John Miglorie is the BEST
I followed John to Alderman's from Jerry's. He has taken care of at least a dozen of my vehicles and always done a great job. He continues his superb work here.Diagnosed the problem quickly, Made arrangements to have the repair done for me with a minimum of inconvenience. Fixed right the first time, fair price, minimum inconvenience-what more could I ask for?

So far, so good.
I've only been in every 5,000 miles for 25,000 miles since November 6, 2013. During this time I've had routine preventive maintenance done such as: synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles, tire rotations every 5,000 miles, road tests, fluid level/ drive belts & filter checks, brake pads measured for wear, rear brake inspections and adjustments & several other miscellaneous checks. I really liked the complimentary car wash that came after each 5K service. All the previously mentioned service was complimentary on Toyota. A new phase of owning a new Toyota starts in the next 1,500 miles when I must start paying my own way. Like the title of my review states: So far, so good. I think I will still have a pretty upbeat review in the next 25,000 miles. Best, Mike B.

Long time customer
I have purchased 4 vehicles at Alderman's and have been very happy. Both the purchase and subsequent service needs have been handled in a professional and friendly manner. I have no qualms recommending this dealer to friends and family!

I love this place
Neal Carlson was fantastic. I'm from NY and he never gave up on finding the right car for me. He even drove it down 6 hours to Long Island, NY for me. He also saved me hours of aggravation at the motor vehicle bureau, and was patient in teaching me how all the things worked in the car. When I was in Rutland decided to go for my first car servicing there, I was taken care of exactly at my appointment time, and it only took one hour. Alderman's Toyota was beautiful, very clean, spacious and had lots of parking. The service department was very well run. And the customer service was very friendly.

Good Service
This is my second Toyota that I had service at Alderman's. I have found that the service has been top notch. The service area is always spotless, the service advisers explain in detail any repairs needed. Looking forward to my next Toyota from Alderman's.

Like a good neighbor..........
My bride from Canada and I had our 02 Corolla serviced at Aldermans Toyota on Jan. 2nd and these guys were the best. Steve Burke was honest about our exhaust problem and gave us a referral and Robert Atkinson is still the old school service manager he has always been. The service dept. at Aldermans has always been their bread and butter and they proved it again this time. Canadien dealerships could learn a lot from Aldermans, eh? John Yates

Unprofessional, Overpriced, Deceptive and Cheating
Ok, so I bought my Toyota Scion XB from Alderman back in 2006. The buying experience was terrific. I then sent my husband in who bought a Toyota Tacoma. I then sent my parents in who bought a Toyota Highlander. I purchased the additional warranty for what I was told would be an extra 6 years. So, I figured I was covered for at least 9 years. After about just under 6 years (thereabout), of course the car starts having trouble. I called the Service Department and ASKED THEM HOW MUCH TIME I HAD LEFT ON MY WARRANTY. I was told that my warranty was up in September. Ok, so I made an appointment prior to my warranty being up. I went in and told them all that was wrong with the car. After waiting about an hour and 45 minutes, a guy came out to tell me that my warranty had actually run out a few days ago and that the repairs were necessary and would cost about $1,200. I was in shock. I explained what I was told on the phone, but they refused to help at all. I took my car back and went to my husbands mechanic. He fixed me up beautifully about $375 later. Everything fixed, everything working. Needless to say, my sister needed a car and she went elsewhere. We will never buy another car at Alderman nor should anyone ever use their service department. They are deceptive, ridiculously expensive and out to only fleece its loyal customers.

The customer is referencing a service appointment from September 11, 2012. The vehicle was diagnosed for several concerns. It was determined that the extended warranty had expired in June of 2012 thus none of the concerns would be covered. We diagnosed her check engine light and brake problem and gave her an estimate of $795 as indicated by the notes. The customer was not charged anything for the service visit and declined to have any repair work done at that time. The coverage and expiration date of the extended warranty is listed on the customer’s copy of the insurance contract. We would be more than happy to discuss what has occurred.
Deceptive, dishonest, Overpriced
So, similar experience as my wife. I called to make an appointment with the service dept as I knew my extra wrap around warranty was about to expire. When I called, they looked me up, saw my car in their computer and made an appointment for me. I went in and told them there was a squeaky belt and some other issues that needed to be addressed. After waiting awhile, they came out and told me my warranty had already expired. (Keep in mind they knew this when I was on the phone with them but chose to not tell me so they could get me in there). Then they told me that I had TWO BROKEN LUG NUTS AFTER THEY MESSED WITH MY TIRES. They told me that they did not break the lug nuts and must have been the last person that changed tires for me. They then told me how dangerous it was to drive with the broken lug nuts and they would fix them for $165!!!! Online, the lug nuts are about $8. I took my car back, promptly took the car to my mechanic who fixed the lug nuts for $25. They broke the lug nuts and ACTUALLY LET ME DRIVE AWAY like that. So many of my family have bought cars here, but none of us will EVER, EVER make that mistake again. Oh, yeah - forgot about the recalls. I called to have the recalls fixed and was told that they didn't have the parts (a couple of bolts for the first recall). As to the frame recall, they said they wouldn't ever look at it until next summer. As to the seatbelts, they let me leave with the broken lug nuts and the recalled seatbelts. So much for caring about your customers. I called Toyota in Bennington and they were SO nice. They said the parts were only a few bolts and please come in - they would take care of it right away. Guess who gets my business next?

The customer made an anonymous description of his concern. He also made an identical statement to another source allowing access to his name to research what had occurred. He made an appointment to have his truck serviced. He dropped the vehicle off putting the keys and the signed night drop off envelope in the night drop box, with a note as to what issues he wished to address. He was not present when the repair order was written up as he said. His extended warranty (repair insurance policy) had expired 10 months before he presented the vehicle for service. One of the services he requested was a tire rotation. To rotate the tires the retaining lug nuts must be removed. Two of the lug nuts on the LF wheel were jammed on the threads when it came in. In the process of removing the jammed lug nuts one wheel stud snapped and the other had threads too damaged to reuse. We use a nationally recognized labor time guide to estimate repair costs from Motor Labor time quide. They list the time necessary to remove the brake caliper, brake pads, brake rotor, replace the studs and reassemble at 1.6 hours time. The two studs and nuts from Toyota are $19.54 plus tax. The estimate given to the customer was in line with the time and materials necessary to do the repair. The customer declined to repair his car as is clearly stated on his receipt. I would be interested in talking to the repair shop that can do that work for his stated $28.00. The customer says that only “a couple of bolts “were necessary for the recall and that it was not performed. It clearly states on his copy of the receipt Job “D” the service campaign involving the seat belts was performed successfully at that time. The customer was accurate in that any frame work would be scheduled out several months. As for the information found in the letter, the estimate for replacing the studs and lug nuts are accurate.
