I had an appointment with the service department to have my car serviced. When I arrived not one person greeted or even looked at me (I am unsure if this is how the service department works but it was my first visit and was unsure of where to go). When I went up to someone for help, they were asked me what I was there for. I told them that I was there for my car to be serviced, I had gotten my oil changed else where and wanted to ensure that my car was running smoothly. They asked me again why I was there, and what I was concerned about (they said this in a rude tone, but everyone has bad days so I wasnt too upset at this point). I told them again that I was there for my car to be serviced and that it is making a noise when on the highway. They told me it would be 150 for labor and it might take until 7. 20 minutes or so into the appointment they called my phone and asked where I got my oil changed, I told them Jiffy Lube and they said I sure hope they changed your oil (again unnecessary and rude). They then said Your check engine light is on, what do you want me to do about that? (I am at a TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I would hope that you would know what to do). I said that I would like them to make sure my car is okay and turn it off I guess. When i went out, It was as if they were a whole other person. They were happy, peppy, complimented my sweater. They then TOUCHED my sweater without asking, in the middle of a pandemic. Then told me that I need a new transmission. (for reference my car is a 2013 corolla with 107K miles) They said it would be almost 4600 to replace and do i have that money with me. I said I didnt. They then charged me 200 for labor ( I thought that it was 150 but didnt kick up a fuss). They had the tech come over and told me how to handle my car (which I did appreciate and is the only reason I am not giving one star). As I was leaving I heard them both talking about me, and how much they were going to make off the sale. I felt like I was seen only as a paycheck. I have never felt more uncomfortable in a dealership, and will never return. I hope that this dealership treats others better than the treatment I got.

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would.I was interested in trading in my old 2012 Dodge for a newer car and went to Fred Anderson Toyota because my sales person, Chris Paine, came into my store to buy some of my products! He proudly wore his Toyota name tag and we got to talking. He was laid back, passionate, and super friendly. Met him at Fred Anderson Toyota after my shift and he made the process incredibly natural and easy. He didnt make me feel pressured into purchasing a new car but instead gave me a lot of great information. He worked with my budget, was incredibly knowledgeable, and even spoke with me about things outside of cars. He was super relatable.Even the people who werent directly working with me (other sales reps, the receptionist, those in financing) were so nice and so welcoming.Im proud to say Im now the proud owner of a 2022 Toyota Corolla!Will definitely recommend Fred Anderson Toyota to anyone and everyone!

Updated Review: 9/7Brought our car in that very same afternoon and the service director, Shawn, personally greeted me. He made sure the issue was fixed. When I picked up the car, he offered me a complimentary detailing on next visit —but most importantly, he was sincere and apologetic and the car and car engine was clean! We appreciate the prompt gesture to make this right. Thank you for taking care of your clients!————————————Went there for service on 8/23 and they didn’t put the engine oil cap back properly. Had to find out today with a strong odor from our vents and white smoke coming out of our hood while driving. When we opened the hood this is what it looked like!

Fred Anderson is the best place to buy a Toyota! Very friendly, fair pricing, free oil changes for life. I’ve bought three new cars from Carl Anderson. He’s thorough, kind, and extremely professional. Thank you Carl & Fred Anderson for such wonderful experiences!

We had an excellent buying experience with Zeke. It was honestly the best car buying experience we have ever had. We purchased from out of state and Zeke admitted that this type of sale was a first for him. We said it was for us too and he said we would learn together. The whole transaction went so smoothly. Thank you Zeke and Fred Anderson Toyota for working with us. We love our new Sienna.

Lindsay Magnotti helped me locate the exact car I wanted. She made the purchasing process very easy. I’ve never experienced a better salesperson. Rickie in finance was also friendly yet professional. Absolutely the best dealership experience to date! Thanks to everyone at Fred Anderson Toyota!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is so comforting to have a trusted salesperson when you are making a big decision like buying a new car. I was so nervous in making this decision in the middle of this pandemic but Carl was there to answer all my questions and help put my mind at ease. .

My first conversation with John was more how can I help you, instead when are you buying. This guy was straight up with me, give me the information I was looking for and returned all my calls quickly. I would not hesitate to buy another Toyota from John. Love my black on black Limited Tacoma.

