Hanlees Hilltop Toyota

The WORST customer service you can imagine! Avoid!! The WORST customer service you can imagine! Avoid!! David Ruiter - the Sales Manager - is one of the most pompous, arrogant "customer service" The WORST customer service you can imagine! Avoid!! David Ruiter - the Sales Manager - is one of the most pompous, arrogant "customer service" reps I have ever encountered. I ordered a Prius online from Toyota in September 2011. When it finally arrived at Hanlees Toyota in late April 2012, I received messages insisting that I come in "right away" to pick up the car - even though I had informed them (in writing) that I would be in New York that week. They then called to say I should contact them immediately because "this type of car is in high demand" - even though this was a car I had special ordered and paid a deposit for - not one just sitting on the lot and available for public sale. A different Hanlees salesman, Hamilton Maldonado, told me I would need to supply them with "three credit references" to get the car. When I informed Ruiter that I had pre-approved credit (and an electronic check) through USAA so I would not need financing through Hanlees, he insisted that I would not be able to pick up the car until they had run a separate credit check on me. He then threatened that: “we will sell your car to someone else.” This type of coercive, high, pressure sales tactics – attempting to force me to go through their credit department – is both unethical and a likely violation of California’s statutes prohibiting unfair and deceptive sales practices. I have owned a Toyota Prius for over the decade, and love the car and was looking forward to owning a second one, but I received unbelievably rude and unprofessional treatment at Hanlees Toyota and would NEVER recommend them to anyone.

I'm glad I didn't read these reviews before I walked into the dealership! Because I just bought my new car from Hanlees, and I can't rave about their sales department enough! A+ customer service!

The manager asked the sale person to attend to someone else and left us standing with no one to assist us. We walk away and went to another dealer. else and left us standing with no one to assist us. We walk away and went to another dealer. More

My name is Courtney Burt and I am having a problem with Hanlees Hilltop Toyota in Richmond. I purchased a 2000 Honda Accord in 04/05. When I purchsed the car the SRS (airbag) light was on. The agreement Hanlees Hilltop Toyota in Richmond. I purchased a 2000 Honda Accord in 04/05. When I purchsed the car the SRS (airbag) light was on. The agreement was that the light would be fixed or I would not purchase the car. They reset the light and I was satified. Not too long after the light came back on! Toyota then replaced the SRS module. A few months later the light came on again, and they sent the car to Honda. I believe the module was replaced again and the light was reset. Now the SRS light is on again and Toyota is doing nothing to help me. I purchased the Extended Warranty from Toyota in which my car is still covered under. On top of that, when I purchased the car, there was dull paint marks all around. The deal was also that they fixed it or no deal. The repainted sections of the car and left dried drips of clear coat! I had them repaint and now the paint is cracked and chipping on the front bumper. Please Help!! More

One three seperate visits I was confronted with aggressive sales people who had zero knowledge of Yaris stock or knowledge of this car and its features. I was actually followed throught the lot by aggressive sales people who had zero knowledge of Yaris stock or knowledge of this car and its features. I was actually followed throught the lot by a sales woman who was shouting questions at me but was totally unable to answer any of my questions. Training, training, training. The sales manager needs to spend less time on the golf course and more time educating the sales staff. On two of my visits both sales persons immediately told me that they were new there. Should that mean that they don't know thier product? So why would I want to do business with them? More
