Stay Away From these bait and switch jerks!!!!!!!!! I rented a Toyota Sienna from this dealership for the past 3 years to take our driving vacations. The rate has Always been $267.44, all taxes include I rented a Toyota Sienna from this dealership for the past 3 years to take our driving vacations. The rate has Always been $267.44, all taxes included, Last October 31st I returned the Sienna and the rental manager Joe Goodson, wanted to charge me an extra $70, even though I had all the rates in writing as to what I had agreed upon for pick up and return at the time of pickup. After a heated argument in the lobby he decided that I was right and agreed to the rate I was quoted. He also agreed to credit us 2 days rental on our next rental. This was probably done to shut me up. Today 1/4/17 my wife and I dropped into Continental Toyota to reserve the Sienna Van for our March vacation. Joe Goodson, rental manager, told us that our rate was $450 per week, without taxes. I asked why and showed him our previous bill for which he just pointed to his posted rates and said that is the rate. I know Joe recognized us and this was his way of screwing us for the argument that we had in October. Next I went to the General Manager Joe Miglio and told him our problem. He walked off to talk with Joe Goodson and came back and called my wife and I into a side office. Joe Miglio said that these were the posted rates and that he did not care about the rates that we were paying the past 3 years, the rate we just paid just 3 months ago or that we were a repeat customer. He indicated that there was nothing he could do. Great problem solver you have there at Continental Toyota!!! After pleading our case with him for about 10 minutes with no resolution, my wife and I got up and walked out. As we were leaving, I told Joe Miglio that I would be writing this negative review. His response was go right ahead....and he whispered something as we walked out the door under his breath. Sure sounded like xxxxxx to me. This is how you treat your REPEAT customers. I will never be back again and suggest no one do business with them unless you like being treated in this manner. Charge one price in October and more than doubled in January!!! More
Dishonesty with this dealership I have had my Toyota Yaris for several years and had been very happy with it. Recently, however, my car had begun stalling and wouldn't allow me to ac I have had my Toyota Yaris for several years and had been very happy with it. Recently, however, my car had begun stalling and wouldn't allow me to accelerate, which resulted in it finally dying on me. This prompted me to take it to Continental Toyota dealership to get a diagnostic for the work needed. After deciding to wait some time, I reluctantly decided to take it in to finally get the work done so the car would work properly and I could get to and from work. My trust in this dealership quickly began to diminish as the associate told me that the work they had said needed to be done previously would not fix the car, and I would need an additional diagnostic. After getting the second diagnostic done, they claimed there were many other things wrong with the car that would require me to spend an additional grand on top of the $800 they quoted earlier on. I refused to get it fixed there after being told different things for the same problem with the car after only a matter of weeks. They then told me that I couldn't even drive the car home because it was broken down from the diagnostic and I would need a tow truck! To my dismay, I went home and had the tow truck driver (a close friend to my partner) take my car to a mechanic near my home to get a second opinion. After speaking to the mechanic, I was shocked to learn that my car was in fact drivable, and the work Toyota said needed to be done was not what was causing the malfunction. To add on top of that, the mechanic told me when they received the car, the key was broken! After trying to explain what happened to a manager at Continental and what I had gone through, all he said they could do was give me $70 off $290 to get a new key! He didn't want to help because "it had been through too many hands," yet failed to understand how it would never have been taken anywhere else had they properly diagnosed it the first time. I know I can get the same key elsewhere for far less! Some help that was, I will make sure that when I purchase a new car in January, it is not through this dealership, or Toyota. This was such poor customer service that I never thought I'd receive from this company. More
