    Absolutely DO NOT buy from Key Auto Center. Less than a year ago, I bought a 2011 Chevy Colorado from them, and it's been a nightmare ever since. About two weeks after I got it, I had a fuel leak because the tank was puncture. I found out so late because that's when I did a full tank of gas.Then the check engine light went on a month after. Last weekend, the front differential failed out of nowhere. I spent $500 on towing alone, only to visit two different mechanics who both told me the same thing: the truck is completely unsafe. Turns out, the entire frame is rusted to the point where it can't even be placed on a lift -- it would literally crumble. One mechanic flat-out told me this truck should have never been on a lot for sale in the first place. That's not just shady -- it's dangerous. I've driven friends and family in that truck. I've hauled my motorcycle in the bed. Knowing now how unsafe it was the entire time makes me absolutely furious. This dealership is unethical, unsafe, and clearly only interested in one thing: your money. If you care at all about your safety or the safety of anyone around you, stay far away from Key Auto Center. I'll be posting photos so others can see just how bad it really is.

    I have bought 2 cars from them. Mehmet was both friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended. It was truly a pleasure working with the whole team!

    wonderfully deal no any issues i get the car from Key auto Center almost 10 months , No any problem nothing thank you

    Rusted frame on a car they sold me--legally considered salvage.

    *FRAUD* Despite MANY assurances, verbally and in writing, that the car was inspected, when I took it to the mechanic, they couldn't even get it on a lift because the entire frame was rusted out. It would have literally broken in half. Unfortunately, I only found this out after purchasing the vehicle. The car is not safe to drive. It is legally considered a salvage vehicle. The value of the car for scrap is less than the cost to tow it.

    I purchased a car from them and they made promises that they did not keep. I would never buy from them again

    Wide range of American cars. Based on my research they have the best price in town. Friendly staff and smooth transaction.

    My wife and I purchased a new 2026 Toyota Crown Signia Limited hybrid SUV and Finance & Insurance…read more("F&I") products from Marietta Toyota on July 4, 2026. Overall, I rate the car buying experience with Marietta Toyota good, not great. If you're interested in how our experience went, keep reading. This review is divided into 3 parts over 2 separate visits. *** VISIT 1 OF 2 ON JULY 3, 2026 *** Duration: Less than 2 hours Part 1 of 3: Test Drive with Sales Consultant Brianna "Bri" Walters We called and made an appointment to test drive a new 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The on-site call center associate, Rachel Eve, said they would try to find one for us to test drive. She was nice. When we showed up in person for our appointment, there was none for us to look at. We did look at a used 2023 Highlander and a new 2026 Grand Highlander, and decided they weren't for us. Marietta Toyota just happened to get a 2026 Crown Signia Limited in, so we test drove that instead. My wife liked it. Our sales consultant Bri was great throughout the entire process. She's been at Marietta Toyota for about 2.5 years. She was really nice, very professional, and not pushy. *** VISIT 2 OF 2 ON JULY 4, 2026 *** Duration: About 3.5 hours Part 2 of 3: Trade-in and Price Negotiation with Sales Manager Tyler Elliott We brought my wife's 2010 Toyota Corolla LE in for trade-in valuation and to get a final price from sales manager Tyler. Tyler is new to Marietta Toyota. He joined about three weeks ago and is from Alabama. Tyler had a more traditional, high-pressure sales approach. We get it - that's just how sales works. This was where the process was not transparent to us, the customers. It's a black box. Here's how the numbers broke down: * Sticker price: ~$57,500 (includes ~$2,000 in Marietta Toyota dealer add-ons) * Discount: ~$1,200 (2.1% off) - only available by financing through Toyota at 6.34% APR * Trade-in (2010 Corolla LE): started at $1,000, Tyler upped it to $1,500 * Net price after trade-in: ~$54,800 * Tax, tag, title, and other fees: ~$5,200 In order to receive a "discount," you can't be an all-cash buyer. One way dealerships make money is by getting customers to finance. You can make a minimum of three monthly payments and then pay off the car in full after that to get your "discount" and avoid paying extra interest. There was less wiggle room to negotiate on a Crown Signia because it's a rare vehicle compared to something like a Camry or RAV4. Part 3 of 3: Finance & Insurance with Finance Manager Christie Kerdahi Just when we thought we were done, we had to go into business manager Christie's office to discuss F&I products. She pitched us on three different contracts: a mechanical failure service contract, a prepaid maintenance plan, and a vehicle protection plan for the tires and wheels. These totaled almost $10,000. We had to decide on those contracts right then and there in her office. By that point, we were mentally worn out, felt backed into a corner, and just wanted to be done and out the door. We accepted because she said we could cancel any contract at any time and receive a prorated amount back. We are highly considering canceling. You could argue that a brand as reliable as Toyota doesn't need all this stuff. To be clear, this isn't a knock on Christie specifically - she was professional and just doing her job. This part was tough because of how the F&I process works industry-wide. The contract terms (e.g., time period/mileage, what's included/excluded) are structured in the dealership's favor. Again, they have to make money. The way the numbers are presented - every step of the way, not just F&I - along with F&I being the last step before you walk out with a new car, is part of a larger, deliberate sales strategy. *** ENDING NOTES *** Dealership sales and finance managers do these kinds of things all day, every day. A lot of customers only go through this a handful of times in their lives. So dealerships obviously have the advantage over the customers here. They get you right where they want you. While we weren't super prepared going in, we felt prepared enough - yet we were still blindsided and put on the spot multiple times throughout the process. It's easy to get hung up on technicalities and details, but they do matter. There was a lot of paperwork and not enough time to review everything thoroughly - similar to a home closing, where everything moves fast right at the end and you're signing before you've had a real chance to read it all. We happened to go on slow afternoons, so we were seen almost immediately by everyone. We were in and out about as fast as one could hope, so that was nice. We didn't want to spend a lot of time shopping around and haggling, so there was value to us in getting something we wanted fast. We're very happy with the car. We were lucky it had just rolled off the truck the day we test drove it. We like Bri and would work with her again.

