From beginning to end I have loved my experience.

From beginning to end I have loved my experience. Henry was fabulous in handling my salde. He has a great de.eanor and was very patient. Vincent was superb in how swiftly he had the deal done and was very informative with the options offered. Brandon was super nice in answering my calls in requesting courtesy shuttle and made a point to meet me personally upon my arrival. Everyone else (I did not get their names) were super helpful. What stuck me was how professional the sales staff was and extremely nice, willing to make sure I had my needs met. I have not bought a car in 13 years and have always loathed the process. This experience has changed my mind! Great work Koons Annapolis!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with the team at Koons Annapolis Toyota, LaWanda! We're thrilled to hear that Henry, Vincent, and Brandon exceeded your expectations after 13 years since your last car purchase, and we hope you enjoy the new ride for miles to come. Congratulations!

First new car service- easy in, quickly done, great

First new car service- easy in, quickly done, great people, especially Daysiah! My car was spotless when returned to me. If you’re buying, ask for Emmanuel- sincere, honest , knowledgeable and very low pressure, if at all.

Great experience

I have bought my last 3 cars from this dealership but this last one was especially rewarding. My salesman was Rich Gallena. He took the time to get to know me and my daughter. He helped me out when we had a small problem with the car. He made an appointment for me to bring the car back and said it would take 2 hours and it did. His boss Dan Reese was also very helpful. They were both very personable and because of that I will come back to Koons of Annapolis for all my future cars.

Unexpected blessings :)

We needed a car for my physically disabled son to drive after it became too hard for him to drive his Scion stick shift. In addition to great service on the Scion (thanks Kevin Biggam), so we could pass it along, Rich Gallena, found us a used car we weren't even looking for... but we are grateful it was available: comfortable fit for my son, in pristine condition and a great price. Rich assisted us over several days, was not pushy and was very thorough on addressing our specifications.

Koon's Annapolis

Talk about painless! I couldn’t be happier with my Koon’s of Annapolis auto purchase. My salesman Rich Gallena found the perfect auto to fit my needs. He was knowledgeable & made me feel like it was a more of a personal experience. He took me through the process in a positive manner which took the stress away that I was feeling upon by arrival. I needed some questions answered by the Sales Manager, Dennis Weaver & once again, my questions were answered in a very professional manner. I am close to retirement & I must say, of all the dealerships I’ve dealt with Koon’s of Annapolis was by far the most professional group I have ever had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle from. I want to thank all of you & once again, I love my new car!

Wonderful experience!

Thank you Rich Gallena for the amazing experience! We enjoyed our test drive with you--lots of laughs and a good time! This was my very first time ever financing a vehicle, and everyone made it a seamless and stressless experience. We love our car and plan to return when it's time to get another one :)

Love these guys!

I've bought cars from Koons Toyota in Annapolis many times over the years, and they never disappoint. Our salesman, Rich Gallena, was courteous, professional, helpful, and sincere. Really went out of his way to make us feel valued. I'm the director of customer service are a very busy state agency so I really appreciate great customer service. Dan the Man and Dennis Weaver (not the actor) have over 60 years experience between them and are experts on trade- ins and working the deal. Latoya, who handled the paperwork for our financing was efficient and a pleasure to work with. Side note - the upselling during the financing always makes me grumpy, but that may just be me. As far as I can tell from speaking with others, it's a common practice. I think we got a great used car for a fair price, good trade, and square deal with Toyota Financial, buts it's the great, personable customer service that brings me back. We live in Baltimore now, but I wouldn't even consider going to a closer dealer. They are worth the drive, and more!
