share my experience with Bryan College Station Toyota.
I purchased a vehicle and, during service, experienced a severe misdiagnosis that left my vehicle unsafe to drive. This resulted in 48 hours of lost work, disruption to my family, and significant stress. During this process:
• Multiple service visits were required before the correct issue was identified.
• Communication from the dealership was delayed and often non-existent, despite repeated attempts to reach management via email.
• Requests for basic customer accommodations, such as a loaner vehicle, were denied.
I also escalated the issue to Toyota’s Executive Office. Despite my efforts, including providing full documentation of the disruption and lost wages, no goodwill accommodation or resolution was offered.
This review is not about warranty or repair costs; it is about the handling of the customer experience. I share this only after attempting to resolve the matter privately through dealership management and Toyota Corporate.
Timeline note: As of March 2026, multiple attempts to address this situation have not resulted in any meaningful resolution. I would welcome the opportunity to update this review if the dealership demonstrates customer care and accountability.

We are truly sorry for the frustration and hardship this situation has caused you. We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to have your Highlander held up for so long and to experience the lack of communication during that time. After reviewing the situation, it appears the issues—including the installation of different-size tires—originated with the dealership where you purchased your vehicle. The General Manager and Service Director involved are from that original dealership, which unfortunately impacted the efficiency and support you received.
We deeply regret how this affected your time, schedule, and trust in the process. If you would like to discuss this further, please reach out to our Customer Relations Manager at customerservice@purdygroupusa.com. Your feedback is important to us, and we want to ensure your concerns are heard.

UPDATE [Jan 29]:
I followed the instructions in the Owner Response below. I immediately emailed the Purdy Group Customer Relations address provided with my full case details. It has been over 24 hours, and I have received ZERO response. Do not reply to my review acting like you want to help just to look good for the public. If you actually cared, you would have answered the email you told me to send.

Update: One week after final communication, no follow-up or customer recovery effort has been made. Posting this update to reflect the completed outcome of the situation.

Final clarification:
The dealership confirmed privately that warranty obligations were met. My review has never disputed the repair coverage itself. My concern has always been the customer experience during the diagnostic process — specifically the multiple visits, lack of proactive communication, and the extended downtime, which created significant disruption to my work schedule and required substantial adjustments to my family’s daily responsibilities.
I’m sharing this only to clarify context for future customers. At this point, I consider the matter closed.

I appreciate your feedback.
This matter has already been fully addressed. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired under the Toyota factory warranty, and all obligations were met. I emailed with you directly regarding your request for additional goodwill, which was declined, as the repair fell within standard warranty coverage.
At this point, there is no further action required or pending on our end.
If you would like to discuss anything further, I am available to do so directly.

I would never buy a car from any place else. They always have what I want and need. Always a kind and easy going process. I do not trust anywhere else to take care of my car. They truly have the best customer service and deals around. This is not just a typical dealership, it is a family!

dealership. Sales still functions like the Hard Sell of the old car industry. After buying 4 vehicles there I find your sales personnel want to start out at unreasonable prices and it takes a lot of research to prevent over paying for a vehicle. It would behoove you to set pricing at a level that is profitable for the dealership and eliminate all the haggling.
