THIS DEALERSHIP LOVES SENDING OUT "BAIT AND SWITCH" TYPE FLIERS IN THE MAIL AND LOYALTY TO LONG TERM CUSTOMERS IS NON EXISTANT. THE SALESMEN ACTUALY FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER AND THE BUYING PROCESS SWITCH" TYPE FLIERS IN THE MAIL AND LOYALTY TO LONG TERM CUSTOMERS IS NON EXISTANT. THE SALESMEN ACTUALY FIGHT WITH EACH OTHER AND THE BUYING PROCESS IS UNCOMFORTABLE. I HAD TO GO TO TOYOTA CORPORATE TO REMEDY WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE WARRANTY FIX. THE OWNER OF LIPTON COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS. HE ALSO TRIED TO CLAIM CREDIT FOR CORPORATE SENDING ME A CHECK TO COVER MY COSTS. HE WAS THE REASON I HAD TO CONTACT TOYOTA CORPORATE! THERE IS A BRIGHT SPOT AND THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE FOUND. SERVICE MANAGER SEAN KESSON. HE HAS GREAT PEOPLE SKILLS AND IS TOP NOTCH OVER ALL. HE UNDERSTANDS HOW TO SPEAK TO CUSTOMERS....HE SHINES IN A PLACE WITH FEW SHINIG AREAS. (THE SHUTTLE SERVICE BACK TO WORK IS ALSO NICE.) I SEE MR. KESSON FOR MY DEALER REQUIRED WORK, NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. EVEN WITH THE TWO NEW VEHICLES THAT I RECENTLY PURCHASED ELSEWHERE. LIPTON CAN THANK MR. KESSON FOR EACH AND EVERY DIME THAT I GIVE THEM.

I was at Lipton used cars for my daughter today. I wanted her to pay for it but I would handle the down payment for her. Because she had only been working a job for less than a year all the auto financing co her to pay for it but I would handle the down payment for her. Because she had only been working a job for less than a year all the auto financing companies insisted on a huge down payment and me as a co-signer. I wanted her to be independent and not have me as a co-signer. Jimmy Lagle helped us get the car financed with Rich Gonzalez. They were great. More
I have 2013 Camry hybrid I took my car to this dealer service because I got a recall letter. I had to wait almost 15 mins to talk to the service advisor named Eddie when other advisors didn't have any c service because I got a recall letter. I had to wait almost 15 mins to talk to the service advisor named Eddie when other advisors didn't have any customers. I asked Robert if I could talk to other advisor instead of Eddie bc he seems to be busy with a customer. Robert said he will help me after he is done sorting his paper which took another 5 mins. I told him I came here bc I had a recall and told him please have my car go through a car wash after the service is done. After the car was done, Eddie calls me on the phone and said my car is ready and is out in the front. From my past experience with any service dealers, the advisor finds you in the waiting area and explain what they done to the car. I noticed other advisors were coming to the waiting room to talk to the customers but Not him. Maybe this place just calls you on the phone I just don't know. I finally found him and he looked so unhappy and I asked him if the car had been washed and he said he didn't think so and told me it will be about another 10 mins. I told him I specifically requested the car wash and why it wasn't done and he simply said it wasn't wrote up (once again with didn't care attitude). I waited 10 mins and while the car is being washed I noticed the invoice didn't explain what they've done to the car. I had to find him again and asked and he circles the DOT and said this means they replaced the part. I am not a mechanic nor do I work in this industry so how am I supposed to know DOT means the part was replaced? He should have told me what they've done to the car when he handed me the invoice. I shouldn't have to flag him down and ask him. Maybe he had a bad day or stressful day. I had to rate only on the advisor's attitude towards me during my visit since it was recall and I didn't have to pay for the work. The overall experience with the service wasn't bad. They took it in and finished within promised time. I was actually impressed with punctuality. The waiting area was small but comfortable. They even had a concierge kiosk where a nice lady made me a good cup of coffee. I would have given 4 stars for overall experience but had to deduct a star because of my experience with not so friendly advisor. More

