I just want to shout a BIG KUDOS to Nick!!! Second time he has hooked me up! He is so awesome. Go see him! Ty Nick!
Great experience at Palestine Toyota. While staying in town this week, my car was broken into along with about twelve other vehicles in the hotel parking lot. I took my Tacoma to the dealership early that morning and was on the road that afternoon with new glass installed. The team did a great job getting me back on the road. Would recommend to a friend, for sure!
I just recently purchased a vehicle from this dealership and I am very pleased with the customer service I experienced. The sales man, Donnie Myers, was amazing and guided me to the perfect vehicle for me. He was very polite and very knowledgeable about the different vehicles. I’d highly recommend Toyota of Palestine to anyone looking for a vehicle!!
Salesman Donnie Meyers has sold us 3 cars in the last year. Donnie has made every single experience with Palestine Toyota very enjoyable. He is a very friendly and knowledgeable salesperson with his customers needs in mind. When I am ready for my next vehicle, I will only deal with Donnie Meters.
UPDATE: The Owner was very polite and courteous when addressing our issues and concerns, while solving them. He was very trustworthy. He stayed on top of the issue until it was corrected!Thank You All Very Much!Had to have our vehicle serviced. We had an appointment We were quoted one price and was charged another price had to wait two hours. We have a four cylinder and was charged for a 6 cylinder oil change. Had to request for them to give us our money back.
Terrible service dept. Had an appointment for oil change, no customers in line in front of me and the service took 2 hours, cost $30 more than other Toyota dealerships. Tech managed to strip the screws on my skid plate then charged me for replacements they didn’t have in stock. After the fact found grease hand prints on the headliner. Avoid.
They will treat you best if your buying a vehicle from them but they dont want to service the cars when it comes to wornty work. They wont even return calls if you try and touch base with them about your vehicle. Ive been trying for the last 10 days and the service department wont even answer the phone..... after posting this i was contacted and things were sorted out im glad that we could resolve this issue and the the service department got it taking care of i have changed the rating to three stars for them understanding there mistakes thank you...
They made all my car buying worries go away. Apprehensive about buying out-of-state without having driven the vehicle. Molly and the crew made this whole process smooth and easy. Great car. Great price. Great experience. Thanks Palestine Toyota!
The easiest and fastest purchase I have ever made. This was by far the most pleasant vehicle buying experience I have ever been through. I was looking for a specific Tundra, and though it took 2 weeks, Mike Perry found what I was looking for and had it delivered to Palestine for me rather than me having to drive to Dallas (and less expensive than the other dealership I initially tried to deal with). Keep in mind this is despite an inventory shortage across the U.S. due to production shut downs (COVID related) and an increase in truck demand (with the recent SNOVID). The staff there went the extra mile and then some (probably sacrificing a kidney or something to get the deal done, but whatever....I got my truck). Tank topped off, vehicle cleaned (despite no water at the dealership because of the afore mentioned SNOVID) and keys in my hands in less than an hour. Phenomenal team there with no pressure or trying to up charge me. I can not say enough how well the team treated me and I plan to do all my future business with them. God bless guys and keep up the good work.
Im the kinda customer that walking into a Car Dealership makes me uncomfortable in my own skin. Im a Toyota Guy and Jason Lansfordis my go to sales rep for life. Not only is he knowledgeable about the vehicles, but what option are important. Jason thank U but the pleasure was mine.Craig Musick
The wife and I were tire kicking while waiting on our car at discount tire. Nick (car salesman) approached us, we told him our situation that we just killing time while waiting on our car. He was extremely friendly and helpful on answering questions while we were looking and killing time. We are happy with the vehicle we have right now and aren’t looking to purchase for a few years. We will definitely come see Nick when we are ready to buy a Toyota and I highly recommend him to anyone that’s looking to buy a car!
The trunk or treat they did yesterday was amazing.
The best service department and sales . We have been going to Toyota Palestine for years and would not go anywhere else . Top notch
Great friendly salespeople with a very clean atmosphere. Although I did not purchase a vehicle this time around I still highly recommend this dealership for your future Toyota vehicle buying experience.
Jason was great to work with, this is my second vehicle I have bought at that dealership
My husband and I purchased a new Toyota Highlander from Palestine Toyota 5 days ago. We first made contact through their website to ask a multitude a questions, and were connected to our salesman Jordan Farley. We highly recommend him to anyone in their vehicle search. We are always wary of purchasing a vehicle after only corresponding by email and phone, but the process was smooth and there were no surprises once we arrived for the purchase. Jordan and Palestine Toyota were able to locate the exact vehicle I was looking for at a great price. Definitely our best experience with any dealership and salesman ever.
