Lexus of Tampa Bay - Service Center

After dealing with how other Lexus dealerships handle logistics, this one has me a bit perplexed. First, I tried to be diligent and when I first got a job transfer to Tampa I visited the service departme logistics, this one has me a bit perplexed. First, I tried to be diligent and when I first got a job transfer to Tampa I visited the service department on my way to work to see how the shuttle service worked there. I asked the gentleman what time the shuttle driver started, and he said 9 am. I said ok well I can’t drop off my car before work, perhaps I could bring it on my break and then just get a shuttle here from work at the end of the day. He said that would work out great. I scheduled service on 9/18 to get serviced and when I arrived during my lunch break I was told the shuttle driver called in sick. When I asked how this works the tech just shrugged, so I left. When I returned to work, I scheduled another appointment for 9/24. In the notes I specified that I would need the shuttle from the dealership to my work during my break, and a shuttle back from my work at about 5:20 to get to the dealership. When I called the dealership this morning to find out if the shuttle driver called in sick or not, I was informed that the driver’s hours are between 9 and 4. Here is where I begin to be perplexed. How do I get my car serviced on a work day? I work from 8:15 to 5:15. I know the dealership doesn’t make accommodations for a loaner for every type of service, so what else do I do? Do I have to pay for a ride service? Also, what is the point of the comment box if no one is going to review the info to see if what I need is even possible? So, not knowing how to deal with this I cancel my appointment with the young lady who gave me the shuttle driver’s hours. So, during my break on the same day, I call to speak to a service manager to give feedback. He then graciously offers a loaner that will be set aside if I can come up there. So, I go. I pull up to the drive and tell an attendant what’s going on, mind you I’m on break and made them aware my time was very limited. My initial service advisor was busy and I waited 20 minutes for them to find one. By the time one finally came out, I knew getting loaner paperwork done and retuning to work on time were not both going to happen, so I chose my job and left again with my vehicle unserviced. I wish there was information when booking the appointment showing what transportation offerings are available and when. Everyone I have spoken with has been nice and respectful, just not useful. For a service department of such a respected brand, I have yet to see near the level of service I have received at other dealerships. I have yet to actually speak for more than 5 seconds to an actual advisor. I will give credit to the service manger for trying, but the support staff just couldn’t work it out. I’ll update once I actually have a service experience here, but so far there’s been none to experience. More

On Monday, after my visit, the tire pressure light came on. One call and he had a serviceman come to my house and fix the car. I am so busy that those two things saved me hours. I live in Brandon and it is a trip. I can’t say enough about my service from Scott. More

Maybe it's because I'm used to the exceptional service from Johnson Lexus in NC, but the service I got at Lexus of Tampa Bay was abysmal: 1) got suggested repairs worth $14k for my 2011 IS250 in immaculat from Johnson Lexus in NC, but the service I got at Lexus of Tampa Bay was abysmal: 1) got suggested repairs worth $14k for my 2011 IS250 in immaculate condition (no wonder why people are buying Teslas and avoiding these repair expenses) 2) my service specialist (David) didn't call me to let me now that my car was ready 3) It took me 1 hour to find someone on the phone from the service department to see if my car was ready - and of course it was, just no one cared to notify me (FYI this is all happening on a Friday at 6:30pm - are you going to leave me without a car for all weekend for no reason?)
