Quick and Easy!

I had a great experience working with Mark at Kolar Toyota. They gave me a fair price for my trade and I was in and out of the dealership with a new Tundra in less than 2 hours.

By far the best experience car shopping

I went in with a general idea of what I wanted to look at and I had SUCH a great experience. Within 30 seconds of me walking through the doors Sam had greeted me and identified why I was there and how he could best help me. Sam was so completely transparent with what he had in stock and what would be coming in and what time. He was great with weighing the pros and cons of what vehicle would be best for my needs, wants, and made sure I took into consideration the long term resale value of cars as well as what financing options through Toyota would make certain models a better choice for me. He followed up with me about the models I was looking at in such a timely manner while also not being pushy. He provided the best customer service I think that I've received from a car dealer. The dealership itself has taken so many steps to make sure that you as a customer are comfortable, especially during Covid. By far the best experience car shopping, both with car dealership and employees, that I've had in Duluth.

If I could, I'd give Kolar 10 stars!

My husband and I just bought/leased two 2020 Kolar Toyotas; the process was straightforward and simple, and both Mark and Maria made the delivery smooth as silk. A clean dealership, friendly staff, and awesome vehicles. If I could, I'd give Kolar 10 stars!

A happy customer who will return in the future!!

Neil Larson was my salesman and was awesome to work with. Very helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me get into a 2021 4Runner and I couldn't be happier with it. Bill in finance also was extremely kind and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Kolar Toyota to anyone who is in the market for a new vehicle! Definitely, a happy customer who will return in the future!!

Very friendly and knowledgeable!

This was my first experience at a dealership. We're a young couple and instead of taking advantage of our limited knowledge, they took the time to explain things. I had a positive experience but also just learned a lot about the process. I didn't feel pressured. We're very happy with our purchase. We worked with Ted Pavlovich. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Every person at Kolar Toyota was so helpful and pleasant to be around!

I originally had my heart set on a crossover and began test-driving vehicles in March at various dealerships in the Twin Ports. Mark was my sales liaison at Toyota then and I really enjoyed him over every other agent I had interacted with. Mark was knowledgeable, professional, and not at all pushy. I told him I wasn't ready yet but that I'd be back before winter for a car. I saw the new 2020 Rav4's on the road and started browsing the Kolar site for incentives. When Nicole called to schedule an appointment, I told her that I preferred to work with and through Mark. 9:30 the next morning, Mark and I were on the lot looking at the RAV4 inventory. I was already sold on Mark after meeting him in March and as soon as he opened the hatch, I was sold on the RAV4. The process was quick, easy, and warm. Every person at Kolar Toyota was so helpful and pleasant to be around. I will definitely recommend Kolar Toyota in the future to my friends and family in the market for a new vehicle - especially if they want a new RAV4!

I'll definitely be back!

This is the third vehicle I have purchased from Kolar and I have been so pleased with each experience! This last one, I worked with Neil Larson. I highly recommend working with him because he was not pushy, he gave me great information about the car I was interested in and also found answers to my questions! Everyone is so supportive at Kolar. For my first car, I had run over a screw and the repair team was quick to fix it and again, so great to work with. I'll definitely be back for my next vehicle!

LOVE our Supra!

Kolar Toyota is by far the absolute best! My husband and I can’t express the amount of gratitude we have for them. They made our shopping experience great- despite the ups and downs of our new Supra coming in. They had every opportunity to change the deal that we both agreed on, and many dealerships probably would have, but not Kolar! They stood by their word and we are grateful that they did. We love love love our car and Kolar made our buying experience as easy as possible. The entire team was fabulous and we will recommend them to everyone we know.

Best experience!!

I broke down 700 miles from home with a trailer attached to my truck. By pure luck I ended up getting towed to Kolar, and I can’t say enough good things about the service department and the sales side as well. Everyone was EXTREMELY helpful and courteous. It was by far the best experience at a car dealership in my life.

Best car buying experience of my life. Don was very knowledgeable and there was no pressure whatsoever to buy or upgrade anything, he just made sure we got exactly what we were looking for at a price we could afford. I truly felt like they just want their customers to be happy. Our new Prius is amazing!

Amazing Place

An amazing place to find and buy a vehicle! My wife and I bought our vehicles here. They were very helpful and understanding to our situation. Made everything easy to understand and were very accommodating to our situation. From the time we walked in the door until we left with our vehicles they went over and above making sure we were taken care of and satisfied. No one was ever ever pushy or rude to us. We are very happy and would definitely recommend buying a vehicle here to anyone. Thank again!!

Eager to Help

Our salesman was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, to the point of offering to deliver the car to our house. That wasn't necessary, but he did come to work on his day off to go through the instructions with me. All other staff were pleasant, eager to help. Salesroom atmosphere was cordial - loved the coffee and hotdogs! The Pit Stop feature in the shop is a nice bonus.

Above & Beyond

I was very impressed with the service I received on two different occasions. I had to bring my car in to have a couple recalls inspected. Everyone was very kind and pleasant to deal with. They even took me back in the shop to show me exactly what was wrong and why. They were wonderful at explaining everything to me and how long the process would take. The waiting area is very pleasant as well and relaxing.

Absolute DELIGHT!!!

Kolar Toyota is the only place to go if you are shopping for a new car or truck . I just purchased a 2018 Camry from the them . It was not your typical dealership experience. They really care. From helping with selecting the right car my salesperson was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks Damien. Maria in the finance office is an absolute DELIGHT, her helpful nature and willingness to explain everything to a guy with a lot of questions left me with a buying experience second to none. Thank you Kolar!!

Wish I could do more than 5 stars. I came from Appleton, WI to see a car I was interested in. I had been in contact prior to coming with Mike Sherwood. When I arrived he had everything ready for my test drive and from there on he made my purchase of my Kia Soul so very smooth. I'm glad I made the long trip from Appleton; I appreciate how helpful Mike was.

I do not usually write recommendations however I would like to share my experience at Kolar Hyundai , I was helped by a nice man Nick Toscano and he had a genuine concern to help me find what I was looking for with no pressure or upselling. It is refreshing to find a Dealership that wants to help you have a great experience and Kolar Hyundai delivers. The whole process from dealing with from General Manager to Finance Manager was easy. If you are in need of a Vehicle, Nick can help you with any New or Used Vehicle in the Kolar Family.

What a wonderful experience for me!

I brought my Toyota RAV4 in to see if they could get the tire indicate light off in the dashboard display. It had been worked on by other automotive places who couldn't get the light off. Even though Kolar wasn't sure either they gave it their best shot. The mechanic was great in explaining the problem to me. I had a dental appointment and their shuttle service was great getting me to my appointment on time and then picking me up. I was so impressed with the kindness of everyone. I'm now trying just taking my negative cable off the battery overnight. I did this at the mechanic's advice. I hope this works! What a wonderful experience for me! Thanks to the service team at Kolar!
