Several years ago I was driving past the Toy Store auto lot in Salem, NH and noticed a little green sports car on the front row that really caught my eye. So, I stopped-in to check it out and while there had the very good fortune of meeting with the brother owners, Mike and Dave. That car impressed me as a great and honest car - as did both of the owners! Our credit picture was a bit challenging at the time, but they "rolled-up their sleeves" and worked with the utmost diligence and integrity for us to arrange some very reasonable "feel good" financing. Thanks to their efforts that car now still comfortably resides in our garage!
The larger and much more important part of why I chose to write this review today is simply this: I have been a resident of this planet for more than half a century now and in that time have come into contact with many business people across all backgrounds and selling all multitude of products. In my view, in this day and age it is very rare when a person feels compelled to write about having a GREAT business experience with a particular company or people. So, I felt it important to due my part and to make a point of giving some proper recognition and credit when and where it was due. Each of these fine men at Toy Store Auto Sales did their very best to earn my trust, my admiration - and most importantly, my friendship over these past several years since I first came to know them.
This is a GREAT and HONEST family-owned business of good moral character and faith; one that truly rises way above the typical "used car dealer" mentality and norm or stereotype. Over the happy years (and many happy "Miles & Smiles") since, I have come to know Mike and Dave's mom & dad (the couple that started Toy Store many years ago at this same location and who are responsible for building such a wonderful business model for their children to own and manage today) - and their long-time, very knowledgeable, hard-working and friendly head mechanic, Gary and their additional, since-hired, very personable & efficient salesman, Adrian. I am very proud and happy to consider all of these fine people my friends now - so much so that since the first car we purchased from them, there is now a second much larger "family" vehicle that just came home from Toy Store to go into the garage beside that neat little sports car.
I would UNRESERVEDLY RECOMMEND the Toy Store to anyone who is in the market for a very satisfying car-buying experience - with an emphasis on genuine QUALITY, VALUE, HONESTY, INTEGRITY and GREAT PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE. I have come to know first hand that how these folks treat their customers - and how their customers feel about their dealings with Toy Store - is even much more important to them than simply "making the sale"! Try thinking that thought with the overwhelming majority of places you see cars for sale at - especially those selling used cars!
My sincere hope for this great company and for all of these fine people is that this review of mine will shed some very valuable light on a truly great car sales business! That said, it is also obvious from what I see on their lot every time I drive by (sometimes stopping-in just to say hello) is that Toy Store does a great job of acquiring what would best be described as Pre-Owned cars - the kind that they themselves would feel good about having a family member drive-away in. Needless to say, I and my family members are customers of Toy Store for life and I wish them all the very best personally - and for much continued success in car sales. SO.....Here's a BIG shout out to the Toy Store - and to the whole incredible staff there!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND CARE - AND THANK YOU FOR SELLING GREAT CARS AT VERY FAIR PRICES!! read more
