This was my first experience in buying a car and to say I was stressed would be an understatement. Mr. Jones walked up as soon as I drove up and shook my hand and I felt like I had met an old friend. I tol was stressed would be an understatement. Mr. Jones walked up as soon as I drove up and shook my hand and I felt like I had met an old friend. I told him what I wanted in a car, what kind of trips I take, etc. We looked at several cars and you did not have the exact car, but he said he could get it in the next day. I absolutely love the car and Mr. Jones and Mr. Calhoun were both very helpful in the whole transaction. My whole experience was positive and I tell everyone about it. Every person that sees the car is impressed. I can't thank Mr. Jones enough for all his help and kindness in buying this car, and if I was a teacher, his grade would be an A+. Thank you again for a positive buying experience. More

About 18 months ago I moved to Birmingham and had unexpected car problems. However, I was fortunate to receive assistance at Hoover Toyota from Brandon Carver and Adam Cleckler, who were profession unexpected car problems. However, I was fortunate to receive assistance at Hoover Toyota from Brandon Carver and Adam Cleckler, who were professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Since then, I continue to go to Hoover Toyota for routine maintenance because they continue to provide exceptional service that I can trust. I have dealt with my share of service departments where I come in for a routine oil change and then the next thing I hear is “while we were looking at your car we noticed …” or have been quoted prices that are twice when compared to other companies within the community. As a physician, my days off are limited and therefore time is priceless. I would definitely recommend the service department at Hoover Toyota because they continue to provide me with outstanding service, accurate timing (30 minutes MEANS 30 minutes), and honest feedback from a friendly staff.

We are new to Birmingham & just purchased a Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with sport upgrade package & entune/navigation. We ordered it from Newnan Toyota in GA. Hoover Toyota would not respond to our price req Tacoma 4X4 with sport upgrade package & entune/navigation. We ordered it from Newnan Toyota in GA. Hoover Toyota would not respond to our price requests & were very vague. When visiting the dealership, we were never acknowledged & had to request assistance each time. Hoover Toyota is 5 miles from our home but we drove 200 miles to get our truck. It wasn't in stock at either dealer & we had to order it. We save $3000 going to Newnan! Price quote was quick & upfront. Experience at Newnan was excellent. More

I brought my car in for an electrical problem. My low-beam headlights did not work on Tuesday, but my high-beams did. Both low and high-beams worked on Wednesday. On Thursday, neither the low nor hig low-beam headlights did not work on Tuesday, but my high-beams did. Both low and high-beams worked on Wednesday. On Thursday, neither the low nor high-beams worked. Neither worked on Friday when I brought it to the service department. I explained all of the above to the individual who took my car in. He stated they would test the electrical system. On Saturday, a different "handler" called. He said the headlights were blown and that they had installed new bulbs ($30 each, and $60 of labor, for $120 headlights -- wow). I didn't think the problem had been the bulbs, and I knew that was darn expensive for new headlights, but it sounded a heckuva lot cheaper than an electrical problem, so I put my concerns aside. I shouldn't have put my concerns aside. The following Thursday, the car died without warning at a busy intersection. It wouldn't re-start; I had no lights; and no power-anything. I spoke to the service person who initially took the car in. He tacitly admitted that an electrical test had not been done, as I'd requested. I said, you guys saw a girl come in, and figured I didn't know what I was talking about. He didn't deny it. I reviewed my receipt and saw he had summarized the problem as the headlights not working (as opposed to working intermittently) and that he did not request an electrical test. Then, I asked to speak to the manager. He put me on hold while he went to find the manager. Then, THE SAME GUY returned to the phone and said, "I'm the manager." I asked, and he had not been promoted in the past five minutes. He was an "assistant service manager" (I'm sure they all are). I asked him again if an electrical test had been performed. He hemmed and hawed and said if they couldn't recreate the problem, they couldn't do the test. Other than saying, "bring it back in," he made no effort to apologize or make things right. I always thought the dealership was a pricier but quicker alternative to the local shops, and that they'd be best for this job because of specialized diagnostic equipment. None of that matters when you don't take the time to do the job right and you don't own up to your mistakes. More

They just screwed me up completely. It took them three days to do a 60K service. That was ridiculous. When I brought a car on Saturday morning they told me it was going to be 4 hours job. At 5.00PM Adam days to do a 60K service. That was ridiculous. When I brought a car on Saturday morning they told me it was going to be 4 hours job. At 5.00PM Adam called me and said the car was not ready. That was the first time I got disappointed though I did drop by anyway to make sure the car would be fixed on Monday. And he promised me that. Can you imagine me frustration when after work in Monday evening I came to the service to find that my car had not been even started? And again guys explained that they had been slammed by a number of customers and my service had been put on hold since this supposed to be four hour job. This time it was Brandon who promised me that the car would be done tomorrow (Tuesday) he would drive up it to my address at my convenience. Also he offered 50% discount for the service which I thought would be fair enough. Now Laugh. I called them around 1.00PM and I was transferred to ADAM. He asked when I want to get the car. I told around 5.00PM he said that impossible since they would close at 5.00 and a driver had to come back to garage by this time. In nutshall I got the car at 2.00PM at the peak of my business so I had to find someone to fill in while I was take care of the car. I soaked under the rain because they brought the car when it was dogs and cats outside. And they charged me entire sum! Now I wondering why it took so long to service my car if on Tuesday they left a message that the car was ready at 9.30? It was obviously less than 4 hours they had claimed they need to do the job. Should I be concerned with the quality of the service? More

Does not care about the customer at all - Hoover Toyota Service Dept may smile while they greet you or ask how you are, but their service management is piss poor no matter if they smile or not... Believe m Service Dept may smile while they greet you or ask how you are, but their service management is piss poor no matter if they smile or not... Believe me, I will never have any of my vehicles worked on at this place ever again. They mounted a set of used tires on a set of used wheels for my Tundra. Wheels & tires both in excellent condition, I was so excited! Well, after I had a blowout in the middle of nowhere on the way to a Destin vacation and $500 later, both the tow company & Sears (where I went to replace the tire) told me to take the tire back up to whoever did the work and show the service managers what kind of shoddy work was done and they may help me out... So, I took their advice. I went up to the service station and politely addressed the issue b/c at this point there was no reason to be upset.. The damage was done, fixed, and people make mistakes - it happens... One manager after another came and not only listened to my story but was also shown before & after photos and the wheel and tire itself and what had happened. Everyone was in agreement that the tire was mis-mounted and had bent the steel belt inside the tire that creates a seal to the wheel in the process. They even said it had happened before... What upset me was Then the "Service Foreman" came out, took a look, and told me SORRY that was a MANUFACTURERS DEFECT and I would have to call them and walked away along with every other manager there... I was blown away!! This was such a clear act of customer neglect - It was unreal! I had all the evidence in the world to show exactly what had happened without a doubt. After a couple words were exchanged about what I thought about their professional judgement and dodging abilities, I knew I shouldn't have gone up there and that all it would do would tick me off. So, all I want to do is share my story in hopes that this would help a couple of people save their hard earned time and money and stay away from such a business and take it elsewhere - somewhere that works hard to earn your business... Not takes your money, neglects you the customer, and hopes there are no problems so they don't have to roll it off on someone else... BAD BUSINESS ETHICS. Trust me, I'm obviously not the only one that feels this way... Ha, novel! Hope this helps... More
