    I was very excited to purchase a 2026 GR86 Yuzu edition from Stephen Wade Toyota, which is exactly why this experience was so disappointing. The car itself is great, but the way finance employee Clay Penrod handled a follow-up paperwork issue was completely unacceptable. After the vehicle had already been delivered, the keys had already been provided, and substantial paperwork had already been signed, a solvable document-completion issue was escalated into theft accusations and threats to report the vehicle as stolen instead of being handled calmly and professionally. What makes that even worse is that the issue was later resolved quickly through emailed electronic signing, which shows how unnecessary the earlier threats were. When I tried to slow the situation down by asking for written documentation and clarification, the response was further escalation and more threats to report the vehicle as stolen. The salesperson later acknowledged in writing that he did not realize the required document had not been signed and that he would have mentioned it if he had known. In other words, this appears to have been a dealership communication/process failure, not bad-faith conduct by the customer. Afterward, I requested substantive written communication. The dealership was unresponsive to multiple emails and webform messages, and only attempted to handle the matter by phone after Toyota Brand Engagement contacted them. I responded by requesting written communication again, but still received no substantive written response directly from the dealership. I also raised this through BBB because I wanted the dealership to address it as a process and conduct issue. Their written responses did not substantively address the theft accusations or stolen-vehicle threats, and instead characterized the matter as "some confusion when paperwork was to be signed." That only reinforces my concern: a paperwork confusion should not have been escalated into theft accusations and stolen-vehicle threats. The communication afterward has also been extremely poor. Even a separate, simple follow-up to the salesperson about touch-up paint that had been discussed went unanswered. For a customer who just purchased a vehicle at this price point, that level of communication is very disappointing. A separate concern is that before the purchase, I was told in writing that Stephen Wade Toyota did not allow outside financing or customers bringing their own auto loans. That struck me as troubling, especially for a major branded dealership, because customers should be able to understand and compare financing options clearly. I raised that concern through BBB as well, but the dealership's written responses did not address it. I am happy with the car. I am not happy with how this dealership handled the situation. A customer acting in good faith should not be treated this way.

    By far the worst dealership experience I've ever had. I've owned multiple vehicles, including three Toyotas, and never had a negative experience like this until now. I traveled 10 hours round trip to purchase a truck from this dealership based on pricing we had discussed beforehand. When I arrived, the experience felt very transactional, there was no effort to build trust or a relationship. It was very much a 'someone else will buy it if you don't' attitude. BUT the biggest issue came after the sale. The final price I was charged did not match what we had agreed on prior to my trip. I only caught this the next day and had to reach back out myself. The response was slow, the apology minimal, and the resolution was a partial refund that did not fully correct the issue. Additionally, I was charged nearly $3,000 for aftermarket add-ons that were never clearly disclosed, explained, or agreed to during the buying process. That alone is extremely concerning and upsetting. Overall, this experience felt misleading and unprofessional. I would strongly encourage others to carefully review all pricing and documentation before signing anything here. Or even avoid it all together. If you're looking for a more transparent and customer-focused experience, I've had much better experiences with Tony Divino and Mark Miller Toyota in Northern Utah

    I love our new car from Stephen Wade Toyota! Adeeb helped us through the whole process and it was painless! He was calm, no heavy pressure or any of the things you dread in buying a car. I highly recommend Adeeb if you are looking for a new car!

Unfortunately, within the first 75 miles of the journey, my check engine light came on. After scanning the code at O'Reilly Auto Parts, it turned out to be a faulty NOX sensor--the same issue that was supposed to be addressed by another dealership during previous warranty work. Along the way, I reached out to multiple dealerships. My experiences ranged from getting the runaround in Temecula to unreturned calls in Las Vegas. Each place seemed eager to charge me a $270 diagnostic fee without the assurance it would be covered, despite this clearly being an emissions-related issue. That's when I finally connected with Phil at Mercedes-Benz of St. George, Utah. From the first conversation, he was respectful, patient, and knowledgeable. For the first time, a service advisor reassured me that if the NOX sensor was the issue, it should indeed be covered under warranty. His calm demeanor immediately gave me confidence. Even though my check engine light had turned off by the time I reached Las Vegas, Phil encouraged me to continue to St. George so they could ensure my van was road-ready. He personally promised to have a technician ready when I arrived. True to his word, as soon as I pulled in, it felt like a NASCAR pit crew in action--Phil started the paperwork while Josh, the technician, immediately began scanning my van. Josh confirmed the codes had cleared (likely from a prior scan at O'Reilly's), but he went above and beyond by resetting the NOX sensor adaptations, ADBLUE metering valve, and fluid levels. He explained everything clearly, reassured me, and had me back on the road with confidence. The result? My Sprinter drove better than ever. I noticed improved fuel efficiency (15-16 mpg), stronger performance climbing grades and driving at elevation, and smooth performance throughout the rest of my trip. From Bryce Canyon to Frisco, Moab, Lake Powell, and Sedona, the van ran flawlessly. This experience showed me the difference a truly customer-focused service center can make. Phil and Josh treated me with respect, prioritized my time, and ensured I could continue my trip safely. I would gladly drive 600 miles from San Diego to St. George for future service, especially warranty work. I can't recommend Mercedes-Benz of St. George enough--Phil and Josh turned a stressful situation into a memorable and positive service experience.

    STEPHEN WADE DODGE SERVICE WRITER: ABOVE AND BEYOND…read more OK, so after attending to my wife all day (12/16/25) before, during and after a complex surgery, I got her settled in and headed from the hospital to my car for the drive home. Jumped in, pushed the start button and got NOTHING. I quickly dialed up Stephen Wade Dodge's service department for advice but the only person available to grab the phone had no mechanical experience, but was able to recommend their preferred wrecker service. That's how I arrived at the dealership in a Zion Motor's wrecker, with just moments to spare before closing. It was dark. It was cold. The lights inside were being turned off. And there stood Tony Espinosa, the last service writer left, getting ready to head home to his family. Tony kindly delayed his drive home to help me get checked in and log the vehicle defects, and answer my questions about how to find a taxi or Uber or something to get to my home in the nearby city of Hurricane. Then, Tony personally walked me out of the building around to the back lot to find my car, so I could get the last of my personal effects. As we walked he's asking me things like, "How long have you lived around here?" "What part of the area do you live in?" Bottom line, Tony ended up offering to drive several miles past where he lives, on the way to Hurricane, and drop me off in my driveway, in Hurricane. That incredible gesture of kindness eased all my anxiety about finding a way home after an arduous day. For an old geezer like me with a broken down car on a cold, dark night ... that was HUGE. Thank you, thank you, thank you Tony Espinosa, Dean Herrington

We were able to relax comfortably at our motel and they provided shuttle service. By 10:30 am, we were back on the road and the car ran like new! They also explained to us the correct fuel to use (87...long time Honda driver and never knew that!) and suggested to set the A/C at 65, not "low" to help maintain the A/C compressor. They helped us get back on the road to go visit our daughter and spend some much-needed time with her. Great service, great communication. I wish all dealerships were like this. They truly were the "Helpful Honda" folks.