If you want to finance your car purchase, avoid Fred Anderson Toyota, because their Financing Department is messy, and their work style is disrespectful to customers.After having signed sales papers for a used Toyota Tacoma, my husband who is timid, and not fluent in English, was sent home without the car, which was located in Sanford, and without any papers. While the car was delivered to by the salesman later that evening, the papers were sent 3 days later. Upon review, we discovered that a $4000 was added to the advertised price of the car, for warranty and service contracts. Nothing like that was explained upfront during papers signing. The financing clerk who prepared the papers did not ask my husband if he agrees to that, she just made him sign. Our immediate phone calls to the department were sent to a full voice mail box. When we arrived in person, and requested removal of the non-obligatory warranty and service plans, we were treated with hostility, and the clerk tried first to convince us to wait 3 months before canceling the plans (no logic in that). My impression was that she mistook our non-fluent English with stupidity. Speaking loud and fast, and using professional jargon is typical form of intimidation. When we insisted on removal the $4000, she shoved a cancellation form towards us, and exclaimed you are done here!. No words of explanation (again) of what would happen next. Over 3 weeks later, this loan is still not resolved, not fixed.

Alfredo was unbelievable to work with. He was not salesy at all and had my best interest at heart. I went back-and-forth and he was very patient with me. He and his team were able to get me exactly what I wanted. He’s got such a nice and calm demeanor that it makes the car buying process much easier and less stressful. You’ve got an amazing employee!

I have been buying cars from Carl Anderson at Fred Anderson Toyota for the last 16 years, most recently a Rav4 hybrid. It is always a pleasure working with Carl. He has a no nonsense, no pressure approach to his customers that is rare and helps take the stress out of car buying. I also find him to be well informed and resourceful. He easily earns my highest rating.

My experience here was very good. I found a vehicle online, made the trip up there and ended up purchasing the vehicle. Everyone was truly exceptional to work with especially the finance person. Im rebuilding my credit and was willing to accept having to pay a higher interest rate to get the vehicle. The guy I worked with went above and beyond to get me the best rate I could possibly get. I ended up saving almost close to $200 a month from what I initially thought I would get. I was beyond satisfied and glad I went to Fred Anderson Toyota. I will tell anyone go here and if you have half the experience I did it will be a great one. I thank everyone involved in my deal for making it a pleasurable one!

I and my wife needed a car and started searching for a used one. We were getting very disappointed because the used cars market is very heated, and the prices are very high right now. Also, the dealerships we looked at before going to Fred Anderson, didnt have a good service. Their website was never updated and when we got to the dealership to look for the car, it was never there. One time they said it was on service, other it was on another location.When we got to Toyota Fred Anderson, I was immediately impressed with the location, the building was really nice and the lot was very well taken care of. As soon as we stepped into the building, Preston Elmer immediately took care of us. He offered coffee & water, showed us their options, and explained why we should have gone for a new car.After seeing the options and doing a test drive with customer service, it was a no-brainer decision. We ended up buying a brand new Corolla 2022. We did all the paperwork and left the store with the car in less than 3 hours.Amazing experience and it surpassed our expectations, especially based on our previous dealership experiences.As Brazilians that had never bought a car here in the USA, we were a little afraid about the whole process, but Preston explained all the details more than once.I would definitely recommend Fred Anderson to anyone looking for good service and variety. Also, a big shoutout to Preston Elmer for his service and for helping us making our dream come true.Thank you!

Mr. Toby Hunter (salesperson) was courteous and professional - making sound recommendations for my family to consider. Purchasing many new vehicles over the years; this was hands down the easiest and most stress-free yet. From selection, test drive, negotiation to financing took less than three hours to complete. Just a great overall purchasing experience!

Just wanted to take a few minutes to express my complete and total satisfaction with the service I received from Terry Underdue and Derrick on the work they performed on my Toyota Tundra. Its a used truck, but they treated me like I had a brand new vehicle. The personalized attention and A+ service was impressive and I plan on doing all my vehicle service at his location. Thanks for making people feel special and valued!

Everyone was amazing. They genuinely helped with no pressure to buy. I went in to just look at some cars and get some questions answered. The experience was so amazing I went back and bought my car. A week later I went to the service department because I thought I needed windshield fluid. They showed me where the button was and assured me nothing was wrong with not knowing. They even encouraged me to come back if I needed any other help.This was literally the best car buying experience I’ve ever had.

