Customer Testimonials
We found the truck we were interested in online and emailed Checkered Flag. James McKee responded very quickly and we set up an appointment. We were impressed with how quickly we were able to go through the buying process. James walked us through the process with no pressure. He also set up our first service appointment for us. We feel like we got a fair deal and only have great things to say about James and Checkered Flag.
Came in looking for a Tacoma, ended up leaving with a SWEET deal on the new Camry, Tom T. ended up helping me find which Toyota best fit my commute, budget and lifestyle. Gave me personal advice on what he recommended based on what I was looking for, 10 stars for Tom. Clean facility, friendly staff and a quiet location.

James McKee was great to work with and highly recommend! Smart Home Security LLC
Reliable service to me for 18 yr. so far
The staff at Checkered Flag were all great, but James McKee was a fantastic salesman. Honestly, I can’t recommend him enough. We were on the same page the entire time, and I was grateful that he didn’t push me one way or another. Never did I feel pressured to walk away with a vehicle, but when I did decide to buy he was friendly and hard charging to make sure I was an informed buyer and out of there as fast as possible in my new wheels.
Polite and efficient service writers. High quality and honest workmanship. Clean, comfortable waiting area. Complementary transportation to and from the dealership.
Found the only Blueprint Blue Camry in Eastern Virginia at Checkered Flag Toyota. Reached out via internet. Was quickly contacted by Product Specialist and A++ communicator CeCe. We spoke via phone, email, & text on Sat. Sunday I made the almost 1.5 he drive to Checkered Flag Toyota, where CeCe met me, Less than 2 hrs later I am driving my beautiful Blueprint Camry home to surprise my wife. Quick and painless .CeCe did all the work.
Great service, polite.
Ryan was a great salesman and helped me purchase my first car! Such a great experience 10/10 recommend
I went to Checkered Flag to look at a vehicle and was helped out by Mr. McKee. He was very professional and knowledgeable of all the inventory, and made the process really enjoyable. Thanks James
I went to Checkered Flag Toyota looking for a new car this afternoon. I was met on the lot by CeCe, who helped me with a test drive and then helped me research many cars on the computer. She was extremely courteous and professional throughout, answering my many questions and helping me look for just the right fit.
Spent Saturday searching on-line from New Kent, Va to find the only Blueprint colored Camry LE in the Tidewater/Richmond area and Checkered Flag Toyota Va Beach had 2 on their lot! Inquired on-line and was contacted by Product Specialist Cilia Melendez. We spoke back and forth on the phone, via text and email. Cilia did all the work. On Sunday I traveled the almost 1.5 drive to Checkered Flag Toyota, where Cilia met me. In less than 2 hours she had me in my brand new Camry heading home. If your looking for a Toyota, I would highly recommend A++ communicator & ...
Ryan Jones was amazing. Was able to test drive and purchase my new truck all in a matters of hours. Easy to communicate with and just a pleasure to do business with!
Mikel & Van helped me throughout the car buying process and I can't say enough good things about them. I felt like I could trust Checkered Flag from the get-go and the entire time I didn't feel pressured to do anything. Mikel & Van constantly reassured me and provided all the information I needed to make me feel good about my purchase. I would buy a car from them again, no hesitation. Definitely ask for Mikel or Van if you can!
Alex thank you for your good service and a great car.
5000 mile service. Great staff, nice work. Wash could have been better, but it was free.
CeCe was absolutely great to work with. When looking for a car, she made the entire process stress free. My family loved working with her and the next car I buy will be with her!!!
James McKee was an excellent salesman. He was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and always transparent. He was professional and kept working to find us the truck we were asking for. He provided outstanding service and went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire process. We recommend asking for James if you are interested in purchasing a new vehicle!
Top notch! Very professional and upfront service department
James helped us find a new vehicle that met all of our needs. Even though we had a lot of frustrating delays with Bank of America for the loan, James was great at communicating with us and was very patient. If I had to do it again, I would have used Toyota Financial instead. I love my new SUV and it was worth the wait!
Carlos Polanco is AMAZING! Super friendly, easy to talk to, completely transparent. If your vehicle doesn't need something done to it he tells you. If it needs something but can wait a bit he tells you. If needs to be done asap he tells you. Carlos is EXTREMELY knowledgeable. I trust his judgment 110%.
James McKee was absolutely great to work with. Found us a large amount of additional money off. Highly recommend.
