My Review of David Maus Toyota:
My car was struck by lightening and my check engine and alternator lights were on. I took it to David Maus Toyota for service. They told me that it would cost $100 for diagnostics. Then they called and told me an oil sensor was bad and it would cost $400. Later that day, they said that my brain was scrambled and it would cost $1100 in advance to order, and up to 2 weeks to get the part. They told me the car was not safe to drive.
I returned the next morning to test drive new cars and know what I would have to ask the bank to finance. The salesman, Joe Ciolla, told me I could drive the car home if I let him start the paperwork, and they would just tear it up when my bank loan came through. They kept us there all day, used my husband's bad credit when I told them not to, and wanted to charge us 16.9% interest. They offered $300 for my trade in that I had just paid almost $400 for repairs on. We walked out. Joe called that night to tell me he had transferred all of my belongings to the car I had looked at.
I ordered a used brain on line and called them the next day to tell them I was picking up the car. I was told repeatedly that they had no record of my car being there. I was even told by one person that he had walked through the entire service area, and my car was not there. I went there myself and talked to a service rep who found my car on the computer with no problem. He talked to a service tech and they walked into the service area. When he returned, he told me the car wouldn't start.
I called AAA and had it towed to my house where we found that the computer was unplugged. When plugged in, it started right up and drove fine. THEN since my birthday was coming up, my husband went to renew my registration. Even though I had the title, he was told that it was being transferred and I couldn't renew it. I called and got the run-around for a week before I reported them to the State's Attourney General. This did get their attention. I encourage everyone to complain to them since now they are being investigated.