Such a great experience at Fred Anderson Toyota in Raleigh. Our salesman was Ricardo Morales and he was the best. We pretty much knew what we wanted but he helped us make our dream a reality. Our car was in high demand and it was difficult to even get a test drive. But Ricardo made it happen. I understand that a new car is a commodity and the same car is available everywhere. But the personal attention at the dealership is what makes the difference. Thanks to the whole team that made it happen.

After several months of searching, we finally found our 2021 Highlander at Fred Anderson Toyota (Raleigh). Fred Anderson not only had our Limited trim in stock, it was perfectly equipped, and priced far below what every other dealership within a 250 mile radius was asking.Alan Milliken-King was the consummate professional; answered our many questions, assisted us with our trade, and even came in on his day off to finalize the process!We appreciated Alan’s costumer service even more when, after leaving the dealership, he called to let us know that my husband had inadvertently left his prescription glasses in the door of our trade. Alan offered to mail the glasses to us, but thankfully we were close enough to the dealership to turn around and pick them up at the front desk.We drove off the lot with our dream car and a satisfaction not usually found when car buying. I highly recommend Fred Anderson Toyota (Raleigh) and Alan Milliken-King. They’ll definitely do you right!!

The service department continues to be slow. I’d recommend never planning to wait for your vehicle. I purchased my vehicle here in 2017 and have brought it here for all of my services. The times I have waited for my vehicle it has taken 5+ hours. Once for a routine 60k service and today for a nail in my tire and an inspection for a safety recall. Usually, the person that checks you in leaves or goes to lunch and someone drops the ball on calling you to let you know your vehicle is ready. Last time I was here I went for a run around the dealership and hung out for 4 hours. Every time I went to check in my service manager wasn’t there and someone said they would have him call me but he never did. Finally the last time I went in to check on the status someone said my service manager left a few hours ago and that my truck service had been completed a couple hours before. Extremely frustrating. They don’t care about customer satisfaction. Today I came in with a nail in my tire that needed to be replaced since it was under warranty I wanted to come back to the dealership. Had to make an appointment 4 days away, then I get here today only to find out they don’t stock the tires they sold me anymore and they will have to order a new one. Then they proceeded to tell me I had to drive home on my tire that needed to be replaced. Doesn’t seem like they were looking out for the safety of their lifetime customers. This dealership is only concerned about volume not quality.

I want this review to be helpful to both potential customers and to Fred Anderson Toyota. I have purchased 6 new Toyota’s from Fred Anderson Toyota in the last 18 years, some with trade-ins and all had been serviced there. I have spent thousands on accessories, tires and batteries during that time. I consider myself a really good customer and had always felt that I received great service from both sales, parts and service, along with Good trade in values and loyalty discounts. UNTIL the PANDEMIC. In the last 6 months I tried unsuccessfully to buy 2 new Toyota’s from Fred Anderson Toyota, but didn’t because I was able to save thousands of dollars from other dealers. The savings came from higher trade-in values and higher discounts off MSRP. Just 3 days ago was my last attempt and when I escalated my concern to the new car sales manager and indicated that I was disappointed that I had to work so hard at trying to make the deal work I was told “It’s just business”. I then proceeded to Carmax and received an out right buy 7 day offer that was $3000 higher than what the dealer offered. With that knowledge I eventually called and texted 3 other Toyota Dealers that agreed to the Carmax offer and a reduction off of MSRP of the new Toyota that I was trying to buy. Fred Anderson Toyota would not match the Carmax trade-in value or discount from MSRP, window tinting, etc because that “supply and demand during the vehicle shortage “ allowed them to sell vehicles at full cost. Well another local Toyota dealer wanted to “earn my business “ and matched the Carmax amount and discounted some off of MSRP, and no cost to me window tinting ($899 package at FAT). I feel terrible because my salesman worked so hard for me at Fred Anderson and I have had a long standing business relationship with him, and he is stuck in the middle without the sale. Fred Anderson Toyota advertise’s they are “The Family Store” which I assumed that I was part of a long-standing family, but I just found out this year that loyalty doesn’t mean you will be given any better discount’s than anyone else during this pandemic. “It’s just business” . My advise is AWAYS go to Carmax First if you have a trade-in to be able to have an understanding of the current market on your vehicle before walking into Fred Anderson Toyota. Check with other dealers in and out of the area on pricing. You cannot expect that you will receive a competitive deal at Fred Anderson Toyota just because you have been a customer for 18 years. In April of this year I saved over $3000 buying from another Toyota Dealer, and now will save over $2000 buying from another Toyota Dealer. This was a time consuming and stressful ordeal during a stressful pandemic time. So shop around because being a loyal customer doesn’t matter.

