We had a great experience with Tuscaloosa Toyota. Another Toyota dealership had a used car that fit our wants, so we went and looked there first…that was a mistake. From the first moment at Tuscaloosa Toyota, we were treated right. [Our Salesperson] was the BEST. He was never pushy and always professional. All he wanted was for us to be happy. He checked on us after the sale just to make sure we were still happy. Awesome place, great people! – Alisha
Excellent Staff – Easy process – Stress Free. My salesperson deserves credit as he was both professional and a great guy to work with. The sales process was less a ‘Process’ than it was a smooth and quick transaction with not an ounce of stress. If I buy another vehicle it will be through Tuscaloosa Toyota. – Rob
