Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, my family and I visited - Luis R
Two weeks ago, on a Saturday, my family and I visited Queensboro Toyota to look at the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Highlander. We had scheduled a test drive for 11:00 AM and arrived at the dealership on time, expecting to test-drive the vehicles we were interested in purchasing.
After waiting approximately 10 minutes, we were informed that they had just sold the last RAV4 on the lot and could not provide us with a test drive. We made the appointment in advance specifically to avoid this situation. If the vehicle was unavailable or a test drive could not be accommodated, we should have been notified ahead of time so we could have made other arrangements or visited Bayside Toyota or Hillside Toyota instead.
What made the experience even more disappointing was that we began to feel uncomfortable after mentioning that we were first responders. We felt that we were not treated fairly or with the respect and professionalism every customer deserves.
We were told that someone would call us back to arrange another test drive for the RAV4, but to this day, we have not received a single phone call or follow-up. I even called the dealership and asked to speak with the owner, Mr. Ozon, but was told that he was very busy.
I understand that the Toyota RAV4 is a popular vehicle and that inventory can change quickly. However, basic customer service, communication, and respect should never be overlooked. The lack of consideration and follow-up made this an extremely frustrating experience, especially for a family of first responders who simply wanted the opportunity to test-drive a vehicle before making a purchase.
Unfortunately, the way we were treated left us feeling disrespected and disappointed. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to Queensboro Toyota, and I would encourage other potential customers to consider the level of customer service they may receive before choosing this dealership.
A dealership should value its customers, honor its appointments, and follow through on its promises. Queensboro Toyota failed to do that in our experience.
