  • Mike Richards was great!

    5 out of 5 starsby Celia on 04/10/2025

    I gave had overall good experiences with Lia Toyota. But my last service was particularly so. I have a hybrid car and the fluid services are a little different than for an ICE vehicle. The brochure that Toyota puts out listing these services is not great - but that is Toyota not the dealership. On my way over for the 30000 mile service, I got a phone call from Mike Richards telling me that he had noticed the services ordered by a less experienced employee I had worked with needed correction. I saw him when I arrived and he sorted out the work order.
    • Thanks so much, Celia! We're delighted the value of Mike's support and expertise exceeded your expectations at this visit. We appreciate your business, and look forward to giving you the same high quality experience at your next appointment.

  • Great Sales Representative for LIA Toyota

    5 out of 5 starsby Barbara H on 03/28/2025

    I was very nervous about buying a new car and wanted to make sure I would be able afford the payment. I was not in a hurry to buy so I took my time and looked at different makes and models. After test driving different SUV’s i knew that I wanted another Toyota 4 Runner. My husband and I went to several Toyota dealers in our area. We ended up at Lia Toyota, Schenectady, NY. We met Thomas Pottenburgh, our sales manager. He was very professional and honest. I drove the 2024 4 Runner I really wanted and was sure this one was for me. Thomas met with his managers and brought us back the offer including my 2006 4 Runner trade. I signed the papers and Thomas took care of the rest. He also showed me how to navigate the electronics in my new 4 Runner. Many different features from my 2006. I would highly recommend asking to speak to Thomas Pottenburgh if interested in a vehicle at Lia. Toyota. I would also like to thank AJ who found a lower APR for my financed balance.
    • Barbara, thank you for your awesome review of Thomas and AJ! We're pleased they did everything they could to make sure your transaction was flawless. Congratulations! Best wishes for amazing travels in your new 4Runner!

  • Happy customer

    4 out of 5 starsby Dawn Williams on 02/14/2025

    I had gone online to check out the process of buying out my 2022 Camry that the lease was ending on and it was very confusing. I called Lia in Colonie and spoke to Joe Harrigan who explained options that I hadn't understood. We ended up with financing with an agency and with terms that were very good. Joe was very helpful.
    • Dawn, thank you for taking a moment to share positive feedback on Joe! We truly appreciate hearing from people who have been helped by our amazing team. Please come see us again some day!

  • Super Satisfied Customer!

    5 out of 5 starsby Harold Berben on 01/31/2025

    Lia Toyota is a highly recommended dealership due to the qualification and type of employees that are employed. First and foremost it was Kelly Pagano (Sales & Leasing Consultant) who was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to interface with from the initial offer until we exited the dealership with our beautiful new 2025 RAV 4. If it wasn't for Kelly Pagano I would not likely have purchased our vehicle as quickly and seamlessly as we did.
    • Harold, We are grateful for you leaving Kelly this stunning review! We are honored to have had the opportunity to work with you and we are glad that Kelly provided you with 5-star service. We are pleased to know that she was very professional, knowledgeable and made the process quick and seamless. We warmly congratulate you on your new 2025 Toyota RAV4- behalf of the entire Lia Toyota of Colonie team!

  • Top shelf customer service

    5 out of 5 starsby Tracy Derkowski on 01/04/2025

    Brittany Trabona scheduled my same day appointment when my power window wouldn’t go up and freezing rain was forecasted. When I arrived at the dealership I looked for her. She immediately advised me they were running behind and offered me a ride or a car if I chose not to wait. She made the whole process so seamless and called me two hours later to let me know I was all set. What a relief! Super impressed with the customer service.
    • Thanks so much, Tracy! We're delighted the value of Brittany's support exceeded your expectations at this visit. We appreciate your business, and look forward to giving you the same high quality experience at your next appointment!

  • Michael Richards was awesome

    5 out of 5 starsby Sherri S on 01/02/2025

    Michael Richards took the time with my vehicle and laid out all suggestions and prices and what was urgent and what could wait. He checked in and was accessible for my questions. He applied the coupons I had from online and arranged for a ride to pick up my car when it was completed as I did not have one with my husband having just had surgery. Prices were reasonable and I really liked being able to review everything in a written form.
    • Sherri, we're happy Michael's attention and expertise helped you have a very positive experience at Lia Toyota. Thank you so much for your excellent feedback. Safe travels until we see you next time!

  • Great experience with Mike Richards for Lia Toyota

    5 out of 5 starsby Celia on 12/10/2024

    This was a simple 25000 mile service, but it was just under so it was time to buy a maintenance contract. Big Toyota has made some changes in how they sell this product that really do not work well for a high mileage driver like myself. However I got excellent advice from Mike about how to work with the new terms.