First time buying a car and it was a great experience from start to finish. Toby answered my thousand questions and made the whole experience fun! The focus wasnt to simply sell me a car, but rather to find a car that works for me. Absolutely happy with my purchase and the Fred Anderson Family Plan!

It was an experience for sure. If you come to the Glennwood(70hwy) location ask for Devin. He is one badass, honest, straight forward professional.Knowledgeable, funny, personalized service and goes the extra mile. Im pretty blunt, to the point and love cracking jokes and Devin was able to adjust his professionalism and adapt to the service style I personally was looking for and lets face it, stepping on a car lot of any kind is a bear trap.Youre food and the salesmen are hunters...Devin again made this experience amazing and gave me the space I needed and the attention.. My daughter is super happy and that makes me over the moon happy..Thanks Devin best of luck and I know I will see you on YouTube soon, now go talk to jeff!!!)

I would give Fred Anderson Toyota ten stars if I could. We have bought three vehicles from the dealership, and will go back when we need another. The sales team is great to work with, the finance guy is top notch, and the service team takes exceptional pride in their work. Its so cool that I get a video of my new 4RUNNER on the lift with the service tech telling me that everything looks good. Love it!

I want to brag about Toby Hunter with Fred Anderson Toyota. Toby was not the stereotypical Car Salesman that many people are afraid of facing when its their turn to purchase a vehicle. Toby was 1st class in every facet of the sales experience. From the 1st handshake, to the handshake after we had the keys, and all steps in between, Toby acted like he truly valued my family as people and not just another vehicle purchased under his name for the month. I never one time felt pressure from him to make any decisions...he laid out the facts, built the bridge to a mini friendship, and allowed me to make my own decisions with his coaching and guidance about the vehicle. Mike in finance made the final leg of the process truly enjoyable as well...what an asset he is to Fred Anderson. I have purchased 3 vehicles this year from other parts of the country on 2 of them and put Toby and Mike at the top of the class! Great job guys...you hit a homerun with my family and my youngest son with his new 4 Runner! May God continue to bless you both and the Fred Anderson team! Marty Waugh

When I bought my car from a small dealership the first time I had a terrible experience, so naturally I was reluctant to buy another one. But coming to Fred Anderson Toyota was the best place I could’ve gone! Very thankful for all of their help and working with me on the level they did. They made car buying a very comfortable experience and I 10/10 recommend to everyone who asks where I got my new one!

Bought our second car here since moving to the Triangle a few years back. We were actually able to find a comparable new car that was cheaper than a used option. The person (Cedric) we dealt with was great and are even considering trading our old car in for a newer hybrid option with better gas milage.The only criticism I can make is up-selling to an extended warranty. We understand that this is relatively standard in the industry but these nebulous options that add > 10% to the purchase price seem exploitive. We have experienced this with both car purchases and found it very off-putting. Just general feedback/food for thought for Fred et al here.

Review №43

High prices and lies are what this place can offer you.Went there to purchase a vehicle, salesman barely makes any effort to be personable and pretty much says that since there are so few cars, they sell themselves. Doesn’t try to sell the car or talk about features.Fast forward to talking about price, they show me a paper, okay not too bad but let’s see what kind of deal I can actually get.He leaves with the paper after I tell him where I want to be at. The paper he brings back is 3k over the previous page. And apparently the “MSRP” is the exact same as the final price of the previous paper. Strange. I ask for a price breakdown sheet to give him a chance to come clean. He leaves and gets the sheet. Same page. So I ask him why the price is obviously higher than the first number? Apparently the system messed up the calculations. Right. But it took me pretty much interrogating him for him to come up with that story or to come clean? Any salesman or dealership worth working with would admit their mistakes upfront. This kind of shady nonsense is unsatisfactory. Afterwards, he pretty much didn’t want to work with me since I caught them red handed. Told them I was working with another dealership, since they never asked and mentioned that their price was lower than you guys. He said prove it, okay no problem. Takes out the page and says they can match the final price. Yeah no thanks. I’ll get a better deal with more honest salesmen at another dealership.Long story short, they got caught red handed and then puffed up their chest to defend their ego instead of owning up. Don’t give money to people like this.

