Toyota of Gladstone was willing to listen and commit Emileigh and her team at Toyota of Gladstone listened and were willing to commit to my wants and needs where no other Greater Portland/Vancouver deale Emileigh and her team at Toyota of Gladstone listened and were willing to commit to my wants and needs where no other Greater Portland/Vancouver dealership would but could. They used one sale to grow a dealer-customer relationship that will undoubtedly continue for years and purchases to come. The referrals have already begun, which will give Emileigh and her team the opportunity to cultivate similar relationships and build their local reputation. The shell game had already been played out elsewhere. The fact of the matter is that every customer wants something and not all sales teams really listen. I incidentally got more than I bargained for in the vehicle I purchased; no argument from me. Moreover I got what I wanted most: what I saw as a fair deal for my trade. That enabled me to drive my purchase off the lot the same night without hassle after a total of six visits and up to six hours each spent with dealers elsewhere who couldn’t deliver because they didn’t listen to my needs, they tried to dictate them. Emileigh treated me with more than respect: she treated me as a friend, not some Joe (sorry for the comparison all you Joes out there), and this hasn’t stopped, as she continues to assure that I am wholly satisfied with my new vehicle and my experience. I am. More

Easy and straightforward Gladstone Toyota was the second dealer we visited before purchasing and we are so glad we called around. I did all the prework with Jason via phone an Gladstone Toyota was the second dealer we visited before purchasing and we are so glad we called around. I did all the prework with Jason via phone and email. He was really responsive and straightforward in the negotiation. We came in, signed paperwork, got a tour of all the bells and whistles and we were off. We are really happy with the deal and felt like everyone we worked with truly wanted to make us happy. Someone already stopped me to tell me how great our new 4 Runner Nightshade looks and I was happy recommend the sales guys at Gladstone! More

Nice people, Easy going I was very impressed with the dealership from the time we arrived and still impressed after we purchased our new vehicle and headed out! I started my I was very impressed with the dealership from the time we arrived and still impressed after we purchased our new vehicle and headed out! I started my internet search with Jason Burdine but I failed to make an appointment with him to look at the truck we discussed and when I just showed up he wasn't scheduled to be at work till later in the day, so Mr. Chao stepped right up and was great to work with!. The dealership was clean and obvioulsy a busy place, we meet the shop manager we would work with in the future and how they work in team groups for better customer service. All the staff we worked with were friendly and non pushy! More

Easy, honest, choices in my best interest From the minute I had first contact with the staff I was greeted with the most helpful service I could have asked for. Charity helped set up my appoin From the minute I had first contact with the staff I was greeted with the most helpful service I could have asked for. Charity helped set up my appointment, Jason let me know what to expect, and Jason and Kristen made sure to get me what I wanted. Kristen catered to all my needs asking me what I wanted and let me take the reigns in my shopping experience. When I chose the car I wanted Kristen walked me through my options and all the options were extremely simple and straightforward. Everything was very transparent anytime I had questions on prices or options I was shown the exact prices and nothing was hidden. The buying experience was exactly how it should be everywhere you go. I got exactly what I asked for. More

Needed a used AWD Sienna, Toyota of Gladstone hooked me up. Did lots of research and determined a Toyota Sienna all wheel drive was the vehicle for me. The price of a new one was a little out of my budget, so I Did lots of research and determined a Toyota Sienna all wheel drive was the vehicle for me. The price of a new one was a little out of my budget, so I looked for a premium used model, and my search led me to Toyota of Gladstone. The friendly folks at Gladstone were responsive to me from the get-go, and they had the car I wanted in their inventory. They took my old car as a trade-in, and that process went smoothly. A very knowledgeable, responsive staff made for a great car-buying experience. More

Did right by us. Kristin was great to deal with up front but we ran into issues with getting the exact vehicle we wanted from an agreed upon location. After further di Kristin was great to deal with up front but we ran into issues with getting the exact vehicle we wanted from an agreed upon location. After further discussion in person Charity (Kristin was off that day but called in) was able to locate the vehicle we wanted. The next day the team got back to us on scheduling the delivery (vehicle had to come from a different dealership), paper signing, and vehicle pickup which Kristin handled great. I would have rated this a 5 but the team that supports Kristin and Charity need to be sure to give them correct information during the sale, prompt updates and thorough communication to not only the customer but to the customer facing sales team.

CA Resident Travels to Oregon to Purchase 4Runner Recently I purchased a 2019 Toyota 4Runner Off Road Premium from Toyota of Gladstone in Oregon. To sum things up, my experience there was fantastic Recently I purchased a 2019 Toyota 4Runner Off Road Premium from Toyota of Gladstone in Oregon. To sum things up, my experience there was fantastic and well beyond my expectations. The team I worked with consisted of Jamie Wheeler-Semrad, Charity Graff and Bryan Dowd. My first contact with the dealership was via e-mail with Jamie. From the very first moment she was warm, caring and patient with all my question....and I had a lot. I knew this purchase was a bit more complicated than most as I’m a CA resident buying out of state where issues such as CA & OR taxation, CA DMV registration, CA emission compliance and etc had to be dealt with and Jamie handled them all in a warm, caring, patient and knowledgeable way without any issues at all. The other complication is that I wanted the 4Runner set up in a particular way and she handled all of that in the same way which made the entire process so easy for me. I truly believe her motivation was that she simply wanted me to be happy with the vehicle and have a great buying experience at Gladstone of Toyota. Jamie, I can't thank you enough for being such a kind person and helping me get the truck of my dreams!! While working out all the details I also spoke with Charity Graff. She too was so helpful and nice which made things so easy. Actually, I think it's the culture at Gladstone of Toyota to be so helpful and nice....what a difference it makes! On “car buying day” I flew up to Portland and was greeted at the airport by Jamie. Once at the dealership she walked me through the entire process which turned out to be so easy and stress-free….and actually fun! One thing on the 4Runner I don’t like is the “chirp” sound that occurs when locking / unlocking the doors. After researching this on the internet I found out that it could be eliminated but I was also warned that only a tech (or someone with the correct software) could do it and apparently it doesn’t come cheap to have done. So I asked Jamie about this. Without any hesitation she takes me to the service department and we talk with the service writer. Next thing I know it's all taken care of......and get this…..no charge!! For the next step I was greeted by Bryan Dowd of the finance dept and he walked me through the entire finance process and explained all the warranty, extended warranty and other items available for my new 4Runner. No hard sale or scare tactics like I’ve experienced in the past. He was a delight to work with and we talked a long time about family, traveling and life. After his explanations I went with all his recommendations which I’m quite pleased with. Now it’s just the drive home in my new 4Runner…..I love it!!! I want to thank each of you for such a wonderful car buying experience and treating me so wonderfully!!! More
