  • Great sales person in Curt Gardner

    5 out of 5 starsby Lanasault on 09/01/2021

    Looked for days for a used vehicle for my son and this sales person went above and beyond, as far as being helpful. Curt Gardner was so helpful and professional at getting him approved and in a car the same day. Even brought it to us in the UP by a very nice driver who had all the papers for us to sign and be on his way. Between myself, daughter, son, son-in-law, and family friends I have dealt with a lot of dealers but was never treated as well as with Curt. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking and will certainly go back when it is time for my next vehicle. If I could give more then 5 stars I would as everyone I talked to there did their best to make it easy and stress free. Which in this day and age is something in itself. I have never seen my son so happy with a vehicle. Kudo's to you Curt, and Thank you for your service. 😁

  • Deceptive Business Practice !!!!!

    1 out of 5 starsby Deceptive Business Practice on 07/05/2020

    Neighbor and I set to lease Ford truck from Fernelius Ford and Ram truck from Fernelius Toyota. First Ford lease terms were confirmed by email and phone prior to arrival. Paperwork was being signed when it was noticed the term of the lease was 2 years not 3 as previously agreed upon. When noticed the dealer suggested it was a mistake. Neighbors lease terms changed and were considerably higher. BAIT and Switch !!!!! Next the Fernelius Ram lease .... salesman forwarded the window sticker of the truck and a negotiated set of lease terms agreed upon. On pickup day was told by salesman and General Manager the truck was " SOLD ". deal could not be completed. Investigated and the vehicle was not SOLD but was actually at another dealer down state. Could find similar truck but the terms would be much higher!!! BAIT and Switch .... would advise not doing business with this family of dealerships.. you've been warned !!

  • Fair service, but needs improvement

    3 out of 5 starsby DeighvClawft on 03/07/2019

    Appointment was easy, however other locations I've used in the past expect me if I had made an appointment, and don't ask why I'm there. Service took longer than expected, wasn't told there was free coffee until leaving, probably most disturbing guy at the end of my visit was actually rude, when I asked what service had been performed he seemed annoyed I was asking him questions, just wanted me to leave... other places wash and vacuum the vehicle.
    • Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with us. That is not the way you should have been treated by our service department. We truly apologize about the lack of comfort we caused. Because customer service, satisfaction, and comfort are all key values here at Fernelius we would appreciate if you reach out so that we might be able to apologize one-on-one. Thank you for your business and please don't hesitate to reach out, we look forward to hearing from you.

  • Good experience

    5 out of 5 starsby PattyandMo on 02/22/2019

    Salesman Todd was very helpful and straightforward. All staff were friendly and everything was explained to us completely. Todd also gave us a thorough familiarization briefing on the car itself- controls, seats, etc.
    • That is so awesome to hear that Todd treated you so well! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we will be sure that Todd knows how much you appreciated all his help. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!

  • Maintenance

    5 out of 5 starsby Maintenance on 01/16/2019

    We leased a new 2017 Toyota RAV4, or second through Fernelius Toyota in Cheboygan, Michigan. Part of our lease is our "free" maintenance services for the first 2-years or 25,000 miles. As they always have, we just stopped into the dealership and the services had been completed within 25 minutes or so. Great Job!
    • Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us this kind note about your experience with us! We appreciate your business and respect the fact that you love your Toyotas just as much as we do. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything else you might need!

  • Cheryl should not be the first point of contact when entering service area!

    4 out of 5 starsby Pam0826 on 01/11/2019

    Laurel super nice and professional on phone when I made an appt to have oil change! Came in to Cheryl and she seemed annoyed that I didn't pull all the way up... I had not been there before. I get out of my car. No hi or anything. She says what do you need.. I say I'm here for my oil change appt.. it will be $60 you know that right. Which I did because Laurel was so nice on the phone. I just don't feel like she should be the first person you see. I honestly wanted to leave because she was just so rude to me. Everyone else that I encountered was so nice! Dylan was nice and helpful the staff a Libby's was great as well!
    • Hello Pam, we are sorry to hear about your interaction with Cheryl. Something like this should never happen. We are always working to improve ourselves so we appreciate you taking the time to give us and Cheryl this feedback. Thank you for your business and the kind words about Laurel, Dylan, and our staff at Libby's. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do for you.

  • Bait and switch? Not sure

    2 out of 5 starsby Cheboygan on 12/22/2018

    Online quote was given but when I met with sales person they said they could not honor that quote because it was a mistake. Sales person was not at fault her supervisor informed me

  • Service, oil change, lubrication, check up

    5 out of 5 starsby Fernelius on 12/14/2018
    updated 12/21/2018

    Staff was prompt, polite, and efficient. The staff answered questions in a knowledgeable and satisfactory manner. Their work and service has always been this way. Their work is completely satisfactory.
  • Great service before and after the sale

    5 out of 5 starsby Bill on 12/20/2018

    Just purchased a 4Runner which is my second vehicle from Fernelius Toyota. The service on the RAV4 has been excellent, and the salesman, Jerry Kanka who sold me both vehicles is a man of integrity. He will not tell you what you want to hear, but always the truth. If he doesn't know something he will say so and then get the answer. No strong arm tactics, just sincere negotiations. Jerry truly does all he can for each customer.
    • Hello Bill, thank you so much for the kind words and your business! We will make sure Jerry knows how much you appreciate his honesty and expertise. Drive safe and please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!

  • Just the car at just the price!

    5 out of 5 starsby trishkon on 11/02/2018

    Our salesman contact, Curt Gardner, knew what we were looking for and found us just the car at just the price we hoped for. He bent over backwards, as did the dealership, to send us out the door happy, and now a RAV4 from Fernelius is sitting in our driveway. Thanks so much!
    • Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a kind review about your sales experience with Curt, and our whole team at Fernelius. We are so happy that you are happy! That's all we could hope for! Thank you for your business and please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

  • Excellent service in Cheboygan and absolutely terrible service in the Sault

    1 out of 5 starsby Traumatized on 09/05/2018

    I would never recommend buying a vehicle from Fernelius in the Sault. I bought an extended warranty and the Manager treated me like absolute garbage when I tried to get my car fixed..He smashed his hands down on the desk, told me I was an a**hole and to get out. Mind you I am pregnant woman who just wants what I paid for. I was absolutely traumatized and shaking. I tried everything just not to cry. I will never step foot into Fernelius in the Sault again. I don't recommend anyone ever buying a vehicle from them after how that Manager treated me. On the flip side, Cheboygan staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. They went above and beyond my expectations. Very pleased with Cheboygan staff. After the experience I had with the Manager in the Sault I am unable to give any great reviews below. As long as he is employed there I will never buy another vehicle from them.
    • We are so disheartened to hear about your experience at our Sault Sainte Marie location. We are shocked to hear about your experience up there. From our understanding of the situation, Newell was able to get you in the right direction after being unable to diagnose the problem initially. Glad we were able to get your situation turned around down here at our Cheboygan location. Diagnostics on vehicles can be very frustrating and we hope that you would reconsider giving Newell a second chance. If not, we totally understand and our doors down here are always open. I'm sure Newell would be happy to get things figured out for you next time you need our assistance. We appreciate you sharing your experience so that we can make improvements. Thank you.
