Before we tell you about ourselves, let’s start with you. You’re probably looking for a car-buying experience that is easy, convenient, and affordable. So how can we help you accomplish that? How can we minimize the disruption that is required when purchasing or servicing your vehicle? How can we make these activities not just tolerable, but enjoyable? We ask ourselves these questions daily, and while our execution isn’t always perfect, we strive to find answers we think you’ll like.
Panama City Toyota is a family-owned company that has operated under substantially the same ownership for over 25 years. We have significant ties to the community, and believe it is our obligation to make Bay County—really the entire Florida Panhandle—a better place to live.
Although family has tenure in the community and in the automotive business, the current leadership probably has more experience as an automotive customers than as an automotive operators. Hopefully this causes us to see everything through a “customer lens,” and keeps us from ever forgetting that unfamiliarity can be intimidating. We strive to eliminate that feeling.
An early tagline for the dealership was the recognizable phrase, “Where Relationships are Born.” While this may not always be used in the dealership’s current advertising, the sentiment remains. Here, our team recognizes it’s not about us, but instead it’s about you, the customer. You are the main character of the story and we are here simply to guide you into the perfect vehicle to accomplish your goals.
In addition to the sale of new and outstanding Toyota vehicles, Panama City Toyota also offers high quality pre-owned vehicles. These include not only Toyota certified used vehicles, but also pre-owned vehicles of many other domestic and foreign brands. Virtually all brands can beserviced inside our award winning service department. An outstanding parts and accessories departments also strives to meet your various needs.
We sincerely hope you desire to become and continue to be part of our extended family.

Toyota had a call back about the driver door window parts not working well. A few days before we took it in the window broke into pieces while my mom (70 years old) was driving and putting it up the window. not working well. A few days before we took it in the window broke into pieces while my mom (70 years old) was driving and putting it up the window. Matt helped me the first time and it was fixed. However, a week or two went by and the window broke again while my mom was driving again. This time Chad was that one who helped me. Chad has pretty poor customer services skills in my opinion. I had to wait for an hour for them to check out the door to tell me he was going to call me back with the part comes in. A month went by and I finally called the service department to ask them about the part and why it was taking to long to get a call. Well the part come in but didn't get an answer me why it took them so long to call me. I’m have to take another lunch hour to take my mom's car in and hope it gets fix correctly this time. I don’t believe the dealership is putting enough attention to this and this could have easily put my mom in the hospital or God could have taken her to heaven. I have tried to stress my concerns to the dealership but I don’t think they care and are not doing much to show. I have also coordinated my concerns with Chris Watson the Service and Parts Director and he has not been helpful. More

I brought my 2002 Toyota Sienna in today for oil change, when my daughter went back to pick it up for me, I noted the hood was up on the car...my daughter advised the service rep and was advised there was d when my daughter went back to pick it up for me, I noted the hood was up on the car...my daughter advised the service rep and was advised there was damage to the hood when it was brought in....which is not true and was not noted on the service report. After further examination ...the rep determined it was operator error and the service employee had left something up that did not allow the hood to close correctly. Sorry, this Toyota was purchased from this dealer new and it is concerning that a service person cannot close the hood properly, in addition, it really concerns me that a problem with the hood was reported that was not there, which is not the truth! Just because I am a female, this type of treatment does not sit very well....Honesty is a very big part of customer service and car care! More
