Family broke down in Charlotesville on the way back home to southern VA. Problems with steering…read morewere the main issue. They stopped here to drop the car off and they used illegitimate parts that totally screwed up the car. They were uncommunicative and completely avoidant. We paid using my credit card. Now we are trying to figure it out with another auto shop and this "business" is refusing to give back the money that they took from our family for a faulty job. Larry (the guy who actually threatened my sister), Amanda, Yasha (the owner who never answers the phone and avoids all responsibility) and the whole place need to understand that people in a desperate position shouldn't be toyed with. Having a con-artist auto shop threaten my sister, destroy our car, and hold our money hostage is a new low. UPDATE: It's strange to say this but they actually got a lawyer to pull down negative reviews from my family. How disgraceful. Law is finally at a point where con-artists are being defended.

Was a little wary to go here for an oil change for my car because I checked Yelp first and saw some…read morereally recent and really critical and negative reviews. Still, I have a long trip tomorrow and needed an oil change immediately, and everywhere else was closed for Sunday. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by the experience. The employees were polite, respectful, and professional. Despite being very busy with many customers, they completed the oil change quickly. They asked what I wanted done to my car and did not try to talk me into anything extra. The person who was manning the office was clear and helpful on the different oil options, their prices and advantages / disadvantages. The rate they offered matched what I had found online as a reasonable rate, and the entire experience was awkwardness-free, smooth, quick, and friendly. Glad I didn't let the bad reviews deter me and I would absolutely recommend this place!

I called them back and spoke with a gentle named Andrew Mahan and he was extremely rude and was blaming it on the age of my vehicle and made inappropriate comments and acted really unprofessiona.

Do not use this company. It's a long review but worth the read. Our experience with the company…read morestarted out great or so we thought. We chose this company because it accepts people with lower credit scores and my partner wanted to be able to build his credit and buy a car. We understood the consequences of paying a higher interest rate, but were willing to accept it. We had no mechanical issues with the car we made our monthly payments on time. We were told when we purchased the car that the company would pull our credit and send the monthly report to Equifax when we're making our payments on time. That did not happen. Neither one of our credits were pulled, and there was no report to any of the three credit bureaus that we were making our payments. In December, the car was involved in an accident. Because of the snow and ice and bad weather it was difficult to work two full-time jobs and collect the data needed for the claim. When all was said and done, the insurance company totaled the vehicle, and an amount was suggested. Because I was not the owner of the vehicle, I advised the insurance company they should make those arrangements with the dealership as to what they would accept. I put F&S Financial, which is the in-house lending company for Free Bridge auto in contact with my claims agent, giving the claim number the agent telephone number and her extension. Vise versa with the insurance. That's when everything went south. We did what we were supposed to do when the accident occurred. It was after hours, so we left a message and then we called back the following morning to report the accident to the dealership. I did so with TJ. The insurance company was contacted immediately. now that everything is supposed to be settled and done the dealership is trying to make claims that we never notified them. They're trying to make claims that they're not able to contact the insurance company for three weeks. They claimed that the insurance company wasn't contacting them back about payment of the vehicle. Within a five minute call, I spoke to the claims department got the total, made sure everything was signed off on and approved. Payment was mailed out the following day. In the meantime, constant harassing calls threats of interest rates for nonpayment, yelling, screaming, unprofessional language, unprofessional behavior in general is all we have dealt with since. The Manager TJ remained reasonable until today when he yelled and became disrespectful. He advised me that Sean (sp) his manager, was aware of my situation and listened in the background and did nothing. Our files have been documented improperly with Barbara at F&S Financial stating she was calling and leaving messages with the insurance company every day. I spoke with the agent who verified that when messages are left, it is sent to an email. She verified through her email that there were no messages in her email from them. To be "devils advocate " she said that there was a time when they were transitioning phones, but keep in mind I speak to them every time I call! They went so far after hours 6:30 in the evening to be exact as to call our phone blocking their number so when we answer the number they just hung up. They did not realize that all you have to do is return that call from your call log and it automatically dials the number back. So when we did so, a live person, Alicia to be exact answered the phone. She immediately started yelling and screaming that she had never spoken to me before and didn't know why I was calling and hung up the phone. We called back they would hang up. They are the most unprofessional, disrespectful company that I have ever experienced. They put on a nice front, but as soon as someone calls them out for being in the wrong the defensive aggressive behavior starts. Do yourself a favor and steer clear. You will find that most dealerships have programs for everyone with better rates.

Beware of Service Department - Always Get a Second Opinion!…read more On July 28, 2025, my 2014 Prius gave me a Hybrid System warning to pull over and have it checked by a professional. I was on Rt 250 heading toward I-64 in 93°+ heat, during rush hour traffic, and made the safe choice to drive to Flow Toyota instead of risking a breakdown on the road. Andrew told me to leave the car overnight for diagnosis. The next day, I got shocking news: Hybrid battery replacement: $3,291 Additional required repairs: $6,500 When I asked if I could just replace the battery now and do the rest later, I was told NO, that the car would not be drivable without all the work done at once. At the time, I was going through a horrific divorce, moving into a damaged rental home, and under extreme financial stress. I couldn't afford a second opinion, tow truck, or rides back and forth. I felt backed into a corner and ultimately donated my Prius rather than sink $10,000 into repairs. Later, as a former USMC mechanic, I reviewed the paperwork -- and was furious. The so-called "necessary" services were completely unrelated to the hybrid battery and would not have prevented me from driving the car: Fuel induction service + additive Coolant exchange (listed 3 times to pad the bill) Spark plug replacement (not due) Transmission drain & refill These extras totaled $5,008.12, NOT the $6,500 quoted -- and none were essential for drivability. After I emailed Flow Toyota, their manager Kyle did refund my diagnostic fee, but by then it was too late. I went from a 50 MPG Prius to a 14 MPG diesel truck, all because I trusted their word. Final thought: Don't make my mistake. Always get a second opinion before paying for major work. Don't let anyone pressure you into unnecessary services.

I used to be able to schedule maintenance appts through the Toyota app and now I cannot. I recently went for a state inspection and failed. I showed a friend who is a Toyota mechanic, with his inspection license a video the Flow Toyota service technician sent me and my friend told me he has never failed an inspection for what Flow failed my vehicle for. I was advised to get my car inspected elsewhere or call VSP about the rejection. I loved the convenience of Flow Toyota being close to my work and having the shuttle service drop me off is one of the reasons I stayed, but I will now be getting my maintenance done elsewhere. All of the staff are also incredibly nice, I've never had any complaints about customer service.
