Smithtown Toyota responded

I am sorry to hear that you were so dissatisfied with your recent service experience. When you initially came in, you were quoted $105 for mounting and balancing a set of 4 tires that you provided. When the technician began removing the original tires, he found that two of the valves were seized. Because the valves on the sensors were seized, the tires could not be swapped without replacing and programming the sensors. The final total for the 4-tire mounting and balancing that you originally came in for, as well as parts and labor for replacing and programming two sensors came to $446.94 plus sales tax. I would be glad to discuss your service bill in further detail. Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Smithtown Toyota responded

I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience at Smithtown Toyota. While I did not personally see your vehicle when you returned with the broken latch, both our service department as well as our express maintenance department were able to examine your vehicle and I am confident in their assessment that the latch was broken due to normal wear and tear and not as a result of the technician opening and closing the hood during the service. Hood latches can become corroded over time and eventually break. I understand that a week can be a long wait for a part and I apologize that we were unable to get you the new latch any sooner. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss this in further detail. Sincerely, Lauren Karakasians | customer.relations@smithtowntoyota.com | (631)724-3100 ext. 239

Smithtown Toyota responded

Thank you for letting us know about your experience. I apologize if there was any misunderstanding regarding our pricing when you called prior to your visit. I spoke with the Service Advisor that assisted you and she informed me that she explained the diagnostic charge to you in person when you dropped the vehicle off. She let you know that it was your decision whether you would like to move forward or not and she told you how much the diagnostic charge would be if you chose to proceed. You decided to go ahead with the work and you were charged the amount that was discussed when you dropped your vehicle off. Please let me know if you do not have the work order and estimate that you signed when you came in and I will provide you with a copy of it. If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss this in further detail, please reach out to me directly at your earliest convenience.

Smithtown Toyota responded

Thank you for providing your feedback. It seems like you had a negative experience either with our dealership personally or with Toyota in general and I would like to first apologize for anything that has occurred leading up to this review. Next, I would like to clarify that ToyotaCare is in fact a national program that is offered by Toyota. As an authorized Toyota dealer, we are able to perform ToyotaCare services on all eligible vehicles. I would be more than happy to discuss your experience as well as the details of the ToyotaCare program with you to gain some insight into your complaint and clear up any misunderstandings. Please contact me at your earliest convenience so that we can work toward resolving your concerns. Sincerely, Lauren Karakasians, Customer Relations Manager, Smithtown Toyota, (631)724-3100 ext. 239.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience, but can assure our car wash staff would never rummage through someone’s belongings. The service provided is also only an exterior wash, not interior.
