I realize this might not be a popular review in light of the Toyota recalls. However, I have to…read moregive credit where credit is due: O'Regans Toyota Halifax is far and away the best dealership with which I've ever dealt. From the moment we stepped inside the dealership, we were treated like valuable clients and not just someone kicking the tires. Bob Bell was our salesman and he shepherded us through the buying process seamlessly. From the test drive to the neogotiations, Bob was professional and friendly without crossing that line into the stereotypical smarmy car salesman. He provided us with tons of information on the car we'd selected (yes, a Corolla!) and acted as a liaison between us and the business office. When it came down to crunching numbers, he ran several scenarios for us until we found one that matched our budget. We started running numbers on a Wednesday evening and by 5pm Thursday, the car was ours. Bob came in early for his shift to ensure that the car was detailed and processed, just waiting for us to arrive and do the hand-over. I've had the car in twice for service: once for a tire puncture (which was repaired at no cost to me) and again for the recall service. Both times, the service staff were courteous and efficient; I was in and out before I could hardly start my book. Like I said, I realize that Toyota is getting a bad rap in the press - and probably some of it is justified. However, there wasn't a single issue at O'Regans Toyota Halifax and I have every confidence that they will continue to offer the high quality of service we were shown.

I had been a loyal customer of this Toyota dealership for more than 20 years, purchasing multiple…read morevehicles through the same salesperson. Unfortunately, after his retirement, my experience with the dealership changed dramatically. I dealt with Mike N., who seemed more interested in closing a sale quickly than answering questions or understanding my needs as a customer. My interactions with Sales Manager Adam G. were equally disappointing. I found him dismissive, unwilling to listen to what I was actually looking for, and lacking the professionalism I would expect from someone in a leadership position. On multiple visits to the dealership, he was often outside smoking, and when speaking with him inside, the strong smell of tobacco was difficult to ignore. It did not create a particularly professional or welcoming impression. I also attempted to address my concerns through General Sales Manager Michele, but the experience did not improve. Throughout the process, I felt pressure to commit to a purchase and provide a deposit despite receiving no clear timeline on when the vehicle I wanted would actually arrive. What stood out most was the overall attitude toward customers. Rather than feeling valued as a long-term, repeat buyer, I was repeatedly made to feel as though the staff were doing me a favour by speaking with me. The focus seemed to be on getting the deal signed and taking a deposit as quickly as possible rather than building trust, answering questions, or ensuring customer satisfaction. I remain loyal to the Toyota brand, but I will never return to this dealership. In fact, I ultimately drove to another Toyota dealer outside the Halifax area to make my purchase because the experience was far superior. After more than two decades of loyalty, it was disappointing to feel so unappreciated. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly recommend exploring other Toyota dealerships before buying here.

Having a need to replace my last car, and looking for something more reliable through a dealer I…read morefelt would be trustworthy, I completed a lot of research and concluded that O'Regan's would be my best choice. Filling in their websites quick form, I was surprised when they contacted me that same afternoon. The entire process of financing and purchasing my new car was quick and more importantly, painless. I have no problem recommending O'Regan's to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. I was impressed with the friendly, respectful attitude from both Robert Drohan and Tine Kidd, and will happily recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you both for making my decision and purchase a pleasure. My only regret is that I hadn't dealt with O'Regan's for my previous vehicles. #HalifaxAuthor

Buying a car is always a stressful situation for me…read more Up until last summer, i owned a 1999 Toyota Camry, and I loved it dearly. But, there comes a time in every good car's life where maintenance costs aren't worth it, and it's time to get something else. Things like this are stressful, and as of last August, I was in a pinch to have more maintenance completed or find a new mode of transportation - fast. So, I set out on a Saturday with a clear head, a focused set of demands for a new vehicle, and the hope that I would soon have a solution to my problem. The first place I visited was the O'Regan's Used Car Centre. The sales specialist that greeted me was Dean Cook, and he immediately was able to define what I was looking for and come up with some suggestions. I can't say I was the easiest customer to deal with, but he was able to give me some perspective on some options that fit my criteria. I visited a few other used car locations that same day, but nothing else was able to compare to both the service and options that I was able to find at O'Regan's, and before the afternoon was out, I had made a purchase from Dean! It was a bit of a sudden transition to be offered to take home my new toy for the weekend and finish the paperwork on Monday, but I obliged. The staff here are a direct extension of the O'Regan group of companies, so the sales staff have access to all the O'Regan lots and will bring cars to you, if their is something in their database that you are interested in at another location. Additionally, they take trade-ins, made sure my car was washed, tossed in some free mats and did some break work on the car free of charge when I noticed a couple things I wanted adjusted. I really valued the time and attention that the staff give each customer here - there's a tendency to visit other used car locations and deal with seemingly shady salesman, but not here. I'd consider this the first and best spot to look for a 2nd-hand car in Halifax.

After searching for a low‑mileage used SUV and meeting with several sales representatives across…read morevarious HRM dealerships, I found most experiences to be transactional and lacking the trust and comfort I was hoping for. That changed when I visited O'Regan's Nissan Halifax and met Mike Ansell. Mike introduced me to a low‑mileage Nissan Rogue Platinum and took the time to walk me through its impressive electronic features -- something I genuinely appreciated as a tech enthusiast. After a test drive, we reviewed the details of my Pathfinder trade‑in and finalized the purchase in a way that felt transparent, fair, and unrushed. Mike is a knowledgeable, trustworthy professional who listens to his clients and clearly knows his product. Following the purchase, I met with Kimberly James, who explained the value of extended warranties and corrosion protection. Kimberly is exceptionally knowledgeable and made the process of protecting my vehicle investment both informative and enjoyable. Thank you to Mike, Kimberly, and the entire team at O'Regan's Nissan Halifax for an excellent experience. -- David

Nissan had the worst service I've ever experienced at any shop!…read moreI brought my car in for a diagnosis they told me I need to replace a part. I did what they suggested, and it did not work. They MISDIAGNOSED the problem! I took it back in; they looked at my car again, agreed they had misdiagnosed it, ran more tests, and said it was a different part. So, I replaced that part. That did not fix the problem. It still does not work! Two MISDIAGNOSED, costing me nearly $900. I spoke to a manager who was unapologetic about these misdiagnoses and said they would be happy to keep looking into it and continue charging me. I am disappointed that the mechanics could not find the problem, and frustrated that the management would neither refund my money for misdiagnoses nor make good on finding the problem without charging me hundreds more. I am happy to pay for good work, but being charged for multiple misdiagnoses is unethical.

Not even an attempt to convince me to buy from them! The second time my fiancee and I came and actually planned to test drive a car we had found online, after 15 minutes in the lot with nobody as much as looking outside the door we decided to walk in. When asking about the vehicle the 3 salesman could not even get out of their chairs and hardly gave us the time of day. It wasn't until we said we "were" looking to trade for the vehicle that they stood up and started to try and help. The best moment was when I asked if the car comes with any warranty and the response I was given was a blunt and unexplained "yup". They may have great selection, clean cars, and a established name, but if you want to discuss price, or be treated like they want your business I would look elsewhere.
