Writing this review here since it's the same ownership as the Sackville location, meaning you're…read morelikely to receive the same service. Long story short: I left an honest Google review about my experience, including mistakes made and how their salesman, Jayden, treated me. Instead of taking accountability, they immediately defended him. Jayden sold me a car with the wrong MVI sticker, ghosted me after I signed the papers, and left me waiting for communication on when I could pick up my vehicle. The owner refused to apologize, instead blaming my credit--yet poor credit doesn't explain an incorrect sticker or a salesman disappearing post-sale. This experience has ruined any future business from me and my family, despite my dad purchasing multiple vehicles from Race Auto in recent years. Rather than addressing my concerns, the owner was more interested in defending Jayden's character--why? A simple apology and ownership of the mistake would have gone much further than deflecting blame. Did they put a one-year MVI on my car when it should have been two? Yes. Did Jayden call and text at all hours and ignore my clear biweekly budget? Yes. Did he ghost me after I signed the papers? Absolutely. And when customers have issues, Race Auto LOVES to blame their credit situation, as if that justifies poor customer service and failing to follow the contract. The owner's response further proves their lack of accountability, significantly reducing trust in this company. They claim to help those with bad credit, yet the moment you raise a concern, they use it against you. If bad credit disqualifies someone from receiving proper service, don't market yourselves as a solution. I'm genuinely shocked that a business owner would respond this way--big yikes. My dad and I just put $30K into their pockets, and this is how they handle issues? Not our fault your mechanics don't know what year it is. Neither of us will be back.

Very poor service. Next time I will be going elsewhere, but this is my third vehicle from them this is the worst experience I've ever had. I would not recommend them. The promotion does not state if you get a good deal on a vehicle that you do not receive the $500 promotion

I have been to Carsville twice…read more The first visit was probably 8-10 months ago. I was in the market for a new vehicle and after spending a lot of time researching online, I had narrowed it down to a few options. I made a list of used car dealerships that had vehicles that I thought I may be interested in and decided to visit each one to get a closer look. I arrived, got out of the car, and walked over to the vehicle that I had seen online. One of their sales staff quickly came over and asked if there was anything he could do to help. I responded truthfully saying "No, I'm just looking around thanks." to which he responded "Why come out here and waste my time then? You can 'just look around' on the internet." and we left. Fast forward to present, my girlfriend is now looking for a new vehicle. We decided to go back to Carsville despite the previous encounter because they had 3 or 4 of the vehicle she was interested in. We went over and were looking at a few cars when a (different) sales guy walks over to us. He asked what our budget was, my girlfriend told him. After trying to sell us on a car that was almost twice our stated budget, he asked what he could do to sell us a car on that day. My girlfriend replied "I'm not looking to buy today but I think this is model that I want. I was hoping to take it for a drive." The guy responded "I'm sorry, we're really busy and I get paid to sell cars, not give test drives." It is worth noting at this point that there was not another customer on the lot the entire time we were there and the three other sales guys had just been standing around in a group chatting since we arrived. Once again, we left angry. We will never return.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Aggressive and low even for a used car salesman…read more After not being able to agree on a price with one aggressive salesman, another called me back the same day and accepted my offer. I even provided my Financial information for the deposit and arranged for delivery (I offered to pay in full also). Then a couple of days later right before the arranged delivery date and had heard nothing, I phoned to ask what was happening, I was told they would get back to me...and surprise surprise he never did.. so I called again and got another person who told me that they had sold the car to someone in Sydney!!! The worst part is... the car is STILL up for sale on Carsales.com!!! At the time, the salesman even told me that 'it was tough but he managed to get the deal - Approved by senior management'. AVOID AT ALL COSTS - NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

