Mr. Sergeant does not care about the customer.Had tire warning light. Their solution was to put air in it and send me on my way! Tire had a puncture. More

John, I care very much for the safety of all our customers. We fixed your tire free of charge as per your tire warranty. The fact we added air to the tire seems to be your concern on the review, however, the phone call we had-- the concern was me not approving you to return the vehicle after six full weeks / 2500 miles of ownership due to a nail in the tire issue. We are always here to help and talk about concerns in a calm and professional manner based common sense principles. Thanks Eric Sarjeant General Manager Ed Martin Toyota Cell: 317-385-95

Mr. Sarjeant, The conversation didn’t start well. Apparently, you do not have the entire information. When leasing the car I paid an extra $900 + for the tire warranty. Therefore, when I arrived at the dealership to have my tire looked at the experience was not a good one. As you know, I had to ask to have the car put up on the rack to have the tire further inspected, to which my suspicions were validated, a nail in the tire. Your service young man only wanted to add air to the tire and have me move on down the road. That could have resulted in a very dire situation. So, when the new tire was placed, it was not free. I had paid for the warranty. In my years of sales, I never spoke to a customer in this way. My career was longer than you have been able to speak. Did I have unhappy customers, yes at times I did. I listened to their concerns and then readily asked how I might make the situation right. You, sir, have hurled many accusations and have not acted in a professional manner. We have 2 Ed Martin dealerships in our community, never has my wife been treated with such disrespect. Understand, I will not be spoken to in the manner you spoke to me. It was rude and disrespectful. Might I suggest a customer service course for you in how to handle an unhappy customer. More importantly, the service department needs a course in helping a customer before they have to ask for the help. Sincerely and very unhappy, Mr. John M. Harlett

Ed Martin Toyota responded

Mr. John M Harlett, I would like to point out that I did listen to your concern. Before we had a chance to discuss this matter (via your email to me), you had already demanded we refund your $2500 down payment and return the vehicle. If this was the day-after your sale, that would be an option I would have considered. However, 2500 miles and 6+ weeks later, that’s a request that could not be accommodated. The vehicle has already been titled and driven and is a used car at this point. Therefore, it would not qualify for as a new car for interest rates or leasing, not to mention, someone would rightfully expect a proportionate discount for being a used vehicle. If this concern was related to a vehicle deemed a lemon, I would have expressed some kind of goodwill with Toyota to the cause. To anyone reading this, this concern originated by a nail (that you drove over). The conversation went south when you demanded to me what to-do, and furthermore even threated legal action, should I not comply. At the end of the day, I did not appreciate being bullied or talked down to. Could I have handled this better, yes, I would admit to that, but as any reasonable person can assimilate from this conversation, most can assume that the truth is typically in the middle, and your response is one sided and exaggerated. I have apologized for my service advisor putting air in your tire and not catching the nail. That’s where I am at with this argument. Have a good day. Eric Sarjeant, GM, Ed Martin Toyota

Customer stated they would leave negative review if I did conform to demands outlined in this email. Readers of this review can digest this review and likely come to the conclusion that the truth is somewhere in the middle. I chose to not negotiate with reviewer due to demands based “do this or I will do that” mentality. Ed Martin stands by our work 100% of the time. In this case, customer states we damaged center cap on wheel but didn’t notice it for 32-days after vehicle was returned to customer. Also, customer demanded free lifetime tire rotations, which we do offer customers who buy replacement sets of tires from us. This customer bought two tires from us and assumed it would be free rotations for life, which is not the case. However, I still honored the rotation and a courtesy for the misunderstanding. Without the demand of the bad review, I would have absolutely goodwilled the center cap based on speculation, but it didn’t feel right with an ultimatum.

Ed Martin Toyota responded

I apologize for the misinformation on the appointment scheduling. We always prefer to have a vehicle dropped off rather than waiting on an extensive diagnosis. Also, the advisor was incorrect if he told you that the techs did not come in until 8:00. Our certified technician worked on your vehicle within 10 minutes after the write-up. I have spoken to these employees and clarified these issues with them. If you can drop the vehicle off and let us keep it for a day or two, we would be happy to drive the vehicle further and see if we can duplicate your issue. Thank you, Jerd Cameron - Service Manager

I would like my $170 refunded and take it another reputable dealer. Thank you

baldwinisaac41 responded

The service writer also told my wife " I don't know why they let you schedule this to wait on it especially at 7:15 since our transmission tech doesn't get here till 8;00. Also she should expect to take 2.5 hours total to look at it. So your timeline doesn't add up or your people in the service department lie through their teeth to cover their A$$. I'm not asking for the world. I understand the concern may have not happened on the first test drive that's why we tried to drop off the vehicle. I expected to have to wait 2-3 weeks for an appointment. I expected to drop the vehicle off for multiple days to have it diagnosed. I expected someone to actually take the time to look at the concern. Your team failed at every turn. I expect the $170 to be refunded.

I am happy to hear that even though you have a cylinder with scarred walls and low compression, they were able to get you a temporary repair.

Actually, I had it verified that there was no scarring or low compression. Why continue to lie about it, rather than address the true issue?

So this wasnt a mistake but an actual attempt to defraud me?
