The most recent experience was by far the worst. After receiving my vehicle back for recall service I noted the center console had not been reattached to the mounting and the wiring harness for the mirror receiving my vehicle back for recall service I noted the center console had not been reattached to the mounting and the wiring harness for the mirror control was installed upside down. This is not an easy task because the harness cover is shaped so it will go in only one way. I shared my concerns with Toyota via the survey link received via e-mail. It has been over four months and so far not a peep from Elmore Toyota. The service experience has always been a bit uneven but this one was the absolute worst. Also it is unfortunate that the sales person I bought my previous vehicle through took the client names and addresses with him and I have been receiving e-mail and flat mail from each dealer he has gone to work with for the past several years. The reason I know this is because he kept misspelling my name during the sales process and each communication I receive from the other dealers (including birthday cards) has the same misspelling. This is a large concern to me that this person has my name (wrong), address, date of birth, and who knows what other personal information. More

they are horrible people We got a deal on new truck, but they are horrible people We got a deal on new truck, but when come to financial dept, problems appeared. They said they coutd get lower interest rate they are horrible people We got a deal on new truck, but when come to financial dept, problems appeared. They said they coutd get lower interest rate. They add unneccessary warranties without telling us that warranty cost will be added to the price. They rushed us to sign and increased the principles with over 10000 more of unnecessary warranties. First time, we returned to complain about this and wanted to void the warranties. They said the deal have sent to the bank and needed to wait for a few days to hear back. they avoid explaining for us why the principle so high. Second time we came, we met with this Peter Lu financial manager telling the situation. He said he looked into it and walked away from the office for 30-45minutes. He came back and told me sorry the deal went through with the bank and they had nothing to do with it now. You had to deal with the bank yourself. He slapped hand, saying it had nothing to do with us now. Talk to the bank and resolve it yourself. We were so angry and could not say a word. I was so angry to hear that they tried to offer extra year for one of the warranties if we kept it. We did not just gave up. Third time, we went straight to general sales manager telling to solve it. He gave up and tell one of the finance guy to redo it, but we had to keep 3 unneccessary warranties. I was so surprised to see they have the forms to cancel warranty agreement. These guys are cunning and conceitful. they could have solved it on first visit. Bad karma will happen to them More

This is a review on the parts department but there is not an option, I thought the service department represented the parts department the closest (service department, please accept my apologies ahead of tim an option, I thought the service department represented the parts department the closest (service department, please accept my apologies ahead of time). I went in on a Sunday (1/27) because Elmore Toyota is one of the few service and parts departments open on Sunday (kudos to you). I am in need of a part for a 2010 Camry LE, 4 cylinder, automatic transmission, ash interior, US built. The person who did not seem like be wanted to be there, asked for a VIN number. I did not have it so he said he could not help me because they have 7 different models of Camry. What other information did he need? This is the ONLY Toyota dealership that required the VIN number after being given the above information. Note to everyone: if you absolutely need a part on Sunday, take a chance at this parts department. If it can wait until the week, definitely go to another parts department. More

I am finally coming to the end of a 5 month-long mess of issues with Elmore Toyota which started with them severely damaging my truck. Although I am relieved to finally rid myself of them, they ended our en issues with Elmore Toyota which started with them severely damaging my truck. Although I am relieved to finally rid myself of them, they ended our encounter by stealing $300 from me in one last hurrah. Each time they tried to "fix" something that they damaged, they would damage something else in the process, with lies and the usual run-arounds throughout the entire process. Promises of days turned into weeks, and nothing was ever done without cutting corners. After their most recent mess, we agreed that I could have my own shop fix the damage they caused (this time it was my paint) and they would reimburse me. They went back on their word and told me it would be "bad business" for them to have to pay. After countless wasted days dealing with dozens of issues and damages sustained to my vehicle, I can't emphasize enough that no one should take their vehicle to Elmore Toyota. They will cut corners and will never respect you or your property. If I could attach pictures of the e-mails I received, I would, as they are belligerently rude. This is a small example of their customer service. It is how I was told they would not reimburse me for the damage they caused. It has been copied verbatim from my e-mail: Me: "Ruben, I never heard back from you... Please call me as soon as possible." Ruben: "Josh chill out... I will get back to you as soon as I have an answer..." Ruben (before I could respond): "No is the answer!" More

