Gettel Toyota of Bradenton - Service Center

My previous review centered on the purchase experience of a Camry coming off lease. Carrie was wonderful and it was an overall pleasant experience. While I'll try not to judge a business based on one indiv a Camry coming off lease. Carrie was wonderful and it was an overall pleasant experience. While I'll try not to judge a business based on one individual my recent experience with a service rep, Briana, was far from acceptable. I called the dealership several weeks ago to arrange an oil change and get an update on the air bag recall. Briana promised to get right back to me with more information but three days later still no return call. I followed up and Briana told me that she took a few days off (her schedule indicated she'd be working). No new information was supposedly available on the recall so I asked for her direct extension and that I would call her in a couple of weeks. I did call as indicated and left a message. After no return call for another few days I went to the dealership site and requested a service appointment and planned to get any update on the recall when I arrived. Almost a week later she called me with no apology for the late response only to say she noticed I had already booked an appointment and that she had taken a vacation. When I told her I was upset that there was no return call and that no one covered for her while she was vacationing she attempted to deflect these shortcomings and implied it was my fault. She said that I could have called someone else and then went so far as to ask if I returned calls when I go on vacation. The answer is YES, when I was working I returned calls when on vacation and I also left a voicemail message with TWO additional contacts in the case of an emergency (with phone numbers and email addresses). This is a customer satisfaction business and to blame a customer for her/the dealership's shortcomings is ridiculous and incredibly poor oversight/training. Perhaps this was a back-to-back coincidence but not returning calls as promised or following up in a timely basis is totally unacceptable. More

I miss the outstanding service I received from Steve, who I was saddened to hear is no longer with Gettel. However, my first experience with David was great! I appreciated the call at the one hour mark with I was saddened to hear is no longer with Gettel. However, my first experience with David was great! I appreciated the call at the one hour mark with an update. He was kind, professional, and detailed in explaining the slight delay in the service completion on my vehicle. I would like to make a recommendation. When I drove up into the service bay, there were six employees standing around. One gentleman directed me where to park. But when I got out of my vehicle, not a single personal acknowledged me, or welcomed me, or even looked my way. Where’s the love? Where are the smiles? I did not feel welcome. It wasn’t until David came out from the building was I greeted and felt I was seen. The six were busy on their phones. Not a good image. More