Lipton Toyota worked very hard to get me a lease on a brand new 2013 Toyota Camry on getting me the monthly payment I was aiming for and the money I wanted to put down. I worked with Fitzroy Blake and he brand new 2013 Toyota Camry on getting me the monthly payment I was aiming for and the money I wanted to put down. I worked with Fitzroy Blake and he was very nice from the beginning and was not pushy at all. He worked hard to make sure I was going to be happy with the payments and the car. My car was shined up and I left the dealership with a full tank of gas! More
We felt we did not get treated fairly and felt we were a burden to the dealership for the following reasons: -We made an appointment to visit Lipton Toyota to see a specific vehicle on Friday, October 4th burden to the dealership for the following reasons: -We made an appointment to visit Lipton Toyota to see a specific vehicle on Friday, October 4th to come in on October 7th. When we arrived, the car still had the prior owner’s blue tooth settings on the car and the car had no gas. The car should have been ready prior to us arriving. - We were lied to as far as the pricing of the pre-owned vehicle and the new vehicle. When we originally spoke on the phone, we were told to not pay attention to the quote we received online and that he would work with us. He did not budge at all from that price. The fees added to the pre-owned car are bogus, such as “taxable fees” and “doc fees”. When we originally asked if the price given to us was the best for the new car we were told, that was it. However, later when reviewing payments and financing somehow they came down on the price. I also know that is not the lowest because when I received a quote from True Car for this dealer the price came in at about $3,500 less than what we were quoted. - We were lied to as far as the 2014 Highlander features. I researched on the Toyota website and the 2014 Highlander contains new features when we were told nothing would change on the newer model. - On the pre-owned vehicle there were flaws in the car that I questioned and the dealer acted as if they could not repair them. What is the bumper to bumper warranty available for if that is the case? - We were very upset about the amount offered for my trade in car. Car max was able to offer us over 50% greater than what the dealer was willing to offer us and again, that was not negotiable. These are just a few of the things we encountered when we visited. We have already purchased a vehicle from this dealership and felt this is not how a returning customer should be treated. We drove in horrible weather conditions to visit the dealership to make our appointment. We do not expect to have a red carpet rolled out but the least they could have done was have the car that we were expecting to see ready to be seen and driven, especially when there was a four day notice. We will never recommend this dealership again, in fact we will probably deter other customers from visiting your dealership. And to follow up, we bought a brand new Toyota Highlander from Toyota of Hollywood who took care of us wonderfully. More

Mr. Nagle, Thank u for taking the time to send me the e-mail letter. I would like to let u know of my unpleasant experience with your dealership and why I wouldn't recommend it. Initially, I walked in t e-mail letter. I would like to let u know of my unpleasant experience with your dealership and why I wouldn't recommend it. Initially, I walked in to speak with u regarding my feelings re: purchase of this auto but u were in a meeting and I was told to make an appointment. In your absence I spoke with Ira Greenbaum who was most pleasant and cordial and followed up with the promised work order initially requested by me to Alberto Cepeda& Billy Goodger.. which was agreed upon but not delivered. I feel they both took advantage and added on charges that were not disclosed properly..They kept saying it was Florida's State law . I don't understand why they charged me $400.00 for Hydrogen Air. On Facebook and anyone I spoke to never, ever, paid for Hydrogen Air,,, and they also come back for Hydrogen Air free of charge whenever needed. That's #1 #2..Also, why do u charge $998.00 for Pre-delivery Service when Honda charges $600.00 for a brand new car (Honda Accord which I purchased in 2012) You see, my Honda was stolen and I was led to believe It would never be recovered as Honda is the #1 car for car thieves.. I foolishly went and bought the Avalon and that very same night I got a call from the police that my car was found. It was involved in a shoot-out but my car was not damaged in any way. I wanted to return the Avalon (I only had it for 1 day) but your Mr Gonzales was very adamant about it and would not accept the keys back. Incidentally, I do not find him to be the mot pleasant person So, here I am with 2 cars but I finally did sell the Honda. Getting back to the $998. charge I strongly feel that's outrageous and u are overcharging. I don't believe the charge went up $400.00 in one year, I can show you on the purchase order from Honda the charge was $600.00 #3. I implicitly told Albert and Billy this was a cash deal and they gave it to the Finance company. They also ordered a new plate and tag for the Avalon when JaSON WAS TOLD NOT TO ORDER A NEW TAG AS i HAD MY TAG FROM THE HONDA. I must admit I told them that I would pay in full by the End of Sept. and I did not pay till Oct. 9 but they did have my phone number to call me about the matter. I never gave them authorization or in writing to give it to the finance company, Jason did take care of it (he's a wonderful person) and it has been paid in full. Also, It was Mr Gonzales (I'm told) who informed Jason to give it to the finance company and when I confronted him about it he always has an answer. I'm Sorry Mr. Lagle, to burden u with all my complaints however I hope u understand and commiserate with all I had to deal with in purchasing the car. I will say I'm enjoying the car, it handles very nicely and good performance. Sincerely. Blanche Broeder More
