Herb Chambers Toyota of Boston

Regarding an inspection performed by Gerar Alamo. We’ve been a customer here for over four years. We bought our Toyota from this dealership and have consistently returned for maintenance, service, We’ve been a customer here for over four years. We bought our Toyota from this dealership and have consistently returned for maintenance, service, and annual inspections. This place has always been a top choice for us, partly because of the ToyotaCare Pre-Paid Maintenance plan and partly because of the convenience of the Boston location. Both service advisors, Tereza and Sean, have always been very helpful and welcoming. However, the quality of work performed by Gerar Alamo during our recent visit raises a great deal of concern about the quality of work, safety, and whether the work meets the state inspection requirements. The work was done in a very haphazard way. It got to the point where we’re not even sure whether the printed service sheets accurately reflect what was actually checked, or if boxes were simply being marked off to get the job done quickly. • The next service date/mileage sticker placed on our windshield is illegible. If such next appointment reminder is unnecessary, then it should be discarded. However, the illegible date and mileage causes confusion and is extremely misleading for a layman driver. We assume most customers here are regular drivers (not mechanics), therefore, would be confused and misled by this written mileage and date just as we are. This illegible reminder sticker was placed just to check a box, not to remind the driver. This is quite sloppy. • The video summary sent to us was incomprehensible — the tech was mumbling the entire time. It was obvious he only recorded the video because he was required to do so. Herb Chambers management should require him to do these videos with actual effort, not just do it to just get it done. There’s a big difference. • The tires were left at 32 PSI and were not topped up. It appears that he only inflates tires when they fall below the minimum functional pressure. This is unacceptable. • And equally concerning: the annual inspection sticker (which stays on the windshield for a full year) was applied crooked, and the old adhesive residue from last year’s sticker wasn’t even removed. Aligning the sticker would’ve taken three seconds to do it properly. This personnel did not even have enough care for this task. To make sure we weren’t overreacting, we looked at roughly 45 other cars in our condo building’s garage and multiple cars on the street throughout the week, likely totaling 500 cars. Not a single car had a crooked inspection sticker or leftover residue. Only ours — and perhaps others inspected by Gerar Alamo. This should not happen at a professional service center, especially one under the Herb Chambers name. Management really needs to retrain the personnel responsible. This level of sloppy work reflects poorly on the dealership’s overall reputation. We went back and spent nearly two hours trying to fix the sloppy work performed and was disappointed to find out that the haphazardly placed inspection sticker could not be fixed. This will remain crooked for the next 12 months all because of Gerar Alamo‘s sloppiness. More concerning, the pattern of sloppy work describes above likely suggest a sloppy careless state inspection performed — just to complete the task. This raises safety concerns and management should do something about this. This review applies to the inspection performed by Gerar Alamo, assuming he was the one who handled all of the above. We look forward to hearing how management plans to address this. More

Great service. Tereza was very helpful and our technician got our really old beat up Sienna minivan with almost 240,000 miles back on the road for us. I’d recommend Tereza was very helpful and our technician got our really old beat up Sienna minivan with almost 240,000 miles back on the road for us. I’d recommend this place for service to everyone More
