James seemed to be the only ones that seemed genuinely interested in helping me find the car I was looking for. Also, most competitive in pricing. CFT has a different pricing model, what they call a no haggle policy. The price is the price and there is no negotiating. They offer you the best price and sales people are on a different commission structure than the traditional dealerships so they are really not driven to push sales of higher price tags. I compared quotes from different dealerships and I'm not talking a couple hundred dollar difference. Due to the current state of the market and shortages, it took almost 3 months to finally get my car (partially because I was waiting for the 2022s . It arrived last week!!!! Eeeeeek, so excited! Things to note: *Initially, I was considering buying a used car, but prices are so high that a 1-2 yr old car for the same model is almost the same price as a new one. This means, this is the best time to trade in your car, dealerships will give you top dollar. *If you want a new car, 2022s of any model, you'll most likely have to put down a deposit to secure yourself a car. All cars that usually arrive these days already have someone's name on it. Don't worry though, you have 48hrs to decide whether you like it mor not and if you change your mind, they refund your deposit. *They offer a military discount *Check for Toyota manufacturers rebates *If you finance with them, you could qualify for the-rebate for that too. It remains to b seen how the service department will stay consistent to the customer service that I received from the Sales Dept, but so far so good! Stay safe, Friends!

I drove 3 and a half hours to get there and immediately I could tell my happiness truly was their priority and they care about their customers. The other two associates were also incredibly friendly and helpful when walking me through the actual buying process. They made sure I was all set before making my drive home by making sure I had a full sized spare tire, when I brought up my concern that there was no front license plate mount they instantly took action to make sure it was fixed for me, and a full tank of gas! I went home with an amazing car and an even better experience. Thank you so much!

A vehicle should not be falling apart this soon after purchase. I returned to the dealership expecting them to stand behind what they sold. Instead, I was met by my salesperson, John, and the head of sales, who told me, "Dang, that sucks. The 30 days are up. There's nothing we can do for you." That response alone says everything about how this dealership treats customers after the sale. Rather than taking responsibility or offering a reasonable solution, they tried to roll my negative equity into another vehicle. When that wasn't possible because of the financing they had already put me into, I was told I would need either a co-signer or a $5,000 down payment. In other words, after selling me a vehicle with serious issues, their solution was for me to take on even more debt. If you're an active-duty service member or veteran, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. If you're looking for a Chevrolet, it's worth the drive to Casey Chevrolet instead. My experience was that once the paperwork was signed and the return period had passed, customer service ended. I cannot recommend this dealership based on how my concerns were handled.

For me, every time I have come here has been an amazing, gracious experience. I was sold my car by the dapper C.J. Morris, who is a man that keeps things real. Each time I came in afterward he recognizes me and shakes my hand. Drivers World has a good policy of "price as marked" with no haggling, since their prices are already low. I don't know about that across the board, but my 2010 Hyundai Accent was a great deal. I have had two issue happen with my car since its purchase. The first was when my spare key came in from the Hyundai Mother Ship. We tried it out and it got stuck in the ignition! Samantha, in their service dept., immediately got me a rental and called a locksmith to look at it the next day. My car was fixed up that next day too, the locksmith had to re-cut part of the key. My second issue was when my car suddenly didn't start one day after work. I took a panicked trip in the tow truck to Drivers World where they got me a loaner car that night. They called me in the morning and told me it was the starter. I returned my loaner and they got me a rental; a few days later I picked up my car from Checkered Flag Hyundai. So far, everything has been covered and I always get treated nice there. I had a great buying experience and their awesome service has continued. Hopefully all my visits will be this good.

The only negative thing that I have to say about the experience is that I had asked when we sat down for the loan what percentage the rates started at. We were told they started at 5.25%. My sister has good credit so I wasn't expecting her payment to fall in a much higher percentage bucket. We were good with the price of the vehicle, and the warranty that she added on. However, and this is a big however, until we were signing the documents, did we see for the first time that the loan she was being given was at over 14% APR. This is absolutely ridiculous and unheard of for somebody who has good credit. We wasted no time going over to Navy Federal and securing her a proper loan at a reasonable rate. The amount that Carmax was trying to charge her in interest was more than half of what the vehicle cost with the add-ons. Let that sink in. Do not sign blindly and make sure you understand what you would be paying in interest. I highly recommend getting pre-approved elsewhere for a loan first and not using their financing. You have three days to get a loan elsewhere and have it changed over, but I would suggest making sure you're eligible before you go car broke. We didn't see any of that until half way through signing the contract. Kind of crazy!
