My vehicle broke down near Rio Rancho at 5:10pm. I was stuck with my 2 year old daughter and didn't know what to do. I contacted American Toyota's service department and Lesley Brown answered the phone. stuck with my 2 year old daughter and didn't know what to do. I contacted American Toyota's service department and Lesley Brown answered the phone. She heard the distress in my voice and told me not to worry that they would have the vehicle towed to the service department and they would provide me with a loaner while they figured out what went wrong. I arrived to the dealership about 5 minutes before they closed and Lesley and the service guy Adrian Medina waited there for me. Adrian was very calm and patient while I explained what had happened to my vehicle. Lesley and Adrian both put me at ease and never made me feel like I was holding them up from going home. I really appreciate their efforts. I will recommend American Toyota to all my family and friends from now on and it is all due to these two individuals. Thank you. More

I have felt pressured by sales people in the past for other brands of cars, but felt relaxed and welcomed at LHM American Toyota. Clay Schroff and Phil his "boss" were really cool and were determined to other brands of cars, but felt relaxed and welcomed at LHM American Toyota. Clay Schroff and Phil his "boss" were really cool and were determined to get me financed, Clay especially, was soooo welcoming that he made purchasing a vehicle simple and fun. In addition, assisted with programming the Entune audio system. The whole purchase from start to finish was a snap. Thanks Again Clay Schroff....Hugh Rosen( new Prius C owner) More

My husband and I went in to look at a used Mini Cooper they had on their lot. Matise, the salesman found their was another one in the back that had been taken in the day prior. It hadn't even been washed they had on their lot. Matise, the salesman found their was another one in the back that had been taken in the day prior. It hadn't even been washed yet. We asked how much Matise said $12,000 (this particular one blue booked at $17,900, so we were very interested). We inquired about the broken windshield, and he assured us they would repair that at no additional charge. We test drove the car and loved it. We knew it would clean up nicely. We had no trade in as we were buying our second car. My husband and I had always privately financed, but checked with our bank and were told that yes, we would qualify for financing through our credit union at 3% APR. This was the first time we had ever purchased from a dealer. Matise brought over the finance guy. They assured me that my salesman had made a mistake on the price because it was actually $13,000. (That is still a great price for the car, so we agreed.) Then they told us that they would not pay for the windshield to be replaced at that price, it would be an additional $300. After some complaining, etc we agreed and told them we would be back tomorrow with a note from our Credit Union. Financing guy says, we can get you financed here through your credit union, insisted on it. Came back with a 9.75% APR. My husband really wanted the mini, and even with that we are still under the blue book value of the car, I begrudgingly signed the paperwork for the car and got the $5,000 down payment check. It was surprising when I received a phone call a week and a half later from Chase financial asking me to correct or verify my references. (I was livid! Chase lends predatorially and this was supposed to be through my bank!) I asked them about the two references I gave to the dealership, they said they had 4 from me. The first two they were able to verify, the last two they could not. I asked who else they had, they told me the names, I was shocked. I didn't know these people. I asked my husband, he said he didn't give any references to the dealership. I asked it the handwriting was the same from the first two, to the last two references. It was not. I asked where they got that information from and was told the dealership turned over the references. In the end we discovered that someone in the financing department had fraudulently put down 2 references from the phone book! We went down the next day to the credit union where we were told we would have to go back to the dealership to get the note transferred. We did and confronted them about the fraud and shady practices. They denied putting the references in fraudulently and insisted that I must have given Chase those references. We got the note changed, but not without some difficulty (but 6.75% APR is worth the battle.) I would never buy a car from them again, I tell everyone I know not to buy a car. We have already placed a grievance with the consumer protection agency for the fraud. P.S. American Toyota Scion get a healthy kickback when the financing goes through Chase. I have also since sold all of my stock from JP Morgan Chase. More

My Name: Greg Hobbs Vehicle: 2011 4runner SR5 My Name: Greg Hobbs Vehicle: 2011 4runner SR5 Mileage: 16531 (still under warranty) Date of service: March 7, 2012 Date of purchase: May 2011 My Name: Greg Hobbs Vehicle: 2011 4runner SR5 Mileage: 16531 (still under warranty) Date of service: March 7, 2012 Date of purchase: May 2011 Problem: Latch that holds the console lid down broke this morning (it's a plastic part). Called parts department at this dealership - they had the part and agreed to hold it for me. Visited the service department at lunch time. Explained that I was in a big hurry and showed them the broken latch. Employee told me that the vehicle was under warranty - I told him that the service department had the part. I offered to get the part and install it myself (only 2 screws). He explained that I would have to pay for the part under those circumstances and that I should let them do it ( free for me ). I reiterated that I was in a hurry - he said they could have it done in about 30 minutes. One hour later, they came to the waiting area, told me that the part was not covered under warranty, they had not installed the part, and that I could take my car. No part - no work done - a waste of my time and patience! I had to buy the damned part - only $15 - then watch 3 service managers look for a screwdriver to install it in my car waiting in the exit driveway. Took them less than 5 minutes. For $15 I would have purchased the part right away and installed it myself - just move on. Those jerks made me wait an hour to tell me that the part was non-warranty; well what can I say. I would've given the part away to make the customer happy for having to waste an hour. Complete incompetence in the service department!!! Fine guys in the parts department, but I will never use their service department again. A real shame that both of the Toyota dealers in Albuquerque are Larry H. Miller. I hope I have a better experience at the other dealership's service department. More

