car STOLEN from dealership lot while being serviced My car was stolen from this lot on May 2014. Legally, the dealership is not responsible for this occuring (as you do sign a document when you leave My car was stolen from this lot on May 2014. Legally, the dealership is not responsible for this occuring (as you do sign a document when you leave your car there stating: if your vehicle is "lost or damaged" they are not liable), which is understandable to some degree. That being said, however: 1) They parked my car where they did not have any cameras so police had nothing to work on. 2) They left the door unlocked while being parked in this area that did not have any surveillance. 3) The management there was not accommodating at all. I had to literally argue/yell/debate and repeatedly express my hardship with my newfound lack of transportation in order to convince them I needed to hold their loaner car while my insurance resolved my stolen vehicle claim. After many stressful phone calls during work and emails, I was able to obtain this accommodation. Unfortunately, my story doesn't end here: After closing out my claim from my insurance. I returned their car, which they reulctantly loaned to me, 4) Management claimed that there was hail damage to the car that was not there when I was given the loaner car. They told me that they would be contacting my insurance company to get the money and that was that. They never gave me a walk-through prior to handing the keys to the loaner car to me. Instead- they handed me a document and had me sign at the highlighted areas. Of the signatures/initials, one stated the car was in perfect condition. I do accept fault in not reading it all prior to signing, but one would think a respectable company would at least offer a walk-through or describe the contents of a document. If I would've accepted their explanation, they would've been able to skim out more money from me and my insurance company. (Imagine a surgeon saying he took your kidneys out when you signed for a nose job without any explanation of why he never explained the need to remove your kidneys). It's not acceptable here- and it shouldnt be acceptable anywhere else. True: There was hail damage to the car, but it did not happen while the car was in my possession. After demanding they look into it further, after refusing to leave without a reasonable explanation, and after proving to them that there was no hail storm while the car was in my possession, they THEN decided to look at their "other list" and determined the car already had hail damage. As a doctor at the University hospital, I find this shockingly unacceptable and disgraceful. More

I would like to thank Jim and Joe for the excellent customer service. I have a 2010 Tundra and had managed to break off a windshield wiper as it was stuck in the ice on the windshield. I stopped by a customer service. I have a 2010 Tundra and had managed to break off a windshield wiper as it was stuck in the ice on the windshield. I stopped by a local O'Reillys store to replace both wipers and after much struggle they could not get the pieces of the old wiper out of the wiper arm. Luckily I had stopped at the O'Reillys on Paris Rd so within a few minutes I was at the Service Center. I wasn't real sure what to expect as it was a few minutes after 5 but Jim came out to assist. He searched for any mechanics that may be still there and that turned out negative. Then Joe came along. He had dropped off a vehicle in the service bay and saw the trouble that Jim was having and offered his assistance. I want to thank them both for their assistance and wonderful customer service. More

While traveling down I-70, with my family on the way to Tenn, on a Friday at 3:00pm, my check engine light came on. We had to be in Henderson by Saturday morning to deliver my daughter to her college. We w Tenn, on a Friday at 3:00pm, my check engine light came on. We had to be in Henderson by Saturday morning to deliver my daughter to her college. We went on line to to find a dealer near our location. Joe Machens Toyota was 9 miles ahead. We exited off and drove right to the service bay. Scott listened to my story and asked me to pull right in. He had a tech pull the code. It was a sensor code and thought to be a nuisance trip. He reset it and we were leaving in 15 minutes time. I thought I would be waiting hours. He did not even charge me. I tried to tip him and he would not take one Thanks so much Scott. I was thankful and so impressed. I wish my dealership at home was as service oriented. Made a big impression. More
