The driver Hector is clearly not qualified to be a professional driver - he is unable to follow Google Maps directions and was insisting they never are accurate when the ones to my home were correct. professional driver - he is unable to follow Google Maps directions and was insisting they never are accurate when the ones to my home were correct. This is a big change since 2 years ago when I previously had him as my shuttle driver. The Service Representative Mike Norton at the Service Center on November 2nd didn’t get my text to please check the tire sidewalls since I knew at least one was bad. Mark Schultz - a truly fantastic service representative- had done a Walk Around my car 2 years prior and seen it. Mike even had trouble seeing my text when I called a few hours later, having not heard back from him. On Friday November 7th, the brand new front passenger tire was flat after just two 4 minute drives, 5 days after I got the car home the Sunday prior. When I called, Service Representative Mike Johnson tried to tell me it’s probably a nail, and it would cost me $25. Plus tire weights - after less than 1 week on a new tire! I had the car towed in and they replaced the new tire, with no damage seen on the first one. At first I was told they couldn’t do it the same day - but the service operator suggested I speak with Service Manager Erin, who was wonderful. He told me it would be ready before closing, at no additional charge, and he arranged a shuttle ride for me to pick up the car. Then, on November 15 Saturday, 8 days later, the same tire was flat again. I had the car towed in and Kyle was my service representative- and he was great. He said it’s probably the tire pressure valve and indeed it was found to be loose. It was not loose when I brought the car in for the 4 tires to be changed Nov 2nd. Why isn’t this checked before a customer leaves? Why want this valve checked before - or after - replacing the new tire on Nov 7th? Due to the 3 concerns above (driver, service reps, service mechanics) I won’t be continuing my brand loyalty to Toyota of Santa Cruz after the car was purchased new from them 18 years ago. More
