Mr. Costello,

 I do not have a car to trade, but I did want to comment on the purchase we made on Monday. My wife and I bought a 2007 Prius from your dealership, and we were treated very well. We worked with Leonard and Artie, and we appreciated their low-key manner and the complete lack of pressure to do anything we did not want to do. Car buying is far from my favorite activity, but this was pleasant and straightforward. I want to compliment both gentlemen on the way they dealt with us, and you on the general atmosphere of friendliness we encountered at Rick Hendrick Toyota. I'd also like to note that your online sales staff was by far the most responsive of any we encountered during our car search. I came away very impressed with your dealership. Also, we love the Prius. Yours, Dan Oliver Raleigh, NC

Hello gentlemen.  I know this email is a little late but I'd like to thank you guys for what you did with the Rick Hendrick Meet a few weekends ago.  I went out with Jamie Hodge on the first meet 2 years ago and had a great time, but the one you guys helped host was a real experience.  I was very impressed with the turn out.  In fact, the campsite we were at was dominated by the club members.  I have nothing but good things to say about the reps/sales guys you sent out.  They did a great job keeping things organized and running smooth.  I also appreciate the free swag provided, drinks, food, raffle prizes etc.  I just wanted to let you know that you're guys were great and I think this was a really good turn out and I will definitely be attending any future meets for South East Custom 4x4 club and I hope we will see your reps out there again.  Thanks again gentlemen

Overall, this was a good experience and I would return there because of it. Normally car buying is not my favorite thing to do.

Ryan Motte was excellent. He made sure he did everything he could to accomodate me, and did not leave me unsatisfied. He also knew a lot about the car and was able to explain to me in depth with whatever question I had.
Bobby Brown was also excellent in my finance options. He explained to me some of the things I should consider having and why its important. I was very appreciative of that because I have had situations before.
Were you satisfied with the follow-up from Rick Hendrick Toyota?
Yes, I was called and got a postcard in the mail notifying me of my tags arriving. I was called a few times actually and appreciate that because they had extreme concern, and wanted to make sure everything was alright.
As I said before the service was ABOVE AND BEYOND. More importantly, I never once felt like I was getting shammed or fooled because I am in the military.
My car is exactly what I wanted! I cant remember who briefed me on all my features. But he was extremely polite and knew that car INSIDE OUT!
What aspects did you like the most?
How they worked with my budget

Dear Mr. Costello,

My name is Rashanda and I had to contact you personally to say thank you for giving my family a much needed chance. Saturday, June 14 08 my husband and I became first time buyers through your dealership. Just the day before, our second and only form of transportation failed us and left our family in a very touch predicament. Having never purchased a vehicle through a Name Brand dealership, knowing my minimal credit history and husbands tarnished credit reports, we entered your dealership doors carrying a little more than two mustard seeds of faith in each of our pockets. We were first greeted by a very polite and patient salesman named Robert Knox. During our entire visit, never once did my husband, nor I, feel as if we were being forced into a vehicle that was beyond our means, nor feel discriminated against due to our credit scores, because in all actuality it was the complete opposite. Talking with Mr. Knox was very easy as well as pleasant. Because of my desperation for a dependable vehicle for my family, it took everything inside of me just to breath and not break down crying during our negotiations or scream out loud, Please just give us a chance. He was so compassionate, understanding, and empathetic of our situation. We told him what we could and could not do as far as payments along with our wants and needs and he went, in our opinions, above and beyond what we imagined possible. Near the end of our visit, we met a gentleman named Mr. Artie Hall. Walking into his office, Mr. Costello, I felt as if I might as well had been standing in front of a panel of judges. Just in case, I had already prepared myself for something to go wrong, sir, and just when we felt as if our blessing was complete, he smiled and asked my husband and I if we could stand anymore good news. My joy and tears flowed uncontrollably at that point and it took me holding tightly onto my chair to keep myself from literally kicking off my shoes and doing a praise dance right then and there in Mr. Halls office. You cant begin to understand how your dealership has impacted our lives and changed our lives and changed our misconceptions of well recognized dealerships. I thank God for leading us to your company and for placing two beautifully spirited salesmen along our paths.

Forever Grateful, Carlos & Rashanda

Brandon and Earl, You two made my car purchase a wonderful and easy experience. I shopped around now - twice - for the cars in the area and  both times traveled to Fayetteville to buy a car from Rick Hendrick Scion.
Brandon Thank you for driving for a total of 6 hours to pick me up and drive me to the dealership. It was a pleasure working with these two men who have  set themselves apart from so many salesmen. They have the customers needs always in mind and they both bent over backwards to get  me into my 2009 Scion Tc - Which I love. Thank you - Tiffany A.

"I bought a car from Rick Hendrick Toyota.  The sales people and managers treated me fairly and were courteous. I had an excellent experience. Thank you Rick Hendrick Toyota."
