Lexus of Tampa Bay - Service Center

Don't Stand Behind Faulty Design I have a 2006 Lexus that has had problems for the last several years.

The lights on the dash intermittently come on and off and it has a very poor idle. Sometimes, the car takes a while to even drive because of the poor idling and stalling. I've taken it to them several times over the course of the last two years but the lights weren't on when it arrived and they told me unless the lights are on, we can't see what the problem is. I don't live near the dealership so everytime the lights came on by the time I scheduled an appt, the lights were off. Finally, my local service man told me to bring it in when the lights came on and he would scope it for me. The lights came on again and stayed on. Took it to the local guy who told me what the problem was and said there was a service bulletin and an extended warranty for unlimited mileage and 7 year extension, naturally, of which I'm just outside of that warranty period. I only have 50K miles on this car. Lexus denied the claim even though they were well aware that the piston system in all these cars were faulty and why they were forced to extend the warranty. I'm considering a class action as I've since found many many people with this problem and Lexus has refused to fix it. I thought that we would have been better at taking care of their customers. Will NOT be purchasing another Lexus and especially from this dealership. More

I had taken my 2001 Lexus in for one of it's regular servicings. Dave Jones, who had overseen my servicing for years, informed me after a short time that unexpected repairs needed on my car were going servicings. Dave Jones, who had overseen my servicing for years, informed me after a short time that unexpected repairs needed on my car were going to cost me almost as much as the car was now worth. He discussed options with me. Then going the extra mile, he even contacted the manager of the adjacent Lexus used car business, explained the situation, and asked them to help me look at my options with them as well before I made any decision on which direction to go - total repair, partial repair, or trade in on a new used Lexus. Larry Pfingsten, a salesman with the used Lexus cars, met with me immediately. I had looked at the possibility of getting a used Lexus previously with him just for future reference. Larry knew exactly what I wanted in a car as well as my financial limitations. He made it quite easy to determine which direction was the wiser move financially and quickly found just the right car for me. Everything was taken care of for me from calling my car insurance company to helping me learn how to set up and use Bluetooth in the new car. He also handled settling everything about my old car with Dave Jones. Within several hours everything was taken care of and I drove home in my new car! No one could as for better service or support than I had. More

Dave Jones is the best!! He is very upfront and honest. He personally makes sure my car is taken care of as if it was his own! My experience at Lexus has been good all-around He personally makes sure my car is taken care of as if it was his own! My experience at Lexus has been good all-around More

Their solid policy on outstanding customer service is evident from sales, to financing to service. When I most recently took my car for a required service, I got an appointment when it was convenient for me and was provided with a loaner car. Lexus of Tampa Bay delivers as promised.

Excellent customer service is NOT dead in America! Lexus of Tampa Bay exemplifies all that is right with a business: they are thoughtful and courteous, they have excellent products at fair prices, and they of Tampa Bay exemplifies all that is right with a business: they are thoughtful and courteous, they have excellent products at fair prices, and they KNOW their business. I purchased my Lexus 450H at this dealership, and I service it here as well. When I am there, my salesperson, Richard LaFay, is always friendly and wants to know how he can help. The service people are excellent, also. I was greeted right on time for my service repair appointment, had a seat and made a delicious cup of coffee in their luxurious waiting area, used their wifi, and within almost no time, my car was ready. Having continuous questions about how to use the bluetooth on my phone is not a problem; Richard is always so welcoming and knowledgeable. He really is a wizard at helping me with any technological gadgetry on my new Lexus. Having him as my salesperson was a true stroke of luck for me! I would recommend this dealership, and especially Richard LaFay to any of my good friends and family. More

Called for an appointment to get a air sensor for run flats and checked to see if they had the part. Drove in 30 miles and they were out of the part. Cost me another round trip of 60 miles. Then this flats and checked to see if they had the part. Drove in 30 miles and they were out of the part. Cost me another round trip of 60 miles. Then this Tuesday, I called twice to Service to get a phone mail and left msgs both times. No one returned my call by the next afternoon. Called Parts and waited 25 minutes but was in periodic contact with the front desk. She finally took my number and the info on the battery I wanted and said they would call back - they never did. Called Wednesday and finally got to talk with someone in Service for an oil change - nothing available until next Monday and then I got disconnected. These people are horrible - I would rather take my car to a Ford dealership More
