When I talked to people in town and told them I needed a new car, many people recommended Barrette Ford. I am so glad I took their advice. I just picked up my car today and I am more than pleased with how pleasant and easy the transaction was. Jon took care of everything and even took care of some things I forgot to ask about. I will definitely buy another car here.

In the last 20 years or so I have purchased many Toyota's. I bought a new Sienna from White River…read moreToyota, at least 4 new (3 Prius, 1 Sienna) from Berlin City (NH), a used Sienna from Heritage, a used Corolla from Berlin City (VT) and now two cars from Handy. A new Prius Prime and a used RAV4. Up to 2010 Berlin City in NH was by far the easiest to work with and the best deals. Some people like car shopping and the whole experience where they believe they are making the best deal. Not me. I know what I want, I don't need to test drive it, I have no time for your BS. In the past only Berlin City would give firm trade offer and finalize a deal completely by phone or email. Then deliver the new car, pick up the trade and be done and gone in under 40 minutes. We once spent 3 hours at Heritage when we had already selected the desired used car from their website and had cash, so no financing required. Anyhow, I digress. In 2017 I had located a Prius Prime and secured a trade offer from Berlin City. I paid a deposit and then they were unable to obtain my desired car. I contacted Handy and shared the offer from Berlin City. They said we will match it and I was like, game on. I already knew if I tried Heritage, they would tell me to come in for a test drive and they would need to see the trade before committing. So I bought from Handy, September 2017. Then in March 2018 we wanted to trade our 2011 Sienna for a used RAV4 (2015-2016, low mileage). I downloaded Carfax, car gurus, autotrader, cars, edmunds and began the search. First up, Berlin City. They had an acceptable vehicle and offered $9,000 for the Sienna. The earth went on. I knew the "value" of the Sienna to be closer to $11,000 if I sold it and $10,000 if traded. My friends at Handy had a few used cars I liked and I told them I was trying to sell the Sienna for $10. They promptly offered 10, sight unseen and I was like, game on. After we had a deal in place, the windshield cracked. A big crack. I was pissed and assumed they would attempt to screw me by dropping the trade offer. They did not. There was no deduction at all. Color me happy. I'll be back.

TLDR: Handy Toyota told me they could provide me a new RAV4 Prime XSE with both a kick sensor and…read morehitch installed - the kick sensor would just be relocated, no worries. However, instead of relocating the kick sensor, they removed it and disposed of it. Now I'm out a kick sensor... and apparently they can't actually produce the car they sold me, one with both a kick sensor and hitch installed. In 2024 I was considering a new car, but only if it was the right one - information I shared with the sales person when I emailed to ask Handy Toyota if the kick sensor on the RAV4 Prime XSE worked with a hitch. Handy Toyota responded that "If you get the Toyota hitch they relocate the sensor so its nothing to worry about. Aftermarket ones wont do that." I relied on their expertise as a Toyota dealership to my own detriment, as it turns out this is NOT true. After some run around, and a complaint to the VT AGO CAP, asking them to show me where my kick sensor was now located, as I hadn't been able to work it since the hitch was installed, the General Manager of Handy Toyota acknowledged that the kick sensors "are not able to be relocated on the Rav 4 Prime" and that my kick sensor was "physically removed and disposed of at the time of the hitch installation." The only explanation I have received from Handy Toyota for why their sales person misrepresented the compatibility of the kick sensor and hitch on the 2024 RAV4 Prime XSE was that "the technology in these vehicles is complex and ever changing." It took Handy Toyota approximately six months to provide me this rationale. I have not received an explanation from Handy Toyota for why nobody reached out to me to confirm that I did not want my $340 kick sensor returned as I'd specifically requested the four blank lug nuts that my new locking ones were replacing. I paid for those, and I paid for my kick sensor. After sharing a draft of this review with Handy Toyota to contest, they made a limited offer to buy my car back; however, they still won't provide a replacement kick sensor (nor reimbursement, outside of the conditions they've stipulated) for the one they told me would be relocated, but instead was removed from my car. Handy Toyota will only provide a replacement kick sensor in conjunction with their removal of my hitch and returning my 2024 RAV4 Prime XSE to original stock as well as a refund for the hitch and installation labor determined by them, plus they'd pick up and drop off my car while leaving me with one of their loaners. I don't trust them and I won't have them work on my car, even if it means eating the costs and getting the work done elsewhere. If you are looking for Toyota sales or service, I recommend skipping this option.

I have done multiple leases through these guys with good experiences. Just recently, I was called…read moreinto recall software. Right after that, I started getting check engine lights wiper blades not working brake sensors. After getting it checked out, they explained there was a mouse nest in my wiper blade which I accepted that's on me. But explained that my brake sensor was kicked off, even though my brakes still have life on them and I need to replace all the brakes for $700. It seems to be like a factory issue to kick off sensors when the pads are still fine. This is my only negative experience. It is odd to me that all this happens after a software update. they said I can not fix the sensor without all new pads and rotors. The main reason I'm frustrated is because this is a new lease a little over a year with 19,000 miles on the truck that I got brand new. A big selling point when they sold me this truck was the brakes and tires are rated for longer than my lease so I will not have to change either.