Bought my new car from them in December. Mr. Nick was great, as was Mr. Andrews in financing. They went above and beyond and even were willing to stay very late to work with my schedule during the holiday season. I liked them so well, when my mother-in-law started looking I brought her in, and she bought a truck from them as well. Great people all the way around.
I have to say McLarty Toyota is one of the best and well presented dealerships I have been to. Though I had to fight to get close to what I wanted for my trades I understand they have to be able to make money as well. Over all I had a great experience with the team at McLarty Toyota. Keep up the great work yall! Thanks again.
Go to Toyota of Tyler, they are truly amazing. You will get better service, a nicer car, and for less money and mileage. They wont try to put you in something you dont want, or ask you to add your spouse, or ask for more money on your down payment. It was so quick and easy and professional. I went to Toyota of Palestine and left frustrated, I went through Toyota of Tyler completely online and left in my new car completely happy.
I went in for an oil change Saturday around 12:30 because I didnt want to drive to Tyler like I normally do. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the person assisting in getting that taken cared of was. Coming and going. He was patient and very Courteous. He was wearing a face mask which was good considering. Im directionally challenged so I would have liked for him to offer and or direct me to the waiting room. The waiting room was clean and the coffee was amazing. Loved the Kurig. Unfortunately, there was no hand sanitizer around. That definitely would be convenient. One of the gentleman that sold cars came in and we talked for a minute. We had a pleasant conversation. The same man ended up helping me put my window sticker on the windshield because the oil change guys neglected to put it on. I did pay a few dollars more but I guess I would have spent that much in gas getting to Tyler. I also had them wash the car. Much appreciated! Overall good exprience. It wasnt a long wait either. Im glad I didnt go to Tyler!
It was awesome they. Fixed the problem that we. Had now. We. Can. Have a better driving experience the. Atmosphere was. Great the. People helped out as soon as we pulled up
Has the best experience purchasing a new car over there. Jessie is the BEST. He explains you everything you need to know about first time buying a car. Financial manager will take every little detail of your information into consideration if you are not qualified for promotion and he’s willing to work with you until you reach your satisfaction. Best team and best place!
An amazing dealership, bought a brand new 2017 Toyota ia from them. Had the best sales guy ever. I will be back in 6 years for a newer car and hopefully my sales guy will still be there. This dealership is much better than classic Toyota in Tyler. I would recommend anyone looking for a car to go here. Thank you Jonathon quick. You made car buying simple and easy.
I worked with Nick & he was absolutely the best guy! This man is honest & upfront with his customers & I couldnt appreciate that more. If youre looking for a vehicle in the Palestine area, Nick Nicholas is your man!
I am extremely disappointed in my experience in the service department. I pulled up to the service center, around 2:00 pm, in order to get an oil change. One service member was assisting another customer and I was LITERALLY standing in the door way awaiting assistance. The other customer service member came around the corner into the office, passed me standing IN the DOORWAY to assist another customer standing behind me. There’s a way to address multiple customers standing in the waiting area.
Excellent service and courteous staff.
Very nice people who are ready to help you.
I just got my car serviced there. They were prompt, professional, and the waiting area was very nice. I was able to get myself a snack, enjoyed my coffee, and spoke with one of the nice sales people about some specials they are having on the new Camry (Im thinking about trading in my old car soon). More than likely, Im going to buy from them. I also like having a Toyota dealer that is less than an hour away! Its bonus that they are also a great one! :)
Great place to do business with. They will do everything possible to get the car you want. But, never pushy or try to sell you something you dont want. Thanks, Coby Anderson and Cole Collins
Service is really really great. Rick the sales manager knows how to take care of his customers. Ill be by in my next car there again.
Mrs Aguilar was an outstanding salesperson. She went out her way to make sure I found the right car. She also was very helpful in showing me all the features on my car. She also demonstrated how to operate some of the features. Overall I loved her personality and she also drove my other vehicle home for me. I would recommend her to anyone for help trying to buy a vehicle .
Keith in parts knows his stuff. Great place to get OEM Toyota parts.
Ive recommended this place to a lot of people. Even purchased a car from here. But after the experience my brother has had with them and honoring their warranty. I would really advise people to go elsewhere. Hes made three trip about the same thing, and gets the same results nothing. The warranties they offer are a scam. Both of my parents are car shopping as we speak and now refuse to deal with any Toyota dealership because the way yall have handled the situation with my brothers car.
