That custo ordering a car. Dealership refused to show the the total out the door price. Charging over msrp and charging fake fees and Dealer add ons. That customer doesn't want on there new car. This is not a place to do business with as they are in the business to cheat and overcharge customers. More

From the moment I entered the dealership, I was greeted, my needs assessed, and I was being shown vehicles within 15 minutes. I worked with Greydi and he was pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. The Fin my needs assessed, and I was being shown vehicles within 15 minutes. I worked with Greydi and he was pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly. The Finance team worked with me and kept me informed through the entire process. I dread going to car dealerships. Heritage Toyota complexly changed my thinking because I was not pressured and their professionalism was top notch. I would repeatedly buy vehicles from this dealership and recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Heritage Toyota team! More

Exceptional Customer Service from the top The service director Tony at this dealership is the real deal. He truly cares about his customers and if you have had a bad experience he goes out of The service director Tony at this dealership is the real deal. He truly cares about his customers and if you have had a bad experience he goes out of his way to make it right. The regular service managers tend to cut corners and try to get you in and out as quickly as possible. Most do not take the time to let you know what was done or not done on your car and are next to impossible to get a hold off if you have a problem or complaint. I have been taking my 21013 Toyota 4-Runner there on a regular basis for the past 6 years to receive service. The last time I brought in my vehicle I notice that it was missing one of the lugnuts from doing a tire rotation there. When I asked about what happen to it, he first asked if I was sure it had been there originally and maybe it could have been removed at a different shop. I explained that this could be possible since there location is the only place that I take my car in to be serviced. Service manager was reluctant to replace it & had to insist that the do so. Long story short after being told 3 days to get the part received it in 8 days, they ended up replacing it with the wrong part that didn’t match the others & didn’t even tell me: Found out a few months later when I got a flat & needed to change the tire that they were not able to do it because the 1 lugnut was different & the tool to remove it that they gave me would not work on that one because it was different!, Needless to say I was not impressed! 😡 So; this time I went straight to the top and spoke with the service director Tony. Tony was very understanding and took the time to listen to my whole story without interrupting me. He apologized about what happened and said that he would take care of it. Well, I’ve heard that before so I wasn’t confident that he would do anything about it anytime soon & started looking for other options. Well Tony dropped what he was doing and within a couple of hours had personally driven to the body shop about a 40 min drive with the tool to remove the lugnut and the correct replacement and took care of it:Wow! He actually came throgh and did what he said he would. I was truly grateful and surprised to see that he was truly a man of his word and that he stepped up and took accountability and made it right: Thank-you Tony. Your actions were very much appreciated:😊 More

Service Center On May 29, 2018 I took my 2011 Toyota Venza to Heritage Toyota Owings Mills 9801 Reisterstown Rd Owings Mills, MD 21117 for service. My front passenge On May 29, 2018 I took my 2011 Toyota Venza to Heritage Toyota Owings Mills 9801 Reisterstown Rd Owings Mills, MD 21117 for service. My front passenger door and two rear doors would not unlock using the key fob nor door switches. I discuss the problem thoroughly with the service advisor and we both agreed before any work was done on my vehicle that all three door actuators going bad at the exact same time isn't probable. Prior I have disconnect the battery twice before going to Heritage Toyota of Owing Mills Maryland because of this problem. The locks would then work correctly but would stop with in 2 days. When you press on your key fob unlock button once the driver's door would unlock and twice makes the other three doors unlock. So they are controlled electrically and together from an control module in the vehicle. This is Jake Gold point which sounds totally unbelievable. My 14 year tech said the three actuators are bad and needs to be replace and we are sticking with this diagnosis. I responded how in the world can you get three flat tires from a single nail because that sounds just like your diagnosis. It has to be common connection to all three because they are during the exact same thing. All three will lock but not unlock. All three would work again correctly after disconnecting and reconnecting battery. Then all three would only work correctly for a couple of days and then back to the original problem of not unlocking with either the key fob nor door switches. If they did not do the exact same thing then maybe it could be that all three are bad but they would work and then not work at the exact same time. So I asked to speak with the service manager to discuss my concerns. Everything went down hill from this point. It was me against this advisor Jake Gold whom attitude got the best of him. He said to me "that's no problem because I'm tried of talking to you anyway". He then meet with his manager inside the glass walls while I waited in the service lanes. He talked to his manager for approximately 7 or 8 minutes inside the glass walls. So I knew there wouldn't be an non bias opinion or listening to the points I was making about this diagnosis to the Service Manager. All I got from this Manager Tony Pulignani was "DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY RESET THE ACTUATORS and I'm sticking with my tech " this is what the Service Manager Pulignani had said. If anything was "RESET" by disconnecting the battery it would had been an Control Module that is an electronic device not an Actuator which main component is a small RC motor. These are my points I made to the service manager and the team member of my service advisor.. I also asked for another tech to look at the vehicle but was told if you paid for it. At this time I see that any and all my points where to mute ears and there was no way I was paying them $1800 for removing and replacing three working actuators which isn't and couldn't be the problem. Again my points are that all three passengers door do not UNLOCK with the key fob nor door switches. All four doors will lock with the key fob and door switches. Second after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery all three door actuators would work correctly for a couple of days and then back to the original problem. If one out of the three did not do the same as the other two then I would not had a problem with the diagnosis. More
