Tustin Toyota

Just last week, I caught them lying to me abo This is for service department only. Attention Toyota owners. TUSTIN TOYOTA WILL LIE TO GET YOUR MONEY! Just last week, I caught them lying to me about which parts to fix. When they told me it would cost $2000 to fix parts, I became suspicious and went to go through all the history. Then I discovered that I was told to fix two parts ($400) that were already fixed only 3 months ago. Furious, I went back and asked them what’s going on. The serviceman looked puzzled and effortlessly told me that mechanics from 3 months ago must have not fixed things correctly (which means I’ve been driving an unfixed car for 3 months even though I paid). The next day, I came back to talk to the head manager, who did a car checkup himself. He told me that those two parts were fine and that the previous serviceman was wrong (speechless). For Toyota owners who visit Tustin Toyota service department, think about the following question: Every time you went there to do a simple oil change, do they seem to tell you to fix certain parts, which comes up to about $200-500? Remember that $2000 fix that I talked about in the beginning? I actually visited 3 different and trusted repair centers; all of them told me that Toyota’s recommendations are not required at this time. They also told me to come back for the next oil change and estimated it would cost less than $500 to clean up and fix everything as opposed to Toyota’s $2000. Knowing that this is a serious problem and after talking to a couple of mechanics, I came up with the following conclusions: 1. Tustin Toyota will tell you to fix parts even though it’s not an emergency. 2. Tustin Toyota browses your past history and will intentionally tell you to fix parts you don’t need. In other words, Tustin Toyota will lie to get your money. I highly recommend finding either another Toyota service center or a trusted local place. More

The initial guy, Mike, that showed us the car was great. He quickly ascertained what we needed and were looking for. He had a great car for us, a Camry with low miles. We came in looking, as we had been w He quickly ascertained what we needed and were looking for. He had a great car for us, a Camry with low miles. We came in looking, as we had been working late. He switched us over to a closer who was more pressured. I was hoping we could give a deposit and close all the paperwork the next day, but no way. In any case the car seems great and we got a fair bluebook price for it. More

