Customer Testimonials
Everyone was nice. But 3 hours for an oil change and tire rotation is WAY too long. Especially when I made an appointment and was told it would be 90 minutes tops because I had a recall to fix also. I drive 45 minutes to come to Gettle then sit around for 3 hours and drive home another 45 minutes. The hallmark of good customer service is being mindful of people's time. If it were not for the fact that the oil change is at no cost since we bought the car, I would be accomplishing this chore much closer to home at a ... Read More

10K service, 37 minutes. I was initially disappointed that the waiting area didn’t have any power outlets, but I wasn’t there long enough to need it.
Easy to work with and they provided great customer service. Our sales guy Will was very helpful and so was the manager Jason. It’s our second purchase from there and both times it’s been great.
Most of the staff was helpful, but the manager i dealt with and ind of the finance guys were sharks. They didnt honor their word of an agreement we both signed, tried to sneak in a higher payment than that agreement, and ran around answering my financial questions. The manager also asked me if I was serious about buying a car after taking myself, my wife and my young child for a test drive in 2 different cars. Typically my family doesn't go to car dealerships to hang out or to utilize them as a source of entertainment. The final ... Read More

Above and beyond! Will Thermidor & Gettel Toyota restored my faith after a nightmarish experience elsewhere.
After driving 5 hours to Port Charlotte based on explicit online pricing and verbal promises—only to be met with severe bait-and-switch markup tactics, unexpected vehicle damage, and financing games—I was exhausted, stressed, and completely ready to give up on buying a car. (IT WAS KIA OF PORT CHARLOTTE)
On my way back north toward Jacksonville, I decided to stop at Gettel Toyota, and it was night and day. From the second I stepped onto the lot, Will Thermidor completely turned my experience around.

Great experience from first outreach, to negotiating deal, to driving off with full tank of gas and detailed new Tundra. Igor was great to work with. Good experience overall.
My salesperson Moody, was great! The staff were kind and professional. I purchased a 2026 Highlander Platinum AWD and I love it!
3 stars. The staff was helpful and I got the car I wanted. My disappointment was with the financing. We were told Chase's rate would be higher, but when I had my own bank look at the car, their rate came in better than the 7.89% APR (72 months) we were offered. My advice to anyone buying here: get pre-approved with your own bank or credit union before you go in, and compare it to the dealer's offer. I am now stuck with 15% when they stated that Chase would've been higher. Very disappointed, hopefully next time will be better
Always awesome professional and knowledgeable staff and service department they go above and beyond to help the customers
Thanks for great looking car autobutler and thanks for oil change!
Very friendly and explained the differences in cars Very helpful when showing features on the cars
I drove from Naples,FL to purchase my Sienna from this dealership. Not just because they gave me a fantastic price, but because of the respectful way I was treated on the phone by their entire team. I’m bringing my daughter to buy a RAV4.
(Translated by Google) I want to give a special thanks to Carlos for his excellent service throughout the entire process of buying my Toyota Tacoma. He was very kind, professional, and patient, answered all my questions, and helped me feel confident in my decision. The experience was great from beginning to end. I'm very happy with my new truck and I highly recommend Carlos to anyone looking to buy a Toyota. Thank you so much for everything, Carlos!

You can count on Igor and the team here to be honest, patient, and professional. Five stars
Beautiful job with all services the other day! John is great too!
They have done well. Only had a bit of confusion knowing who to speak with between the sales and finance office.
First time buying a car and honestly I had no idea what I was doing, but this team made it easy. Carlos was my main contact and even though he wasn't at the dealership when I came in, he communicated perfectly the whole time so nothing got lost. Adams was on the floor and was so patient, he even helped me plug my OBD2 scanner into the car so I could check the hybrid battery myself. He tagged along for the test drive and was also able to answer any questions I had about the car. He got my ... Read More

Disappointing Service Experience and Lack of Transparency
I purchased my 2017 Toyota Tacoma from this dealership, and I have to say that the buying experience itself went well. Unfortunately, my experiences with the service department have been a different story.
Over time, whenever I brought my truck in for the oil change program, it seemed that the visit would turn into a service advisor recommending additional services. I am someone who does much of my own maintenance and repairs, so many of these recommendations were things I could handle myself. What bothered me was the lack of transparency surrounding some of ...

Arrived early for 9am appointment and was kept waiting until 9:35 to check-in. Then sat in waiting area until after 12 noon for an oil change ONLY. Gettel is the only place the oil has ever been changed, but they claimed they needed to replace the oil plug because it was stripped, and charged me for it!
Exceptional sales and service team. Purchased two vehicles so far within three months. Definitely the first Dealer to look at when shopping again.
It was a pleasure buying a car from Gettel. Everyone was respectful and worked with us until we got the payment u could afford. Thank you Igor for all your help. Also kudos to finance.
Great job by service department!
We brought our 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L in because the park sense was not working on the front of the car it should have been a simple fix. There was one sensor not working we dropped the car off at 8:30am and got a call around 4pm telling use that they needed to keeping over night. We got a call around 10:30am the next day telling us what we already new that one sensor needed to be replaced and the bill would be over$1100.00. I did some calling around the part was another dealership told me the part would be ... Read More

