Northside Toyota

Sales manager is turning away business.. Based on web research, i singled out a used camry xle. Even though is was vastly over priced and based on market analysis, i made a respectable offer Based on web research, i singled out a used camry xle. Even though is was vastly over priced and based on market analysis, i made a respectable offer which was flately refused without so much as a counter offer. Three weeks later, the car was still on the lot. The present sales manager isn't one for negotiation so now i'm looking out of town for a camry. Too bad for you Northside. More

Pushy sales, illegal sale tactics WARNING do not purchase or lease a vehicle. They promote their big sales but dont be fooled by this false advertising. Do not lease a vehicle as they WARNING do not purchase or lease a vehicle. They promote their big sales but dont be fooled by this false advertising. Do not lease a vehicle as they will not allow you to purchase another vehicle at another dealership before your lease is up or at the end of your lease. Forceful unprofessional sales managers and owners, will scream and yell at you in their office when your children are around. Sold me a rav4 with a cracked windshield and stated it was my fault and refused to fix it. Stay clear!!! Too bad I can't rate ZERO stars! More

Will lie to your face just to make the sale WARNING! DO NOT buy a car from Northside Toyota.The staff are trained liars. I was originally told my end of lease buyout would only cost $10,000. Whe WARNING! DO NOT buy a car from Northside Toyota.The staff are trained liars. I was originally told my end of lease buyout would only cost $10,000. When it was time to buyout my lease they said it would cost $17,000.The people at Northside Toyota will put on a fake smile and lie to your face. It doesn't stop there, the mechanic shop will charge you an absurd amount of money for work you DO NOT need. Please learn from my mistake and stay away from this dealership. Sincerely, VERY unhappy customer More

False advertising, aggressive/unprofessional experience Beware of the used cars on their website. They have indicated cars as "Toyota Certified Used" even though they aren't, which makes a big difference fo Beware of the used cars on their website. They have indicated cars as "Toyota Certified Used" even though they aren't, which makes a big difference for used cars as it means the car underwent a deeper than normal inspection (160 point) and has an extended warranty (12 months comprehensive, 7 year powertrain). When I asked the sales person (Carmen Blonda) he denied it and began to get loud/aggressive and said I would have to pay $1-2K for the inspection. This started a 5 minute verbal barrage about his honesty and generosity. Very unprofessional and terrible customer service. I left the dealership with a horrible taste in my mouth. More

Purchase of 2018 Camry Hybrid My wife and I went in simply to ask questions. She's very hard to fit, leg-wise. On long trips, she frequently gets leg cramps. Zack came and asked My wife and I went in simply to ask questions. She's very hard to fit, leg-wise. On long trips, she frequently gets leg cramps. Zack came and asked us if we needed help. We did. When we told him of our problem, he asked if we'd like to sit in a Camry. She said it passed her test (long story not needed here). So, we sat down and I asked him how much a 2007 Camry Hybrid would cost. I badly needed to replace my 2000 Corolla. He said if they had one on the lot, they'd need 15,000 for one in good shape. I was stunned. "15,000 for a ten-year-old car", I asked him?? "How much are they new?? A hundred grand"?? He went on to explain that they hold their value very well and most people who buy them, keep them. He also went on to explain that they were clearing out the 2017's for 31,000 and if I was really interested, he could likely get me into a 2018 for the same price. I had done my homework and learned that they completely re-designed the 2018 Camry Hybrid from the frame up and that the Hybrids were getting near Prius fuel economy. Long story short, we bought one. I had trouble at the start putting fuel in it, but that hasn't re-occurred since 2018. I bought it in October 2017 from Zack Maahs and he was VERY low pressure. In fact, there was no pressure from Zack!! I have sent the company a couple of photos I've taken from trips, but the one I recently took involved an 8.7 hour trip from Meaford to Owen Sound then back across to Meaford to the 400, then north to Sudbury, west onto 17 and home to Iron Bridge. Whenever I stopped the car, I never turned off the car. When I turned the car off at home in Iron Bridge, the fuel economy said 4.0 litres per hundred. That works out to 70.62 MPG!!! I keep a close eye on EVERY tankful and my fuel economy for the entire month of June 2018 was 63.75 MPG. Service has been great and every personal contact with people there has been a five-star experience. I follow Consumer Reports and their reliability rating on the Camry has ALWAYS been WAY ABOVE AVERAGE. That, and that alone was the reason I went into the showroom. I'm bothered by the number of negative comments about the dealership there. That has NOT (!!!) been my experience. More

Incompetent and Unacceptable customer service. Recently I purchased the lease buyout of my friends 2013 RAV4 leased from Northside Toyota in Sault Ste Marie. Upon review of the lease agreement and Recently I purchased the lease buyout of my friends 2013 RAV4 leased from Northside Toyota in Sault Ste Marie. Upon review of the lease agreement and service records, I observed that under additional equipment my friend had been charged for a block heater that was installed and $965.00 for a remote starter that had not been installed. When I pointed this out to the sales managers at the dealership and asked them if they could produce the work order, part number and invoice , they became very agitated and uncooperative. Not only was my friend charged $965.00 for the part, she was also charged the tax and 4.3% interest on this expense for the duration of the 5 year lease. Upon further inquiry, the sales manager refused to accept any responsibility, acted rudely, continually interrupted and raised his voice, repeatedly stating that "he was wasting his valuable time" and would not pursue the matter further. I had the vehicle inspected at another Toyota dealership and they concluded that the starter had never been installed. Avoid this dealership at all cost! More

TERRIBLE SERVICE after the sale I have owned 3 RAV4 vehicles, all of which have been GREAT vehicles provided you have unlimited amount of money to spend on repairs. There are NUMERO I have owned 3 RAV4 vehicles, all of which have been GREAT vehicles provided you have unlimited amount of money to spend on repairs. There are NUMEROUS issues with the RAV4 that are known to TOYOTA and WELL DOCUMENTED on the internet, yet the customer is left paying for endless repairs that should be part of a global recall. I spent over 3,000 dollars having to replace the carbon filter on two separate occasions over a 4 year period. I have had NOTHING but trouble with the differential because it was NEVER checked despite the fact that I had my car to the service department at least every 2 months for scheduled maintenance due to the fact that I put a lot of kms. on my vehicle. At one point, the service advisor (only female advisor at the time, I think her name was Charmaine) told me that the car was "PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE" and when I got a second opinion, I had NO DIFFERENTIAL FLUID and the car was deemed UNSAFE to drive on the highway.. I have recently purchased a 2017 NISSAN ROGUE, and I have had better service in 2 weeks that I did in 15 YEARS as a very LOYAL TOYOTA customer. It is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY for Frank and Mario Palumbo. Terrible service department, will never spend one more penny of my hard earned money at NORTHSIDE Toyota. More
