Westboro Toyota - Service Center

DO NOT SERVICE YOU CAR HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ABUSED I urge you to take the time to review the sales and service ratings here for Westboro Toyota and you will see a consistent theme of incompetence and t I urge you to take the time to review the sales and service ratings here for Westboro Toyota and you will see a consistent theme of incompetence and then accusing the customer of lying. If you are in Metro West Mass area you will do much better at Bernardi Toyota or Acton Toyota. My story: went in for oil change and tire rotation using 1 of their many coupons to suck you in. Advisor was Roger Barron. Lounge area and wait typical. After an hour Roger comes over with a laundry list of $900 of suggested service. Transmission fluid that was done at Acton. Spark plugs not due until next tear. Fuel emissions cleaning not called for in owners manual. Asked why are you trying to sell me things inappropriately? Went back to his desk rather coldly. When the vehicle was ready their 1 and only xxx terminal was out of paper and NO ONE knew where a new roll of paper was. It was comical. After 15 minutes they found some. Roger did not thank me nor walk me to my car etc. Alfredo Lopes who I later learned is the "Service Manager" (and I use that term very lightly), showed me my car but it was blocked by another car so I could not exit the garage while he went to look for keys. This is where it gets interesting but scary. A month later as I am checking my oil as I do every month I almost faint when I see they had left the oil dip stick only half way inserted!!!!! Some oil had leaked out and I can only imagine the damage to the engine if more had leaked out or the dip stick came loose around a fan belt etc. I immediately call to speak with the service manager and they put on Alfredo. He is immediately gets defensive and says "...well IF we did it why did you wait so long to call us...". WHAT?!?! How about "OMG I am so sorry please bring it down immediately and I will personally put it up on a left and do a complete end to end inspection to ensure everything else is ok and offer you credit on a future visit". Nope! He says "...well what do you want us to do...?". And I repeat apologize and offer to rectify. Nope. His tone is screaming "YOU ARE LYING AND I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU". It gets very heated on the phone and results in him saying "YOU ARE RUDE AND IGNORANT". At that point I hang up on him. For 2 days I asked for the GM John Dowden to call me back since Alfredo is in way over his head. Finally John returns my call and has even a worse tone than Alfredo. He is more interested in interrogating me about what I said to Alfredo than apologizing and rectifying. I suggest to him the fix is apologize and rectify by future service credit and or complementary MPI multi point inspection. "No, we do not do that". My credit card company was shocked and more than glad to refund my money over Westboro Toyota incompetence. In summary I urge you to avoid them at all costs. Please take the time to review other feedback here. It is a consistent theme of all the typical dealer ripoffs you read about and it is quite surprising Toyota allows them to sell and service Toyota. They are not honest, will try to up sell you with un needed add ons and God forbid if there is an issue will immediately start to say you are lying and attack you vs owning their issue and fixing it. Buyer beware. Avoid at all costs. Never again. More

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE - Never recommend to any one Went for a state inspection and have to wait for more than 1 hr and in end, they were telling the vehicle inspection failed of worn tires. The tires Went for a state inspection and have to wait for more than 1 hr and in end, they were telling the vehicle inspection failed of worn tires. The tires are absolutely fine and only 27K on my new Toyota sienna. Seems they are cheating, Every time you step in you should have new tires. They are trying to squeeze money by failing the inspection. More

Company caught cheating and Management did not help I took my brand Toyota RAV 4 for a 5000 mile service . I only had 2000+ miles but I was told by the dealership that I need to have my vehicle service I took my brand Toyota RAV 4 for a 5000 mile service . I only had 2000+ miles but I was told by the dealership that I need to have my vehicle service either every 4 months of every 5000 miles to keep my warranty. Took my vehicle there to be serviced and within 1 hr, Jorge, the service representative told me that the oil change was done and the rotation was also completed. After taking my vehicle home, I found out that the tire rotation was definitely not done because I had a scratched tire with the scratched ream on my right front tire and the tire remained in the same position after the service was done. I contacted Jorge and he questioned me why I accused them of not performing the service. I requested to speak with the service manager and did not get a response back. I reached out to the general manager, John Bowden and received a generic response that 'There is no alice or intent by my employees'. I called another dealership and they told me that oil change is not supposed to be done in the 5000 mile service. This made me wonder whether anything was done during my visit. Although I did not pay for the service since the vehicle is under Toyota care. However, this dealership cheated me out of a proper tire rotation and charged the service (to Corporate) for service that was not performed. I think this speaks a lot to management. More