Mrs. Aguilar was so sweet. She went above and beyond to help me find the best car for my budget and needs. I appreciated her professionalism and kindness. Ill defiantly recommend everyone to go see her for their next vehicle purchase.
Unparalleled customer service! They answered every question I had and were so patient and accommodating! Best dealership I have ever worked with!
Great service and wonderful people
I bought a new 4Runner from Sam. My trade in value wasnt as much as I would have liked, and a heck of a lot lower than they are try to resell it for, but after getting discounts, price reductions and $250 for Internet inquiry for the new 4Runner, I was happy. The dealing was painless and unpressured. 2 weeks in and no regrets. This is my second 4Runner, my other is a 1999 4Runner that cost almost as much as my new one. They are both great vehicles that last and look great for many years. Hardest thing is trying to decide if I want to drive my new black one or my old white one. I would buy another Toyota here again, but since they last forever, it may be another 20 years before Im in the market for a 3rd 4Runner.
My husband and I looked on the website and found a couple of cars we wanted to look at. Our salesman, Michael Richardson, met us outside when we arrived and showed us what we were interested in as well as a couple of his suggestions. After choosing our car, Brandon helped us get the financing worked out, they detailed the car and we were done! The process was so smooth and easy, we definitely recommend this place. :)
We purchased our 2016 Sienna in California, the service people there were always so eager to blame everything (no matter how impossible) on owner. Here the customer service is outstanding and they cant wait to please you. Most Awesome!!!!!
Best experience purchasing a car to date! There was no pressure and they listened to what we were looking for in a truck. We came to buy a used truck, and left happily in a brand new one.
Wonderful service! I was assisted by Josh, who was able to help me find exactly what I was looking for. The paperwork was easily and quickly processed, with Josh and the finance team easily answering any questions I had. Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone in the area!
Sam Parker was our salesperson. We could not have had a better experience. He did everything in his power to get us into a new car. every time we come in they treat us with courtesy. the only problem we have is that a tank of gas only last two weeks. we really do enjoy our car very much........Thank you Sam
Purchased a used Tundra and absolutely love it. The management team, Mr. White and Mr. Berry made sure I got top dollar for my trade and showed me how to work various options on the truck. Very possibly the lowest stress level of any vehicle I have purchased in the past! I would recommend McLarty to my friends and relatives :)
My experience was actually in the service department where they graciously accepted working on my Nissan even though Toyota is their norm. Not only did they figure out the issues, but they gave me a sizeable discount to try to ease the financial pressure I was having with the unexpected repairs. David Foreman was the main person that worked with me along with his mechanic.
Very friendly. Miranda, the girl in service was very helpful and informative. Couldnt have asked for nicer people. Thank you Miranda!!!!!
Bought a 2016 Rav 4. I had tried to purchase a Toyota from Classic Toyota in Tyler TX for the past 5 years, but they have never wanted to sell me a car nor truck there. I am so thankful that there is a Toyota Dealer that is willing to make trades, and sell cars. I will be back for sure. Thanks
I enjoy the service department they have great customer service and always take care of the customer no matter the issue
Fantastic Place to buy a car!! Bought my wife a highlander last weekend. You can’t beat the LifeTime Warranty!! Great Service!
Great staff. Slow service
Everyone friendly, helpful, ready to explain what was being done to vehicle at anytime. Waiting area clean, comfortable and provides coffee and bottled water, and stocked vending machines for snacks and sodas.
Great service and Sales by Carlton Pridgen .
Doing everything they can do to get me in a car
Update 03/16/2021: Despite challenges brought on by repairs from a major waterline break things are business as usual. Same great people. Same great service. Same excellent customer service. The entire team has stepped up a notch to prove their individual personal commitment to customer care and satisfaction. It is remarkable to see this level of customer respect. Truly outstanding in every detail.Sam Parker is the go to guy. He is one of the best sales people I have ever worked with in any industry and, by far, the very best car sales customer service professional I know of. He truly cares and is not pushy. We worked together over three months to get me into the truck I wanted rather than the truck the dealership wanted to sell. He was patient and thorough throughout the transaction and he was truly respectful to the customers needs. The deal was perfect: I got the truck I wanted at a fair price without a lot of hassle or pressure. I drove away feeling I had been treated fairly and honestly every step of the way.I have had nothing but excellent service through the Service Department as well. I really appreciate the way I am treated every time.The dealership is clean, nice, comfortable and accommodating. Great WIFI, too.
