My perfect day includes a great playlist, an unforgettable sunset, a stroll on the beach, and not worrying if I get caught in a little rain along the way.

I trusted Longo Toyota with my 2013 Sequoia, but their service department has repeatedly demonstrated mechanical incompetence and a willingness to falsify digital records to hide their mistakes. The issue More

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and for providing us with another opportunity to respond. Our records indicate that your 2013 Toyota Sequoia was serviced at our facility on September 19, 2025, with 353,465 miles, for a coolant drain and refill. The vehicle later returned on December 11, 2025, with 363,203 miles for routine maintenance, at which time our inspection identified a leaking water pump. We understand that, due to the cost of the repair, you elected to have the water pump replaced by an independent repair facility. In an effort to address your concerns and as a gesture of goodwill, we offered to reimburse the cost of the coolant service previously performed at our dealership. We also recognize that these concerns have been shared on multiple review platforms, including Google, Yelp, and DealerRater, and that we have previously responded to similar comments. While we respect your right to share your experience, we believe it is important to provide the relevant service history and context so readers have a complete and accurate understanding of the circumstances surrounding your vehicle. At Longo Toyota, we remain committed to transparent communication, comprehensive vehicle inspections, and delivering quality service to every guest. While we regret that we have not been able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction, we appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to provide additional context regarding your experience.
