I have been a Lexus owner for 15 years, and I currently own 4 lexus vehicles. have moved around the country quite often as a career military service member. My experience with Lexus dealerships, specifica own 4 lexus vehicles. have moved around the country quite often as a career military service member. My experience with Lexus dealerships, specifically with service departments, has always been positive. The service departments have always been helpful and responsive. I have now place 8 telephone calls to the dealership (Lexus of Birmingham) looking to speak to a service rep regarding a 2007 Lexus IS 250 clutch. Of the 8 calls, I have yet to be able to speak to anyone other than the answering service or receptionist. I have left a request after each telephone call to receive a call back from a service representative for assistance with my unique problem. My first call was placed 6 days ago as of today. During one call, I was able to convince the answering service to allow me to remain on hold while I waited for Mr. Kevin Frazier (service manager) to finish with a previous customer. While it was close to the end of the business day, according to the website's list of hours (~5:30 pm), the time of the call was indeed prior to the end of the business day. When he was complete, the answering service rep allowed me to overhear her coordinating with him to allow me to be transferred. I was transferred, and he did not answer the line. After an additional 10 minutes of holding, the dealership's phone system kicked me off, and the call was terminated automatically. I called back and spoke with a receptionist for the dealership and requested to be transferred to Mr. Frazier. My call was transferred, and I left a voice mail for him requesting a call back. No call back to date.....same as all of my other requests. To sum up my experience with this dealership's service department, the customer service is disappointing for a Lexus dealership and well below the expectations for a dealership that carries the name of a luxury automotive agency.

Please reach out to our General Manager Of Birmingham responded. "Hi, we regret to hear that you are displeased with your recent experience with us. Please reach out to our General Manager at (205) 413-8152 when you can so we can address this situation directly. Thank you." Well I did on May26th ,They transferred me to Buz Boyd voice mail box. I left my name & phone number & Today June 4th, I have not heard for Buz Boyd. P:S: I'm still waiting for Terry Lewis to call me back about the wheel locks that I don't have a key for. More
Where do we start? I bought a used Honda odyssey (2007) with 78,000 miles. I live 3 1/2 hour's away.

I leave a 1000 dollar deposit (refundable) to hold it until I can see it.. Good Thing. I want to come down the next day to check it out & drive. Internet sale's guy said " it needs to go though service before you can drive it". . safety thing.. Good thing.. He said it would take a few days (fine). I call a few days later & he tells me that it's been though service & being detailed... Good Thing. He said he was off the next day & if I could come the following day... Good Thing. Lets go back a few days, He did take a video of the van.. Good Thing. So now I drive 3 1/2 hour to the dealer. Video was good to have if you showed all the defects. first thing I notice was that the detailer needs to be fired. The second thing was right side above wind shield & rear right corner roof big paint spots missing. Not a Good Thing.. But anyway van body in good shape, check tires 2 front 2019, 1 back 2017 & the last 2013?..I can fix these problems.. Test drive was good. They took off 500.00 because of paint,(Good Thing) but had a 629.00 paper work xx. ... remember in the beginning, about had to go though service. Did the xx, drove the Van home, first thing that 2013 tire had to go.. can't remove tires, wheel locks, OK not the end of the world. Call the sales guy (voice mail), ask him to ask the service mgr. about the key, wait two days, no answer. Call again talk to sale guy, I ask him if he got my message about the wheel locks, he said NO.I asked him to check with the service guy. While I was on the phone with him, I told him that they probably don't have a key, so they had no way to check the brakes. I week later no call back. I had to top Brake fluid, power steering fluid, two brake light blubs where out & the windshield wiper blade where dry rot & falling apart.SO MUCH FOR SERVICE. P:S not sure about oil change, there was no sticker on the door or windshield when it was done last ( you know this is a Lexus dealer) More
I was in Birmingham yesterday at the Lexus of Birmingham dealership where there were suppose to have a lot of Lexus ES and RX's and after driving 4 hours to get there only one of the ES were available to lo dealership where there were suppose to have a lot of Lexus ES and RX's and after driving 4 hours to get there only one of the ES were available to look at and they had to jump start it and only two RX's available off the site and I liked one for $37,995 but they played games with my trade-in offering 4,000 below Kbb lowest price and I had to drive 4 hours back home last night getting in at 10pm. I decided it's to far to drive to play games at dealerships 4 hours away. I was met by a saleman that didn't seem to interested in my business and waited around for 3 hours to finally get help. Worse experience I've had at a dealership and was excited about becoming a Lexus owner. More
My wife and I went to test drive a used Lexus nx that was advertised on their website. After driving it, we decided to buy it. That’s when the trouble started. It took almost an hour to finally meet with advertised on their website. After driving it, we decided to buy it. That’s when the trouble started. It took almost an hour to finally meet with the finance manager. When we did, he did the usual attempt to cross sell - all declined. Then, he was condescending to my wife, until he realized we were paying down $11.5k. He gave us an exhorbenet interest rate and didn’t understand basic finance. I’ve been a banker for 25 years and was appalled at the lack of knowledge of a finance MANAGER. we were preapproved for 2% less than the rate they quoted, but they wanted to “see what they could do”. It was quickly apparent that they saw us as a sale that they could use and abuse. So, we left. I’ll be ordering a Lexus for less $, with lower miles at a lower interest rate online. No more Lexus of Birmingham. More

Worse customer service ever! I contacted Sonic, Dba Lexus of Birmingham last week to inquire about a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport that I saw online. My experience has been by far th I contacted Sonic, Dba Lexus of Birmingham last week to inquire about a 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport that I saw online. My experience has been by far the worse ever by a dealership. The initial outreach was through the online form, which I never received a reply. I followed-up with a call and was immediately transferred to a sales rep. He answered my initial questions, and I conveyed to him that I resided in Huntsville and could not make it to Birmingham until the following weekend to purchase the vehicle, due to work and other obligations. However, I did offer to make a deposit, because the Lexus was exactly what I have been in the market for. After attempting to fill out the credit form online, there was an error which did not allow me to submit the form. I Immediately called Lexus of Birmingham to speak with someone in the finance department, no one answered the phone. I called back and spoke to someone in sales again. The gentleman told me to hold while he transferred my call, but once again no one answered. Yesterday the 19th I called again to see what the issue was, and no answer again. I reached out to the sales assistant via email, since she was the only one responsible enough to engage by sending me a folder with the Carfax details and service records of the Lexus. May I also mention that the information sent by Chelsea was for the incorrect vehicle that I was interested in. My outreach was to have her find someone in finance or sales to give me a call. But of course, no reply was granted either. I’m really frustrated to find out that the car was sold on yesterday. I wanted to inform you that Lexus of Birmingham has by far the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. Typically, a follow-up is guaranteed by a commissioned salesman. Thanks, More
Terrible!! Over the past five years, we have considered and even tried to buy three different vehicles from these people. They genuinely do not care. They pres Over the past five years, we have considered and even tried to buy three different vehicles from these people. They genuinely do not care. They present the dealership in a way that screams, "it is YOUR pleasure to be here!". We have worked with two nice salespeople, both of which are no longer there. Of the three times, we ended up purchasing a BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota LandCruiser. The brand has a reputation for reliability and comfort, two things that you would find better at your local Waffle House than at this dealership. More
