Toyota of Gladstone - Service Center

i have not dealt with the sales dept. of this dealership, but the service department is the best! even the person on the phone who made the appointment was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. the sho but the service department is the best! even the person on the phone who made the appointment was courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. the shop is clean and welcoming. i came to gladstone because another dealership (broadway toyota) was trying to swindle me- they said that my engine was shot and i needed to trade in my car for "one on their lot". i obviously wanted a second opinion, and the gladstone toyota service department came through with flying colors. i was given in writing a full and thorough explanation of everything that would be done to my 2000 celica for its 60,000-mile tune-up before anything was done. Skye made me feel appreciated and took his time to let me decide what my options were. they gave me a loaner car for FREE while the service was done, which Tiffany took care of in the most cheerful and personable way, making sure i would be driving a vehicle which would suit me. she was terrific. Skye called me during the course of the service to let me know how things were going, and when he diagnosed the loose timing chain (which broadway toyota said would cost $6000-$9000 to fix, unless i traded it in), he quoted a repair of $746, in writing, and with an honest assessment of how soon it needed to be taken care of. the car was ready to be picked up at the promised time and was spotless inside and out. all in all, it was an excellent experience. it is a long way for me to get there (45 minutes one way), and they are probably not the cheapest in town, but the overall professionalism and regard shown by everyone i had contact with was well worth the drive and every penny. they offered a complete and itemized list of all that was done, and a year's warranty on all parts and labor. i didn't tell them anything about my experience with broadway toyota, so they had nothing to prove to me other than their own professionalism and honesty. what a great shop.

Charged more than the quote because my Toyota Tacoma takes a little extra oil. A Toyota dealership should know how much oil a Tacoma takes. They charged more than $30 dollars extra. takes a little extra oil. A Toyota dealership should know how much oil a Tacoma takes. They charged more than $30 dollars extra. More