Very impressed with a sales person by the name of Ozy. He kept working with us until we got what we wanted. Great service went above and beyond to find us the car we Wanted. The manager and the office people were just as nice. The only problem that we experienced was when we went to pick up our new car. It was not completely detailed like it was supposed to be. There was no flood in the windchill wiper container for tires. Each one of them had different air pressure. The floorboards were not clean.Would recommend GETTEL to ... Read More

Just a tire rotation this time, asked if we could get a car wash and was told yes but it didn't happen. Other than that, all went well.
Dwayne Moody really made our experience enjoyable and found the deal that we could work with!
Amazing service!!!
Good welcome, good customer service, the agents are truly professional.
I went in looking for a Rav 4 and saw the most beautiful color on a Camry and decided to buy it! I got it two days ago and it’s a dream
Thank you to Mr Trombley who was very helpful.
Excellent service,from financing,sales & servicing. Extra shootout to Lupe who was so patient & worked really hard to keep me in my busget
Needed to trade my 2023 Tacoma for a vehicle more suitable for Uber driving. Drove out that afternoon in a 2025 RAV4 with only 4,500 miles on it, and in the color I wanted (“Magnetic Gray Metallic”). Salesman, John Arrighi, was 100% professional, personable and fair, as was loan officer, Luxor - efficient, professional and friendly. Great experience over all. And, while I needed to extend the loan period (because the loan on my Tacoma only had two years left to go), my monthly payment is now actually lower than it was before the trade. I’d definitely recommend Gettel Toyota to anyone looking ... Read More

I had an OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE in purchasing a vehicle from Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County. I can’t say enough good things about my salesman, Chance Lingard! He went above and beyond every step of the way to make the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. His professionalism, knowledge, patience, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out. He took the time to answer all my questions, made sure I felt comfortable with my decision, and worked hard to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible.
It’s refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about their customers ... Read More

5000 mile maintenance service, oil change, tire rotation etc. Not 5 stars as after 2 hours I went looking to see if vehicle was ready. It was and was told "I looked for you."I was right in the waiting area.
Poor Customer Service and Lack of Transparency
I had a lifetime-warranty battery that was going bad, and when I brought my vehicle in, service advisor Michael Cartelli never explained the details of the battery warranty or discussed replacing the battery under that warranty. Instead, he simply told me it was “handled.” I reasonably assumed that meant the battery had been replaced under the warranty.
I also had other services performed, so I assumed the total bill reflected those services. A few weeks later, when I took a closer look at the invoice, I discovered that I had been charged the ... Read More

Gettel did a great job on our last service call. We were happy with the time spent and price. Thank you!
The experience with the Toyota dealer was very pleasant for me, first time buying a Toyota
I give 3 stars because my last service i found out they didn’t do the job i have an evidence but when I went back after 6 months for my service they didn’t give any charges . So always check your car after the service is done.
My sales rep. Murray from start to finish made purchasing a car stress free.
Kyle Roddick was our salesperson and was very focused on helping us get a vehicle that met our needs. He was not high-pressure in any way. He was willing to stay long after they were supposed to close in order to help us close our deal. We had a couple small things to follow-up on after delivery, and he personally met us and took the vehicle to the Service Department for us.
Wow what a pleasant experience best I have ever had buying a new car
This is my second purchase in less than 2 years from this Toyota dealership with the same salesperson. . Although I can choose from several Toyota dealers closer to me, I highly value great customers service and a staff that is ready to assist in all aspect of the buying process. Our salesperson, Murray, was great in eliminating any concerns/questions. Straight to the point and when required was my biggest advocate when it involved the sales manager.
More often than not what most dealership practice is "lip service". Safe to say it's quite refreshing when a dealership, like ... Read More

Awesome dealership. Awesome people working there. Very nice people. Had an awesome experience. Sales lady was awesome very friendly and finance lady was wonderful.
Igor was my sales consultant and super nice. He kept it real and I appreciate that - nobody wants to waste time at a dealership In and out within 2 hours - great experience
Too much bs !!!
We had a wonderful experience working with Lupe in the purchase of our new vehicle.
Chance was awesome to work with!!! He wasn’t hassling us and very upfront with all the details
Great pressure free service and he was patient with me to find the perfect vehicle
Went with my mother to change her side view mirror the technicians quoted her $1000 for a singular side view mirror when the part itself only cost 75 now I’d understand a little extra for the overhead as well as for the parts and labour however $1000 for one singular mirror is highway robbery you need this this this place this location needs to talk to their technicians and they need to get something straight when it comes to trying to scam people out of $1000 for one side view mirror do not come to this place if you’re looking for a ...