I bought my Tacoma from Checkered Flag Toyota I’m 2014. Every time I’ve been there I have received Top Notch Customer Service. I was teamed with Carlos this time I needed immediate repair due to leaving for vacation. Carlos and his tram got my fuel pump ear end seal and brakes replaced by noon today. 07/03/21. I’m getting on the road. Thank you Carlos and your tram! Thank you to your Rental tram too.whom was also very expedient, professional and personable.
Hands down, best dealership I’ve ever been to for service. Check engine light came on right before I was supposed to take a long drive to MN. They squeezed me in on Fourth of July weekend. Fixed my car (stick stuck in the grille shutter) and didn’t charge me. I searched several dealerships prior to coming here- they do not nickel and dime you. This is the only on in VA I found that doesn’t. Great job- great service. Thank you!! I will be back!
Honest sales associate (Danny), communicated clearly, was able to leave with the vehicle I wanted to very same day.
Great service and communication. Clean and friendly environment. Great technical work and service.
The staff was so nice and Ryan was absolutely great! He was extremely patient with my endless questions and helped me get into the truck I’ve been dreaming about for years! The manager was also great and helped answer my questions as well! Great staff, great experience, would highly recommend!
My salesperson was James McKee. He did an excellent job from beginning to end with helping me get my new Toyota Camry SE. He was very polite, professional, and helpful. He kept me informed about when the car was expected to arrive at the dealership, notified me immediately upon its arrival, and was available to meet with me as soon as it arrived. He was very patient with me during the test drive while showing me all the features of the car and while filling out all the paperwork to purchase it. He made my car buying experience a pleasant ...
One of the best experiences that I had at a dealership service department. Keep up the good work.
1993 Mark 4 Supra Turbo brought back to life.
Mr James Mckee Is a Dynamic, Outstanding, Professional Product Specialist. All questions answered. Explanations were easy to understand and apply to vehicle purchase. Just what I would expect from Checkered Flag Toyota. Outstanding experience. Thank you James Mckee.
Welcoming staff, exemplary customer service & Mr. Freddie Santos is straightforward and knowledgeable, which made our experience serene. Thank you for everything!
Tomas Torres is the best! Made us feel comfortable, well informed, and he wasnt pushy at all! We went to Bannister Nissan on Monday and had the exact opposite expirience, so meeting Mr. Torres was a rather refreshing expirience!
Great!
Alan was great
James McKee was awesome and made my trade in and purchase seamless. Thank you James! I will be back.
Every experience I've had here has been amazing. Excellent, friendly and swift customer service every time. I've seen Carlos in the service department several times and each time outstanding service! Shoutout to the state inspectors and staff for speedy turnaround times!
No hassle pricing. Relaxed atmosphere. With proof of insurance, we were able to perform test drive without sales associate ride along.
I'm passing my car down to my daughter, so I was in the market for a new one. I knew what I wanted after researching online for a few months, and had several dealerships on my list. We went to Checkered Flag first and it proved to be the right choice. Alan Johnson came out to greet us (in the rain) and showed us several Toyota RAV4s. After a test drive, I knew this was the one. Alan answered all our questions, was super friendly, and made the whole experience pleasant. I had a pre-approval from my bank ...
Alex Aguilar showed excellent customer service!He was excellent and a Veteran at that! He was very detailed and professional through the whole process! I would recommend his excellence to anyone who comes in to the dealership!
Welcoming staff, exemplary customer service & Mr. Freddie Santos is straightforward and knowledgeable, which made our experience serene. Thank you for everything!
I recently went in to get a look at a 2021Toyota Tacoma and a gentleman named James Mckee got ahold of me and helped with everything. I'm buying my first truck and I couldn't be happier with James and his service, he never pressured me and listened to all my needs. I will be returning for my next vehicle to Checkered flag Toyota because of his service 100%.
Fredie has been my go to product specialist for almost 15yrs and had purchased 3 vehicles with his help. Very highly recommended to all my friends and family! If you want someone that is easy to work with and will not intimidate, he is the guy. Trust that he will help and provide you the best deals.

My husband and I were in search of the perfect family car ! We have a 12 week old and were very picky with the safety features. Tom T. Was the best help in finding our perfect vehicle. Tom understand everything that my husband and I were looking for and exceeded our expectations within our limited budget ! I highly suggest Toyota checkered flag. They have fair pricing and are straight forward. My husband And I Agree that Toyota checkered flag is the perfect family friendly place to shop for your next vehicle.
James McKee (Sales) was great! He helped facilitate a transaction that would of been impossible at most dealerships. Also, Shannon Flores (Finance) and Paul Williams (Management) really stepped up and played a huge roll as a team to get things completed. Another “First Place” finish for Checkered Flag Toyota.