I brought my truck in for warranty service multiple times. First was a blower motor fan that was making noise. After a few months the part came in this was replaced with Michael as my service rep. Mon times. First was a blower motor fan that was making noise. After a few months the part came in this was replaced with Michael as my service rep. Months later the same chirping noise was back, "new redesigned part" was then installed. Returned due to a harsh ride condition with a heavy load, TSB T-SB-0359-10. Michael assured me the TSB would eliminate the harsh ride. Parts were ordered and he called when parts arrived. Springs were installed. When they brought the truck back to me they had scratched the door, they then tried to say the damage was already there. When I pointed out that there was paint remnants (blue) surrounding the damage from their lifts they conceded it was their fault and had the door repainted. After the spring install I noticed that one side of the truck sat higher than the other and there was vibration, I promptly called Mike and he said to let the springs settle in. I then took my truck to Firestone to have the alignment checked they noticed that the springs were on wrong and that there was some writing on my transmission crossmember reading "this guy is gay", no other human had been under my truck other than American Toyota. Called and spoke to Tim (as Michael was no longer with American) he made promises up and down that they would take care of me. Brought the truck straight from Firestone and had Tim put the truck on the lift to take pictures of the libel and to inspect the springs. One of the techs noticed that the bolts on the mounting bracket were improperly torqued causing the spring to be preloaded. Tim insisted that the reason for my vibration was due to my tires so he had them swapped out with another Tacoma stock wheels and tires. I explained to Tim all the trouble I had in the past with their service department and as I was relaying this to him on our test drive we noticed a strange noise and a different vibration. He pulls the truck to the side of the road and we find that the wheel had been flopping around, the lug nuts had been loosely put on. Tech returns to our location and torques down the nuts. Test drive reveals that tires are not the issue. I asked Tim to keep me apprised of what he had done about the libel, never heard anything about it again. New "re-redesigned" blower motor installed for the third time and rear differential ordered. Returned to dealer they replace the diff. due to a bearing that went out. Truck again returned to me with new scratches on the door frame. At this point I am so sick of dealing with the utter carelessness of the service dept. Truck still vibrates until you put it into four wheel drive the vibration then disappears. Bring truck back for more diagnosing, they come up with nothing. Bring in a Toyota tech from out of town, also stand around scratching their heads still trying to blame my Duratrac (265/75) tires. I try to slowly explain that it can not be the tires, they did not change from 2wd to 4wd. They tell me that they can't find anything wrong and recommend their sister dealership for further service. This and other experiences is why I buy my Toyotas from Beaver in Santa Fe. Their new car sales have always dealt professionally with me. I did not want to make the 45min trip to service my vehicles, figured it would be a waste of my time and money, as it turns out I was wrong. While on vacation in Boise ID Peterson Toyota took a look at my truck and had a much more knowledgeable, professional and receptive staff. They inspected the transmission and transfer case (which American did not do) I wish that they could be my service providers but alas I have to live in the city of crappy Toyota service departments. American/Larry H Miller Toyota has the worst group of management level employees in the customer service profession I have ever encountered (as other reviews already stated). They have complete disregard for your property, time, and customer input. More

Double-talking with hard sell of in-house financing & complete lack of integrity. These idiots must have thought I just fell off the turnip truck. The Chevy Avalance was priced at $23995. I ga complete lack of integrity. These idiots must have thought I just fell off the turnip truck. The Chevy Avalance was priced at $23995. I gave them the keys to my trade in. Their holding these became a form of kidnapping or being held hostage. I cannot abide that tactic. Then the salesman brought a sheet of what the shop cost of preparing the Avalance was. My position was that prep cost was not relevant to me. They said the price had to include that & suddenly asking price was now $26995. Three thousand increase - no way. My trade with book value trade in was $5000. Their first offer was for $2000. I protested so the sales manager slid trade in up to $6000 but that was with the jacked up sales price. I had detected two other potential customers walking out over them being treated in an insulting manner. I joined their ranks & raised my voice in criticism of the slippery slope pricing environment & rhetorically asked if they had many people walk out. I almost forgot about the twice being hard sold on in-house by the salesman & again by the sales manager. Sure they increase income with finder fee commissions. Incredible to run into such slimy used car salesmen type tactics when they represent one of the highest quality products. Never will I ever set foot in that place again & will advise against them.
