Being new to the area, I needed to decide where I would have my RAV serviced. I first spoke with Jacob to make the initial appointment and felt very confident and comfortable with my decision. Unfortunat have my RAV serviced. I first spoke with Jacob to make the initial appointment and felt very confident and comfortable with my decision. Unfortunately, I was running late from a previous appointment when the time came and I attempted to make a change.. That part was difficult as they were very busy, but eventually, they were able to fit me in the next morning. Jacob greeted me professionally and proficiently when I walked through the door. He walked me through the process and made sure I was comfortable while I waited. When the work was completed, every item I mentioned was attended to and he went the extra distance to make sure that I was familiar with the onboard system after listening to all my frustrations. I was very impressed and unexpectedly comfortable. Jacob made me feel as though I had been going there for years. He instilled a sense of trust in me by listening and following through with what he said he would do. Richard also greeted me when I first arrived and provided me with information that he researched to address questions I had after speaking with me the day before. The greeting was very warm, friendly, and informative. More

Bad experience when I went to get my tire checked out for a leak. Jeffery at the counter did not come to tell me that they found the hole in the middle and took out the tire and damaged it on the rim. They a leak. Jeffery at the counter did not come to tell me that they found the hole in the middle and took out the tire and damaged it on the rim. They put the spare tire and then came to tell me. He said since there is a hole near the rim it cannot be repaired. I asked him why didn't he tell me before taking out the tire. Very unhappy with their behavior. Bad technicians and customer service.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT Brought my 2018 Tundra 1794 in because the battery died again. I was told I did not drive my truck enough 5016 miles to keep the battery charged, and Brought my 2018 Tundra 1794 in because the battery died again. I was told I did not drive my truck enough 5016 miles to keep the battery charged, and that I should drive it more or buy a battery tender for it, I was told because it has computers on the truck that suck the battery down. I am confused that at over $60,000.00 for a truck they suggest a battery tender, I start this truck every other day and let it run for 20 minutes, besides some driving. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SUPPORT FROM THE SERVICE DEPT. I mean do they start their inventory every day or have battery tenders on all of them? More

Extremely bad customer service by sales manager (Update below original review) Original Review January 2019 Usually pretty decent experience with recalls. Yet latest experience was extremely po (Update below original review) Original Review January 2019 Usually pretty decent experience with recalls. Yet latest experience was extremely poor. Specifically a dead battery when my wife came to pickup our vehicle that had a recall completed the day before by Gale Toyota. (This is a 2012 vehicle with regular maintenance done to it that had no problem starting in colder weather leading up to recall). instead of addressing issue they simply gave my wife a jump and sent her on her way. Sure enough at next stop at costco - car would not start. Initial service rep I spoke to after hearing about the initial jump told me that “we put car into accessory mode during the recall, combined with cold night could have caused issue” - When calling back after hearing that car doesnt start anymore - and asking them to send someone (my wife was closeby at costco) - to at least give her a jump again - was told they cant send anyone, after escalating to sales manager (Jason I believe) (service manager was out) was fed a bunch of excuses of how this is not their fault and “your wife could have left the lights on while shopping “. At this point naturally I got a little upset - and told them that I would prefer to have them do the right thing - yet if they do not we will get a tow ourselves and then they will receive a demand letter from attorney to reimburse us. To which the sales manager acted extremely unprofessionally, getting disrespectful, as well as stating that he wont let anyone threaten him, how conversation was over etc. Finally after he calmed down when I asked him how it would make him feel if this happened to his wife - he said they would try to help and he would call me back which he did after a few minutes - (in the meantime my wife was able to get a jump from costco tire service) as I was attempting to tell the sales manager on his return call that i appreciate him trying to turn this around and do the right thing - he rudely interrupted me, accused me of mistreating his employees (claiming he listened to their “tapes”) - and proceeded to tell me to find another dealership to work with. Amazing how they think that it is a good idea to 1) send my wife on her way with just a jump in 15 degree weather 2) to think that customer service is “man handling” your customers and try to assert some type of superiority (instead of de-escalating a clearly upset husband that has his wife stranded with a dead battery after Gale Toyota performed a recall) 3) to conclude all of this by adding insult to injury when I was about to complement them on attempting to do the right thing - to imply they do not want customers such as us at their dealership. Wow. No worries Gale Toyota - we hear you loud and clear - we will take our business to Balise Toyota who from what we hear understands customer service - and will get our car purchases in the future as well as friends and family referrals. #FailedCustomerService UPDATE 2/22/19 Service Manager reached out, apologized and went out of his way to make this right. Very glad that they took ownership of the issue at least after the fact. Service manager replaced the battery and personally apologized to my wife. Sales manager however made no attempt at all to make this right. So 4.5 stars for service, ZERO star for sales (how hard can it be to pick up the phone and apologize) Average 3 stars. More
