“ From the moment I contacted Lexus via an email inquiry, to the time I spent w Alex, my salesman, to signing the papers w Mike, they made a big decision much easier. I was treated respectfully and had all my questions answered. Alex even came in on his day off (a Friday)! Now, several days later. I am confident that I made the right choice and plan to own this car for many years. They've encouraged me to return as needed to get assistance w all the new bells and whistles as the technology has a great deal of perks and I'm excited!

“ Such an effortless transition with my trade in. Thank you LG! I’m a forever Lexus Girlie 🖤 ”
“ John Vanik/Sales addressed me and my sister as we approached the door of the dealership, he was welcoming and asked what brought us in. I shared with John about a couple of cars that I’d seen online and was interested in seeing in person. John offered his immediate assistance. To fast forward this post, I test drove 3 cars, John raced around the dealership working to meet the details of the type of car and price that was of interest to me. When it seemed that there might not be a fit for me, I asked John to waitlist me for cars that fit my interest; he agreed but before I left, John asked me to give him a few minutes while he checked the system one last time. John did find a car, I test drove it and loved it. I wanted it and the 3-year bumper-bumper warranty. Dave/finance and John/sales worked diligently on the numbers to get to a comfortable fit for me. John’s customer service was really what sealed the deal for me, he was amazing and felt like a friend. I will say this, and I shared it with John, I walked into this same dealership 2-weeks earlier and received the worst customer service and was not interested in returning (I have another Lexus that I’ve serviced for 13 years at this dealership). John’s customer service redeemed Lexus of Orland. ”
“ I really appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of the salesman and finance guy. I didn't feel pressured into buying anything. I left satisfied. ”
“ Lexus of Orland provided one of the best experiences I’ve ever had purchasing a new vehicle. I’ve owned over 50 vehicles in my lifetime across multiple high-end brands, and this dealership along with my first Lexus has definitely set a new benchmark for me. The GM Chris, the finance guy Mike, and my salesperson Marek all helped me obtain the best deal and best experience! They took their time, answered questions, and made sure I was comfortable with everything. My whole experience was flawless. On top of that, my new GX 550 is extremely impressive and I’m very happy with it. Between the vehicle itself and how I was treated, I can absolutely see Lexus being a brand I stay with for future cars. If you’re in the market for a new Lexus, I definitely recommend checking out this dealership. The dealership is impressive and the staff is unbelievable. Great experience all around! ”
“ Our salesman, LG, was absolutely amazing! Not only did he tell us everything we needed to know about our new vehicle, he assisted in guaranteeing a great price and deal! If Lexus is reading this, give him a raise!! Would shop here again and highly recommended. ”
“ Service was great! Everyone really nice and super helpful! ”
“ All of the Service Professionals were courteous. They fit me in with an emergent issue and it was resolved. ”
“ We had an absolutely outstanding experience at Lexus. From the moment we walked in, Marek and the entire Lexus team were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. They truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail of my vehicle was exactly what I wanted, and the process was seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Marek took the time to personally walk me through the interior of my TX, helped set up the Lexus app, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with all of the features before I left. He was incredibly patient, answered all of my questions, and even encouraged me to come back anytime if I ever needed another walkthrough or had questions — that level of care really stood out to me. A special thank you to Juan and Brian for getting my TX perfectly prepped and ready to take home — their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. While I was sad to trade in my Nissan, one drive in this beautiful Lexus completely changed that. The quality, comfort, and performance are unmatched, and I honestly can’t imagine driving anything else now. This dealership truly sets the standard for customer service. You can genuinely tell that they care about their customers, listen to your needs, and take pride in what they do. If you’re considering a Lexus, I can’t recommend this dealership and its team enough — they will make the entire experience exceptional from beginning to end. ”

“ Great service very nice people l really recommend all to come for service here in Orland LEXUS ”
“ I purchased a vehicle from Lexus of Orland and worked with John Vanik, who was professional, helpful, and easy to deal with. He answered my questions clearly and made the process straightforward and low-pressure. I’m giving 4 stars due to a few condition items discovered with the vehicle and because it was priced at the higher end of the market, but the dealership did work with me on price and handled everything professionally. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend the dealership and working with John. ”
