Jackson's Toyota/Scion in Barrie thoughts?
 

Hey, I'm looking at buying the FR-S at Jackson's Toyota/Scion in Barrie, overall they have been good with me up to date with all my questions and what not, but would just like to know if anyone has any experience with them before I throw down my deposit next week. Thanks

Usually everyone is nice to you, until you throw down some money in there face.

Than you're in their hands, lol.

Make sure the deposit is refundable if you are uneasy about it, but sounds like you are getting treated well.

I think one of our buddies in ESC, she got a red firestorm from there, no problems, waited a day or so. @Hotrice

A twin in Kirkland Lake? Do you plan to drive year round? If so, there may be days you will be shut in!

Isn't there a Toyota/Scion dealer in North Bay?

Just double checked, Barrie seems to be the closest, atleast if I need local maintainenance I can go the Toyota dealer in New Liskeard. (They told me it could be serviced at any Toyota dealership)

I'm not 100% sure yet if I will be driving it in the winter but probably wont be, as much as I'd love to, for the sake of the car it may be best not to LOL. Aside from winter, summer driving in Kirkland Lake is nearly just as bad with a low vehicle, potholes left and right. :thumbdown::mad0259:

While you are up there...
Swing by Barrie Subaru and see if you can drive one of the blue BRZ they have... ask to try the lowered one and see what they say..

May I ask why? Lol

Just checking! if they would let you test drive it I would be pissed +)

Taking delivery of that one in a little under 3 weeks.

I have mine serviced up there on occassion. Never any issues.

Ohh aha, well I won't be up there until May when the car is in. I'm doing my pre-order over the phone because I live 6 hours away but that's the nearest scion dealer :thumbdown:

barrie was good to me. both myself and good friend bought one.

no problems. delt with cameron. good guy, didn't try to push extra bs on me. recommended for sure.

It's lowered before you've purchased?? Huh?

I was kind of curious of that aswell. lol, maybe it's used?

Yeah I told em to keep the primacy's and install my lowering springs in exchange. Running my new wheels and tires up there this weekend so I can drive it home on delivery day.
It will be on eibach pro kit and my wheels on delivery day oops and plate relocate kit. My ride up there will haul the stock wheels minus tires and the stock springs home for me so I can take the long way home without worryin about that stuff rolling around in the back. A little over 2 weeks to go!!

I have Purchased 2 cars from Jacksons. My 2010 Matrix XRS and most recently my FR-S.

The purchase experience by and large has been fairly painless as I knew going in exactly what I wanted. In fact when it came to my FR-S I knew more about the car than the sale associate. But that didn't detract from my purchase experience.

Pat at the parts department was super helpful in kitting me out with wheels and tires which were installed prior to my delivery and Noel my sales asscoiate made sure that my plate relocation kit was installed instead of drilling. Also, Jacksons does not use any adhesive dealer markings anymore on any of their cars. Only dealer plate frames which is a plus in my books. I hate stick on dealer logos.

Where Jacksons really shines is in their Service Department. Mike is by far the best service advisor on the floor and Cindy is constantly emailing me service reminders.

Like I said, 2 cars purchased from them and three cars that get serviced exclusively there. I would and am recommending them as a preferred dealer.
