I had an issue with a 2022 4Runner with 31K Miles that I just purchased ( Still under Warranty) Brought it to Dowling and had it looked at. My previous vehicle was a 2007 Rav4 AWD. The Rav4 is Automatic AWD just purchased ( Still under Warranty) Brought it to Dowling and had it looked at. My previous vehicle was a 2007 Rav4 AWD. The Rav4 is Automatic AWD, or you can press a button to engage it from a stop, the 4Runner is quite different with a sequence that you must go through (some what confusing) to engage 4Lo/4Hi/2Hi/DAC/ATRAC. To make a long story short I was trying out the different systems and I got stuck in 4Lo and I could not get it out? Drove it in Reverse, than Forward (In 2Hi) but it would not disengage? So I called Dowling's Service Department while in the car for help and I get this guy Pat to ask for some guidance, and what do I get? A really nasty person talking down to me, telling me that I'm looking for trouble and that he was not going to help me!!! All I have to say is, this guy needs a Vacation! Completely disrespectful, Arrogant, full of himself (He said I have 37 Years of experience) BIG DEAL DUMMY! When you talk down to people, and not offer help you should be FIRED! Last time I'll go to this dealership! YOU SUCK! This is directed at Pat! Matt, and Chris where very good! More

When the Prius first hit the market we called several dealerships. Each one was charging thousands of dollars over sticker and the wait for delivery was about 6 months. When we called Dowling they were c dealerships. Each one was charging thousands of dollars over sticker and the wait for delivery was about 6 months. When we called Dowling they were charging sticker and we had our Prius in less than 2 weeks. I bought my second Prius in 2017 and gave my cousin our 2005, which is still in terrific shape. I would never buy a car anywhere else. I trust every one of the staff. More

Stilled thrilled -after 20 years with Dowling Toyota I have purchased 2 new Toyotas from Dowling (and 3 other used Toyotas from other sources) over the past 25 years and can certainly recommend their Sal I have purchased 2 new Toyotas from Dowling (and 3 other used Toyotas from other sources) over the past 25 years and can certainly recommend their Salesman Pat Fitzgerald. They are laid back, friendly and willing to go the distance for their customers. I actually tried to buy a new car in the past 2 weeks from Ford, Nissen, Honda and Mazda! I test drove 6 cars after doing hours of online research. I was looking for a combination of specific features and felt like many salespeople were not listening to me! As a last resort went to Pat. Amazingly he had the perfect car for us, and we test drove it immediately. He didn't flinch when I asked for a different car color and interior. He had the car in 2 days, we paid less than we expected, and we just drove it home today. I am a very happy customer. More
Stunning rudeness I have been a Toyota owner for decades, in fact my 1988 FX is still my running around car and is Toyota's best advertisement. However when I started t I have been a Toyota owner for decades, in fact my 1988 FX is still my running around car and is Toyota's best advertisement. However when I started to have issues with the factory paint job on my 2011 Rav4 (Blizzard Pearl---look it up guys, this paint was a problem) I was told that the car must have been repainted because several years ago it was rear-ended. Well as it turns out the car was not repainted and there is an acknowledged problem with the factory white paint used for several years on a number of Toyotas, most particularly the Rav4s. The years are apparently 2009 to 2015. After several years the paint starts to come off in sheets. Delamination it is called. The paint simply separates from the primer and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Armed with this information and after calling to the very nice people at Toyota Corporation I went back to Dowling to let them know what I had found out so that they could be helpful to the next bewildered customer who comes in the door with the same problem. I was very polite, I was not angry, I was not asking for anything. They basically threw me out telling me that my car had been repainted (not true) and it was not Toyota's paint job. Wow! I was stunned. They had a customer in there out of ear shot and I was not making any sort of fuss but they did not want to hear it and turned angry and aggressive. I would never go there for anything. That is no way to treat a person. More
They refused to listen to a noise my car was making I went to this dealership because my car was making a gurgling noise and when I did they replaced the transmission computer but the car came back with I went to this dealership because my car was making a gurgling noise and when I did they replaced the transmission computer but the car came back with two more prominent noises and when I went back They said they couldn't hear anything , so I said can I take ur guy for a ride like I did the first time I showed them them the noise. (I had to show them the noise because they could hear the noise) so I made appt went back and they said we can't find a noise I said can I take ur guy again and show him? And she said.no he is busy..I couldn't believe my ears!!! I Am their customer standing there willingly wanting to show her the problem and she said no to me I totally couldn't believe it...The service lady Jessica then texted me and asked me to take my vehicle somewhere else for servicing!! I truly believe it did not need the transmission computer and they did it for the money from the warranty and caused two more noises but I don't know that for sure all I can say is who tells the customer know you can't show me what's wrong? And please don't come back not good business!!! More
