    Just started bringing my 2018 Mercedes S-450 to Craig and he's a great mechanic- pricing was fair and my car was in and out very quickly and efficiently. I actually can feel my car driving better since he performed my service B. Thank you Craig & I will be back!

    My hat is off to Craig Cassidy of German Motors in Cotati CA. Just finished doing some work on an old 190SL.... Must say the work that he did do was exceptional! I actually cried when I drove her again because she hasn't driven this good in such a long time! Also teaming up with BK Upholstery whom did the soft top replacement! Zoom zoom zoom! I love it and highly recommend German Motors in Cotati.....

    I found a car I needed there. played it cool and worked a great deal with them…read more Daniel Saavedra was the saleman I worked with. No games, no stupid back and forth. I got a very good deal on my car, they bought my trade in and the transaction went very smoothly. One slight hiccup during the process extended the length of time spent at the dealer, they suggested I go get lunch and they comp'd it. During the final inspection after the detail we noticed a chipped glass roof. They replaced it, offered a rental car, or to pick my car up from my house and drop off the rental While the repair happened (a week later) They really took care of me. Solid dealer, very accommodating and friendly. Also trustworthy. Hard to find these days.

    DO NOT SHOP AT FREEMAN TOYOTA! DO NOT BUY ANY TOYOTA HYBRID!…read more If I could have wrote ZERO STARS I would have. I recently bought a 2026 Camry that is a HYBRID. I never in my life had issues with Toyota vehicles. But the hybrid model unfortunately had a recall once we reached around 5000 miles on it. And the worst part is due to the hybrid engine and it could cause loss of power while driving which is dangerous and unsafe to use the car, and even worse it could cause a fire which is dangerous and both issues could result in harm to me, my family or to other innocent drivers on the rd. I told them about the recall and they said they don't have a remedy and will let let know when they do but it should be in the first quarter of 2026 (January-March) which has passed. So they wanted me to drive this car feeling unsafe and stressed out because I'm anticipating issues with the car. But I told them I don't feel safe and because it's a safety issue they gave me a loaner. I guess the loaner was only set up for 30 days or so and I couldn't make it to renew the loaner and brought it back a week late. So they said they can't loan me anymore vehicles. I just live about 2 hours away and was not going to be in the area until a week after the date they wanted me to come in. So I came in to renew the vehicle and the 1st quarter of the year is basically over and still no remedy/way to fix our brand new car. And they wouldn't renew the loaner so they forced me to take the defective Camry they sold me or I would have been stranded. It is now almost May and other issues arose. Such as Infotainment system/screen going black while the car is on. And a jerk when the car goes from hybrid engine and the gas engine starts. I had my wife contact them to see if they would give her a loaner but they refused. And said they will look into the other issues when they have a remedy for the recall (that was supposed to be resolved I the first quarter). So they have us driving and paying for a car that we feel unsafe in, and can literally catch fire while driving. But we have no choice because they refuse to replace it. Corporate said the issue doesn't warrant a replacement?! But I hope nobody ever buys a hybrid car from Toyota. I know I won't be. I might never buy another Toyota to be honest. But the rental car department manager acted like I was trying to steal the loaner. The service manager doesn't like to get back to you, and also the salesman David who sold me the car stated he is going to look into it and get back to me but I have not heard from him since. This has been going on over 3 months or so. I don't wish this on my worst enemy. We're literally paying for a problem, and to use a dangerous/ unsafe vehicle. DO NOT SHOP AT FREEMAN TOYOTA! DO NOT BUY ANY TOYOTA HYBRID!

