When I purchased a Lexus, I thought that I purchased the customer service that comes with a luxury vehicle. I was clearly wrong. Never again! I drove from out of state to purchase my vehicle. I was informed customer service that comes with a luxury vehicle. I was clearly wrong. Never again! I drove from out of state to purchase my vehicle. I was informed that title and registration would take 30 days. When I had not received anything from my local DMV around the 30 day mark, I called Lexus of Tampa to inquire. I was brushed off by a few representatives, all suggesting that I just needed to wait longer. I continued to contacting my local DMV weekly, until they finally suggested that I contact the dealership and requested the FedEx tracking numbers for my paperwork. It was then, when I realized that Lexus of Tampa didn’t care about the way they treated customers. After finally obtaining the tracking numbers, I learned that Lexus of Tampa didn’t even mail the paperwork to my local DMV for almost a month after my purchase! Why on earth would it take almost a month to mail the DMV my documents? Anyway, once I learned that the documents were finally received by my DMV, I could finally take a breath of fresh air… right? Not so quick! I gave it about 2 weeks from the time my DMV received my paperwork before calling my DMV back. I was told by the DMV that Lexus of Tampa calculated the taxes incorrectly, and that the entire package was sent back for corrections. Fast forward to yesterday, I called Lexus of Tampa to find out what was going on, and was met with everything from “you just need to wait longer” to “we don’t know what’s going on”. So let me get this straight, it took you almost one month to prepare my documents, and you got it wrong?!?!?? And now you act like I’m completely blowing things out of proportion? COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! I purchased luxury for luxury service, and I expect nothing less! Unfortunately, it looks like I’m now stuck with poor Lexus customer service for four more years! I couldn’t feel more taken advantage of at this point. More
My wife and I went to this dealership on 5/17 to shop for a vehicle. Once we decided on the one we wanted it was to late to sign forms, so they asked for us to come back next day. Meanwhile, they allowed for a vehicle. Once we decided on the one we wanted it was to late to sign forms, so they asked for us to come back next day. Meanwhile, they allowed for us to take possession of the vehicle and drive it home that night. The unfortunate part, I was given a vehicle with stickers all over the window and with no gas. Before leaving the parking lot, I went back inside and asked for them to fill it up and was advised that nobody was available to put gas in it and that I would have to put gas in it myself. Next day, they would fill up the tank. Next day, I said I would be available at 3:30pm to sign documents and be on our way. It wasn’t until after 6pm that we started signing anything. Meanwhile, the detailer did a very light vacuum on the carpets but never cleaned the seats good or removed the dust that was all over the dash, nor put gas in the car. It wasn’t until I left the dealership that we started to notice things, because we had left in a rush. As of today, I have yet to receive one follow up call from anyone. They truly lack in communication and are not very professional. This will be the first and last time I ever do business with this company. Love the car, not the service! More
Restored my faith in Lexus! A simple misunderstanding of what I needed done turned into a great experience where everything I needed was fixed. Scott was exceptional and has earned my business.

I bought a 2021 LS500 F Sport from Esther Ortiz and could not be happier about the way she took care of me. She was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and straightforward. Even suggested places t not be happier about the way she took care of me. She was very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and straightforward. Even suggested places to eat and stay. Sidney Crawford was also excellent. Knew his stuff and treated me with respect. Esther said she was my person after the sale and she has lived up to it. Checked on me after the sale. Said I could call her with any questions. One of the managers stopped by to say hello which was a very nice touch. More
I purchased a 2013 BMW X6 on March 5th. Within a few days, smoke started coming into the vehicle from the vents and under the hood. I reached out to my sales rep, who said something was split on the bac days, smoke started coming into the vehicle from the vents and under the hood. I reached out to my sales rep, who said something was split on the back of the engine and would burn off over time. I left a review and was given a number to call. Called three times and left messages, never got a call back. I sent an email asking for the name, direct phone number and email to the general manager, never received a response. It’s now a month later and it’s still happening but worse. At this point, this is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. I will never recommend this dealership. More
BEWARE OF DECEPTIVE SALES TACTICS!!! Being a loyal Lexus client for over 10 years, I decided to circle back to the brand buying my 4th Lexus, this time an LS460 at Lexus of Tampa Bay. Sales representative a client for over 10 years, I decided to circle back to the brand buying my 4th Lexus, this time an LS460 at Lexus of Tampa Bay. Sales representative and manager stated car was in "impeccable condition and there was no room for negotiations as all cars are sold with the highest Lexus standards of reliability and reconditioning". On March 3rd I decided to fly in to pick up the vehicle when promised that I was able to do a full inspection, even offered to put the car on a lift. To my surprise, the driver's quarter panel paint was in really bad shape but was not noticeable in pictures. They had to repaint the quarter panel and I had to rearrange my agenda, book a hotel room and stay overnight. On site suspension inspection was suddenly denied because