I have no problem with our sales person. Have purchased multiple vehicles from him and would like to have an ongoing relationship with a dealership I can trust. Service department seems to h Have purchased multiple vehicles from him and would like to have an ongoing relationship with a dealership I can trust. Service department seems to have gone down hill the past few years. Called to make an appointment to have our Tacoma in for 30k mile service. Asked about "Works package" coupon that had been sent to me. Was told the only difference between the two was the 30k mile service included engine and cabin air filters and the price was $144 higher. I can change both air filters for about $35 so I asked for the "Works Package". I told them not to rotate the tires because they had previously, more than once, damaged my rims. I was told it would be about an hour to an hour and a half. More than two hours go by with no word about my truck. It seems underestimating wait times is the norm here. Finally my service writer Mr. McIntyre, comes to me and says he went back to the shop to find out why it was taking so long and was told they broke the oil filter housing and had to fix it. He said they had to finish filling the oil and they would be done in a few minutes. Another hour and a half goes by, I see them pull my truck into the service writers area, but my service writer is nowhere to be seen. After another half hour he comes to me and apologizes for my wait and comps the charges. He gives me a copy of the bill but no multi point inspection report which is part of the service. He gave it to me after I asked. As I approach my truck I can see a lot of dirty, oily hand prints/smudges on the hood, fender, door, and interior. They also did not remove the gooey mess from the service reminder sticker on the windshield tint, after I specifically asked for it to be removed. After another brief wait (4 hrs. total) I was released. After arriving home I review the paperwork and pop the hood to check the oil level. Oil seemed fine but they obviously did not top off the fluids as specified in the paperwork. The washer fluid for example took the half gallon I had and was still only about half full. This may seem like a small thing but it makes me wonder how much of what they say they did actually got completed. Laying under the front of the truck It was obvious only a half hearted effort was made to clean the oil mess they made and ONCE AGAIN, FOR THE 3RD TIME, FAILED TO SECURE THE SKID PLATE UNDER THE MOTOR! IT'S 4 BOLTS THAT HOLD A 25-35 POUND PEICE OF STEEL TO THE TRUCK! HOW MUCH DAMAGE COULD THAT DO IF IT FELL OFF ON THE HIGHWAY! Fixed it myself, because the last time it was in to have 2 missing skid plate bolts installed it took an hour and a half, (with an appointment), and being told it would take 10-15 minutes. Multiple calls/messages including to the service manager, Alex Gardiner, have gone unanswered with no response. More

First Time at Ed Martin Luis Garcia, was fantastic to work with—friendly, understanding, and knowledgeable about the issues. He even offered to drive me home due to how long the service was taking. I’d h work with—friendly, understanding, and knowledgeable about the issues. He even offered to drive me home due to how long the service was taking. I’d happily work with him again, and he definitely deserves a raise. I didn't have the best service experience initially and felt that my car was driving worse than when I brought it in. After explaining my issues Ed Martin Toyota immediately reached out to me to make things right. They went above and beyond to get my vehicle back in the next day and resolve the issues with no cost to me. Really friendly, good people work there and I will use them again. Thanks for resolving my issues! More
Do not take your car there for service! Explained my situation with Eric Sargeant the general manger accused me of lying. I was not explained the total cost of a new tire and oil changed. Explained my situation with Eric Sargeant the general manger accused me of lying. I was not explained the total cost of a new tire and oil changed. He told me everyone knows there are additional cost other than just the tire. Also the Toyota emblem was missing on the alloy wheel that they mounted and balanced with a new tire. Two policeman and security officer put the spare on for me and placed the flat tire with alloy rim in my trunk with the Toyota emblem on wheel. Eric would not even offer to look for it. He brought up my car was 10 years old. He was very rude. More

I was kept informed of part availability and estimated time it would take to complete repairs. Also had the hard top tonneau cover installed here. I've had no issues with the vehicle after the various repairs / maintenance done so far. The service center seems to get a lot of business, so the only drawback I've noticed is that it can be busy / take a bit longer than other options, but having the better quality care of the vehicle is well worth it in my opinion. Also, the waiting area is very nice if you decide to wait. I've interacted with several staff members not listed so I'll include their names here as well: Anthony, Nick, and Collin. More
All of my experience with Ed Martin Toyota has been very positive! Mostly with regular maintenance visits. James Beveridge is my personal service advisor! positive! Mostly with regular maintenance visits. James Beveridge is my personal service advisor! More
Service agent: James Beveridge Highly unprofessional. Horrible attitude. Kept interrupting us and cutting us off. Rolled his eyes at us and acted as if asking for clarification for the service he suggest Horrible attitude. Kept interrupting us and cutting us off. Rolled his eyes at us and acted as if asking for clarification for the service he suggested was bothersome to him. When asked about a tire rotation he got incredible saracastic, using phrases like "I don't know, I can't control the roads." as a response. Would give zero stars if that was possible. Maybe he was having a bad day and we were at the receiving end of it, but he embarrassed us by raising his voice at us. Other employees and customers looked embarrassed are our behalf. Possibly the most condescending service agent we've ever spoken to. After all of the attitude, he gave us a coupon for the oil change itself, however ruined that amount of kindness by pinning the bad experience on us by saying "Sometimes...we all need a little bit of help."

Fred Kuo provided excellent customer service when I came in for an oil change and explained everything well! Much better than most salesmen. Can tell he enjoys his job and enjoys keeping customers happy. Wo in for an oil change and explained everything well! Much better than most salesmen.

This service department is why people hate car dealerships. My vehicle is still under 5 year/60k mile warranty and since they couldn't verify my concern in 30 minutes they charged us $170. When we dealerships. My vehicle is still under 5 year/60k mile warranty and since they couldn't verify my concern in 30 minutes they charged us $170. When we called we tried to schedule to drop our car off on a Saturday so they could look at it during the week. They didn't want us to do that, but instead let my wife schedule a transmission concern for 7:15 in the morning...techs do not get there until 8. Around 8:30 they then tell my wife they can't duplicate the concern and it is $170....First off. I work as a Senior Master technician at a Ford dealership. In no circumstance do we ever charge a customer for a no problem found, let alone for a transmission concern that would still be under 5 years 60k factory powertrain warranty. Not only that they said there was "no codes present"....Incase the technician and service manger don't know transmission codes are rare due to the fault has to be seen twice in consecutive drive cycles. Did they clear adaptive tables for the transmission or reset KAM to see if the transmission strategy was trying to cover up and issue "which they will" Nope they blamed it on snow tires....what a joke.... If this is how ED Martin does business then I will never come back. More