Carl Anderson did a fantastic job! I traveled from Virginia to the dealership and was well worth the drive. He already had the paperwork ready and made the process smooth and easy.

So stay with me on this one. If you get Dom as your sales person thats good. If you get Terrance as your sales manager request someone else. He will sales talk you, belittle and talk down to you. He will act as your best friend but I dont need friends like him. He told me miss information. He charged for tires on the car I was trading in even though I found multiple cars on the lot with less tread. My daughter loved the car whom I bought it for so had to really look past him and he didnt make easy to do. Sterling in finance is new but very good to deal with. Would I recommend them, I honestly dont know. I would say do your homework. Know how much your trade is worth (dont rely on there estimator), what APR you qualify for and check the vehicle over carefully. Make sure to get an we owe you if you find anything. Good luck!?

Cedric was great to work with. Very pleasant.

Review №53

I wish 0 stars were an option. I don’t want to give this dealership any more thought or attention than I already have; but people need to know how shady and crooked they are.My wife found a car she liked and while it wasn’t in stock, it was in shipping. We paid $1000 after being told we could get that money back if we changed our mind (got it in writing). My wife had absolutely zero intentions of every changing her mind. For one, new cars are hard to find right now and the car she was buying was her dream car. After very little negotiation we paid the deposit and had all prices and fees in writing. What could go wrong?? Well, after Fred Anderson Toyota received the car (2 weeks later than they said but likely because her salesman was on vacation), they informed us that they put options on the car we specifically said we didn’t want. Instead of removing the options, they instead said we’d have to pay for them and not even at the sales prices they were offering. Basically, I think they knew they could sell the car for more to someone else with all the options and for more money. Instead of honoring what they agreed on, they tried to make us pay more. My wife, sticking to her principles (as sad as she was about the turn of events), said she wanted her money back. Well, after 2 weeks, numerous calls and messages, fearing we were going to have to contact an attorney; a sales manager finally agreed to give the money back. They were not going to give it back and I don’t think they ever intended to do so. It was persistent calls and understanding we were determined to get our money back, that prompted them to what they said they’d do.In summation, most dealerships are shady with pricing and options, but Fred Anderson Toyota was hands down the worst! They wasted enough of our time and gas that I vow to tell everyone considering a new car about them.Salesman: Devon ScarsboroughSales Manager: JimmySteve Martinez is the sales manager who apologized and got our money back in 2 hours (while the other jokers put us off for 2 weeks). It was the only time we spoke with him.

Let me just say buying a car is a scary big deal to someone that has never purchased a brand new car before!! I got approvals from several dealerships in the area but couldn’t find a car. I got in contact with Joe M. and he changed the game for me! I missed my initial apt with Joe so I got to work with Chris P who was also amazing! The process went super quick and smooth!! They both definitely eased my anxiety with the new purchased and showed me all the cool things my 2021 Toyota could do!! Either one is great to work with so go see Joe or Chris!!!

Jody Fleming helped me out and he was amazing. Jody walked me through every little detail on how to navigate my new car. I had to get my new car delivered from a different dealership and was nervous I wasnt going to get it in on time, but Jody kept me updated the whole time and it arrived just on time!Great experience!!!

I give Preston 5 stars. He was a great salesman. He did not try and push me into something I didnt want. My Husband and I purchased a 2021 4 Runner Trail Edition. We LOVE it. Thanks Preston and Fred Anderson for a great experience

Bought a brand new Sienna and had a really great experience. Texted with Chris Paine in the morning, set a time to come in and meet him, was looking at the car 10 minutes after I got there, drove it home less than four hours later with cross bars added on. Oh and I had a trade-in. Would happily go back!

This past week I purchased a new vehicle from Chris Paine and I couldnt be more satisfied with the outstanding customer service I received. Chris welcomed me as soon as I stepped into the dealership and went above and beyond to get me exactly what I was looking for. Not only that, but they matched an offer on my trade in vehicle I got from a third party which simplified my car trade in / purchase process and saved me many hours. I appreciate the service and will most definitely be coming here for all my future services and purchases.

