Made an appointment to come to this Toyota dealership for

Made an appointment to come to this Toyota dealership for an oil change, when I arrive they stated they cannot find me in the system and then refuse to provide service. I made my appointment two weeks ago and all of a sudden they can't find my appointment. The person at the desk was very rude and said that unfortunately they had too many vehicles and they could not help me. Never again will I do business with this dealership and I will tell all my friends and family about this experience. PS. Don't bother to reply with your automatic message which goes nowhere nobody ever follows up or does anything about the consistent issues at this dealership read all the reviews and you will see that I'm not the only one that has had to deal with this...

Jeffrey Martin is the best when you look for a car.

Jeffrey Martin is the best when you look for a car. He’s not only help us to find the right car, the right amount of payment but he also gave us knowledge of the new car and made us comfortable to ride it. The finance manager also friendly and patiently to handle our paper. Look forward to buy another car

I had my Toyota serviced at Toyota of the Desert Monday

I had my Toyota serviced at Toyota of the Desert Monday for a simple tail light replacement and tire rotation. I made the mistake of telling the guy handling my service that my car had been kept in good shape by Pep Boys but that since they had scaled back to basic services during the quarantine, I was back at Toyota. The guy didn't let me forget it, mentioning it at least 4 times. After waiting twice the time predicted for the service they kept "finding" things and up-charged me with additional issues "found" to a bill of $300. Next day, my battery was dead. (Coincidence???) I called Toyota and got the royal treatment of "that's your problem not mine, lady" attitude. Called Pep Boys (whose basics include batteries) and was greeted with a respectful 'no problem," we'll-get-it-fixed-right-away attitude from the git-go. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! I am happy to report that "Andres" there advised they've hired all new crew and will be full service again shortly. I realize that this single lady senior can be a target for the unscrupulous car repair people. I never experienced that at this Pep Boys and I am delighted that I can go back to using them, with full confidence.

Consumer response

We test drove a Lexus sc 430 at your dealership and came back a second time to make a deal on the car . On the second visit, the salesman said there is a charge of $1,200 dollars to add a locator for the car and that it was mandatory for the purchase of the car , I can buy a locator for less than 100 dollars. I would never buy a locator for my car , it’s ridiculous!! It was a 2002 model and I would have theft insurance on the car . We leased our first car from I 10 Toyota and they were honest and great to deal with , your used car manager treated us with disrespect and insulted our intelligence. We we also test drove a rav prime while we were waiting. When we do buy a new rav prime from another dealership we will stop by to show it to you . You see , many businesses nowadays care less and less about the customer and you have joined them . By the time we left your dealership we were very disgusted with the tactics used on us . Maybe because we are in our 60s he thought we were to old to realize the scam .
