Tom Pappas Toyota

Sales experience Dakota was awesome. No pressure and waited until I was ready to buy. It took about 6 months and 4 or so visits and each time he was helpful and had Dakota was awesome. No pressure and waited until I was ready to buy. It took about 6 months and 4 or so visits and each time he was helpful and had the information I was like looking for. When I did buy I came on a busy Saturday and the only issue I had is the process took a long time. To be fair I test drove two cars and and the one I finally purchased I test drove for a long time. I sincerely recommend Dakota and Pappas very highly. The service department is awesome as well. My wife’s car is a Toyota (purchased elsewhere unfortunately). And I have received regular service on it at Pappas ever since I purchased it. More

Unscheduled Visit On a Friday afternoon getting ready to run an errand, my 2009 Highlander Hybrid wouldn't start. It had sat in the garage for about a week while we we On a Friday afternoon getting ready to run an errand, my 2009 Highlander Hybrid wouldn't start. It had sat in the garage for about a week while we were gone on vacation. All of my dashboard lights came on, but the vehicle wouldn't start. Instead, the message center displayed "Have the dealer check the brake system." After looking under the vehicle and not seeing any vehicle fluids under it, I tried starting the vehicle twice more, but each time the result was the same. I called the Pappas Toyota service department and asked to talk with Pat Ragan, the customer service advisor who I routinely request. However, he was busy with another customer. I left my cell phone number for him to call me back, and my wife and I prepared to leave the house in our other vehicle. But before leaving, I decided to try the Highlander one more time. On this try, the vehicle started. After running it for several minutes, I turned it off, then immediately started the vehicle, again. Having confidence it would start should I turn it off, my wife followed me in our other vehicle as I made a couple of stops before we went to the dealership. As I pulled into the open air customer vehicle drop-off area at 4:30 p.m. on a VERY HOT Friday afternoon for an unscheduled service appointment, Patrick, who was already a half-hour past his scheduled quitting time and sweating profusely, spotted me and asked me what was up. I explained to him what had happened. Patrick immediately explained that what I was describing made sense if the battery had a bad cell or was going out. Patrick pulled the vehicle out onto the parking lot because he had to clean the corrosion off the battery terminals, and he tested the battery, which indicated it was not delivering it's rated cold start amps. Coupled with the manufacturing date on the battery, Patrick felt we had a good diagnosis. However, he decided to check to see if the vehicle computer stored any ABS codes from when it wouldn't start up for me. After verifying there weren't any codes stored, Patrick explained a few options to me, including doing nothing and just monitoring the issue until my next service appointment through replacing the battery now. After I had him look up he installation date on the battery (just under 4-years), Patrick explained to me that Toyota's pro-rated replacement plan for the battery, which was clearly under performing its rating and age. I decided to replace the battery immediately. Patrick told me he would work to get it in before the shop closed at 6:00 p.m. so I wouldn't have to leave the vehicle overnight. In addition, he said he would call me when the vehicle was done. While my wife and I had a nice evening meal, the vehicle was serviced. Patrick called me a few minutes before 6:00 p.m. to let me know the vehicle was done, and I could stop in any time up until 9:00 p.m. to pay for the service and pick the vehicle up, which we did at 8:00 p.m. Patrick went well beyond the call of duty to help me out of a difficult situation with my Highlander. Not only did he stay well after his scheduled shift on a Friday afternoon in hot sweltering conditions, but he also diligently checked out my vehicle for me to help me decide on a course of action. In addition, Patrick also worked with the shop to work in my vehicle with less than two hours left in the day, so I wouldn't have to leave the vehicle overnight, AND he didn't charge me extra for his diagnostic work. It is no wonder I ALWAYS ask for Patrick when I schedule my maintenance service with Pappas Toyota, and it is why I will keep bringing my Highlander back to Pappas Toyota time and time again for servicing. "Customer Care" isn't just a slogan for Patrick but rather his demonstrated work ethic. To me, Patrick isn't just my customer service advisor but also a trusted friend. More

Great Support for 2014 Sienna My wife and I were in the market for a newer, used Sienna, and received great service and support by Blake Balkenbush late one Friday night recently. My wife and I were in the market for a newer, used Sienna, and received great service and support by Blake Balkenbush late one Friday night recently. Initially, we did not immediately purchase the vehicle, but two weeks later we contacted Blake again to test drive the vehicle a second time. Blake was out of town, but he arranged for his colleague Ryan Ferguson to assist. We purchased the 2014 Sienna on 22 Jun 2019, and were very pleased with the customer service by Blake and Ryan. Blake is new to Pappas, but I think he has a bright future! This is the second Toyota we purchased at Pappas, and we have been very pleased both times. More