Very friendly, clean, helpful and no pressure on to you
I wrote a review about my recent experience at this dealership and the review was responded to by the general manager Chuck. To be honest I never expected a call back. But I just got off the phone with him and I have never been treated with more respect after being angry and aggressive with comments. Chuck cares a lot about his business and customers. He took the time to listen to my issue with the dealership and didn’t make me feel like I was wrong for feeling the way I did after the visit. If you think about giving a bad review just read another negative comment and give him a call before you leave a review. Chuck if you read this far I apologize for leaving the comments and sounding so angry on the voicemail. I don’t understand every aspect of the car business but you treated me with much respect and kindness when I personally would have not done the same. Five stars for above and beyond. Thank you.
WOW, where to start,Literally one of the best experiences i have ever had buying ANYTHING. Curtis Pharis went above and beyond to not only get me in a car, but the one I came to get. The whole experiences was WELL WORTH the drive from Tyler. I would refer Mclarty to anyone, especially if they are in the east Texas area. Im looking forward to my next vehicle from Mclarty and Curtis here in the future!
I love to bring my car here they do an awesome job
They are really great to work with and will help put you in the vehicle your wanting.
The sales tactics used by this dealership are deplorable. They get you interested in a car, then pull the rug out from under you by coming up with some excuse as to why you dont qualify, such as, need more money down, credit score isnt good enough, your trade-in isnt enough, etc. This happened to me not once but THREE times. I wasted almost an entire day, and ended up with a car I didnt really want.I DO NOT recommend this dealership to anyone. If you want a Toyota, take the extra drive to Tyler, you will be treated better.
It was a good place to get a car or a truck.u will be there for a while
Great folks & service
Be careful with used cars here. I wouldnt reccomend.
I am really happy with the laid back manner, never felt pressured at all, ready to deal when I was. Maribel was so knowledgeable and friendly!
Casey and Brandon was a great help to me getting me in a car thanks to the whole team
Good service. A lite pricey though.
Palastine is so lucky to have this dealership. The owner provides exceptional customer service. You just can’t go wrong with Toyota cars for safety and reliability. I’ve owned three Prius automobiles.
Super salesman, very friendly, knowledge able! But his sense of humor was perfection!!!Thanks you Nick for all you did!Now can you find the keys in a compartment on the drivers side, PLEASE!!!
Mclarty Toyota was hands down the best auto buying experience that I have ever had. The sales team and staff are friendly and greet you in a professional/non-aggressive manner, they are both helpful and knowledgeable about their vehicles, products and services. I was assisted by sales associate Edgar Posada, who immediately greeted me in the rain and helped me with my vehicle purchase. Their finance team was straight forward and explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had about warranty, contract and services. This dealership is one of the cleanest and best organized I have ever seen. They even placed my vehicle in a holding bay, after they cleaned it and filled it with a full tank of gas, which Im positive they do for all of their customers. If you have been burned, hassled or mistreated by any of the other competing auto dealers in Palestine, I strongly urge you to go to Mclarty Toyota, they are top notch and will not let you down, I assure you.
I stopped by here once even though I wasnt searching for a Toyota vehicle. I came here because I needed a place for an oil change for my Mini Cooper. I was in a need for an oil change. A staff member said that I was not able to do an oil change but assisted me to go somewhere else in Palestine for oil changes for Mini/BMW cars. They were respectful as well!
Must have come in on a bad day employees were rude......this was my last review well went buy again in the last month nope not any better maybe even more rude definitely would not recommend them at all and will not ever stop by again. That its worst place every and more then once. Try to give them another try but nope not again.
Curtis sold us an AWESOME Truck tooday! I have been working with him since I test drove a Chrysler 300 SRT8!! He is a great salesman and the most important thing is: He does NOT pressure you! My wife and I are very pleased with everyone at the Dealership! We wish Curtis ALL THE BEST! !
Our sales man was hollis he was awesome went above and beyond to get us financed
How do you rate perfect? How do you explain a business that goes way beyond to help a customer.My wife left the house pulling a horse trailer with a horse going to a new home. She stopped for gas and then continued traveling. Shorty after leaving the gas station the check engine light came on. Power was reduced and soon all lights were flashing. She made it to her dealership in Palestine.As you may have already guessed, she had purchased bad gas. The dealership then sent her home in a beautiful loaner vechile. Thank god. My wife had to bring home feed and hay or horses would not have been fed.And if that was not enough, remember she still had a horse trailer with a 2 year old colt trapped. A employee of Palestine toyota ghen offered up her own vechile and hauled the trailer and colt safely back home.How do you thank a business that understands its customers and goes to this effort. My respect and thanks to Palestine Toyota. You will have our businness as long as we are able to drive.
