front bumper panel that had come loose. I agreed to an oil change that was due. The estimate of recommended work came to over $2,500!. I declined it all. When i went to get my car they had done a full diagnostic workup that i did NOT authorize or expect, and charged me $230 for it, without even address the issue I came in for. I paid for the entire bill, which included the oil change and gasket I had authorized, but was NOT HAPPY with the $230 charge!!! I felt they had found a way tp get more money out of me without even suggesting options. I took my car to a good locally owned shop that gave me the interim fix I needed in 15 minutes and didn’t even charge me, and we discussed future options. I will avoid coming to Toyota of SC in the future.

I'd give Lea a 100 if I could.

The service department needs to give her a promotion and a raise. Extremely professional, prompt, and knowledgeable about all aspects of Toyota care, Service, OEM upgrades and even nuanced car guy or gal concerns. Lea was great and I'd expect that level of customer service out of her counterparts there too. What wasn't cool (not Lea's fault but probably someone else's) was I paid 2700 dollars for service and I got my truck back covered in bird xxxx..... I would've appreciated a quick hose down no special treatment but I didn't expect to get it back covered in massive bird doo doo from the windshield to the rear of the camper. The guy at the parts counter was nice too, forgot his name but I geeked out with him over the new tundras

Buyer needs to double check everything, triple check