WARNING: THIS PLACE CHEATED ME IN SEVERAL WAYS! My hybrid car was towed there because it would not start. CHEAT #1: After a diagnosis (which I wonder if they ever did), they called and told me it needs a new car was towed there because it would not start. CHEAT #1: After a diagnosis (which I wonder if they ever did), they called and told me it needs a new hybrid (HV) battery for $3600. They said the warranty was void b/c car was a salvage title (damage was minor and nowhere near the battery which is behind the back seat). CHEAT #2: When I asked if they tried to charge the HV battery, they said a charger does not exist (it does). CHEAT #3: I insisted they call in a regional service rep (who can bring a special HV battery charger) and try to charge it before telling me they need to replace it. A week later, they called and said the wiring harness is damaged and will cost $1800 to replace. I argued that only a small plastic part of the fuse block was loosely attached (a plastic mounting tab was broken) which had nothing to do with electrical function. I went to the dealer and asked Roy to show me the wiring damage. Roy said they didn't spend enough time on it to pinpoint the wiring damage, and if I didn't want to do the work I can take the car without charge. He said they won't charge for the diagnosis (no wonder, they didn't do anything they can charge me for except wild guesses about what was wrong) or storage or anything. CHEAT #4: When I saw my car there, the car windows were wide open and plastic sheets were taped on the car, flapping in the breeze. It had rained hard the week before. I asked Roy why my windows were open, and he said the battery had died while they were checking my car (NOTE: IT IS A BRAND NEW TOYOTA BATTERY, FULLY CHARGED WHEN I TOWED THE CAR THERE. I HAVE TO CONCLUDE THE TECHNICIAN KILLED THE BATTERY BY LEAVING THE IGNITION ON A FULL DAY WITHOUT A BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTED. THEN, INSTEAD OF CHARGING IT, THEY LEFT THE CAR OUTSIDE FOR WEEKS IN THE RAIN WITH PLASTIC SHEET POORLY TAPED TO IT, FLAPPING AROUND, LETTING RAIN INTO THE CAR! WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR CAR TREATED THIS WAY?). As I left, I told Roy I'll have the car towed out without repairs and to please charge the battery they killed so that it can be rolled in "N". This hybrid won't shift to and stay in "N" unless the battery is charged. CHEAT #5: I went there with a tow truck on a Saturday to take the car (no charge, remember what Roy said) but Roy said they were too busy and to come back!! He hadn't charged the battery either. He said not to come on a Saturday because they don't want my car "blocking their busy Saturday traffic"! THE BIG CHEAT #6: Before I towed the car there, I called and asked if they charge storage if a car is not picked up for a month of longer. They stated they do not charge storage. A few weeks later, I got a letter from Tustin Toyota that I owe over $2000 for storage COUNTED FROM THE DAY I FIRST TOWED THE CAR TO THEM!! I CALLED ROY AND WE ARGUED BUT HE SAID THAT WAS WHAT I OWED. PERIOD. HE SAID DESPITE WHAT ANYONE TOLD ME ON THE PHONE BEFORE I DROPPED OFF THE CAR, THE PAPERWORK I SIGNED WHEN I DROPPED OFF THE CAR CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT THEY CAN CHARGE STORAGE. SUMMARY: THE WIRING HARNESS (THEY TRIED TO CHEAT ME FOR $1800 TO REPLACE) HAS NOTHING FUNCTIONALLY WRONG, ONLY A SMALL COSMETIC DEFECT. A COMPETENT TECHNICIAN KNOWS THIS. I BELIEVE ROY KNEW THIS. I GOT MY CAR BACK, HAD THE HV BATTERY CHARGED AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP!! (THEY TRIED TO CHEAT ME FOR $3600 TO REPLACE IT). THEY NEVER TRIED TO CHARGE THE HV BATTERY, BECAUSE IF THEY DID IT WOULD HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR UNDER 1 HOUR LABOR. THEY KILLED MY NEW AUXILIARY BATTERY THROUGH NEGLIGENCE, LEFT IT DISCHARGED FOR WEEKS (BAD FOR BATTERY), LEFT IT OUTSIDE IN THE RAINS WITH WINDOWS WIDE OPEN (LEAKING RAIN AND DIRT INTO CAR, GETTING DOOR SWITCHES WET AND SEATS FILTHY WITH DIRT AND DUST), LIED OT ME ABOUT NOT CHARGING STORAGE, THEN HELD MY CAR RANSOM UNLESS I PAID OVER $2000 FOR NOTHING -- NO WORK WHATSOEVER WAS PERFORMED!! ONLY LIES AND CHEATING AND SCAMS!! MY CAR HAS MANY FRESH SCRATCHES ON THE BODY FROM WHEN IT WAS PARKED AT THEIR SERVICE LOT! THE AUXILIARY BATTERY IS DAMAGED. THE INTERIOR IS FILTHY FROM RAIN AND DUST. I OWN 7 TOYOTAS, AND BOUGHT 2 NEW CARS FROM TUSTIN TOYOTA, BUT I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS OF ANY KIND AGAIN WITH TUSTIN TOYOTA!! IF THEY SAY THEY WON'T CHARGE STORAGE, GET IT IN WRITING BEFORE YOU DROP OFF YOUR CAR! BETTER YET, TAKE YOUR CAR ELSEWHERE OR PREPARE TO GET LIES AND NEW DAMAGE TO IT!! More

We started our search for a 2011 or 2010 Scion TC in Orange County where we live. We visited Tustin Toyota. The sales manager, Ricardo and sales person Sandra were very friendly, not pushy, and most Orange County where we live. We visited Tustin Toyota. The sales manager, Ricardo and sales person Sandra were very friendly, not pushy, and most importantly, dealt with us honestly. They explained to us that the 2011 Scions are a fixed price and there is really no way we could get the payment we wanted with the amount of money we were willing to put down for a lease. They did not have a 2010, nor did they make an effort to call another dealership so we left. I then called Toyota of Orange. I spoke with Paulo and he explained that he didn't have a 2010. I told him what Tustin Toyota said about the 2011's. He said absolutely NOT TRUE. I told him what I wanted to put down and what monthly payment I was looking for. He said he would do some research and call me back. He called back "Good News" we can get you into that car on the terms I had outlined for him. I said , I don't want to drive over there just to be told something else. He assured me. We get there, and guess what??? Bill comes out from financing with the numbers 300% greater than was quoted on the phone. "Oh but we could give you this deal on a corolla". They flat out lied and then tried the "bait and switch". On the way out, Bill hands me his card and told us to think about it and come back. I said "you have got to be kidding. you lie to get me in here and you think I am coming back?" We had purchased 2 cars from this dealership in the past, but I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!!!!! We then called Power Toyota in Irvine. Humphrey said he had found the car we wanted in Long Beach. He was going to pick it up the next day. We were going down to sign papers, when Humphrey called and said in was a manual not an automatic. He found the car in San Diego at Bob Bakers'. I really appreciated the information. We then call Bob Baker Toyota, and Patrick - the sales manager of the year - said he would deliver the car to us that evening curb service. John and Tony, came up to Orange County, stopped at two locations for signing papers and delivered the car with a smile. This is not only the best service I've received at a dealership - this is one of the best customer experiences I have ever had!!! You guys totally exceeded my expectations. I told you what I what car and what terms I wanted and you delivered - literally! I will drive down to Bob Baker toyota for my next car - no question!! I can't thank you all enough. More

