Most incompetent service department i have ever dealt with - JosephN
Brought my wife's car in for a scheduled Toyota Care maintenance. Picked vehicle up and within 10 minutes could tell there was an issue with the tires/alignment. Called service center back and they advised to bring it back in the morning and they would fix it. I specifically asked that they check the tire balance and alignment, they fluffed me off and said they would handle it. Wife brought her car back the next morning, service had vehicle for 5 minutes, told her that the car was "all fixed" and that she was good. Told her she didn't know what she was talking about and must have been confused. Car continued to have balance/alignment issues but they told us that it was just the tire wear and that they wouldn't be fixing it.
6 months later we had to bring the car back for the next scheduled service. Asked the service writer politely if he would have the tech check the balance/alignment since i knew for a fact it was off. Service writer attempted to speak to me as if i was a child that never drove car before and that i didn't know what i was talking about. Low and behold 2 hours later they call us back that our car is ready to be picked up. Service writer tells us over the phone that the cars alignment was off and that all 4 tires needed to be balanced, Yeah no Kidding!!
Went to pick up vehicle and service writer insisted that we must have done something to the tires because their service writers would never do that. Well not only did their service writers allow it, they told my wife she was being silly and confused, and let her drive for 6 months on an unsafe car because they were too lazy/entitled to check the vehicles balance like i specifically asked.
Entire desk of service writers is incompetent, unhelpful, condescending and rude. Service department is more than willing to let their customer driver an unsafe vehicle before they admit that they might perhaps have been wrong.
Avoid this service department at all costs, worth the hour drive to the next Toyota dealership to not deal with these people.
Also after they (finally) fixed the alignment and balance issue, they left the two tires with the most tread on them on the rears... instead of swapping them to the fronts like any decent service location would do. After quoting us for new tires they said it was unsafe to have low tread tires in the front, conveniently left out the fact that they're the ones that put them there!