This is by far is the best dealership I have ever been to. My salesman was amazing. Worked tirelessly to get me into a vehicle that i not only love but that i can depend on. So if youre needing a new car go to Mclarty Toyota in Palestine Texas and ask for Curtis Pharis. He is amazing!
It is a clean facility and it doesnt feel as though you are being harassed when you are there
Worst experience ever. They told me I was approved for Financing and let me drive off the lot with my new truck. Three days later they called back asking for a co-signer saying, I didnt make enough. They told me that they wouldnt take my commission checks as the larger part of my income. That made no sense to me, but they told me they could put me in a car, just not the truck. Apparently they did a process called Spot Financing were they assume that everything would check out. They will let you leave the lot in your new vehicle, and then try to get a approval later. When this falls through they will call and say you need a co-signer or you will have to bring the vehicle back to the dealership.Its something to leery about when going late at night or weekends cause most banks are closed.I was lucky enough to get my old car back, but they had already destroyed my plates. Its been two months now and still no plates. I had to call this morning because the temporary plates are about to expire. Of course no one knew about it and now Im waiting on a called back. I would note that Curtis was the original salesperson I spoke to who was excellent. It was the manager who kept going back to finance office is when thing started to get sketchy for me. I should have follow my gut,( which Curtis was very understanding about) and left. However the pushy persistent manager kept coming back trying to make a deal that he obviously could not honor.
Outstanding dealership Guys are friendly and extremely helpful
The best vehicle sells people. If your in need of a new or used vehicle, ask for Amy Torrez or Hollis taylor.They will treat you wright.
My Husband and I recently purchased a 2015 Certified Pre-ownedTRD Pro. We LOVE it! Mclarty Toyota took very good care of us. Excellent customer service from Mike Richardson and Daniel. Will definitely recommend Mclarty Toyota!!
I deal with the parts side of McLarty a lot. Jason and Keith do a great job and are very knowledgeable!
Great sales people and I got a really good deal on a used SUV
Ouick and fast service fix flat and servic maintenance
THERE, STaff friendly& kind,Cody, & Brandon. ...good. people!Fast service. ....!!!,
I bought a car there last year and have had nothing bus issues since driving it off the lot. Currently sitting in ANOTHER auto shop having another part replaced from an accident that happened before I bought it. Simply frustrating.
Service department and Mr Oliver always take wonderful care of me. I will not go anywhere else :)
I dealt with Mrs. Lois aguilar and she was awesome she made me fell like part of her family. She did everything in her power to get me into my new vehicle. Thank you Mrs. Lois
Bait and switch. Your dealership had a car listed on CarGuru. I emailed you to make sure it was still available and was told that it was. I came by there this afternoon and the car was not there. I dont mean sold or being test driven. I was told by your salesman (Hollis) it was being used by Palestine Pd as an undercover vehicle and had not been at the dealership. He seemed completely uninterested even saying that you dont sell these cars anyway that they go to dealers. I waisted 22 miles and 30 min of my time and gas each way to look at a car you didnt even have. This shows a complete lack of respect and customer service.
Place will gouge you for your trade in to the tune of almost 10000 dollars below nada, blackbook, or blue book. When I have a credit score of 707, a trade work 24k based on comparison to what is on the lot, actually better than what is on the lot, and then given the run around, place is a joke, would not recommend for anyone
Everyone there is very welcoming, they greet you when you come into the door and make sure youre comfortable . I did my business with Curtis Pharis, I told him the specifics I was looking for and my preferences, he helped me get exactly what I was looking for . He was very friendly and informative and he made me feel comfortable about my purchase, he went over everything with me and answered all my questions.He talks to you like a friend rather than a salesman Trying to make a quick sale . I would defiantly recommend this dealership and Curtis to anyone lookin to buy
Thanks Lois Agular for the great deal today. Very good buying experience. 😀
Great service from beginning to the end honest trustworthy people will plan on using Toyota from this moment forward will send all my friends Curtis was my salesman
Sarah Webb was awesome...she didnt pressure us into a car we didnt want....shes just awesome all around.
I bought a Sequoia in January!! Lois Aguilar was my sales lady!!! She made sure that I got the car I wanted!!!! Very attentive and made the car buying process less stressful and enjoyable!!! Love her!!!
I had a great experience with Lois Aguilar! She was a pleasure to work with and helped me get an awesome deal on my Avalon! Thanks Lois!! :-)
Great coffee experience while waiting for oil change
Super service and associates. They make customer service a priority.
Love it. Great service and very nice people.
We just recently bought a truck from Mclarty Toyota and our sales accociate Curtis was awesome. I will continue to do business there.
