For over 40 years, I have remained loyal to Toyota, drawn not just to the quality of the vehicles but to the principles of dependability and craftsmanship that the brand represents. These qualities are what not just to the quality of the vehicles but to the principles of dependability and craftsmanship that the brand represents. These qualities are what make Toyota not merely a car manufacturer but a symbol of trust and longevity. Recently, I entrusted Claremont Toyota with the repair of my Camry XSE’s panoramic moonroof, understanding that such a significant repair required time, precision, and care. Throughout this process, I experienced both challenge and resolution, each providing valuable insight into the importance of communication, workmanship, and professional excellence. What makes this experience even more crucial is that my Camry XSE is nearly brand-new, purchased six months ago from Toyota of Orange with only 3,200 miles. After picking up my vehicle the first time, I discovered that the right and left pillars were improperly reinstalled, the moonroof remained slightly open, and the windshield seal was cut and ripped. My service advisor was also unaware of these issues, which suggests that somewhere between the hands of the technician and the delivery of the vehicle, quality control was lacking. At that point, I agreed to leave the vehicle because I understood the windshield would need to be removed—a major step in the repair process. I expected the car to be in the shop for about a week, which was reasonable given the scope of work. What mattered most to me was ensuring that the process was executed properly and that communication remained consistent throughout. A key concern in any major repair is the inspection of every component that was removed, ensuring that everything goes back exactly as it was—flush, perfectly aligned, and looking brand new. This level of attention to detail is what separates a routine repair from one that truly reflects Toyota’s commitment to quality. Implementing a structured post-repair verification process would help ensure customers receive their vehicles in pristine condition, preventing avoidable issues upon pickup. That said, I appreciate that Claremont Toyota professionally corrected the mistake, and in the end, the car was restored to the standard I expected. Because this was a big job, I wanted to bring it to your attention—not just for my own experience but also for future customers who might face similar repairs. Through my research, I found that issues with panoramic moonroofs are not uncommon, so improving communication, workmanship, and post-repair verification on jobs like these would make a meaningful difference in customer satisfaction. Additionally, I want to commend Marisela Guzman, who reached out at the start of this process with a simple check-in text. Initially, I thought it was routine follow-up, but as the repair progressed, I realized her true role in customer relations. She was communicative, proactive, and ensured I stayed informed throughout the process—a standout example of customer care done right. Update 5/26/2025. Found a very slight cut on seam- seal where the moonroof and the glass panel meet when closed.It concerns me because over time it may get bigger. I am waiting for a response and I provided pictures to Marisela. Update 5/27/2025 Oscar’s called me. He reviewed the issue with the tear. He said it looked superficial and did not go all the way through. They recommended keeping an eye on It and if it gets worse we replace the roof again. I bumped up my review score. I do appreciate Claremont Toyota for reaching out. More

Poor communication after sale. very aggressive to have you sign paper and kick you out of door; afterward, they do not give a dime. You have to be the aggressive one to reach out t very aggressive to have you sign paper and kick you out of door; afterward, they do not give a dime. You have to be the aggressive one to reach out to them to hold them to their words. Service department milks hard on my repair. I have a small side panel to be installed and minor paint touch-up which takes them 5 days and still not done. They do not give any update; waiting game it is. Overall, avoid this dealership. Enough xx with this one. More
