For a car dealership, this place has been pretty solid for us. We purchased a car in 2020 from…read morethem, which was a pretty straightforward experience, and have used their service department for two cars. Frankly, I wish Ford made minivans else we'd still be going there for our next vehicle. Also, I have had two different cars appraised and the whole process was really simple and straightforward; I didn't feel pressured. Granted, it could just be the people I worked with over the years, but it's been a pretty consistent experience. I am a huge fan of their service department: everything is done promptly, parts are always available, and they have a shuttle service plus will deliver your car after maintenance is done. The flexibility is hard to beat.

had a very disappointing experience with this dealership, which is especially frustrating because I…read morehad previously purchased three vehicles from them and trusted their business. I purchased a 2014 Audi A4 Quattro 2.0 (blue) for $14,000, and during the test drive the check engine light was already on. I was assured it would be fixed before everything was finalized. That did not happen. Over the next seven months, I barely had the Audi because it was constantly in the shop for the same ongoing issues. I spent more time without the vehicle than with it, despite repeated assurances that the problems had been resolved. I was also required to purchase an extended warranty for $4,000. Before signing the paperwork, the salesman advised me not to use the warranty for a certain period of time or it would not cover anything considered "pre-existing," even though the dealership already knew the Audi had pre-existing issues. The warranty covered nothing, and I paid over $2,500 out of pocket for repairs the dealership would not fully cover. When I canceled the warranty, I was only refunded $3,200, resulting in a loss of nearly $1,000. Because the dealership could not fix the Audi, they replaced it with a 2014 Buick Encore, which was valued $3,000 less than what I originally paid for the Audi. Despite this difference, no adjustment was made in my favor. Even more concerning, the dealership later put the Audi back on their lot for sale at the same price I paid, despite its known issues. The 2014 Buick Encore's check engine light came on the day after I brought it home. The dealership kept the vehicle for several days, stating it was repaired, though I was not given a clear explanation for why it remained at the dealership for that length of time. After getting it back, the vehicle continued to run poorly and the check engine light issues persisted. This entire situation caused significant financial loss, stress, and months of inconvenience. I do not recommend purchasing the 2014 Audi A4 Quattro, and I strongly caution buyers that even extended warranties may not provide protection. I recommend getting everything in writing and being extremely cautious when dealing with this dealership.

They gave me a good deal on it, had it ready for me exactly when I wanted to pick it up, answered all my questions at the time, and are still available to support me after the purchase.

Steve came highly recommended by our friends, Jim and Darcey Widmann, and now we know why. After shopping all over Des Moines for a truck, we encountered dealerships that either patronized us, hassled us, or made us feel like we didn't know what we were talking about. Some even tried to convince us that we couldn't get what we wanted. But when we walked into Toyota of Des Moines, it was a completely different experience. From the moment we were greeted, we felt welcomed and respected. Steve allowed us to choose the vehicle we wanted without any hassle. Every incentive was explained upfront, and the level of transparency was refreshing. What truly set them apart was their willingness to meet our needs on the trade-in. We were told by a Ford dealer (who originally sold us the Bronco) that we could never get the trade-in value we wanted, but Toyota gave us exactly what we asked for--no questions asked. Steve and the entire team at Toyota of Des Moines worked with urgency, respect, and professionalism to finalize the deal in a way that left us completely satisfied. This level of customer care and attention to our needs is what made us feel valued. Toyota of Des Moines embodies what it means to be a true car dealership. We are now proud Toyota brand loyalists and look forward to a lifetime of Toyota ownership, provided the company continues to deliver on its promise of quality in both manufacturing and sales. If you're out there shopping for a vehicle and struggling to find a dealership that truly listens and puts the customer first, look no further than Toyota of Des Moines. Thank you, Steve Henigan, and the entire team--you have earned our loyalty!

He costed Dustin a sale and I feel bad. But I'd never spend/buy from someone who speaks to customers like that. Not only is George an issue, as I was leaving I see one of the Audi employees treat a full blown red light as a stop sign. He stopped, looked both ways, and ran the red light to cross the street to fill up one of their cars. It was actually fascinating to see someone who is that impatient or that above the law in broad day light. Also, the car I wanted to test drive malfunctioned before I got out of the lot. "WARNING DRIVER SYSTEM ERROR" blaring after I drove an hour to test out the car and was told it's ready to go. Incredible experience.

I am extremely disappointed & dissatisfied with my experience at Car City in Des Moines Iowa off of…read moreMerle Rd for this cars sale on Jan 8th 2026, and I feel compelled to warn other Consumers about their deeply unprofessional and unethical business practices. At the time of purchase, both the owner Darby and the salesperson explicitly represented that a second key was included and assured me it would be sent to me right away. Afterwards that the money was sent and this representation being a key factor in my decision to move forward with the purchase. What followed was a frustrating series of excuses, contradictions, and outright fabrications. I was told vague stories about "a guy named Joe" supposedly having the key, only to be given the runaround, hung up on, and sent on a complete goose chase that wasted a lot of my time and patience. Ultimately, the promised key never materialized, and I am now being told that replacing this high tech 2021 M5 key through the Dealer will cost approximately a bit over $1,000--a cost that exists solely because Car City failed to honor their word or simply find whats now pointless cost/ expenditure. This is not a minor oversight; it is a clear case of misrepresentation. The lack of accountability, professionalism, and basic integrity shown throughout this process is unacceptable. A dealership that conducts business this way should not be trusted. I strongly advise potential buyers to get everything in writing and to think twice before dealing with Car City. Buyer Beware seriously. This dealership will promise you anything it takes to close the sale and then vanish like Casper the ghost the moment the paperwork is signed. Their word means absolutely nothing. They rely on deceptive tactics, including slipping a so-called "one-pager" - "No Promise" into the paperwork that conveniently attempts to nullify every verbal commitment they made to you minutes earlier. It's a calculated maneuver designed to give them cover later so they can claim they "never promised anything." All the while telling you it's on its way. This is not an honest mistake or miscommunication -- it's a pattern of behavior meant to mislead customers and dodge responsibility after the deal is done. If you choose to do business with Car City, assume every promise will be broken, every follow-up will be ignored, and every issue will suddenly become your problem. Get every single detail in writing, read every line twice, and understand that once they have your money, their integrity disappears completely. Bottom line: even if in writing, it doesn't exist at Car City. Expect promises to vanish the moment they have your money. This dealership talks a good game until the sale is complete. After that, accountability disappears and excuses begin. This dealership operates on misrepresentation, excuses, and denial. If integrity matters to you, do not do business here...
