Terrible Customer Service My experience started after I purchased a certified used 2012 Sienna 3 months ago. After just 2 months the A/C on my car gave out in heat of mid Ju My experience started after I purchased a certified used 2012 Sienna 3 months ago. After just 2 months the A/C on my car gave out in heat of mid July. I scheduled an appoint. on the Freeman website for Sat morning and brought my car in to the service department where I was greeted by James. At first he had a hard time finding my appoint. and after I told to him that I had made it on the website using the schedule appointment page, he explained to me that the website appoint. function wasn't up and running perfectly yet. I told him my problem, they did diagnostic on my car for the day and I used the shuttle program to get home and back from the service department. When I came to pick up the car, James informed me that the car required A/C service and the location of parts need replacement were in hard to reach areas of the dash/engine which justified the hefty price tag for diagnostics at $156 which I originally thought shouldn't cost me anything since my car was a certified used vehicle and I had purchased the platinum extended warranty. He told me regardless of my warranty I still needed to pay the diagnostic fee. He told me I would get a call the following Tues/Wed when the part arrived to reserve an appt. The service I needed would only take 3 hrs. hrs. Tues & Wed came and went with no call and it wasn't until the following Monday when I finally was able to get someone on the phone after leaving messages for James everyday Wed-Sat. I had a car with no A/C and two small children for over a week in July on one of the hottest weeks of the year. On Mon. I set up an appt. with a rep who told me the part came in as scheduled on Wed the week prior. I was greeted at my appt. by Curtis who informed me my service would take 3 days not 2 hrs and I could rent a car complimentary. 3 days into service, Curtis called to tell me my car would take 4 days instead of 3. On Friday, I returned my rental, picked up my car from Curtis and received my receipt with $1800 worth of service covered by warranty. Not once being told I am owed a refund for my diagnostic fee. After almost 2 weeks later James calls me to inform me that the part I need is covered by warranty and I can come it to get service. I called him back explained I received service already, and was expecting a refund for my paid diagnostic fee. He sounded confused and tells me he will call me back in 10 min. Never heard back from him, I called and left him a message, and after 3 days I finally called Freeman to talk to the GM of service dept. David calls me back and tells me the GM Jerry is unavailable. Hey tells me he is sorry for my experience and will send me my diagnostic fee back ASAP and inform the GM of my experience. That's it! No remuneration, no compensation, no asking what he can do to make it better or make it up to me, giving me a reason to try give them another shot. In fact, it seemed like he was doing me a favor by getting the money they owed me back to me. With so many other great options in Sonoma to use for Toyota service why would you go somewhere, where the reps have inconsistent stories, terrible communication with their customers, and are willing to take your money they are not owed. Disgraceful and unethical business practices. More