of “insurance regulations”. Technician did a FaceTime video, I specifically asked for the suspension, he assured this was completely taken care of. He even did a close up of the lower control arms. I took delivery of the car and next morning I took the vehicle to address a vibration at a local Lexus dealer and they stated that the upper control arms were bad and repair cost was $2,700. In addition, cheap tires on the vehicle were old and out of round plus not recommended by Lexus; another $1,100. Now I’m $3,800 in the whole. Not a repair you would expect in less than 24 hours of a Lexus ownership. I opened a Lexus owner account and was able to download the full-service report which revealed that Lexus of Tampa was well aware of the upper control arms issue and declined to repair the upper control arms. They also failed to disclose the issue to me as a buyer despite asking three times about the suspension. Contacted Lexus of Tampa and they claim that upper control arms are not a safety issue and that doing only lower control arms will bring the car up to Lexus safety standards; they were not willing to do the repair because it will eat up part of their sales profit. They offered to buy the vehicle back from me but that means I will have to take another day off work and start the buying process all over again. I asked if they were going to repair or disclose the issue to the future buyer which they replied, “we don’t have to disclose it because is not a safety issue; if I can’t sale it retail then I’ll sell it at auction” WOW! Concealing information to avoid lower sales profit? I even offered to pay the $950 labor if they can get the parts at their cost but that didn’t work. In summary, I learned a $3,800 lesson; not to trust the brand reputation and never buy a vehicle if dealer is not willing to allow full inspection. I hope this review helps other buyers not to go thru the same trouble. If you are buying a used vehicle from this dealer, inspect and re-inspect the vehicle; DO NOT trust pictures, videos or the word of the sales representative. I hope I don't get the same copy/paste apologetic response asking me to contact the GM, but a real answer posted here. More
THEY LIE and suggest unneeeded repairs. I was told I needed to have the brake pads replaced immediately. A second opinion revealed I still have 25% remaining. I did not have a fuel leak or torn cont needed to have the brake pads replaced immediately. A second opinion revealed I still have 25% remaining. I did not have a fuel leak or torn control arm bushings as I was told by Alex. Years past, I praised Alex, but now I realize he has a false smiling face and will stab you in the back. They are not to be trusted. More
STAY AWAY!! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! TERRIBLE!!This place STAY AWAY!! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! TERRIBLE!! This place is the worst Lexus dealership I have ever experienced. My family and I have owned many Lexus STAY AWAY!! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! TERRIBLE!! This place is the worst Lexus dealership I have ever experienced. My family and I have owned many Lexus vehicles and equal history with Lexus dealership maintenance. This one is beyond belief the most unprofessional I have dealt with. First time here at this location today and just in for an oil change. Of course Scott Banta(Service Consultant) gives a list of recommendations for maintenance, many of which may not be entirely necessary but normal. What was weird at first, is that he states and shows he has pulled my entire maintenance record and has consulted his mechanic but starts asking me questions about the vehicle. These questions are easily answered by the model and history of the car. I cant figure why he would ask but for only to test my knowledge of my own car. This makes me skeptical of the record of my vehicle being actually available and reviewed. I tell Scott that I will pass on the recommendations for now after I confirm this work has not been done recently. After my oil change I review the experience with Scott and inform I will set an appointment after I look at the vehicle history. Plus I wanted to see if the coolant was actually contaminated, air filter was actually dirty and if the fuel needed to be cleaned. I do like to make sure this is not a salesman trying to take advantage of me. I get home and for some reason just think... open the hood and check.. this visit was uncomfortable. I pop the hood and find the covers under the hood are not secured with the retaining pins and a few but not all pins are stashed on the car. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS!! So because I didn't want to pay for a xxxx ton more stuff without checking, they decide to not even check the vehicle if it was put back together!!! xxx!! Just closed the hood and get this car out!! THANKS A TON LEXUS OF TAMPA BAY!! Good show of care and bring confidence to a on the fence first time customer. Okay okay hold on a sec... maybe I am just getting bent for no real reason. I'll just call and give my complaint to someone there. I tell myself 'Calm down Michael' and I call. I call and get referred to Mike, who doesn't answer and I request again to the operator someone and they have Mike call me. Mike calls me and immediately on the call He is dismissive about the cover not being secured and the loose pins being his mechanic from the oil change, no apology and just getting a feeling of Mike DON'T GIVE A DAM. It took a good amount of dialogue just to get him to offer to replace missing pins and offer me back in to have it done.... then a good deal more to at least pay for the gas.. THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH EFFORT FOR OVER PRICE MAINTENANCE AND xxxx SERVICE!! I truly advise to leave this place off your list and find another dealership or someone else. You will get no help. It is too bad for me because this is a close dealership and I want my vehicle to be looked after the same it has for the last 7 years. Thanks Mike and Jason and the lazy mechanic for treating me like I was unnecessary, unimportant, and quite disposable. More