I called to either make an appointment to bring in my vehicle because I felt a little sticking on the accelarator. I was on hold for more than 15 minutes because their Service Department picked up. Whe vehicle because I felt a little sticking on the accelarator. I was on hold for more than 15 minutes because their Service Department picked up. When Dan answered the call and I told him that I want to bring in my car for the recall, he transferred me to an answering machine so I can leave my information. What if something happens to this car and my family before the return my call? When I bought my car over a year ago at this location, they did not transfer me to an answering machine and now that they have to fix the car, no one wants to speak with me anymore. More

I stopped by this dealer yesterday with my 1995 GMC van with 212,000 miles.  I have been in the market for a new vehicle for a while and I was thinking about donating this vehicle to charity for the tax wr with 212,000 miles.  I have been in the market for a new vehicle for a while and I was thinking about donating this vehicle to charity for the tax write-off.  My wife calls the van the “beast” and she refused to drive it.  Her birthday is on Friday and I wanted to surprise her with a new car.  She told me that she liked the RAV-4 Sport.  I spoke with the salesman, Mike Momeyz and he showed me the RAV-4.  He took the time and really went the extra mile to help me.  I decided to purchase the car and he took me inside.  This part I hate.  He asked me if I would be financing the car and I told him that I would look at the payments first.  He told me that there were some special incentives along with some more cash back from Toyota.  I told him that I would put $5000 down and for him to show me monthly payments.  He came back and told me that I qualified for 3.9% for 60 months and the payment would be about $400 per month.  He then asked me if I was trading in anything.  I started too laugh and I told him I could trade in the “Beast”.  He said that would be fine and asked me if I heard of the “Cash for Clunkers” program.  I told him no.  He explained that my vehicle qualified me for a voucher from the government of $4500 that can be applied to the purchase of the vehicle.  I could not believe that he would do that.  The payments almost dropped by $50 per month.  I know that I have been rambling , but to make it short, I think that Mike Momyez and this dealer are awesome to work with.  Forget all of the negatives, find the best salesman and you will be happy!!   More

I called up Tustin Toyota's internet department to avoid the price haggling that comes with buying a car. I want to buy a 2009 Toyota Camry Hyrbid and offered a price which April Conner accepted. I told her the price haggling that comes with buying a car. I want to buy a 2009 Toyota Camry Hyrbid and offered a price which April Conner accepted. I told her I'll be there the next day to buy the car and then she stated that it would be her day off but she will leave instructions to her associate Jose Hidalgo who will handle the transaction for her. The next day, 5 hours earlier that our appointment, I dropped by the dealership to inspect the car. I met with Jose Hidalgo and he stated that we have an existing agreement already. I told him that I will be back with my trade-in car for the 'cash for clunkers' program in the afternoon. When I went back in the afternoon, imagine my disappointment when Jose informed that the car that I am buying has been sold. These people are xxxxxxxx, they do not value other people's time and they do not honor agreements. More

I bought a used car in 2007. Originally, it was $12,000, but the finance dept. (some guy by the last name F. Moyameh? called me after a week and told me my car loan was not approved. He lied to me, found me but the finance dept. (some guy by the last name F. Moyameh? called me after a week and told me my car loan was not approved. He lied to me, found me a higher interest at a bank of his choice, and I ended up with a total of $15,000. It turned out that after a month I called my credit union and asked them why I was denied the loan. They had approved my loan!!!! for the $12,000. I came in as a single woman, and I feel they took advantage of me. By the way I am a university professor and most of my colleagues buy Toyotas. For sure, I would not recommend them Tustin Toyota.

They do the numbers switcharoo, they agree on numbers on a new car then switch the rates on you once you go into sign the paperwork. (buyer beware) shaddy dealership. When you try to get in touch so you can a new car then switch the rates on you once you go into sign the paperwork. (buyer beware) shaddy dealership. When you try to get in touch so you can talk to them, they blow you off and never return your calls. More
