    Didn't honor what they said they would do. Now it's going to cost me $1K after purchase to fix it.

    My wife and I had an outstanding experience with Toyota of Des Moines, and I want to give special…read morerecognition to Steve Henigan. Steve came highly recommended by our friends, Jim and Darcey Widmann, and now we know why. After shopping all over Des Moines for a truck, we encountered dealerships that either patronized us, hassled us, or made us feel like we didn't know what we were talking about. Some even tried to convince us that we couldn't get what we wanted. But when we walked into Toyota of Des Moines, it was a completely different experience. From the moment we were greeted, we felt welcomed and respected. Steve allowed us to choose the vehicle we wanted without any hassle. Every incentive was explained upfront, and the level of transparency was refreshing. What truly set them apart was their willingness to meet our needs on the trade-in. We were told by a Ford dealer (who originally sold us the Bronco) that we could never get the trade-in value we wanted, but Toyota gave us exactly what we asked for--no questions asked. Steve and the entire team at Toyota of Des Moines worked with urgency, respect, and professionalism to finalize the deal in a way that left us completely satisfied. This level of customer care and attention to our needs is what made us feel valued. Toyota of Des Moines embodies what it means to be a true car dealership. We are now proud Toyota brand loyalists and look forward to a lifetime of Toyota ownership, provided the company continues to deliver on its promise of quality in both manufacturing and sales. If you're out there shopping for a vehicle and struggling to find a dealership that truly listens and puts the customer first, look no further than Toyota of Des Moines. Thank you, Steve Henigan, and the entire team--you have earned our loyalty!

Do not trust anything they sell you and don't pay for anything extra when purchasing a vehicle. I would also highly recommend going to any other Toyota dealer.

Two months later, the weather dipped into below zero temps, we smelled gas fumes and the smell only appears when you're warming up the car and when it's really cold. Found out, Willis did not run the VIN number or fix the recall on it and will not work with us to our satisfaction. After 2 months, Willis told us the car depreciated $6500 which is 1/3 of what we initially financed since we now have to eat that money. We went across the street to Mercedes to fix the recall issue. Obviously, Willis did not complete a multi-point inspection on this used vehicle as they initially stated. I just found out $2000 more needs to be done to this car to pass inspection. I believe Willis knew this car had issues which was not disclosed, and passed it off to the next unsuspecting customer. We were told Mike Thomas would call my husband to discuss further. That was 2 weeks ago. They are no longer a reputable company if they continue to treat their customers with disrespect and lack of integrity. Since Mike doesn't feel necessary to speak to us, we just went to a competitor of theirs and purchased a new vehicle for our daughter. I will not return to Willis due to their poor customer service.

    Service like the "old days"! Porsche of Des Moines opened like a month ago. Gorgeous everything!…read more I am in Illinois and was looking for a new Cayman GTS 4.0. Closest one to me (and the only in the country spec'd like this) was 300 miles away at this new dealer. Called Kenneth Rice, the Brand Ambassador, and he told me I could have it for sticker, no ADM. There was no crap installed on the car that I was forced to buy which is the normal practice if you get something with no additional markup. He offered to ship it to me but I covered the nose in blue painters tape and drove it home. If I would've had time, I would've had his PPF guy cover the front end. His work looks top notch. Kenneth is a great guy that loves what he does. More importantly, he does everything that he promises, which is very unusual today. He sent me to see Carla Gillotti in finance. She's very nice and low pressure, again, unusual. It was such a great experience. I wanted to help them out, so I agreed to a couple years of prepaid maintenance, stuff that I was gonna pay for anyway at my local Porsche dealer. (I figured I saved at least 10k with the zero mark up) Overall, a fantastic experience, and I cannot recommend them higher. As an old guy, I have purchased approximately 50 cars over my lifetime and I can honestly say this was the best and smoothest transaction I have experienced.

Oscar (sales) and Roland (finance) were extremely friendly and helpful! After we got to know the car a bit we had lots of electronic questions and on a whim yesterday (Labor Day) we drove up to see if we could get some answers. We really lucked out when we pulled up and Alex Webb greeted us. We told him some questions and he said "I can help!, Let's get in the car." He spent nearly an hour with us. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough. He deserves praise for his customer service! We are actually a Ford family as Tom's family owned a Ford dealership in Iowa, but bought the Pacifica for family travel etc. We are really happy to find this dealership as they are so customer oriented!Thanks !

They won't hear what you want, right outta the gate. I specifically asked them wanting to do a cold start of the vehicle and yet they had warmed up the motor by the time we were there for checking out the vehicle. Not to mention lowballing your trade, and pushing a bunch of add ons. Lo and behold, the used vehicle I purchased ended up in shop running up costs in a few thousand dollars. The sales person didn't know the basic features of the vehicle, granted I'm not very proficient. But they struggled answering questions. Kept continuing to rush me with an offer. I understand their primary objective is to sell cars, but I've never encountered such pushy behavior while ignoring the customer's requirements and preferences. If you value your hard earned money, do yourself, your wallet a favor and steer clear of Stew Hansen. I see they're part of Ken Garff, not sure if all Ken Garff owned places are like this. I've posted the same review 3 months ago on google maps, where I got the same exact comment from the business as the one they posted. And I emailed them, and then crickets..radio silence.

The vehicle arrived on time, and I was notified it was ready to test drive. My sales rep was Andrew Nyongi and I can't say enough great things about that young man. He was responsive, caring, thorough, and just a joy to do business with. We test drove the car and it was perfection! A few days later, we arrived to purchase it. The whole process took less than 30 minutes. Best car buying experience we have EVER had! Based on this interaction, I would not hesitate one bit to purchase another vehicle here. The car drives like a dream and we cannot wait to take it on a nice long road trip. I will try to update this review every so often to inform of any issues, or hopefully, no issues at all.

The sales associate that helped me when my partner and I first walked in was very friendly. They confirmed my appointment and instructed me to sit down and someone would be with me in (this is important), NO TIME at all. My partner and I sat down and I looked around the store, envisioning a great experience. The entire building was clean, well staffed, and bright. I noticed most employees sitting at their desks or speaking to one another, so I thought 'wow, maybe I'll be helped right away!' Oh, how silly this assumption of mine was. Fast forward FORTY MINUTES LATER, several other customers are waiting while employees are chilling in the break room and chatting with each other at their desks. One customer is being helped by another sales associate. Let me remind you, this is 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday night. We ended up leaving at about 6:40 p.m. Why make an appointment when you have to wait nearly an hour to be helped? I'm usually not an unreasonable person. I'm not a Karen, and I understand employees should be allowed downtime. But it's just so frustrating to have to wait for that long when you see the store virtually empty, and you made an appointment.
