Aweful experience with Service Department AGAIN.
Since the last visit I was honestly not expecting there to be any issue, but that wasn't the case. I had to call twice to be sure I had my 24 month
Since the last visit I was honestly not expecting there to be any issue, but that wasn't the case. I had to call twice to be sure I had my 24 month/24,000 mile service scheduled. Thought this was going to be routine. NOPE, the appointment was on Dec 17th at 11:05 am. arrived and at first they couldn't find the truck in the system, once it was found, they asked if I was going to be paying for the service work (Its covered under the lease of the truck). The service was taking care of no charge and brought the truck back home. Only to find that the service tech did not tighten the oil drain plug, once this was discovered checked the oil level and was just barely on the dipstick. Called the dealership and now waiting for a call back to see what they are going to do about this. I have given Lost Pines every chance to improve the service but they seem to have not addressed the root cause and keep repeating the same operating procedures and providing lack luster service. I'm glad to see some positive reviews on here, but unfortunately I haven't been that lucky. 1. Why is it so difficult to call and schedule an appointment and receive confirmation. 2. Once you get confirmation why is it the service writer can't find you in the system. 3. Why isn't there any quality checks done before they return your vehicle to you. My experience with the Sales has ALWAYS been exceptional. When Lost Pines first opened and I leased my first Tundra from them the Service department was AWESOME, now on my 4th or 5th Tacoma I am very hesitant to keep going back to the dealership for service. PLEASE take this not as a complaint but as an opportunity to do IMPROVE.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We truly regret that your recent service visit did not meet the standards you should expect—especially after you gave us another opportunity to earn your trust.
What you described is concerning, particularly the oil drain plug not being properly tightened and the lack of a final quality check before your vehicle was returned. That is unacceptable and not reflective of the care we strive to provide. We understand how serious this could have been, and we sincerely apologize for the stress and inconvenience this caused.
You also raised very valid points regarding appointment scheduling, confirmation, system visibility, and internal communication. These are fundamental processes, and when they fail, it directly impacts your confidence in us. Your feedback clearly highlights areas where we must improve, and we are taking this seriously.
We truly appreciate you recognizing the positive experiences you’ve had with our sales team over the years and your long-standing loyalty to Lost Pines Toyota. It’s especially disappointing to hear that the service experience has not remained consistent with what you experienced when we first opened—and that consistency is exactly what we need to regain.
We appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly and address your concerns. Our team is reviewing this situation internally to ensure proper checks and processes are reinforced so this does not happen again.
Thank you again for your honesty. We take this not as a complaint, but as an opportunity to improve—and we are committed to doing better moving forward.
LP Toyota has my vehicle running quietly and I really
appreciate that! It’s nice to have my new vehicle running as it should with no brake noises . Thank you!

When I purchased a car from another dealership anytime my
car was in for a service appointment I would get it back cleaned and vacuumed. It would be great if Lost Pines Toyota would provide this perk as wel

Did not buy car from this dealership due to supply chain
issues but have used them for all service since new. Excellent customer service, ease of scheduling and good communication during the service visit.

Department to drive away customers with their POOR customer service, I can't continue to recommend them. I currently lease a 2023 Tacoma, the 5th one I've leased from them. I scheduled an appointment with Tia on August 19th for service on August 28th at 9 am. Upon arrival today was told I didn't have an appointment. I called my sales person and he helped clear this up. The truck was in for a gauge cluster replacement, regular maintenance and to have a rim repaired that one of Lost Pines Techs damaged 2 visits ago. The truck was taking in but sat for 7 HOURS without ANYTHING being done to it. So I have waisted 2 hours of drive time and 7 HOURS of my personal time only to have Lost Pines do NOTHING to my Tacoma. I have called the GM about this and will be waiting to see if ANYTHING at all is done to correct this terrible Service Department.
