A 4.3-star Google rating built on 3,400+ verified reviews · A+ BBB rating · 10-time Toyota President’s Award winner — your reliable used car dealer near Seattle since 1983. Serving Burien, Renton, Kent, Des Moines & West Seattle.
Sorting used car dealers by star rating alone rarely tells the whole story — a big review count can bury plenty of one-star complaints, and a small dealer with a handful of glowing reviews isn’t necessarily more reliable. If you’re weighing certified pre-owned against a broader used inventory as part of that research, our complete guide to the best certified pre-owned Toyota vehicles near Seattle is a useful next stop. For customer ratings specifically, Burien Toyota’s 4.3-star average across more than 3,400 Google reviews puts it among the more consistently well-reviewed used car dealers serving South King County.
That track record isn’t new. Burien Toyota has been family-owned and operating near Seattle since 1983, and has earned Toyota’s President’s Award ten times — internal recognition Toyota gives dealers who score well on customer satisfaction surveys, not just sales volume. That combination of longevity and repeat recognition is part of why the rating holds up across thousands of reviews instead of a curated handful.
We’re located at 15025 First Ave S in Burien — minutes from Sea-Tac Airport and an easy drive from Renton, Kent, Des Moines, Tukwila, and Auburn. No appointment needed to browse the lot, read a vehicle’s window sticker, or ask to see its inspection report.
Every dealership claims to be trustworthy. Here’s what that actually looks like when the ratings hold up over thousands of real transactions.

A strong rating means little if the selection behind it can’t match what you actually need. Here’s what typically fills the lot across three body-style categories:

A high star rating tells you how past customers felt about their experience — it doesn’t automatically tell you what happens if something goes wrong with the vehicle itself. That’s where documented protection matters more than a review count. Every Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle we sell passes a 160-point inspection and comes with a CARFAX report, and every new Toyota we sell includes our complimentary lifetime powertrain warranty — protection that doesn’t depend on which reviewer you happen to read.
A+ BBB Rating, Toyota Gold Certified Dealer. Ratings are a good starting filter, but the vehicle still needs to fit your specific budget, mileage, and body-style needs. If nothing in the current selection matches what you’re looking for, ask our team to set up a vehicle-finder alert — we’ll reach out the moment a matching vehicle arrives.
Call (206) 243-0700 to ask what’s currently on the lot or to get on the vehicle-finder list.
A dealership’s reputation can fall apart fast at the finance desk if terms feel like a bait-and-switch. Our finance team works with multiple lending partners to keep rates and terms consistent with the same transparent approach that earns the reviews in the first place.

“I checked their BBB rating and the review count before I even drove over — over 3,000 reviews averaging above 4 stars is hard to fake. The actual visit matched what I read, which isn’t always true.”
“Family-owned since the ‘80s actually means something here — they can’t hide from a bad reputation in a town this size. That’s probably why the inspection paperwork was handed over without me asking twice.”
“What kept my rating of them high wasn’t just the sale, it was the service department afterward. Scheduling was easy and they explained exactly what was covered under warranty.”

Common questions from South Seattle buyers comparing used car dealer ratings. Can’t find your answer? Call (206) 243-0700.
Which used car dealer in South Seattle has the highest customer ratings?
Burien Toyota holds a 4.3-star Google rating across more than 3,400 verified reviews and an A+ BBB rating, and has won Toyota’s President’s Award 10 times for customer satisfaction. The dealership has been family-owned and operating in South King County since 1983, which means that rating reflects thousands of transactions over four decades rather than a short-term run of positive reviews.
How can I tell if a dealership’s star rating is actually trustworthy?
Look past the headline number. A 4-star average built on 3,000+ reviews is more meaningful than a 5-star average built on 30, since it’s harder to sustain across a larger volume of real transactions. Also check whether the rating holds up across both sales and service reviews, and whether the dealership responds to negative reviews rather than ignoring them.
Does Burien Toyota’s service department affect its overall reputation?
Yes, service experience is a major driver of long-term dealership ratings, since it’s the relationship customers have after the sale. Our 32,000-square-foot service facility, opened in 2016 with more than 20 bays and Toyota Master Diagnostic Technicians, factors heavily into repeat-customer reviews and referrals. You can schedule a service appointment online any time.
What’s the difference between a used Toyota and a Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle here?
A standard used Toyota may carry a limited dealer warranty or an optional extended service agreement. A Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicle has passed a 160-point inspection and comes with a comprehensive CPO warranty, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a complimentary CARFAX report. Both options go through the same dealership, but CPO adds a documented layer of protection.
Can military members, veterans, or recent college grads get extra savings on a used or certified pre-owned Toyota?
Yes. Burien Toyota offers a Military Rebate Program for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families, along with a separate rebate program for recent college graduates. Both can be combined with standard financing on a used or certified pre-owned purchase.
How far is Burien Toyota from Renton, Kent, and Des Moines?
Burien Toyota is at 15025 First Ave S in Burien, WA — roughly 15-20 minutes from Renton and Kent via I-405, about 10 minutes from Des Moines, and 1 mile from Sea-Tac Airport. We’re also a convenient stop for buyers coming from West Seattle, Tukwila, Auburn, and Federal Way.
Does a strong reputation mean higher prices on used vehicles?
Not necessarily. Our pricing is based on a no-pressure, transparent model rather than trading on our rating to charge a premium. A strong reputation tends to reflect how customers were treated during and after the sale, not the sticker price of any individual vehicle.
