Great Service Department with Honorable Ethics I am a transplant from North Carolina to McKinney, Tx (Wife and I of 46 years retired to be with Children/Grandchildren). I bought both of our Toyota I am a transplant from North Carolina to McKinney, Tx (Wife and I of 46 years retired to be with Children/Grandchildren). I bought both of our Toyota vehicles NEW - 2000 King Cab 4x4 Tundra and 2001 XLS Avalon. I have always serviced with a Toyota Dealership and very strict in overseeing what is done each time. I always interviewed the Service manager and Senior Master Tech at each dealership - always making sure they were the only ones handling/overseeing my vehicles. My vehicles today are like Brand NEW out the show room. I expect quality when any work is performed on my vehicles. I would trust traveling anywhere in the USA with both vehicles. After arriving in McKinney, Tx 10-16-2013 I Interviewed with Doug Ranzer, Assistant Service Manager and Jeff Colefield, Senior Master Tech at Pat Lobb Toyota after reading reviews of the dealership. These two have always kept my vehicles in the best running condition - both earning my total trust that they will do what is best for me and my vehicles. On my most recent initiated visit in July 2016 with my 2001 XLS Avalon after hearing an unusual noise from the dash, I discovered I needed a New Servo Booster for my A/C. The part had to be ordered from Houston, Tx distribution center. The part came in wrong 5 times; It showed the correct Part Number on the outside of the plastic packaging but actually had a different part inside of it. This was discovered each time my by mechanic, Jeff who advised Doug Ranzer accordingly, who then contacted me. Also Doug had Toby Clark, the Service Department Director get involved with trying to correct this issue with Houston's management. After it continued to occur Toby Clark investigated who was sending the wrong packaged part to Houston, Tx. After his investigation he was able to get the correct part sent directly to Pat Lobb Toyota. My mechanic, Jeff, confirmed they finally they had the right part and repaired my Avalon. I paid nothing ($0) for Parts or Labor due to my inconvenience in this ordeal, which was initiated by Toby Clark, the Service Department Director at Pat Lobb. This speaks volumes about Patt Lobb's HIGH ETHICs and the CARING of their customers. Pat Lobb dealership is by far the best car DEALERSHIP (Domestic or Foreign) I have ever been involved with including my good Toyota Dealership back in North Carolina. I am totally pleased with Pat Lobb dealership and in particular; Doug Ranzer, Assistant Service MGR, Jeff Colefield, Senior Master Tech, and Toby Clark, Service Department Director. This is saying a lot from a Retired Law Enforcement Detective from a major city in North Carolina who is use to scrutinizing everything. More
Lack of customer service / common decency. My previous visit to the service department seemed to go well (minus the long wait). The service advisor went over the status of my brakes and tires a My previous visit to the service department seemed to go well (minus the long wait). The service advisor went over the status of my brakes and tires and let me know what would be needed at the next service. However, what he failed to mention was that the Toyota Care program I was enrolled in would expire prior to that service being due and even if it did not, I was out of oil changes for that program. I only know this now because I made an appointment for an oil change and specifically mentioned in the comments that I did not have the budget to spend on anything not covered by the Toyota Care program. I took my vehicle in, waited in line 20 minutes past my scheduled appointment, and was then informed the oil change would not be covered. This information could have been relayed to me at any point after I made the appointment including when they called to confirm I would be there. It would have saved me time and hassle. Instead, I was left standing in the service center with an impatient advisor who wanted me to decide immediately if I was going to pay or leave. When I paused to think it over, he said he 'had other customers waiting and needed to go deal with them' and left. I don't think it would have been unreasonable for him to offer me a slight discount on the service, an apology for no one letting me know the program had expired, a moment of his time to talk through my options, or even the simple human decency of treating me like I was anything other than an inconvenience to him. When he came back, with another customer, I told him I was taking my vehicle elsewhere. He barely bothered to look up and definitely did not concern himself with apologizing for my wasted time. More