Nothing stays the same, good things don't last Recall on front seat belts. Parts were ordered no one bothered to call me to tell me parts were in. I called and attempted to make an appointment onl Recall on front seat belts. Parts were ordered no one bothered to call me to tell me parts were in. I called and attempted to make an appointment only to be told that the parts were sent back because I didn't respond. How could I respond when they never called me. They reordered the parts and called me to tell me that the parts arrived. I made an appointment for Today October 29, my appointment was for 9:45. I arrived at the service department at 9:40 am. I was told it would take about 1 1/2 hours. I decided to wait. And wait I did. 4 hours and I'm still sitting in the waiting room. because they are trying to charge me $268 for recalled safety equipment, both front seat belts. I refused to pay and the cashier called someone out to see me. A service writer came out and said "do you have a question?". I said yes they are charging me for a recall that Toyota corporation issued and sent the notice to me. The service writer walked away The service writer never returned. Unfortunately I had to try to contact the general manager Joe Miglio. I tried calling three times only to be told he was not answering. The forth time I called worked. I had to have the general manager intervene. Joe listened and said he'd see about it. About 15 minutes later Joe came out with an invoice that was no charge and that it was a recall. I went out to retrieve my van that 20 minutes prior was supposed to be pulled up for me. Nope, it took Joe to tell the service personnel to get my van It 2:03 now. I wasted 4 1/2 hours of my life to have two seatbelts installed under a safety recall. It's ashamed it required the general manager to intercede to resolve this. Joe took care of the problem but the problem never should have happened. This was once a 5 star dealer. Like I said good things never last I don't know the name of the service writer but Joe Miglio knows. Sorry I had to bother you again but their is a definite cog in the wheels stopping things at Continental Toyota from working smoothly. My daughter who bought three vehicles from Continental tried to buy two new vechiles. After several calls to the sales department my daughter was told they couldn't match the deal (figures) on a 2016 loaded Tundra and a sienna. My daughter went to Toyota of Merriville Indiana and brought home two new Toyotas last night . Continental dropped the ball now 4 times. We should not have to require the assistance of the general manager everytime we attempt to do business with Continental Toyota by the way usually they wash you vechiles but not today and last time Joe Miglio had to tell them to wash the vechile 4 1/2 hours never again.

Because I can't give neagtive stars! Took my Rav 4 for it's first oil change and got it back with every imaginable light on that could be on! After 2 days I got it back and it still didn' Took my Rav 4 for it's first oil change and got it back with every imaginable light on that could be on! After 2 days I got it back and it still didn't run right. Asked Service Manager John Ficaro why it would be given back to me that way to begin with? He said the people who brought it out were not trained mechanics! I said you didn't have to be very well trained to see every dash light in the vehicle on. I was then informed by the service manager that I was ridiculous and ignorant! Last time every there. Took it back to Oak Brook Toyota and had it back in an hour running correctly at no charge! More
Rip-off, bad service with attitude I am going to review here my last few services in continental Toyota service. My last visit I wanted to do an alignment for my 2011 Avalon and the se I am going to review here my last few services in continental Toyota service. My last visit I wanted to do an alignment for my 2011 Avalon and the service consultant suggested to change the subwoofer wiring since there is a recall on it and covered by Toyota which I agreed on. I took my car after 40 mins and I drove it out for 10 minutes to discover that he didn't do a proper alignment, the car kept pulling to the right. Went back and talked with rich who called the technician with attitude. technician was rude and he said this pulling isn't an alignment problem. Back to rich who basically said that's this is the alignment and he is the manage and he won't do anything. He handed me the morning manger business card and said call and complain. He was non professional, and I felt unsafe in the place. I sent them an email but no response. Checking my car in the parking lot, I didn't find the plate license transporter(I-pass) the was on the plate. Most likely he took it off the previous visit that I did couple days before for brake service. He added a new screw to the plate, but took the I-pass off. I didn't feel safe going back to the place and just took off my account. The previous visit, I changed oil on my other Toyota and they didn't change the oil sticker and didn't reset the oil change light. The one before, I changed a flat tire and they didn't turn the flat tire signal off dashboard. It's a rip-off place that in every visit you expect the service consultant to bring you the cabin and engine filter even if you change them yesterday. I won't mind paying some extra money but at least to have your service done. In this place, you pay more and you don't get the service and they give you bad attitude if you complain. More