I have been researching cars like crazy and had finally narrowed it down to 2 cars. The Mazda CX50 Hybrid and the Crown Signia. I had about 45 mins to kill before I had to pick up my kids. Went in and Mark approached me and was super friendly. He backed the car like Austin Powers, it was awesome ( ) Any who, test drive went good. He didn't talk excessively. Which I really appreciate, since I was trying to really get a feel for the car. I had previously test drove the CX-50 and really wanted to see if the feeling was different on how both cars drove. For me the Signia just drove smoother. Acceleration was great and handled very nice. The interior was chefs kiss. Fast forward 40 mins, I had to run to grab the kiddos. They asked if I wanted to pick the kids up in the Signia, as a longer test drive. Which I did, my son walked up and was like why you driving this ugly car . Poor Mark was dragged with me through the pick ups, thank you again for being super awesome! Mark was very no pressure, I had told him about being on the fence between the two vehicles. He was very straight forward and NO pressure. He asked what it would take to have me drive it home. I told him what I would like to see on the deal, but didn't feel that the dealer would be okay with it. He said let's find out. Obviously they were able to, since the cars sitting in my driveway! I really appreciated the no pressure, from Mark, the manager and the finance guy (sorry don't remember their names ‍) But they were all super friendly, great customer service. Would I recommend buying from Hansel Petaluma? In a heartbeat. Just ask for Mark, you won't regret it! P.S. I've serviced my Van here and have never had any issue with the service department. They are great.!!

They were able to tell me what service I needed, what was included, and scheduled me in the following day. Everyone was super friendly, the cost was reasonable and I walked away feeling valued. I will definitely come back to this Toyota for servicing my Prius.

    Few experiences are as widely shared and fraught with challenge as buying a car for the first time…read more We recently shared that very experience and were lucky enough to find a place and a team of people who made it far less fraught: Hansel Subaru. Our previous cars were acquired from a family member and a trusted mechanic. We had no direct experience dealing with an actual car dealership. All we really knew was that we needed a replacement for our 2003 Subaru Forester, which had just been totaled in an accident. Injuries were thankfully non-critical, but we needed a replacement car and wanted another Subaru. After multiple fruitless and frustrating interactions with private sellers and others, most miles from our home, we discovered and reached out to Hansel Subaru. Andrew and his colleagues were cordial, empathetic, patient, and knowledgeable. In our climb up the mountain of first-time car buying, Andrew became our Sherpa, smoothly and efficiently guiding us to a 2016 Subaru Outback in pristine condition, at a fair and affordable. He even helped us return the rental we'd been using. And when he found out neither of us carried a checkbook, he drove us home in our "new-to-us" car to pick up our check. Used or new, where you buy your car, and the people who sell it to you, can affect your satisfaction with your experience as much as your choice of vehicle. I can only speculate hopefully about the rest of the Hansel dealership universe. But if you're seeking or considering a Subaru, check out Andrew and the team at Hansel Subaru. They made us feel as safe and comfortable as the car we selected.

It's a wonderful car, the best car I have ever owned. After purchasing it, I noticed two fairly minor repairs that needed to be done. I called Aidan (a service advisor whom I've known now for at least 4-5 years), and he immediately took charge of the situation and talked to Robert, the general manager, and Andrew (whom I've known even longer than Aidan), the service manager, and they both promptly approved the repairs at no charge. I made an appointment for a few days later, dropped the car off, they provided me with a loaner, and a day or two later, I picked up my car. I cannot recommend more highly the guys and gals at Freeman Lexus. They are honest, polite, do fantastic work and are super responsive. And Lexus is a fabulous car. I will always buy Lexus.

I also got internet bids from KBB, Carvana, Driveway and CarMax and Car Max offered the most. We ignored those offers though as we thought the car was worth at least $900 more than the Car Max offer based on KBB's private seller values. We waited until it became apparent it wasn't going to sell in the old tried and true way but the original Car Max offer had expired so I renewed it. They came back with a new internet offer that was $100 more than we were asking locally and $1000 more, oddly, than their first offer.

The entire experience was straightforward, none of this time wasting back and forth stuff a lot of dealerships do. We requested this specific vehicle from a location in SoCal. It was worth paying for it because again, my daughter loves her car. Why 1 star? In the vehicle image gallery they show 2 key fobs. When we made the purchase? They only had one and told some lame story the place the car came from has the other key in their lockbox. What? We left with ONE key fob which is really inconvenient and very stupid. Now we have to go to the Honda dealership to purchase a second key. This kind of loose end nonsense bodes poorly for their customer service as they've created an unnecessary imposition on a customer that just handed over a substantial amount of cash. This is why I will never leave Peter Pan BMW and will continue to drive BMWs as I have for the last 25 years. I expect consistent high level customer service without being inconvenienced as it should be wherever one purchases a big ticket item, like a car. One star. Do better. By a lot.