Pat Lobb Toyota and Doug Ranzer are awesome! I have owned Toyota vehicles for many years (since 1976), so I have been to many, many different dealerships. Some have been very good and some not s I have owned Toyota vehicles for many years (since 1976), so I have been to many, many different dealerships. Some have been very good and some not so much! However, this dealership has been outstanding each and every time that I have been there. So, far I have only been coming to this dealership for just over a year (just moved here last year...) and only using the service department, but I have been very pleased. When it comes time to get a new car, I would definitely use this dealership due soley to my experience with the service department. They are all awesome there, but Doug Ranzer has exceeded my expectations! From my first visit, I was so impressed. We have an extended warranty through Toyota, but our vehicle was purchased in Missouri when we lived there. Since the dealerships are in different regions, they couldn't just look up my warranty. However, that didn't phase Doug, he took care of it quickly and efficiently. Each time we go in now, I look for Doug, because I know that I will get excellent, efficient service each time! Thanks Pat Lobb Toyota and thank you Doug! More
Go somewhere else to buy or service your Toyota! I have bought a total of 5 new Toyotas over the last 15 years. I bought 2 brand new Tundras at Pat Lobb. The problems started when Pat Lobb's servic I have bought a total of 5 new Toyotas over the last 15 years. I bought 2 brand new Tundras at Pat Lobb. The problems started when Pat Lobb's service department damaged my truck when it went in for routine maintenance. They assured me they would "order the parts and fix the damage". I have taken my truck to them on 3 different occasions and all 3 times they neglected to fix the damage they caused. The service manager, Toby, was the person I dealt with the last 2 times I was in there. Not only was he rude and condescending but, he clearly did not take care of the issue after promising me he would. Needless to say I will not be back to this dealership....EVER! Toyota makes a great vehicle but, I would never consider buying another one from this shady dealership! More
Worst Manager - He disgraces Patt Lobb I requested information online on a vehicle I was interested in then I received a call from an internet sales rep who took all of my information, what I requested information online on a vehicle I was interested in then I received a call from an internet sales rep who took all of my information, what I was looking for, my budget, my trade info ect. I was then referred to Shaun Anderson because he was going to review all the info I sent over on my trade in and call me back with a estimate. He NEVER called back. I then called Pat Lobb and was given to another sales rep who asked for all the same info I had already provided. I again, gave all then info which both times I told them that I had just purchased one vehicle less than a year ago from Buck and wanted to work with him. Finally the director James Brown got involved after about 10 phone calls and a lot of wasted time and made sure Buck was working with me as I requested the very first call. I ended up purchasing a vehicle from Buck and everything seemed to be working out until right before I signed the paperwork I noticed a dent in the roof. Buck asked Shaun to look it over and fix it. Shaun agreed to do so and he would call to schedule a time for me to bring the vehicle up there. Shaun never called! After 3 emails and 4 phone calls (which several he stated he would call back and NEVER did) I finally had arranged a time to take my vehicle to Pat Lobb. I was told by Shaun a vehicle of equal or more value would be waiting on me and that he would make sure mats were installed as well as my tags and it would take two days. I go to Pat Lobb to drop my SUV off and guess what..... No vehicle was arranged for me to take, no one knew I was coming or what service I needed and Shaun had already left for the day! After a lot of wasted time and re-explaining over and over what I needed, who I talked to, ect I was given a old POS vehicle to drive that sounded like the engine was going to explode. I was again told it would take 2 days and I would get a call when it was ready. Day 2 came around and no call from Shaun so I call him. He gives me every excuse he can think of as to why things weren't done. He is a manager and I expected he would just own up to the fact that he dropped the ball rather than make excuses but no. He then tells me he is just waiting for it to be detailed then he will get the keys and call me. Did he call? Of course NOT! Day 4 comes around and I call the service department to see if my vehicle is