Shopping for a vehicle at A-1 Toyota in New Haven, Connecticut? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask A-1 Toyota if a report is available for any listing.
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask A-1 Toyota if a third-party inspection is permitted.
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at A-1 Toyota.

In the early 60's, the owners of a local garage received a postcard announcing the production of a new four-wheel drive vehicle. At the time, the automotive industry was producing only one other vehicle in this category, so the owners thought this might be a good opportunity to introduce a new four-wheel drive vehicle that they would be able to sell as well as service. The postcard was answered and the response was the founding of the first Toyota dealership in New England and the beginning of what has become a very successful endeavor for Dominic Galardi, Anthony Buglione and A-1 Toyota.The h...
I have been buying new cars for over 40 years and this dealership has been the best to date. From my initial contact with James Hollar as the internet sales advisor, then Ugur Akdeniz as the sales consultant and then to Rachel Soto the delivery coordinator, they provided outstanding services and communication throughout the entire experience. The dealership upfront pricing is matched by no other dealership within my 500 mile radius. This family owned dealership is a gem in Connecticut. I think our new car looks great in our garage.
I would give love to recognize a couple of your employees at A1. Ugur for his professionalism and patience, he is great and the best salesperson to work with. Eddie for finance is amazing at what he does always makes you feel comfortable and make sure all questions are answered with no pressure! Gary Reis is great to work with making sure you are happy and satisfied working with A1 and all expectations are met! A1 is an awesome dealer experience! I will always refer colleagues, family, and friends to A1 especially the employees I recognized! They are what make A1 special! You will not be disappointed!
VERY BAD EXPERIENCE!! we agreed on a price and the day of delivery the manager hatim came to us and told us the price went up 25$ a month. Saying it was the bank even though I have great credit score. It’s so sad to be extremely happy to buy a car then this happen plus they showed us the truck and we loved it! Unfortunately I won’t be dealing with this dealership and I will steer family and friends away
I don't usually write reviews, especially since I was feeling down because my old car broke down and was totaled 🥺. I want to clarify that my English isn't fluent. I called Wednesday morning and they made me feel confident, but later Abdul called me back and spoke my language perfectly. He made me feel even more secure and created a very friendly, pressure-free atmosphere. He was incredibly kind and 100%. The process was perfect 👌 He even helped me transfer my license plates from my old car to the new one. I want to say that when I found out my old car was beyond repair, I was very sad because I had it for so many years, but when I bought my new 2025 Rav4, I was so happy 😄. You made my weekend great, Abdul! P.S.: I will definitely recommend this place, and if I need to buy another car in the future, I'll come back here 😇 Thanks you!
I came in for 4 tires and alignment at 9am and didn't leave until 12pm And the alignment wasn't done right the 1st. I had to come back later that day for the alignment to be checked and redone. The 2nd time the alignment was better and not pulling to the left. Not good I had to bring it back to be fixed when I raised my concern after reviewing my alignment sheet before leaving but was told that is all they can do. But they did better when I had to bring it back the 2nd time on the same day. This is my 1st time using this dealer but not sure if I will use them again.
