Great first experience with their service department I had a bit of trouble finding them because the location is different for the service department and for the sales rooms. The check in process went I had a bit of trouble finding them because the location is different for the service department and for the sales rooms. The check in process went smoothly and the service adviser, Steve Guerraro, was well informed, clear, and patient. Best of all, he never tried pushing unnecessary items like so many service shops do. The waiting area has free wifi and real Starbucks coffee, other drinks, a concession bar where you can get excellent lunches including a high protein plate. They eve have a hostess to answer questions. It was an excellent experience and I plan to go back. More

I was lured to this dealership by an employee named Patrick who told me it would be tough but that he could get a lease for less than $270 a month on a Corolla. When I arrived, he was no where to be found. I was helped by a nice guy named James. Poor James had to deal with the war zone of a mess that Patrick set up for him. The lowest lease they could get me was OVER $500!!!! I don't want someone to get there hopes up in a car that they like and have the rugged pulled out from under them. I'm sorry James for what you had to deal with tonight. More

Damaged my truck, Never Made it Right Unbelievably poor experience with Toyota Carlsbad. The lot attendant crashed my truck into a pole breaking my driver side mirror, denting and scra Unbelievably poor experience with Toyota Carlsbad. The lot attendant crashed my truck into a pole breaking my driver side mirror, denting and scratching the door panel as well. I could hear the guy at the kiosk talking to the attendant over the walkie-talkie saying to just "bend the mirror back" but it was beyond a band-aid fix. They pulled my truck down to the Service Writer's office and as I walked over, the lot attendant jumped out of the truck without an apology or eye contact. Service Writer did not apologize either, but he promised to "make it right." I understand accidents happen and my truck is a bit older, but an apology would have certainly been appreciated. I waited a week to see my truck again, took time off work and came out to look at the work they performed. Full disclosure, my Tacoma is 17 years old and the paint is a bit faded, but that's no excuse to not even ATTEMPT to match or blend the paint at all. My driver side mirror now vibrates constantly and the reflection makes it very distracting to drive. Never had that problem, and even the passenger mirror is perfectly still even in gale-force winds. So now, I have a bright red driver door (no paint matching attempt at all), a broken mirror that was half-assed in the replacement and on top of it all, there's small chunks of oil or something on the interior upholstery that spread and stain when I tried to clean them. I spent all weekend re-cleaning my truck and the Service MANAGER, Dave Marchienne (apologize if I spelled your name wrong, Dave) has essentially told me to deal with it. I took it back to have the General Manager, Ivan Mendelson, look over the truck and the completely sub-par effort put forth by his service staff. He agreed the work was poorly done and we would hold on to the truck, and call me on Monday to review a few different options to make me whole. I received a call from Dave Marchienne late Monday to say they had detailed, clay-barred, polished my entire truck. Here's the problem, that doesn't restore the paint back to original condition, and it certainly did not help blend the poor paintwork performed. Now, nearly a month later, my truck looks no better than it did before the detailing they did. I'm pissed because my truck's panels used to match, and now they don't. My mirror never had problems, now it bounces and shakes, making the reflection incredibly distracting. They refuse to fix those problems they created. They didn't even offer to knock a few bucks off my service bill. What a joke. This place sucks, the service is awful and they are poor communicators. I requested a quote to repaint my entire truck so the panels all matched, Dave never got back to me. Ivan never got back to me. This place is a joke and I will be taking my truck to TOYOTA EL CAJON from now on, I'm sure I will be treated much better there. I take a great deal of pride in have a well-serviced, clean, and all original vehicle. I thought taking it to a Toyota Certified Service Center would be the best way to go, but this whole experience has left an awful taste in my mouth. Also, many of the recommended services are just a cash-grab effort. I was told my battery "failed the test." That's funny, never had any trouble with it, but I know there's more than meets the eye with vehicle charging systems and electronics so I took my truck over to AutoZone and had the perform a free battery and alternator test. Guess what? Nothing wrong with my battery or alternator! Whew! Glad I saved that $200. That's $200 of my hard-earned money that TC will never get. Won't ever return. More
