Never thought it would happen!!! I made a point of reading the reviews of all the dealers in Calgary in an attempt to locate a dealer we could be at least reasonably happy with. Of a I made a point of reading the reviews of all the dealers in Calgary in an attempt to locate a dealer we could be at least reasonably happy with. Of all those dealers only Charlesglen Toyota had a rating that was high enough that we thought it would be worth at least taking a look. We walked in the door, spotless - an nice surprise. Looked at a few vehicles and found one we both fell in love with but felt it was too big to fit in the garage. Mike Loritz, Product Advisor, showed and asked if we had any questions. Had lots, he answered them then said " if you have time lets jump in one and see if it fits in your garage". IT FIT!!! Back to the dealership. Kim McMurdo, Sales Manager, was introduced to us then looked at and tested our trade in. Wow, two people working at this dealership who actually loved what they did and were proud to be part of the dealerships team! Kerri Hope, Financial Services Manager, worked out the payment and extras we wanted. Through this entire time never was there any attempt to upsell or coerce us into purchasing anything we did not want. Everything was explained in an easy understandable way. Another person who actually loves their job and where they work! Wow, even phoned to advise she could not be there on the day of possession, but would ensure everything would be done, in place and exactly the way we wanted it. Possession day. :) Arrive at the prescribed time, and were met by Jim McAlorum, Delivery Coordinator. Jim walked us through all the buttons, bells, whistles, then programed the phone in to work seamlessly with the vehicle. No question was insignificant or a bother!!! Everything answered in detail. "Any question, call or come back and I will help you with how everything works". Wow another person who truly loves what he does and is proud of where he works!!!! Lastly, Phil Dao, Sales Specialist - Financial Services Manager, stepped in and made sure everything Kerri Hope had said was carried out. Again no pressure to upsell anything. Answered any questions we had. Again, another person happy to be where he was and showed great professionalism in doing his job!!! If the Service Department is even close to the commitment to excellence, friendly professional approach, attention to the tiniest detail and no upsell as the initial team we have dealt with it would truly deserve the Five Star Rating we are giving them. Never thought it would happen that we would find a dealership where we would buy vehicles from for the rest of our lives. It just may happened!!! Thank you for everything!!! More

A 45min. wait in the The only negative was the length of time spent waiting for the finance dept to sign off so that we could leave with our new car. A 45min. wait in the Finance Dept, on a cash deal, with several offices with no clients is not acceptable. More

Wow! These guys are amazing. Our experience at Charlesglen Toyota has exceeded all expectations. No longer does buying a car need to feel like a sleezy transaction. We were trea Our experience at Charlesglen Toyota has exceeded all expectations. No longer does buying a car need to feel like a sleezy transaction. We were treated with respect from first contact through vehicle delivery. The sales team was open and honest, with nothing hidden. They didn't employ any of the high pressure sales tactics like so many dealers do. It actually felt like we were working together to get the best deal possible. Finance department was on the ball with the same level of service. Jim did an amazing job walking us through the vehicles features and getting us all set up during vehicle delivery. He was also a hit with our three little ones ages 5, 4, and 1.5. Hands down the best dealership we've ever experienced! Check them out. More
