Hello, We encourage feedback from our customers based on their experiences in our dealership and interaction with our Teams. While we strive to provide the best experience possible, we know that there may be times when we fall short of the mark. This, however, was not one of those times. When you asked us to complete rear brake work on your high-mileage SUV, you were quoted a price and approved it. After one of our master diagnostic technicians examined your vehicle, he recommended replacing the rear shocks because one had already lost all its fluid. Likewise, the front brakes, rotors, and shims needed replacement. Prior to work commencing, our service adviser phoned you and quoted the total cost of parts and labor to complete all maintenance, which you approved. If you were dissatisfied with the costs, you could have declined any or all maintenance. We appreciate the time you took to review your experience with us across multiple platforms. We only wish that you had added that we were up-front about the charges and that you approved them. Please contact Sandra Pomeraning, Customer Relations Manager at (513) 385-1800, ext. 8311, to continue this conversation. Thank you.

Joseph Toyota has responded to at least one of my reviews criticizing them for charging $2246.84 to replace the front and rear brake pads and rotors, along with the rear shock absorbers(a $119.64 set). Any mechanics out there reading this will be laughing at my ‘expense’ and I probably deserve it. Interestingly, Joseph Toyota’s response to my complaint of being charged $1400 for the labor portion of this repair, was simply that I authorized the work; so being overcharged at least $600 relative to all industry standard pricing for this job was my fault for not shopping around for a better price before letting them do it. Can’t argue with the facts there. In the 40 some years I have owned Toyota cars and had plenty of dealer service work done, I have never been charged more than a couple of hundred dollars over private shop rates for the same jobs, and I accept that difference as a choice to support them and get Toyota brand parts. An automobile dealer can choose to create profits by charging fair prices for quality parts and services which then creates return business for them through satisfied customers. A dealer can also take advantage of people who don’t know or care about normal pricing for services and in essence take a sucker’s money, thereby needing fewer customers for the same level of profits. That appears to be the Joseph Toyota way. Of course, as an ordinary consumer, being taken advantage of can happen to anyone and that’s a normal part of life. But please help friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers who own Toyotas and live in the Cincinnati area avoid being ripped of by this dealership by sharing this message to not continue to support an automobile dealership who charges simply outrageous service prices. Thanks.