    Went in looking to buy quickly. it's never as quick as you want to be, but Davon did a great job…read moreand kept things clear and moving

    I've debated on writing this review for a good solid week. I've got some time so I might as well…read moreshare my experience. Honestly, buying a car really should take as much time and energy as it did to purchase this car. Before I jump into the details, I'll say that Keenan and Nigel were amazing. Brian the finance guy was an ass but I'll get into that in a moment. Long story long: went to ALM on a Monday, test drove a car. Liked it but wasn't in love with it. Keenan got online with me, we scrolled through some other cars and we found one that was at ALM Newnan. Nigel said they could bring it over on Tuesday morning. I had to work so I sent my husband. When he got there, the car wasn't there. They said they'd bring it Wednesday, I sent my dad. But it wasn't there when he was on his way midday. I happened to be checking the website and the car popped up that it was at ALM Marietta. I texted Keenan and he said he was off but that John would be able to help me. I got there and John immediately began to ask about numbers. I hadn't even test driven the car yet. I test drove it and then we immediately jumped into the numbers. We went back and forth for a longgg time about all the add- ons and ultimately why the math wasn't mathing. Essentially we found out that there was hidden insurance in the final number that "our system adds and there's no way to notate that it's there" We settled everything up and I left. I came back the next day because they promised me new tires and do you know these folks tried to take my car back.?? They said they didn't sell the car for the right price and that the manager was gonna try and not fund the sale. At the end of the day, I got to keep the car, with no added fees or anything. But I would be hard pressed to buy from them again.

    Goodness expensive companions, let me grow on this thought a small more…read more When a service is gifted in such a warm and superb way, it clears out a enduring impression that amplifies distant past the minute, the good taste in the mouth left in customer when one received a good treatment, It is the warmth and consistent productivity of fabulous client benefit that takes off a really permanent impression on the client, Encounters like this gotten to be cherished recollections and bring out sentiments of appreciation and fulfillment long after the occasion is over. It is in fact the special combination of neighborliness and expertise that strikes a profound chord within the customer's heart and advances dependability and appreciation. These are what turn an intermittent client into a normal client, and the awesome consideration I gotten from this dealer made me that client.