Duane made everything so easy for me with my new purchase. If you have questions he is very helpful and patient and not pushy at all! He cares about his customers and wants them to leave happy. I am thrilled with my purchase!

Matt Lowery was our sale person and he was amazing. Perfect balance of knowledge, honesty, proactive with searching WITHIN our budget and parameters, and yet let us breath and didnt pressure us. Found us the van we are most happy with, and was upfront with the challenges the market was going to present in finding it. Highly recommend my guy - who I never met til the day we drove up and were looking for a vehicle - if you want a comfortable vehicle buying experience.

Very pleased with our experience in purchasing a used SUV from Fred Anderson Toyota last week. Our sales rep, Marcus, was great to work with and went to a lot of trouble to ensure we saw the vehicles we came in to see despite their not being quite ready for the showroom so to speak. Also a kudos to both sales managers we worked with, Sterling and Taylor (I think those are their first names….sorry if I messed that up). They were both very pleasant and great to work with. Also a shout out to the service staff for finding and fixing a minor brake drum issue the day after we purchased. They were very pleasant about it and there was no charge. We are very HAPPY with our whole experience with this dealership and highly recommend them.

This is a great dealership to work with. Our sales rep Junior was knowledgeable and friendly. He knew what we were looking for and the type of needs we had as a family of 4. We are new to the Raleigh area but this will be our dealership for the foreseeable future.

I’ve had an extremely unpleasant experience at Fred Anderson Toyota. I spent 4 hours in their service center on Thursday because my battery light was on. They did not fix my battery and instead gave me two new tires and an oil change. Three hours later my car completely broke down. I have wasted hundreds of dollars and hours of my time here. Don’t waste your time going here. I ended up getting mine towed to CarMax where the experience has been 100% better.

Sales person, Jeremiah Graves, was a pleasure to work! He had great customer service, and was patient and fair in his negotiation. He proved to have my best interests in mind when it came to buying a car -- you cant ask for much more than that from a company representative.

Carlos is very knowledgeable about the vehicles. I had lots of questions about all of the safety features and he took the time to answer every question!! And I liked that fact that he didnt pressure me to purchase.

Had an amazing experience with this dealership! Both my significant other and myself purchased a car this past weekend, one leased one financed, both of which our first Toyota! Our salesman, Steven Bradby, was incredible both with staying in contact from our first test drive over a month ago, preparing over the last week and then day of this weekend. Between Steven and manger Ken, they really made magic happen for us! This was one of the fastest and most pleasant dealership experiences I have ever had. So very pleased with vehicles and am glad to now be part of the Toyota family!

I am in San Diego and really wanted a very specific 4Runner; dealers out here have hardly any and I found Fred Anderson of Raleigh watching their YouTube videos on 4runners. I searched their website and they had a ton of them; so I put my name in to request some information on one and within 1 minute Preston Elmer called me. I explained to him what I wanted and he showed me how to build online at Toyota. Then after we build it he said he find one or I could order it. They found one and made the process the easiest thing I have ever done to buy a car. He was great; the finance manger was great also. I highly recommend Fred Anderson Toyota.

I did not purchase my Rav 4 at Fred Anderson, but I do take my car for service there. Having independant mechanics in my family, I was always led to believe that going to a dealership would be super expensive and they would try to get you to do unnecessary things to your vehicle to pad the bill. I have had nothing but good experiences there and as a female, felt respected and wasnt talked down to like a child. I highly recommend the service advisor Enrique Rodriguez. Thanks for taking care of my vehicle well.

We had a great experience at this dealership! Although we had to patiently wait while another client negotiated on the car we wanted, the wait paid off. The salesman we spoke to contacted us promptly once he knew the car was still available. Thank you Sam Bokter for closing it deal!

Service and Parts Department Review ONLY:Tyron in the service department was awesome! Super friendly dude. Kept me up to date through out my service. Went over what I’ll need down the road for my car. Part department was very friendly. I ordered online, and they were able to get my filter pulled and ready for me that day while I was in for service. Will be back again!

Good work and fast service but abysmal covid precautions. Wearing of masks is mandated by Wake county. I can see enforcement being an issue with clients but its sad when neither employees or management cares enough to even try to protect their coworkers or clients. All employees had masks but easily 30% of them wore them under their noses or hanging under their chins.

