The service personnel was friendly and quick to provide shuttle service when dropping off our 07 Sequoia for warranty work. After assessing the problem, we were initially told that the DVD player that was More

I am terribly sorry you had a negative experience in our service department. I have been told that both our Service Manager Robbie Cortis, and our General Manager Paul Whatley, both have contacted you to discuss your concerns more thoroughly. I do hope they were able to restore some faith, if not in our dealership, at least in the Toyota franchise as a whole. Doing a little investigative work of my own, it seems Toyota of Orangeburg initially provided our service department with inaccurate information regarding the installation of your Sequoia's DVD player. In all fairness, Toyota of Orangeburg did contact us immediately the following day with updated information regarding this accessory. Unfortunately, by this time we had already relayed warranty details to you based on the inaccurate information we had initially received. That being said, the fact of the matter is you left our dealership dissatisfied. At the very least, I hope you can take away that our entire team is truly apologetic for this breakdown in communication and are still open and willing to assist you with the continued service of your vehicles. No matter what your decision, I hope you the best and here's looking to many miles ahead! - Ryan Bolz

Hi there, Unfortunately I could not reach you directly to get more details on your visit, but I wanted you to know your feedback has been heard. I have made your review known to our General Manager and General Sales Manager, and your concerns were addressed at a recent sales meeting. I would like to think no one at our dealership would ever be so brazen as to neglect our standards for customer service. However, I cannot dismiss that this may have been the case. For the time being, all sales staff have been reminded the importance of our policies and the proper etiquette in working with all our customers. I would like to act further, though I will need a bit more information regarding your visit. If you ever have an opportunity, please contact me directly. My phone number is 843-818-6312 and I can be reached via email, ryan@genereed.com. Here's looking to many miles ahead! -Ryan Bolz

Hi Matthew, Thanks for reaching out and contacting me. Our General Manager, Paul Whatley, has personally addressed your experience with all involved sales associates and his message was undoubtedly heard. We are a customer service oriented industry and every customer matters, whether you buy from us or not. We cannot always tell how you feel about your visit, and I am glad you took the time to tell us directly here on DealerRater. Sometimes we may drop the ball, but I'm proud to say we learn from our mistakes and take action to improve the quality of customer service we provide. I assure you, your experience has been taken to heart by all our sales staff. Enjoy your Nissan! And when you are ready to look for that next vehicle, feel free to contact me directly. I guarantee you will find Gene Reed Toyota a better place to purchase your next ride. Here's looking to many miles ahead, - Ryan Bolz

Hi Ben, Thank you for speaking with me via DealerRater and over the phone. A referral check for your parents is in the mail and I think we've managed to address your concerns. Again, I apologize for the delay in getting a check sent out sooner. In the midst of employees coming and going we dropped the ball in effectively communicating with you and even with each other! As per your feedback, we have put into place a process that ensures customers of past employees will be properly assigned to team leaders for review and followup. Additionally, we now have an email distribution list that notifies all managers of employment changes. Thank you again for reaching out and sharing your experience! I think we are now better prepared to prevent such mishaps in the future! Thanks Ben! Here's looking to many miles ahead! -Ryan Bolz

Hi there! Thanks for the positive feedback of our sales and service guys! I'm sorry to hear you had some car troubles over your vacation, as that can always be a bit trying. I found myself in a similar situation recently. I have a 2000 Xterra that had several adventures in my college days up in the Appalachian mountains. She's about on her last leg, and every Nissan dealer I've taken her to has given me the run-around. Finally, I took her here to Gene Reed Toyota and for the first I received an honest, forward evaluation of my vehicle. It would be easy to argue that my working here pulls some weight, and I can admit that. But all that aside, the difference is that the service guys here are likeable, honest and pretty frank about your vehicle maintenance. I'm glad to see others are finding similar experiences! Here's looking to many miles ahead! -Ryan
