I'll be the first to give Mr. Carpenter a review. Took my 2010 Tundra in for a faulty windshield moulding, this caused that annoying ticking sound while doing highway speeds. Dropped it off in the mornin my 2010 Tundra in for a faulty windshield moulding, this caused that annoying ticking sound while doing highway speeds. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. I was hoping he would initially replace the part but instead they had the moulding sealed. However, Mike said if if pops back up to give him a call and they'll replace it. Anyway, a few weeks go buy and noticed the moulding started to warp .. so I figured to give Mike a call. Plus, there was also an issue with the truck engaging while I was at a full stop. It felt like being bumped in the back so decided to have them take a look at it along with the moulding. Dropped it off in the morning and I received a call from Mike providing me with a detailed list of what he intends to do withthe truck. Unfortunately, they didn't have the part so they had to special order it. They kept the truck for a day and picked it up late eveining. The moulding was replaced and a new drive shaft was installed. Thanks for keeping your word and not trying to "jerry-rig" the moulding. Now, I knew about the driveshaft before I went to the dealership--I knew there was an existing TSB available and wanted to see if these guys would bring it up. To my surprise-- they did. He mentioned during the assessment that there was a TSB for the problem I mentioned about the bumping feeling when the truck is stopped. I'm surprised because I've owned several Toyotas from the first gen Tundra's to the first gen 4Runners, and I've taken these vehicles to other dealerships and never got the service I received from DCH. I know my Toyota's and I know when a good service advisor is honest. The last honest service advisor I had was in Van Nuys several years ago-- this guy went above and beyond when I had my 2002 Tundra supercharged. On another note, when I left the truck for service that day, I mentioned to my wife I left 25.00 in cash in the center console and some change in the dispenser. This was after the fact so if it was taken then I wouldn't have an argument to stand on --when I picked up the truck low and behold money and change was still there. That was an outstanding feeling. Reassurance and honesty from a dealership--- who would've thunk. Thanks Mike and the Service team--looking forward to using your services in the future. More

I was helping my Mom out by getting her scheduled service completed while she was on vacation. When I got to the dealer, Cesar directed me to the correct place to drop off my car, I had no appointment yet he completed while she was on vacation. When I got to the dealer, Cesar directed me to the correct place to drop off my car, I had no appointment yet he was able to get my Mom's car serviced right away. While I was waiting Cesar showed me around the dealership and we checked out a few cars as my lease on my current car will be up soon. We didn't get to go for a test drive as the service department completed the oil change within 45 mins which was about an hour ahead of my estimated completion time. Wow!!! that NEVER happens at other dealers. I will be coming back to see Cesar as soon as I get closer to my lease turn in date as you have some nice looking cars on your lot and Cesar was so very knowledgeable and friendly. I didn't feel pressured in any way to "buy the car today" so I will be back assuming Cesar can help me when I return! More

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate it that these two employees went out of their way to help me when I found myself stranded at a gas station a couple of miles from the dealership. When I got out of two employees went out of their way to help me when I found myself stranded at a gas station a couple of miles from the dealership. When I got out of the car to get gas, I had dropped my keys (unbeknownst to me) inside the windshield wiper area. When I got back in the car and got the "No Key Detected" sign, I searched frantically for my keys around and under the car, and couldn't find them. On the off chance that someone was still at the dealership and would be willing to give me a ride home and back to get my spare keys, I called the Toyota dealership. Angel kindly agreed to have Mark drive over to help me. He almost immediately spotted my keys inside the windshield wiper area. Of course, I felt like a complete doofus. If he thought I was as well, he certainly gave no indication. He was very nice and wished me a good evening. This kind of customer service is rare to non-existent any more. I truly appreciated it, and wanted to share. Thank you!!! More