do not bring your car there! I brought in my 2017 Toyota Rav4 for its 25,000 maintenance and state inspection. I pulled my car into the service building and parked it in the check I brought in my 2017 Toyota Rav4 for its 25,000 maintenance and state inspection. I pulled my car into the service building and parked it in the check in area and waited for the service advisor. While I was waiting I walked around my car multiple times just to make sure there was no external damage that would prevent me from passing the inspection. It is important to add that I did not wash my car before the inspection because a big snow storm was said to happen the day after, so my car remained covered in a layer of white salt. After about three minutes the service manager came out and did a walk around my car with me to check in my car. Both he and I saw no external damage and he did his initial paper work and then we went to the service office to fully check in my car. At the same time the valet had taken my car through the service building and driven it to the back lot where they keep all the cars awaiting maintenance or pick up (lot where only employees are allowed). We finished the paper work and I left my car there telling them to take their time and call me when it was done. About three hours later I received a call from the same guy I did my paperwork with telling me to pick up my car, saying they had done the 25,000 maintenance but my car hadn’t passed inspection because the rear bumper reflector was cracked. When I went to go pick up my car I walked into the office and that same guy explained to me that to pass inspection I would need to fix the crack and come back. Shortly after the valet guy brought my car to the front. I began my walk around and noticed my rear bumper reflector as well as my bumper was smashed. I immediately walked back into the office saying that someone had hit my car. The same guy who helped me all along calmly said let’s take a look. I showed him and said that it wasn’t there before and he said no it was and that’s why you didn’t pass inspection. I began to show him the signs of how fresh the smash was, like through the salt you could see my cars black paint (which would be covered by more salt and dust if I had driven it for even a mile), also a piece of freshly smashed plastic was loosely hanging off my reflector (which would easily fall off if I began to drive), and the inside of my reflector was perfectly clean with no dust or salt (which it wouldn’t be if i had been driving my car at all). He became very defensive and ignored all my points saying that my windshield had a sun tint stripe which wasn’t allowed either (last year at this location I had passed inspection with the same tinted strip). So I demanded to see the service manager. When he arrived I re-explained everything to him, he then asked the guy helping me (service advisor) if he had taken this damage down at the walk around check in and marked it on paper. The service advisor began to babble on saying how he noticed it at the walk around but never definitively said he marked it on paper. Then the service manager turned to me saying that this is why my car hadn’t passed inspection and that the damage was already there and ignored all my proof. I then asked to see the general manager of the place and sat in my car waiting, after about thirty minutes they all showed up. I repeated all of my proof to the general manager, and he also asked the service advisor if he had marked the damage on the check in paper. The service advisor had taken out the check in paper which was now marked with a check saying I had back damage. I told the general manager that that mark was not there thirty minutes ago, I also reasoned that wouldn't they have pointed out pre-existing damage to me at the time of check in, just to cover themselves from being wrongly accused. Also I was never asked to sign the check in paper so there was no proof that that was my original check in paper. Then I recommended we look at the security footage of the store to see if the damage can be seen on camera. To which the general manager said neither he nor anyone in the store has access to the footage. The general manager then switched his attitude and told me that he was a busy man and did not have time to argue, and then he said that if someone had hit my car on the property they were not responsible and how would not pay nor fix it. Then he said “if you went to subway for a sandwich and came back out and your car was damaged, would you demand subway pay for it?” He was obviously belittling me for my slightly poor English, as it is not my first language. I then mentioned how those are two completely different situations because I had given them my car and my keys and left my property under their supervision. He then said it’s the exact same thing and called the valet guy over, and gave him the orders to get my car off the property and leave it there and walk away. Then they all walked away, I understood there was no point in arguing took pictures of the clean damage and drove away. More

Nice dealership to do do business with As a person who has a degree in industrial engineering, I look for the efficiencies in an operation and I am impressed by the knowledge and thoroughne As a person who has a degree in industrial engineering, I look for the efficiencies in an operation and I am impressed by the knowledge and thoroughness when my car goes in for service. I did buy the extra coating on the car's surface and had a problem when a substance ate through the finish on the car's hood. The dealership was helpful in getting the claim recognized and the car hood looking like new after being repainted at an outside shop. They don't have a paint shop in house. More
