AutoNation Toyota Irvine

Power Toyota Irvine is THE WORST dealership around. I was a victim of their games, they advertised a car for $12,994 and when I called up to inquire about the vehicle they all of a sudden said the ad pri was a victim of their games, they advertised a car for $12,994 and when I called up to inquire about the vehicle they all of a sudden said the ad price was in error and the car was actually $16,900. I got an email in writing from an internet sales manager Ken Baniff who said he would honor the ad price of $12,994, I responded to him and no word back, apparently it was his day off, so once I finally got ahold of the internet sales manager David Reed he said he would not honor the ad price and that he was also going to fire Ken, after we went back and forth for a day and a half I got a call from another internet sales manager named Ryan Lake who said he would honor the ad price and I should come in, well when I asked if the car was still there he said he had to go check, I called 6 times and asked about the status of the car so I could plan to come down on my lunch break, finally hours later they said the car had been auctioned off. What they were trying to do is cover their arse's for mistakenly listing a lower ad price or this is how they get you involved and get you to come in and get you to buy something full priced or overpriced off their lot because the "AD" car is suddenly unavailable, well I didn't fall for it, neither should you. I will also note that I am a cash customer so they were low on options of scamming me on the bumped up interest game they always pull through their financing companies, that is one reason why I feel they wanted to get rid of me because I was not a stupid "sign anything" customer BEWARE OF THIS DEALER UNLESS YOU ARE STUPID AND LIKE TO PAY ABOVE FULL PRICE AND DON'T CARE WHAT CAR YOU BUY BECAUSE THE ONE YOU SAW ADVERTISED WILL BE GONE!!!!!

I believe he assumed that we were young and weren't going to buy, Went in one weekend and an asian guy walked us over to sit my brother and I down. I believe he assumed that we were young and weren't going to buy, so he just said "sorry you have to make an appointment on weekends" and that was it. I didn't understand why he didn't just tell us when we were there at the frontdesk, probably because he didn't want others to hear. Next weekend, we went again and dealt with a pushy salesman who tried to sell us a year old, 6,000 mile fully loaded Camry SE for $30K before taxes and fees! Not only was carpet on side coming out, but it had scratches on it. Anyways, we continued to look for cars and he told me not once, but twice that the price I wanted to get the car for was crazy and that I was "looking at the wrong car". Afterwards, i did quotes online and received quotes $5,000 below what he wanted. After I told somebody about my experience, they said the same about the Power group in general, that they are very unethical and high pressure/pushy. I would NOT recommend them or even bother to give them my money. More

Anyways, I noticed that 07 Camry's have headlights where one of them is dimmer than the other and I've seen it on his and others driving around. I told him to ask if they could replace that and the service guy said that "they were built that way" and my brother, being nice, just agreed. Afterwards, I was angry with the service rep's answer. Maybe that's why Toyota's ratings have slipped if uneven headlights are "built that way." Ridiculous. More

I made a 9:15AM oil change appointment. I got there on time, they checked me in, took my truck, then as we were doing paperwork, they told me the wait would be 2 hours. I asked why it would be 2 hours whe time, they checked me in, took my truck, then as we were doing paperwork, they told me the wait would be 2 hours. I asked why it would be 2 hours when I had made an appointment, and I was told "We've checked in 100 cars already this morning and they all have appointments". I decided to leave and it took them 15 minutes to return my unserviced truck to me. More

Very bad experience. Went at 3:00 PM and did not let me go out. Very bad deal and very pushy. Finally after the deal is over the finance/cashier said they generally recommend security system. So I said to go out. Very bad deal and very pushy. Finally after the deal is over the finance/cashier said they generally recommend security system. So I said to leave the system on the car. After I came home observed that they ridiculously charged $1400. They won't take it out later. More

They couldn't find the problem and told us we were lying because the problem with our car could not be reproduced and "was impossible". They never called to give us a status, and none of the managers ever because the problem with our car could not be reproduced and "was impossible". They never called to give us a status, and none of the managers ever returned phone calls. More

I have never been this unhappy with a car purchase in my life or as a customer. My experience at Power Toyota Irvine was a one time mistake. They sure acted sincere before I sign the contract but once i s life or as a customer. My experience at Power Toyota Irvine was a one time mistake. They sure acted sincere before I sign the contract but once i step out of that door, they were too busy to talk. Brian Cole, the finance manager, rip me off with the extended warranty and screwed up my loan process. Yet, he did not have the decency to apologize or return my phone calls. It is a shame that as a manager he treated his customers this way. I am even more disappointed that the people of Power Toyota Irvine has done nothing to resolve this problem. As to the future, i will not have any kind of association with Power Toyota Irvine and so will be my family and friends. I hope they will realize that it costs 4x more to built a new customer than to keep a customer. More

Joe took a $1000 deposit check from me and he lost it. Instead of accepting what he did he lies by claiming that that he never took it. Instead of accepting what he did he lies by claiming that that he never took it. More

I called Power Toyota Irvine and spoke to internet salesman David Reed to ask for an emailed quote with price breakdown and out the door price, but he didn’t return my call until 4 days later (in whic salesman David Reed to ask for an emailed quote with price breakdown and out the door price, but he didn’t return my call until 4 days later (in which time I had already purchased my Toyota Yaris elsewhere,) nor did he ever send me an email quote. He did not seem interested in dealing with me at all; apparently it seemed as if he did not really want to invest any time dealing with a knowledgeable car buyer. I was not surprised that he never emailed me a quote or even sent me a thank you response. Bad shopping experience and poor customer service. If asked, I will steer people away from Power Toyota Irvine. More
