Review of Mayfield Toyota

Generally you get a bit of a chill down your spine...

Generally you get a bit of a chill down your spine at the thought of taking a vehicle to a dealership for maintenance, but I've been consistently - and pleasantly - surprised here.

The people working here are friendly, and - most appreciated - honest, as I keep records of what work has been done and what I've done on my vehicle and it's a refreshing change to not be upsold all the time with unnecessary maintenance in a patronizing way. They're also okay with bringing my own oil, which is nice as I get to choose and keep my costs down a bit.

And they're quick, too, with a nice waiting area inside and a very generous coffee machine with pretty much every type you can think of only a press away. And if it's something a little more major than just swapping fluids, their shuttle service is handy - which is good, because the dealership itself is awkwardly placed with regards to bus stops.

It's always amusing to see just how busy they are when driving past, too, as the surrounding access road is packed with vehicles.
