Serious lack of service knowledge I typically have my 2016 Highlander serviced at Toyota of Plano and after my experience at Pat Lobb Toyota, I will only have service done there. My ca I typically have my 2016 Highlander serviced at Toyota of Plano and after my experience at Pat Lobb Toyota, I will only have service done there. My car battery died and I made an appointment to have it replaced at Pat Lobb Toyota. The battery died again in the service line and the employees made me feel like I was a huge inconvenience. I had an appointment for the battery replacement and for the front passenger side window which would not stay fully rolled up. My service advisor told me that they could replace the battery in my car that day but would have to leave the car for them to examine the window. As it turned out, due the weekend and holiday, they would have needed me to leave my car for 4-5 days. No one told me that as I scheduled my appointment. Further, they shared that no one could even look at the window that day and that it would cost $150 to have them "diagnose" the problem even though the car is under warranty. I told them that I thought the window was related to the battery as it occurred directly after the battery died and was boosted. They did not listen to me and said they spoke with a manager who agreed with them. I was furious and left. I made an appointment at Toyota of Plano. When I went, the service advisor there knew immediately that the window glitch was a result of the battery and it required a 10-second reboot (via the car radio) to fix. They rebooted the system and all was fixed IN TEN SECONDS. Pat Lobb Toyota has lost my business forever. More

Beware of Making on line Appointments "Lost" my appointment in the system. Told me I could walk in and maybe get fit in between other appointments.

Service of my 2001 Avalon I have been going to Pat Lobb Toyota Dealership in McKinney, Tx since moving here in October 2013 for service of both my vehicles, a 2000 4 x 4 Tundra I have been going to Pat Lobb Toyota Dealership in McKinney, Tx since moving here in October 2013 for service of both my vehicles, a 2000 4 x 4 Tundra Extended Cab and 2001 XLS Avalon. I bought them new and maintain them in new mint condition. I interviewed with Assistant Service Manager, Doug Ranzer and Senior Technician, Jeff Colefield before selecting them as the personnel to handle and always work on my vehicles. Love and totally trust them in caring for my vehicles. I just had both CVR Boots and one engine mount repaired on my 2001 Avalon (first time ever needed these repairs) when I immediately noticed leaking fluid. My team, Doug Ranzer and Jeff Colefield corrected the problem swiftly and accurately keeping my car in pristine condition. Doug made sure as always that I got a reasonable discount for being a loyal and committed customer. I really appreciate ethical and honest people like this at a car dealership. I highly recommend Doug Ranzer and Jeff Colefield at Pat Lobb Toyota Service Department. Thanks guys for always taking care of my vehicles. Andy Solomon More