Our buying experience was fast and easy. Freddie helped us to buy the car we have been waiting and searching for. During this crazy buying time, we are glad he was able to help us.
Best experience with car buying I’ve had so far thanks to James! Made the process very simple on my end, and great customer service. I will be suggesting this place and James, to my friends in the area who are car shopping!
Was looking for a newer Toyota. Saw the dealership had a vehicle that was what I was looking for. Went to look at the vehicle and was helped by James McKee. James was very pleasant and helpful through the entire process. He answered all my questions and concerns. Very pleasant car buying experience.
Went in today looking to buy a car. Left with a car. Alex made the whole experience simple and pain free.
My friend bought her Toyota Corolla from Mikel here and had a great experience here so she introduced me to Mikel and I purchased the same car from him in a day. Everything went smoothly so far without any problems with professional help and Customer services. Thank you so much. I’ve been having the car for two month now, still getting helps from Mikel whenever I needed. Highly recommended!
James was very helpful throughout the entire process. Tony was also a great asset. I love my new car!
Stephanie Shelton is my service advisor and ALWAYS get my vehicles taken care of ON TIME and right the FIRST TIME. Best service department in the area, hands down! Go see Stephanie or any of the other qualified service advisors!
I had a great experience with James and Alan helping my son select his first car a 21 Corolla Hatchback. James walked us through the entire process. It was a speedy stress-free experience. It was nice to literally buy a “show car.” This is my 6th car purchase from the Checkered Flag Group and will certainly be a customer for life. I will return soon to buy a truck if the wife approves.
My family needed to replace a car recently. We found the car we wanted to purchase on Checkered Flag’s website. We started out with Sara who did a great job answering our initial questions. When we made it to the showroom we were introduced to James McKee. James did a great job throughout the whole process. It truly was a hassle free experience and itwas definitely a pleasure working with James. Thanks you for a great car buying experience.
I had the pleasure of working with James to buy a new car. He made the whole process very simple and painless and he was willing to work with us on even the small things. While I don't hope to need another car anytime soon I would not mind if James was my dealer again.
Recently purchased a vehicle through salesman Van Eric Harned. He was phenomenal and answered every question we were able to come up with. He would even make himself available outside of working hours for questions. Would recommend him to anyone buying from this location. As other's have said he was not pushy at all and was totally upfront with pricing. Thank you Van.
Alejandro Aguilar was a phenomenal product specialist! Very very knowledgeable of the vehicles. I came from Maryland, and honestly didn’t regret my experience. Alejandro Aguilar made this experience a great one. Highly recommend this young man !
When I found that both brake lights were out I was eager to get that fixed pronto. I called at 8 a.m. and was given my choice of appointments that day. It took very little time and I opted to have a wheel alignment at the same time. Waiting at Checkered Flag is perfectly comfortable so that's never a problem either. Well done!
Tom Torres was amazing helping me find a car, he was patient, kind & the customer satisfaction couldn’t have been any better! If I were to refer any friends to Checkered Flag Toyota I would tell them to look for Tom!
My salesman Van was fantastic, no pressure easy to work with, and Went out of his way to obtained floor mats that were missing from my vehicle.
Van Eric was awesome! I have purchase lots of cars and this, by far, was the best experience. We came into the dealership "knowing what we wanted" but Van helped us work through our requirements and we left in a new Toyota Avalon. We were not even considering the Avalon but once Van explained the features and benefits, it was a no-brainer. So happy with the car, the experience and Van. If you are looking for a new car with a very low pressure approach, Van is your guy.
This was the first new car I have ever purchased so saying I was scared is an understatement, upon arrival to the dealership being greeted by my sales person RYAN JONES until I drove off the lot in my Brand new 2021 Camry was nothing like the horror story's I had heard over the years about buying a car, actually it was the total opposite, I actually ENJOYED the experience and Ryan was a big part in making that happen. It felt as if I was buying a car from my favorite family member. He took the time to guide ...
I had a great experience with your employee, James. Your dealership did not have the exact Highlander hybrid that I was looking for, but your people went out of their way and found it. Also, the no-hassle pricing is stress free and a lot more relaxing than a traditional car-buying experience.
Traded my old car it for a new Tacoma. Mikel was the one that helped me throughout the whole process and I ended up with an outstanding deal. Everyone there is really kind and willing to work with you through anything that comes up. I can and have strongly recommend Checkered Flag to anyone.
