I am a recent college graduate pursuing a carrer as a nurse. I needed a newer car (the old one was dying) and I needed to start building up my credit. For almost a month of searching and running into pushy cars salesmen living up to their stereotype, I took a trip to Magic Toyota in Edmonds and was greeted by a sales person by the name of Tommy Hu. \r

Unlike most car salesman I had dealt with before, he gave me breathing room. He was low key with a pleasant disposito. Tommy was a straight shooter from the getgo. He enquired as to what I was looking for and I told him something within $10,000-$12,000 dollar range which was fairly new without too many miles. Instead of following me around like a lot of pesty car salesman trying to force cars too old or out of price range down my throat, he simply told me to call him when I found something I liked. He leveled with me telling me that he knows it's hard to buy a car as a young person just starting out. He assured me that he would be able to find something that would fit my budget and give me affordable payments. For the first time, I didn't feel pressured around a car salesman. Even though I walked out of that car lot that day without purchasing, I kept his card with the intentions to actually call him back even if I decided to go with another dealership. \r

A few days later, I found a 2008 Toyota Corolla on autotrader that fit my price range that happen to be at a different Toyota dealership. I called Tommy to see if they had a similar car available. He did, and by the time I arrived, he had a newer and lower mileage car ready for me to test drive. The long drive ending up being well worth it. The selection was incredible with over 200 pre-owned cars to choose from, many of which were Toyota Certified with extended warranties and in great shape! \r
\r
Honesty and Integrity go along way with me. I drove all the way from Olympia (almost 2 hrs) that day. The Corolla that Tommy had ready for me was beyond my expectations and turned out be the perfect car .\r
\r
Other car salesman and dealerships could learn something from Tommy Hu and Magic Toyota about customer service and integrity.\r

Thank you and God bless you all. \r