ready and I am told "yes, it's been ready". So again Shaun didn't call me. I ask her to confirm if everything is completed before I drive all the way up there and she can only confirm one of the three things being completed and tells me I need to speak with Shaun to confirm. I refused then ask to speak with a manager and I'm told Shaun is a manager so I say never mind. I called James Brown and had to leave a message then I called Buck to see if he would take the time to straighten this all out. He promises to do so. I'm not on my way to Pat Lobb to get my vehicle however based on everything that's happened I guarantee when I get there that there will be problems. I almost want to just tell them to keep it and refund my money. It's sad when you spend over $30K on a vehicle and are treated so poorly. More

I had brought my Camry in for an oil change and to check out a vibration when applying brakes. It was determined that my rotors need to be turned which was priced at $220. This is what a brake job cost yet out a vibration when applying brakes. It was determined that my rotors need to be turned which was priced at $220. This is what a brake job cost yet I didn't have my brake pads replaced. I thought highly of this dealership until now and now will only get my oil changes here but take any service work to another Toyota store. Very disappointed. More
4 years ago I went to Patt Lobb in mckinney and I bought a used Toyota tundra with only 24300 miles on it. it was a fair price but like a sucker I succumbed to the "you need to buy the " 6 Year " 100 k mile a used Toyota tundra with only 24300 miles on it. it was a fair price but like a sucker I succumbed to the "you need to buy the " 6 Year " 100 k mile warranty. I was told it would cover prematurely worn tires, chipped glass, ... shortly thereafter I went in because 2 of the tires were worn out at 31k miles. I was told this wasn't covered because the previous owner had not had the tires rotated by a Toyota dealer every 5k miles. aggravated but stuff happens. yesterday I took my truck in at 99457 miles. about 500 before the 6 year 100k warranty was to expire, I was willing to pay them to look for anything that should be covered by the warranty and I was told my 6 year warranty had expired in 12 of 2012. the 6 year warranty didn't start when I bought it but when the vehicle first went into service. had I been told my 6 year warranty was actually a 3 year warranty I would never have spent over 1600 dollars on the xxxx thing. the credit managers comment? "im sorry that wasn't explained to you, I wasn't here at the time." Though I understood the warranty was till 100 k, I did not realize that if I bought a 3 year old truck and I bought a 6 year warranty its only good for three years. That’s a huge item people need to know. More
I unfortunately own a 2007 Camry XLE which now miraculously has 128,000 miles on it. I have had issues with it since the day I bought it as documented by Pat Lobb Toyota. Beyond the multiple rec miraculously has 128,000 miles on it. I have had issues with it since the day I bought it as documented by Pat Lobb Toyota. Beyond the multiple recalls and "extended, extended warranties" they've issued on parts like their clip-on visors and gas pedals, I have had a transmission issue (hard shifting) and a suspension issue which causes the tires to wear unevenly, what they call scalloping or feathering. This only happens in the rear. I'm about to put on my 6th set of tires. Toyota replaced a strut at about 27000 miles and replaced the tires the first 3 times under warranty. Each time claiming they wear in that manner because the tires were "soft, touring" tires. Now sludge has covered my motor. They tell me it needs to me rebuilt or replaced. No other options. Why sludge in the motor? According to Toyota records, they changed my oil every 5000 miles. But for the last 18 months, since they don't have records of oil changes, I must not have been changing oil every 5000 miles which Arik, their Director of Service, adamantly claims will ruin your engine. Never mind that I now find out that Toyota Camrys and Highlanders have serious design flaws involving the PVC valve which make them very sludge-prone. 4 years later all I get regarding the suspension and transmission problem is excuses and blank stares. He tells me that smoke pouring out my exhaust is NORMAL if you don't change oil every 5000 miles ( not 5500 or 6000 miles). I kept waiting for Pat Lobb Toyota to offer me something to show they were willing to be at least SLIGHTLY ACCOUNTABLE for all the issues I've had with their product (transmission, visors, recalls, extended warranties, sludge, suspension, 3 ignition coils, tires, ....). Sadly, they offered nothing but blame and excuses. More