We have been getting our cars from Checkered Flag Toyota for a long time and satisfied all the time with the exceptional assistance of Freddie Santos. He is always straight forward and honest with the information he offers and answers to questions we asked.Our next car will be again at Checkered Flag Toyota and with Freddie Santos as the go to sales person .The dealership is very customer friendly ambience wise and sales wise and they have excellent care service for your cars after you bought them
Mikel hook me up on this awesome truck, it's takes 4hours process but still very knowledgeable he dont say "NO" right away he will try to his best to make it work the deal. Awesome guy highly recommended 👌
Alex Suarez made the buying process a breeze and he is very knowledgeable and experienced. My family has purchased many cars from him and he is always an absolute pleasure to work with. Tina and the other receptionist were so accommodating. They gave us a spoon so my son could eat his dinner while we did paperwork and Tina made a toy out of a box to keep him preoccupied. Mikel gave us some wonderful pointers while we were taking a break outside. Overall, the staff was very friendly!
DANNY WAS THE BEST!!!! FAST SERVICE, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, & INFORMED ME ON EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE I WAS GOOD WITH WHAT I WAS PURCHASING. MAKE SURE YOU SEE HIM IF YOU LOOKING INTO PURCHASING. AGAIN, THEY ARE BIG ON "HASSLE FREEEEE"!!! THANK YOU FOR MY NEWWWW 2021 RAV4!!
Great overall experience? James McKenna was fantastic from initial walk through to signing.
Took my 4Runner here for an issue with the maintenance lights going off. This place knows how to fix anything Toyota related.
Fast and helpful
Had a very east time purchasing our used vehicle from CF all thanks to Ryan Jones. He was professional, knowledgeable and above all very respectful. I highly recommend you see him.
I had an amazing experience at Checkered Flag Toyota! I normally don't write reviews, but was very impressed with this company and my salesperson Tommy Suggs. I had been looking to purchase a pre-owned Mazda CX-5 and found a 2018 one online at Checkered Flag for a good price. Since I was driving out of town, I scheduled my test drive ahead of time. Tommy was very helpful and made sure to find a time that worked with my schedule. He was very friendly and wonderful to work with throughout the process. He didn't try to push anything but ...
The best car buying experience I’ve ever had. I want to give a big Thanks to Ryan Jones and Alejandro Aguilar. They help my husband and i to get our first New Car here in Virginia. They was very patient with us. Thank you a lot. This app only give me an option to give five stars but im going to give you more than five star to Ryan and Alejandro you deserve 100% stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you!!!

I will highly recommend you to others.

I bought my very first car here and the experience was good. I love the amount of patience they have for customers. Much respect. When I got into my first car accident, they we're amazing at helping me get back on the road. Despite the end results, the staff at Checkered Flag Toyota were beyond amazing. Making sure I understood what to do next and walking me through every step of the way. Most importantly, a special thank you to Jeff for handling the repairs and making sure my first time experience was easy. He went out of his ...
Excellent service
I’d like to first and foremost give a big shout out to Daniel Dalton (DD) on helping me and my family find the dream SUV we been pass due longing for. With me traveling in and out of town DD was able to work with me in a quick and fashionably manner. I bought a Toyota Highlander Platinum and it has all the bells and whistles you could ever need and want. DD was a very knowledgeable and patient salesman. Being a parent and shopping for a vehicle with your kids could call for a long and dreadful afternoon ...
Wow! What a great experience. This was my first time buying a Toyota and James did a great job getting me through the process and getting me the vehicle I wanted. I will definitely recommend Checkered Flag Toyota to my friends and family. I feel like I got an honest and fair deal.
Extremely happy with my experience shopping at Checkered Flag Toyota. James McKee was extremely helpful in finding vehicles within my price range, that met the few things I was looking for. As we continued to narrow down my options, a couple used Honda HR-V’s appeared on the list at the Honda dealership down the road. I don’t want to admit that I fell in love during the test drive, as I wanted to sleep on my decision, but I did. Couldn’t pass up on my dream car! Thank you, James McKee for making my car buying experience ...
Easy to schedule, quick and convenient
I was looking for a 2021 Tacoma in magnetic gray and made inquiry on the Checkered Flag Toyota website. In a few minutes, James McKee called me and answered all of my questions. He was very polite and receptive to my needs. The next couple of days I called him with more questions and he would always take my calls and answer my questions. He called me with updated information which I really appreciated. I made the decision to come in at look at the truck and James McKee made the process easy. I did not feel any pressure to buy, ...
Checkered Flag Toyota is the best and James McKee makes them even better! I’ve purchased a lot of cars, and this was the best, and easiest car purchase I’ve ever had! Thank you!
They get the job done
