Only sales unfortunately. I've checked online reviews for their service department, and I haven't heard the best things. I make the trip to Courtesy Toyota, just because I have a bit more faith in them. Just don't let them wash your car, mine came back with micro-scratches all over.

I own an 07 Scion Tc, my experience is in line with what Mandy stated. I had a great experience at Courtesy Toyota. In the detailing world we call that the DISO...Dealer Installed Swirl Option.

Don't let ANY dealership wash your car, no matter what.

Second that. I have a friend who used to wash cars at dealerships. Its all about getting it done quickly. Your car WILL get scratched.

I have yes and it wasn't good. I brought my car in and told the service advisor I knew I had an oil leak because I was smelling burning oil. I had had the car for probably 5 months at that point. They claimed they checked it and found nothing but I later learned on this forum where to check (the back of the right cylinder head) and sure enough there was oil. I haven't been back since got the leak fixed at another dealer. Those clowns fail in service and sales the sales manager is an idiot, He did me a favor by being such a clown I kept looking for a better deal and got my frs at MSRP with no dealer fee. Anyway as far as my experience goes f$&k Stadium Toyota they are a bunch of clowns.

They have a shitty sales department though. When I was still deciding between the BRZ and the FR-S, I was invited to come check one out and test drive it. When I got there, they hassled the hell out of me trying to get me to apply for credit before I can test it out. Then their excuse for the $4000 markup was "we need to make a profit." It seemed as if I was a nuisance to them and they were trying to get rid of me. Then a couple of weeks later I got a phone call from them asking if I ever came in. I told them what happened and that I had ordered a BRZ instead. The salesman said "oh, great" then hung up on me.

This all happened June of last year.

Who was your sales person?

My mother-in-law bought a Corolla from them and we were treated very well.

I think his name was John. He's the one who spoke to me on the phone and invited me over. Though when I got there, he wasn't there. I dealt with some sort of manager and another younger salesman. Don't remember either of their names.

Just bought a white one and live in St. Pete. Let me know of any get togethers here soon.

Toyota of Tampa Bay. If they weren't so far away I'd take it to Sun where I bought it.

Just saw what looked like a 10 series FR-S with what I believe was a 5-axis wing at the MacDill visitor's center. Still had temp tags.
