Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your recent service experience did not meet your expectations. Providing courteous, professional service and timely communication is very important to us, so we are disappointed to learn that you felt otherwise. We understand that extended wait times and limited waiting space can be frustrating. As our dealership is currently undergoing extensive renovations to improve our facilities and better serve our customers, we have established additional customer waiting areas in both our new vehicle showroom and a separate quiet waiting area for guests who prefer a more relaxed environment. We would like the opportunity to review your concerns regarding your interaction with our service team; however, we have been unable to locate your visit in our records based on the information provided in your review. We encourage you to contact Josephine Easter @ Jeaster@group1auto.com or call 512-458-2222 x1355, if you would like to discuss this matter further. We appreciate all customer feedback and are committed to continuously improving the experience we provide. Sincerely, Kara Spears Group 1 Toyota North Austin
