Jim Stevens was terrific throughout our multiple visits--polite, professional, and never pushy. He was always accommodating with our requests and incredibly helpful. There was also a minor existing issue with the car, which Brian and the service department resolved promptly as soon as we brought it to their attention. Malones truly has a great team, and the entire environment is low‑pressure and stress‑free. We'll definitely return when we're in the market for another car. Thank you!

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.

The rear pillar looks like it was cut off and replaced but the damage was so hard that they didn't fully repair it and left it uneven. Rear bumper has a wavy line where repair wasn't even properly hidden. Driver side doors do not hinge correctly and both quotes I have been given fall above 6k minimum for repairs. I did contact Paul from the dealership and I have not heard from them yet.

I would strongly recommend steering clear of this dealership. They tack on an excessive amount of…read moremark-up and try to squeeze as much money as possible out of you right from the start. One of the biggest issues is that they force you to pay for "Grand Care," which costs $3,262.41. The problem is you don't really know what that even includes -- they can describe it however they want, and you're basically expected to accept it without any clear breakdown. On top of that, their documentation fee is $999, which is extremely unreasonable. The average doc fee in Georgia normally ranges from about $599 to $699, so they're charging well above what's typical. Then when it comes to your trade-in, they go out of their way to undervalue your vehicle. They even use the excuse, "Well, since we're not a major dealership, we have to recoup somehow," as if that justifies shortchanging you. The warning signs were there from the start. When I walked in, I saw a woman who was visibly upset saying, "You all like to play mind games," before she declined to buy a car. I honestly should have taken that as a sign and left right then. The entire experience felt unprofessional, almost like doing business behind a fast-food restaurant instead of an actual dealership. Every time I said something, the salesman would disappear into the back, return with paperwork, and the information would be completely wrong. Once we finally agreed on a number, I thought the deal was set -- but even then, the actual numbers were off by a huge amount. To be fair, the salesman wasn't rude, but that still doesn't make up for how they operate. If you decide to go there, just know that even if you negotiate what seems like a decent deal, they will find a way to justify why you won't actually get the best price. By the time they add all their fees and mark-ups, you're already $4,000 to $6,000 in the hole before they even start processing the paperwork.

I don't frequently post reviews, but I felt like one was needed in this case. I wanted to take the time to share a good news story in this case. We had several bad experiences at other dealerships, so working with Dale at America Dealer was a pleasant surprise. The price listed was the final price. There were no additional fees or unexpected costs. It didn't take long to complete paperwork and we were quickly back on the road to home. The car is still running great a month later and my son has no complaints. America Dealer is hidden behind the famous Big Chicken. It's a smaller car lot, but I recommend taking the time to check out their inventory. (Note: The review incorrectly shows San Francisco instead of Huntsville, AL)

A Great Place to get a Bad Deal!!!…read more A friend of mine referred my sister to this place and I accompanied her to make the worst deal ever!!!! Chris is one of the sweetiest con artist you will ever meet!!! During the test drive, the brakes scrubb a little, but Chris assured us it was because the car was sitting and it would go away once we begin driving, and it did... As soon as we drove the car off the lot, all hell broke loose, not to mention while my sister was signing her paper work, Chris & a repair man was outside fixing a hose he said he made a mistake and broke off while changing out the battery ( why was he even under the hood??? )... Well..on the way home the scrubbing began again with the breaks and also loud popping noises occurred whenever she made a sharp turn, very loud squealing noise when she cranked the car up the next morning.... It was horrible, my sister was in tears, but I was fired up!!!!! I reached out to Chris myself the next day to see what her options were and Chris stated that he was just a salesman, but later called my sister to find out the problem, ....still, we were referred to the repair center!!!!! Everyone I spoke with referred us to the freaking REPAIR CENTER. Very unpleasent group of people. In fact, they should change their name to "The Repair Center" ( SLOGAN: we will sell you a bad car and then we just may fix it ). In short, the car needed..... Brakes Belt ( loud squealing noise ) CV joints New radio wiring ( static, goes in & out ) Exposed wiring Missing spare tire and jack It's only been 3 weeks, so we dont know what else may come up. Sad Situation. The check engine light will NOT go off as well as the light that shows something may be wrong with the tire pressure. We spoke with the owner Williams, whom must have recognize that a bad deal was made concerning this vehicle and sent the car to a shop to be fixed 1 week after it was purchased ( yes, my sister had to drive around with no break, a squealing and popping car for an entire week - yes dangerous and embarrassing ), we dropped the car off on a Saturday morning and picked it up that evening ( inconvenienced once again but yet they took a $2,000 down payment from her,The car is overpriced and the intrest rate is outrageous ), only fixing the CV joints and the brakes. We recently went back to Marietta Car Center pick up a spare, but was told they didnt have a jack- wtf!!!! The spare looks as if it's seen better day.... So disappointed with William and the staff at Marietta Care Center. They suck and I wouldnt refer my worst enemy to this place. If there was a photo of what a Shady Car dealer look like.... William's Face would be it. I feel partly responsible for my sisters situation, I'm trying to find someone to refinance her vehicle so that she dont have to deal with these crooks at all, also trying to help get her radio repaired.