They will never work on my Truck again! To start of, I am not your average car owner. I am knowledgeable in vehicle maintenance and repair. I am a car enthusiast and also went to school for To start of, I am not your average car owner. I am knowledgeable in vehicle maintenance and repair. I am a car enthusiast and also went to school for auto mechanics. Now to get to my experience. I bought a 2017 Tacoma from this dealership on Aug. 11, 2016. I scheduled my first appointment with the service department for 10/5/16. When scheduling the appointment I requested along with my 5k service to have the Transmission fluid checked because of a minor slip when the car was cold and shifted from 3rd to 4th gear. The person placing my appointment said there was a TSB(Toyota Service Bulletin) for the transmission that they could perform. I know of the TSB and also knew that it did not include a fix for the issue my truck had. I informed the appointment taker of this and stated that I did NOT want the TSB performed as it did not relate to my issue. The person taking my appointment said ok and that it would be no problem to have the transmission fluid level checked while in for service. So far everything seemed to be going fine. When i show up 30 minutes early to my appointment to have the services I requested performed I explained the same things to the Service adviser(I do not know his name). The service adviser the also told me there's a TSB that could fix my transmission issue, I repeat to him that the TSB does not fix an issue with a slipping transmission and that i did not need or want the service performed. I also stated that it does not slip all the time but will most of the time if the car sits for 1-2 hours. The Adviser said the Technician would drive it to try and replicate the slip i was having. I told him that if needed i could drive the vehicle since i know the exact situation that the transmission slips. The Service adviser said OK we will not perform the TSB and will check your transmission fluid. He also said that i may be asked to drive the vehicle to recreate the slip if the Technician could not replicate the issue. I then go to the lobby to wait as long as necessary for my truck to be serviced. Now prior to my visit I had read the TSB multiple times that comes directly from Toyota Corporate and it clearly states that it will only correct 3 things. 1. Harsh shifts from 1st and 2nd. 2. Delayed engagement when shifting from Park or Reverse to Drive. 3. A delayed upshift when using cruise control. It continues to state that if the vehicle exhibits any of these symptoms to continue to step 2(Performing the TSB) If the vehicle does not exhibit these symptoms the Bulletin DOES NOT APPLY and to continue diagnosis using the applicable Repair Manual. My truck did not have any of those symptoms which is why i did not want or need the TSB performed. 4 hours later the Service Adviser called me(while i was sitting in the lobby) to inform me my truck was out of service and in the car wash line so it would be ready soon. He continued to inform me that the technician could not replicate the slip so they went ahead and performed the TSB(Which i specifically stated multiple times to not perform to my truck). The adviser then tells me they had no choice and that it was a mandatory service for EVERY truck that came in for service. I ask him why my fluid was not checked per my request and he then tells me the transmission was too hot to perform a transmission fluid check but the TSB should have fixed my transmission slip. At this point i know i am being lied to whether the adviser knew he was lying or not. While waiting another 30+ minutes for my car to come through the car wash i go to speak to the Service Manager(Toby Clark) now. I explain what has happened and how my request for the transmission fluid to be checked had been ignored along with the TSB being performed after i specifically said not to perform it and now i have wasted 4 1/2 hours for a service to be performed that was not done. The manager then tells me that they HAVE to perform the TSB before further trouble shooting and if i still have a transmission slip they will then perform a fluid check. I ask again why a service i requested to be performed was not done and he then states that the transmission would be too hot since i drove it to the dealer that morning. I ask him how it would not be cool enough after the truck has been in service for 4 1/2 hrs and he tells me that with this "Texas Heat" it wouldn't have cooled enough to perform the fluid check and i would have to leave it overnight. Once again I have been lied to because I know the TSB did not need to be performed and that the transmission had plenty of time to cool enough to have the fluid checked. He finally asks how he can remedy the situation but for me i could no longer think straight. I told him that at this point I didn't know what he could do and i needed to leave and cool off. I was so furious with being lied to by service people who had NO knowledge of the service that they performed to my vehicle, which i specifically told them not to do. I did not want to become a loud irate customer as that would have done no good but allow me to blow off some steam but i knew would get me no where. I can only assume at this point that this service department doesn't actually care abour fixing a problem with a new car they sold but would rather just perform the easiest services that they can bill Toyota Corporate for to boost there repair numbers. At this point I can no longer trust the service department. They have shown me they do not know what services they are performing and that they can not listen to what the customer has requested. I can no longer see myself trusting them with my vehicle. I will have to find a new service department to handle my needs as long as my truck remains under warranty. More

Need More Service Writers in the Service Dept Pulled into service bay with a 12:30 appointment. Was greeted upon arrival and was told I was assigned to Doug. Well, after 15 minutes of waiting, D Pulled into service bay with a 12:30 appointment. Was greeted upon arrival and was told I was assigned to Doug. Well, after 15 minutes of waiting, Doug never showed up. I decided to stand outside my car to see if I draw more attention. Lots of folks walking around and just myself and another customer waiting in the service entrance. I felt sorry for the other customer sitting there in his car but he either has a lot more patience than me or he's a repeat customer and knows it is normal to wait 15 minutes for a service writer to come see him. As we waited patiently, I observed all these different associates walking around, some just standing around, and not one greeted him nor asked him if he needed anything while he waited. I got fed up from waiting and removed the laminated card from my window and returned it. That's when a young lady "MOLLY" approached me to apologize for the wait and said they are looking for Doug. She is the only reason I'm giving this store 1 star. I've taken my car for service to Toyota of Plano before and they set my level of expectation. Since I am new to the area and Plano was a little too far, I thought I would give Patt Lobb's store s try. Hands down, will take my business to Toyota of Plano from now on. Worth the drive from Celina. Maybe the service guys at this store should take their cars to Toyota of Plano to experience the correct way to service a customer. Note To Service Writers: You guys had me in the door, but did nothing to keep me there! Bye Bye! More