I recently bought a brand new 2012 Prius at your store on the 7th and since I was in a rush to get to work I signed all the papers telling Jeremy their finance manager to go ahead and add all the protection the 7th and since I was in a rush to get to work I signed all the papers telling Jeremy their finance manager to go ahead and add all the protection on the car. After reading all the papers I decided the protection wasn't for me and came back on the 27th to cancel and get a refund on all the extra protection such as the premium Toyota warrantee, gap, and prepaid maintenance. Since Jeremy was not there I spoke to an asian lady who I waited around 10 minutes for and after telling her my situation she leaves and talks to someone, comes back and says I have to see Jeremy fix my problem. I requested to see if any higher authority personnel can speak to this about me and after waiting for about 20 minutes more in walks Lennie Roman. Of course he says the same thing that I have to wait for Jeremy so I let that drop and I ask him in your opinion am I able to cancel this. In response he says no because it has already been processed and he repeats this "everything has gone through and everything has been processed" even though the contract states I can get a refund within 60 days. I showed him the paper and he reads the contract out loud as though I'm stupid to prove me wrong just to end up saying I guess we'll be able to take it off your finance amount... The point I'm trying to get to is he should know your policies as a man of his position and not try to swindle customers into keeping things they don't want. This is my first new car and my first buying experience. Simon did a great job showing me the cars and all the features and Jeremy also was very professional going through all the details with me. I went back the next day to see Jeremy and he was able to fill out a simple form to cancel the extra contracts I didn't want so I was a little more frustrated knowing it was only one form that took 1 minute to fill out while they made a big deal about how long it would take to cancel it. It's people like Lennie that cause the stores reviews to be so low on all the sites. The only reason I came to your this store was because a friend recommended me to Simon and all I read is "100% satisfaction Guaranteed". This was not the case... More

P/U Truck blew a head gasket and not driven long or overheated... stopped across from Elmore Toyota.. They towed it in and we agreed to have the heads checked for damage/warp and the gaskets replaced . overheated... stopped across from Elmore Toyota.. They towed it in and we agreed to have the heads checked for damage/warp and the gaskets replaced ... they found the NOX sensor damaged so we agreed to that replacement... and a quoted cost.. *choke* $1400.. when they called after having the truck a week they tried to up sell for a new block... I stopped them and told them.. replace what was agreed to and make it run as well as it had been.. at that point they wanted $2350.. I told them they quoted $1400 and that I would agree to the added cost of the NOX sensor.. the truck was to be finished and ready for pick up.. unfortunately the Christmas holiday was on the weekend so we were unable to pick the truck up until Monday after the holiday. Now this is the 10th day and with what they wanted to charge we asked to speak to the Service Boss.. This was a good turn as the Service Director - Ruben Serna was very understanding of our upset with the charges and made a great effort to make us happier customers. After explaining his parts cost and hours charged I agreed to pay an equal cost of parts for the labor. In his efforts he managed to make us happy and lower the cost to just $12.50 over the quoted price of $1400. Out the door at $1572 with the taxman, but well under what they wanted. Service Director Serna is a recent manager of the service department and is doing his best to re-establish the service department to greatness. The repair work seems to be good quality and warranted for a year. Without any further problems related to their work I would return for additional repairs. More

Went for a starter replacement on a 2002 camry. They charged over $300 for the rebuilt starter and 2 hrs of labor another $200. The total was around $550 for a $100 starter that could have been change charged over $300 for the rebuilt starter and 2 hrs of labor another $200. The total was around $550 for a $100 starter that could have been changed by a beginner in less than an hour. I will never go to elmore toyota again. Although i have bought 3 new toyotas i will not consider another knowing that the toyota corp does such a poor job of controlling how their dealers price their service dept...... More

We had done our research, we knew exactly what cars we wanted to test drive and the packages we wanted and didn't want. We were looking at the Venza and the salesman claimed that all of them came with a m wanted to test drive and the packages we wanted and didn't want. We were looking at the Venza and the salesman claimed that all of them came with a moon roof. No matter that several of the Venzas in front of us didn't have them. This wasn't the worst of his lie-so-they think-you-know-what-you're-talking-about-xx. We test drove a RAV4 - our 2nd time in 2 days doing so - and I started asking about financing and package options. I told him that I didn't want the moon roof and back-up camera (which came together as part of a package). We were sitting in a RAV4 Sport with a moon roof and sales guy begins to tell me that there is no back-up camera in the vehicle and that the moon roof comes standard on the car. He actually began to argue with me - talking over me while I explained my question! I told him that if it was automatically included, they wouldn't list the price as an option on the window sticker. In the meantime, my husband pops the car in reverse, points at the back-up camera, and asks him "what is this?". The guy got caught in his lies! He knew NOTHING about the cars he was selling. I find this insulting to the buyer. However, just more incentive to do your research ahead of time, so you don't get "had" by these sleazeballs. After my husband finished driving the RAV4, I was supposed to drive. However, I was so disgusted that I got out of the car and told the guy we were done. The salesman then peeled away from us in the car - showing his distaste of the situation and his lack of class. Toyota dealerships were 0 for 2 by this point in our car buying. I may never own another Toyota if they continue to employ liars and incompetents like this. More

Visited this joke of a dealership two years ago before purchasing with Penske Toyota. I had put another bad review here for Carson as well. Where Carson was pushy, Elmore was pulling the credit score sc purchasing with Penske Toyota. I had put another bad review here for Carson as well. Where Carson was pushy, Elmore was pulling the credit score scam. They told me my credit score was barely above 500. Don't think so. I think that says enough about this place. Avoid! Walked out of here in a hurry. More