Didn’t do nothing in my vehicle. They were gonna order a part, but they haven’t called me back and that was a week ago.
As a loyal customer who has purchased multiple vehicles from Gettel Toyota of Charlotte County, I am extremely disappointed with my recent experiences in the service department. The overall quality here has noticeably gone downhill.
My biggest issues stem from a complete lack of communication and a glaring lack of attention to detail. When dropping off a vehicle for service, clear updates and thorough work should be standard. Instead, I’ve had to deal with poor follow-through and oversight that shouldn't happen at a dealership of this caliber.
Buying vehicles here has always been a solid experience, but the ... Read More

I brought my 2012 Corolla S in for the active safety recall. At the same time, I explained that the vehicle was experiencing a major electrical failure (ABS, Airbag, Brake, and Traction lights on, frozen odometer, and A/C blowing hot). I specifically mentioned that I suspected a CAN bus network issue due to moisture.
The service team completed the recall, but when it came to the electrical issue, they diagnosed a bad Steering Angle Sensor and Spiral Cable, quoting $1,982. They could not provide any trouble codes, and admitted they could not communicate with the vehicle because the CAN network was ... Read More

Final cost was about $350 more than initial price and it didn’t include all of the work I asked for.
My truck under warranty had several recalls. Dropped the truck off at 8 am was told the recall “fix” would take 2 hours. I’m grateful for the uber ride home. Around noon I started calling the service department and left several messages ( no one ever answered the calls) . Eight calls later I told the receptionist to walk to the managers office and figure out why no one in the service department answering the numerous messages and not once answering a call. I’m in the customer service industry and answering the phone is vital. At this point I would not recommend ... Read More

It just took this dealership a week to mount and balance “one” tire. I think they set a Guinness book record on slowest tire change ever done.
Try to charge for alignment and filter , brake fluid need none of them only have 20,000 miles what a scam that place is
Very disappointed with this dealer. I went for an oil change. I had an appointment and it took 2 to 3 hours. At the end the service writer said it took that long because they didn’t have a filter in stock. Also on the inspection report they noted that the brake fluid needed replacing (I knew it ). No one approached me about getting this done, I would have approved of the service if I had known and they could have done it while waiting for the filter to show up.
When I got home after buying the car it had a ... Read More

Never again will I allow a salesperson to go against what I want in a car!!! Was sold a 2026 bz not at all what I wanted and not once did he speak on showing me a Rav which is a WHAT I WANTED. I was screwed over and know not to go alone ever again.
Had one tire that needed to be changed. 3 hours waiting and $343.00. Get your Getel together Toyota!!!!
The customer service for the service department is completely trash. They have no communication with me since my car has been there for factory mechanical issue on my 2026 Camry. It’s been over 2 days and no one reaches out to me to let me know what is going on and each time I call no one can give me an answer on the situation. To make matters worse they did not want to give me a loaner because it was only supposed to take 2 hours for service that turned to two days. They sent me home promising it’ll be ... Read More

Had an appointment for 1pm for a software re-call and was advised by service advisor it would take about 90 minutes. It ended up taking three and a half hours. Wasted my whole afternoon.
Not happy with Gettel anymore. This is the 4th and last vehicle I'll ever buy from any of Gettels stores. I bought a used car that had 2 chips in the windshield. They said they'd get it fixed. The tech who came out to make the repair said someone already tried to replace it once and didn't do it right, so the windshield will have to be replaced. Now they are telling me they can't do anything further for me. I shouldn't have to use my insurance to fix this even if there's no cost ... Read More

I won’t go back ever again. My brakes were done fine, I guess. My appointment was 7am. I was early, but had to wait about 30 minutes for assistance. My car was not finished until close to 4 pm. It was brought to my attention that my tire pressure sensor was loose inside my tire and would cost over $600 to fix. When I said no the price was reduced to around $400. I still said no. I had hoped for a good experience but it was not.
Felt pressured to add service suggested items. Then while waiting 2 hours, service rep called and said our tires were down to 5/8 tread and since they were having a tire sale we should seriously consider having them put on now. We said no, and he continued to pressure new tire sale. Said no again and they said they'd let us know when th vehicle was ready. An hour goes by and we were never contacted. Had track down the service rep, took some time, he had gone to lunch. We waited 3 hours for an oil change! All because the service ... Read More

I completed a previous survey in response to this visit. Ive know received another request. Maybe 2 stars wasnt what yhey hoped for but attemptingbto charge me $800 for a part that they damaged is unethical, but likely great for business. I still ended up paying for almost double the oul change because a second oil change had to be completed when they cross threaded the oil plug.
Bad service intake my truck first week the truck have problems bad very bad bad bad bad bad experience no recommend
What a waste of my time and mileage ! They don’t want to give you the best deal.
Not one time has service been great with Gettle and would never recommend dealership! Every time I have to make several trips to get vehicle taken care of correctly. 62,000.00 car and they have made me hate driving it.
My experience there has always been good until this last visit. The service advisor called me to let me know the vehicle was ready and when I arrived to pick it up an hour later, he didn’t have the paperwork ready. He also didn’t remember my name and continued to ask me if I hadn’t picked up my vehicle already. He then offered me an auto butler for the mix up, which I am not going to have done. All I want is good service.
