Fred Anderson “family” plan of free oil changes is more costly than if you take it to your local service garage and pay for oil change. I purchased a 2022 tundra with 32,000 miles in January of 2024. Hav costly than if you take it to your local service garage and pay for oil change. I purchased a 2022 tundra with 32,000 miles in January of 2024. Have had the truck at their service department at least 7 times. To be part of the “family’ you must get all maintenance work done at their place, which with my tundra its every 5000 miles. If you don’t keep up with the maintenance schedule you get kicked out of the “family”. Every time I need maintenance its $500 plus dollars, or maybe $125 to put an additive in. in the 7 plus times I’ve had my truck serviced by them, I’m supposed to get the truck washed for free. Guess how many times that has happened. Zero! My first visit to their service department, I’m told I have to pay $600 for 30K maintenance service, but I purchased the truck with 32,000, instead of service acknowledging that I should get the 30K maintenance done at no charge I have to spend my time getting the sales department and service department to get me the maintenance done for free that should have been done before I purchased. I was also owed a key fob, I was told by salesman and service it because of Toyota, they are just waiting for the 2nd fob to come in. Told this every time I take into service. I call Toyota and they tell me it not them, that my truck was supplied with 2 keys fobs. For one recall I’ve had my truck into service 4 times, and the permanent fix is still not done. To fix this recall they have to drop the gas tank, which they did and left their tool on the gas tank and put it back up, called me when I get home and tell me “can you come back because mechanic let a tool in your truck.” I did go back because I knew the mechanics have to supply their own tools. Then I took it back since they got the part in, and they neglected to tell me that the tank has to be less than quarter full, so they couldn’t drop the tank. Guess I got lucky the other times I took it in. My last and final visit to Fred Anderson service department was today. my truck is telling me I need oil maintenance done, scheduled appt, service tech tells me oil change will be free even though I missed something, I guess I got my first warning, but then he see I need my spark plugs changed at 40K, tires rotated, at cost of $600. In one breath they tell you must do all schedule maintenance, but just this visit he tells me of an item I on Toyota list for 40K that cost $350, but he said he didn’t think I needed it, so the service tech can decide what is required and not required to be in the “family”. Needless to say, I walked out with no work getting done. What’s really sad is I see many customers getting taken advantage of, that don’t know better and are paying for the incredible service department that is the dealer’s money-making machine. I would NOT recommend Fred Anderson for purchasing a car/truck, being part of their “family’ will cost you more than paying for the oil change, and their service department is about getting as much money out of you with each visit. I purchased it from Fred Anderson because they had the used truck that I wanted. They are no different than all the other dealers out there, and I wish I had found out that they were different, but not the case. More
What should have been an amazing experience was fouled over their incompetence. We recently bought a used Highlander from Fred Anderson Toyota with a paint issue that was covered under a recall. They had over their incompetence. We recently bought a used Highlander from Fred Anderson Toyota with a paint issue that was covered under a recall. They had the car for a month and gave us a loaner for the time being. All good so far. The loaner had a small crack in the windshield behind the rearview mirror that went unnoticed until we got home. When we returned the vehicle they said we caused the damage. Despite telling them it was already there they created a claim on our insurance. Btw, the paint repair work was great, however they damaged our windshield. Irony. More

Been taking our car to Fred Anderson since we bought it. The last two times we brought it there they said it needed repairs/servicing that they had already done. Recently we brought it in for servicing an The last two times we brought it there they said it needed repairs/servicing that they had already done. Recently we brought it in for servicing and they said we needed to change a control arm. $1800. I brought my car to a friend of mine who is a certified Toyota technician and he said there was NOTHING wrong with it. They were trying to rip me off. Watch our for this dealership!! More

I have updated my rating from 1 star to 3 based off my most recent experience with this dealer. I have a 2022 Highlander that has had intermittent issues with the passenger side blind spot monitor since most recent experience with this dealer. I have a 2022 Highlander that has had intermittent issues with the passenger side blind spot monitor since purchase. It doesn’t work more often that it does, which is quite dangerous. It’s literally a game my wife and I play when traveling on the interstate. We guess whether the BSM will come on when we pass a vehicle. I have learned to always guess that it won’t and more often than not I'll be right. I waited until the 6 month service to have it fixed since it seemed logical to have both done at the same time. Since it didn’t fail when the service techs drove it, they won’t fix it. The service rep agreed to drive it with me along. It failed twice. Of course he tried to say that relative vehicle positioning was to blame. He refused to let me drive to show him under what conditions it fails. They are basically doubting the veracity of their customers and refusing to fix this warranty issue. It’s certainly unclear to me why they think a customer would lie about such a thing. The service rep told me that since it’s not setting a code, they have to see it fail rather than just replacing parts. My comment was: “so how is seeing it fail going to help you know what part to replace? It hasn’t set a code in 6 months of failures, so it sure isn’t going to now.” It’s intuitively obvious to me that if the sensor is not sensing a vehicle when it should, it will never set a code, since the computer has no way of knowing a BSM activation was missed. In any case, when he saw it fail, he still refused to address the issue, so the intent was never there. When I drove home from the dealership after their refusal to honor the vehicle warranty, I passed 3 vehicles and the passenger BSM didn’t come on once. I have spoken to the Toyota hotline and they have a case open to resolve the issue. We’ll see where it goes, but this incident has certainly made me realize that all Toyota dealers are not created equal. Updated on 6/27: I have raised my review from 1 star to 3 stars based on the most recent encounter. The Toyota hotline was great to work with and after two days and an escalation, the dealership customer advocate called and was quite apologetic about how I was treated. They gave the service to a special tech who deals with these type of intermittent issues. He drove the vehicle and as soon as he saw one obvious failure, he said we'll replace the sensor and go from there. They gave me a loaner car and kept the vehicle overnight to get the part and had it ready the next day. The passenger side BSM is now working properly. This is the way the problem should have been handled to start with. As it were, I had to drive the vehicle on a 1,000 mile trip in bad weather with a malfunctioning blind spot monitor. Not to mention the stress that my wife and I were put through in the process of getting this obvious warranty issue fixed. I would like to call out the customer advocate, Brian Newton, and the service rep Corey who both treated me with dignity and respect on the second service attempt. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my experience with Lonnie, one of the service reps from the first service attempt. More