I have to give this place a one star rating because Yelp won't allow me to give a zero star rating…read more Heard their many radio ads and decided to contact them last month when I was in the market for a newer truck. I filled out the online application on a Sunday and received the normal automated email reply telling me I was approved and would be contacted the next day. I received a call the next morning from one of the salesman. After explaining the type of vehicle I was looking for I faxed him copies of my most recent paystubs. The next day I called him back and he told me that he hadn't received my fax. I told him that I was coming over to the area that evening anyway to look at another truck at another dealership down the road and I would stop in with my paystubs for him to photocopy. I always shop around at a few dealerships when looking to buy a vehicle so that these dealerships know they have to give me the best deal in order to make the sale. I stopped in that evening and gave my paystubs to the salesman and we talked for a few minutes while he looked over my truck that was going to be traded in. He assured me that he would call me first thing in the morning with all the details about a truck that was perfect for me. They had none on their small lot at the time for me to test drive or even look at. I left there and went down the road to Race Auto Group and looked at three trucks on their lot I was interested in. They offered me a deal on one of the trucks(Dodge Ram) and told them I would let them know tmrw after I heard back from Dealer Direct. The next day I waited until noon and still no call from Dealer Direct. I called the salesman and he said he was with a customer at the moment and would call me right back when he was free. He did say everything was good to go and told me a few details about a truck he had for me (year, mileage, etc). I waited until 4 pm and never heard from him so decided to call Race Auto and told them I would be over after work that evening to sign the papers for the truck we discussed the previous evening. Dealer Direct lost a sale because a salesman didn't call me back like promised !!! A week later I got a call from another salesman from Dealer Direct wanting me to come in and look at a new Dodge Ram on their lot. He also said all he needed was a copy of my most recent paystub and everything is approved. I laughed and told him how the original salesman never called me back after he was done with a customer so I took it upon myself to purchase my new Dodge Ram from another dealership down the road. After an awkward silence on the other end of the phone line he apologized and asked if I was happy with my truck from Race Auto Group. Told him I was very satisfied and said thanks for asking. First impressions mean a lot and this was my first and last experience dealing with Dealer Direct.

I have had very mixed experiences with O'Regans Chevrolet so the best I can give them is 3 stars,…read moreto my regret, as they have disappointed me too often of late. I had always heard good things about O'Regans on Robie so when I decided to buy a car from them I felt good about my choice. Perhaps my first clue that all would not be smooth should have been when I went in to sign the papers and pick up my brand-new car. Nothing was as the sales rep and I had agreed, and the "closer" actually left me for about a half-hour while in the middle of doing all the paperwork to visit with some friends and their dog who had dropped into the showroom. I was there for over 3 hours trying to get everything squared away. Unprofessional on their part. They had added a set of clunky-looking aftermarket locking lug nuts to my car which I didn't want but had no choice but to take. Apparently they just take one nut off each wheel and put these on, and don't leave the original nuts with the car. After my tire shop guy commented on them I thought I should be able to get 4 regular nuts to replace them. The hoops I had to jump through to get that done were unreal. I have gone back to them for regular service visits and a few warranty items. Regular service is generally fine, but I do not care for their service facility. It is old-looking, cramped, and the customer lounge is a section of the showroom at the other end of the building. It seems subpar for buyers of $50K-$70K cars. I also was unimpressed when, after a semi-annual service, they told me I needed a new air filter and that if I wanted them to replace it the cost was $91.00. That was outrageous and I declined, bought the filter myself for $12 and installed it in 5 minutes. But what struck me was they had mentioned twigs and dead bugs in the airbox, and they left them there after seeing them. I mean, really? I have had issues with them on warranty items. I had a problem with creaks and squeaks and left the car there all day for them to deal with it. At the end of the day they told me they couldn't do anything and that if I was unhappy I should call GM. I was flabbergasted, and did call, and that led to another service visit where they again failed to fix the issue. I gave up on them being able to do much after that. It seems either that they have problems with GM Corporate or that they just don't want to bother trying, I'm not sure. This just isn't what I expected. In fairness, they did a great job taking care of me when my car developed an engine problem suddenly and I was afraid to drive it - they took it in without an appointment, gave me a loaner, and were able to fix it in short order. That was outstanding. There was also an issue that their body shop dealt with and they were very good. Overall, I don't know where the issue is - whether it depends on who you are dealing with or if there is a systemic issue, but it gives me pause when I consider where I will buy my next car. My experience with this location does not make me feel like I want to do business with them again, but they own many of the franchises around town and I'm not sure if my experience is typical for O'Regans, or if depends on the brand of car. It's a dilemma.

I had one of the worst customer service experiences in Canada at this dealership. The staff showed…read morevery little respect for customers, and it seemed that many of the sales representatives had very limited knowledge about the vehicles they were selling. We recently purchased a vehicle from this dealership. They handed me the keys, but one of the smart keys was missing the physical emergency key. When I asked where the emergency key was, they simply told me, "That's just how it comes from the dealership." This explanation makes no sense. Every smart key is designed to include a removable physical emergency key. It is completely unreasonable to have a slot for the physical key but no actual key inside it. Instead of looking into the issue or trying to help, they repeatedly insisted that this was normal and refused to acknowledge my concerns. As a customer, I expected honesty, professionalism, and knowledgeable service. Unfortunately, I received none of those. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone unless they improve their customer service and ensure their staff are properly trained about the vehicles they sell.

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.