Id like to give Salesperson Michael Johnson and Finance Mgr. Quetin Williams a 5-STAR rating. Both of these guys were very professional, patient, friendly and understanding, both with excellent personalities and positive attitudes. M.J., helped me to make a decision on a vehicle that I decided to purchase. I know for a fact that I havent made it easy for him. But, with his excellent professionalism I must say he did an excellent job in helping me. Im very happy with my 2021 Nissan Rogue SL. To anyone who is thinking about buying a vehicle, especially a Nissan please swing by Fred Anderson Nissan and see Salesperson Michael Johnson whom I highly recommend. I overall had an excellent experience at Fred Anderson.

I have bought 5 cars from Fred Anderson, 3 from John Lafabregue. I keep coming back because I feel like John has my best interests in mind when he works a deal for me. He is honest with me if he feels there is something I do not need and does not pressure me into buying. He is my go to guy.

Usually when I want a new car, my parents would just go find one for me. For my very own first vehicle purchase I chose Fred Anderson Toyota. I was superbly impressed with the professionalism of every employee at this dealership. Every step of the process was super easy and stress-free. I also appreciated the fact that each employee treated me (a 21 year old who has never purchased a vehicle alone before) as if I was any other customer. I would like to compliment Steven Grey for his professionalism and willingness to negotiate the best price for my first vehicle below my monthly budget. I am very pleased with my purchase and experience at this dealership and would recommend to anyone purchasing a new vehicle. I absolutely LOVE my CPO 2020 Camry SE and I will definitely be back to Fred Anderson when it’s time to upgrade.

I must honestly say that my car buying experience at Fred Anderson Toyota with the great, courteous, professional assistance of Marcus was one of the easiest and smoothest experiences ever!!! As a matter of a fact, when I found the car on the lot, Marcus was actually on break and he came right over when he saw me looking at the car and offered to get off of his break to assist, but I advised I would wait until his break was over. That very, very rarely happens that a person would offer to come off of a break to urgently assist a customer!! So I must say that his first impression definitely had me at least half way sold on the car before I even test drove it. I definitely appreciated his willingness to assist me off the gate. After I test drove the car, I noticed that the air conditioner was not getting as cold as it should and upon advising him that I wanted to purchase the vehicle, but was hesitant because of the air conditioner, he discussed my issue with his manager and I was assured that if I wanted to purchase this vehicle; 2013 Acura ILX, that they would make sure that the air conditioner was serviced first thing the next morning and the problem would be taken care of. Marcus made good on his promise and the air conditioner was working properly the next afternoon when I arrived to finish my car purchase. I definitely appreciate everything Marcus did to make my car buying experience one that was positive and memorable. I am definitely happy and overjoyed that Marcus crossed my path and was able to assist me with this purchase because I had been looking for a car for over two weeks already. He walked me through every step of the process and was there, on point, answering all of my questions and concerns from beginning to end. He also gave me a follow up call as well, to make sure the air conditioner was working properly and to make sure I was completely satisfied with my purchase and I am grateful for his concern for his customers even after we leave the car lot!! I would definitely refer my friends and family to him. He deserves 10 Stars in my book!!

In the market for a new Tundra, Carl was highly recommended by the associates with whom I work. I quickly recognized the reason why he had so many fans! Knowledgeable and having the ability to identify my needs; I felt very comfortable as Carl set the expectations and met them. It was a seamless, timely and smooth transaction.I too with confidence look forward to the opportunity to recommend Carl !

I had a great experience at Fred Anderson Toyota. My salesman was Allen. Allen is a very nice, he came up to me just as I was about to walk inside. I traded in my SUV that I just purchased this past October for a Prius. I’m definitely like cars over SUV’s. This was my first time at Fred Anderson Toyota and I was very pleased it was a nice atmosphere. I’m very happy with my purchase and all of Allen’s help.

I had the best experience with Fred Anderson of Raleigh. Duane has been working with me to make sure I found and got exactly what I wanted. With delays in the car industry right now he continued to keep me informed on when the RAV4 I was looking for would be in and if there were any delays. When my car arrived I was greeted upon entry and then helped with showing me the RAV4 and all the features it had to offer. Every associate at Fred Anderson was pleasant and professional and I would refer anyone to them when looking for their next vehicle.
