Last Time My wife and me have bought 3 vehicles from Universal Toyota over the last several years and we have been very happy with them until we bought the last My wife and me have bought 3 vehicles from Universal Toyota over the last several years and we have been very happy with them until we bought the last one. My wife traded in her “old” Toyota with personalized license plates and was in the understanding, that Universal Toyota would order the personalized license plate as she had on the old vehicle. Today (One month after purchase), after talking with them several times by phone, text and e mail I was told, that it was probably easier if we would go to the tax office and do it ourselves. They were passing us during that time from one person to the other. We are frustrated and not happy with them at all and will go to a different Toyota Dealership in the future. Frank Witting More
It was Excellent, Outstanding and Exceptional Service Thank you! You won't believe what a blessing it was to receive the phone call from Paul Garcia on Friday morning. We had made a deal with another dea Thank you! You won't believe what a blessing it was to receive the phone call from Paul Garcia on Friday morning. We had made a deal with another dealership. After driving in from Midland TX, we find out they didn't disclose information until we were in Austin to pick up the truck and the deal fell through. Though we were skeptical to drive another hour and half to Universal Toyota, Paul certainly made it worth our while. Paul's partner Gregg Joseph took us for a test drive and explained the features of the Toyota truck while Paul had our trade in appraised. We loved Mark Hanna the finance guy too. He was funny and engaging while he explained the financing and optional services. Thank you for taking care of us and giving us the best buying experience in 30 years! We love our new Toyota Tundra.

My experience with Universal Toyota I never thought I would say, "I adore my car salesman", but there I go. I am 72 years old, my 2002 Toyota Camry was totaled in the April '16 hair sto I never thought I would say, "I adore my car salesman", but there I go. I am 72 years old, my 2002 Toyota Camry was totaled in the April '16 hair storm, and the thought of having to buy a new car was stressful. Early one Friday morning my daughter and I went to Universal Toyota to look at a car my daughter thought was a good deal. We were both disappointed and ready to leave, but Gabriel Aguilar was determined to help me find a car. He was very polite and helpful; not at all aggressive and in my face. Spent around five hours showing us different vehicles; asking questions of me to determine exactly what I wanted. I found the car I wanted at a good price. Kate More

He was excellent in handli We just bought a Toyota Tundra 2016 this June. Aaron was our sales person. Aaron Perches is really knowledgeable and funny. He was excellent in handling our purchase. He was able to find the perfect vehicle to suit both our needs and wants. He worked extremely hard to exceed our requests when negotiating our asked price with both, the financial department and manager. We had an excellent experience due to his ability to honor all our requests. We would definitely recommend Aaron as your sales person. More
Very bad experience I went to the dealership to buy a Camry. I was told Camrys were not made in crushed blue. The next day I literally found out the salesman lied. Cont I went to the dealership to buy a Camry. I was told Camrys were not made in crushed blue. The next day I literally found out the salesman lied. Contacted management I was told, basically out of luck. But all things are at their discretion. If they wanted to help me they could have. They owned by Red McCombs they don't offer an HEB discount. Not a happy customer. Never again! Disgruntled customer. More
Terrible buying experience Worst experience ever....I have been buying cars for over 25 years and have never had this bad of an experience...we bought a used vehicle from them a Worst experience ever....I have been buying cars for over 25 years and have never had this bad of an experience...we bought a used vehicle from them and they never called our bank to get a payoff on our trade in and so several weeks later our bank calls and and notifies us payoff is short over 350.00 and that Universal Toyota said we would have to pay it..that's crazy!!! They should have done there job and called our bank and got a 20 day payoff instead of just basically guessing what it was...because of their inadequacies we had to pay the shortage and also had to make a payment on our new vehicle. We address management on numerous occasions by phone and email and no one would contact us back. We also never received a second key to the vehicle ...they always make promises until you buy then afterwards you can never get a hold of anyone. This dealership is so unprofessional...I will never buy or recommend them to anyone!!! More
Trusting your service Department Do not trust Service Department. Went in for my 20,000 mile oil change and was told everything was good to go. Then on my 30,000 Mile oil change I wen Do not trust Service Department. Went in for my 20,000 mile oil change and was told everything was good to go. Then on my 30,000 Mile oil change I went over to San Marcos Toyota and they told me they could not get my oil plug off. I told them that I got it serviced at Universal Toyota, so they suggested I go back and have it serviced by them and then to have it rechecked by San Marcos Toyota. So, I did just that. Went to the service department and told them about the over tightened oil plug and they assured me that they would get to the bottom of the problem. They came back saying that all was well and there was no problems the plug. So, I went back to San Marcos to have them look it back over at the work that Universal Toyota had done and found out that they totally cross threaded the plug and that they had to take it completely out with a wrench, it completely ruined the oil pan. Metal shavings were found in the oil and on the plug. I called Universal Toyota up and they told me to drive it back so they could fix the problem even though they created the problem. I don't want to make it more worse that it already is. Who knows it the metal shavings caused any problems when I drove it over to San Marcos Toyota or even if there was metal shavings in the oil before this oil change. I will never step foot back into Universal Toyota again. I don't want to keep going back to have a $25,000 investment for reliable transportation ruined by service people who don't care in the first place to do the job correctly. More
A great experience I took my car to get the oil changed and had the good fortune of driving off with a 2015 Toyota Prius. My Salesman was Hector Roman under the auspices I took my car to get the oil changed and had the good fortune of driving off with a 2015 Toyota Prius. My Salesman was Hector Roman under the auspices of Adam Soto. Universal Toyota has Great people working in a family atmosphere. I was so excited about my experience that the following day my son bought a 2016 Toyota as well...his salesman was Issac Galvan. So if your shopping around in need of a vehicle...don't waste your time...go see the people at Universal Toyota....If you want the best..you need to deal with the best! Diana M Gonzales More
Brand new 2016 scion, nothing but problems since. The sales experience was great, the service department however has been absolutely terrible. I bought a 2016 scion iA. Couple weeks of driving it i ke The sales experience was great, the service department however has been absolutely terrible. I bought a 2016 scion iA. Couple weeks of driving it i kept hearing this scrapping noise come from the left side of the car. I take it back to universl toyota services to get it fixed and they say oh it just needs a tire rotation. I said okay then and they did it. I pick it up the next day and what do yu know, the noise is still happening! So when I called to let them know, i got the run around from several people transferring me all over the place. So I decided to bring it to a different toyota dealership and right away the services department here told me whoever said it needs a tire rotation was wrong! The rims the dealership originally put on my brand new car and sold it to me, are too big and now im most likely going to have to remove the rims which is one of the main reasons the car caught my eye! I do not want this car anymore if I cant have it the way I originally purchased it! Turns out the rims and tires are too tall and too wide so they said im going to have to put stock rims on it! What I want is for them to make this right. I would give this car back to them and retart the buying process, xxxx I'll even buy from the same dealership! Great sales, terrible services!! More
