Man this thread is eye opening . How and why are so many dealerships so bad ?

HA! I was going to recommend them. We drive there after having multiple horrible experiences at Koons in Tyson’s.

We are in Silver Spring. The car is under warranty with Toyota for two years so I wanted to do the service at a Toyota dealership it’s still covered under warranty . After that point I will look for a good service station .

Looked up the above site for Fairfax and all the reviews were very old, like 10+ years old, and there were very few of them. Just btw

Find a good mechanic. Where are you located? We can recommend some!

I like to use the Cartalk website, they have a database of highly recommended auto mechanics. (I think it's their "Mechan-X Files")

Which mechanics in the Bethesda/Potomac/Rockville area do you recommend? My family drive Hondas and Toyotas.

Darcars is the worst!

I am not looking to buy the car. I already did...that is how I know DARCARS is dreadful....

I am looking for someone to service the car I just bought. I am hoping to find someone in the local area that does not have 1 star reviews on Yelp. Thanks for insight. I should have specified for service.

Doesn't CarMax sell Toyotas? I'd try them.

Buying new? Just send request for quotes to 5 or 6 area dealers and see who responds and how...will give you great insight. If they won't give you a full quote unless you come in, skip.

Jim Coleman in Bethesda is better than DarCars. But it's still a dealership, so YMMV re: costs and quality of work. Their customer service and friendliness, however, is top-notch.

Can someone recommend a good Toyota dealership in the Suburban Maryland area? DARCARS customer service has been beyond incompetent and I am looking for a dealership that does a good job. Thanks.
