I went for 15000 miles service with my Highlander. As always, the service was done in excellent, professional and courtesy way. Sylvia and Molly took care about whole process in easy and friendly manner. More

Service department was very accommodating - all work was explained ahead of time, and nothing was done without checking with me first. As I needed to wait for a part, staff drove me home, and then picked More

Hello Augustin Andujar (asapstone), Warranties (from any car manufacture) will only cover parts that are defective due to a manufacturing process. They will not cover a repair due to the fuel YOU added to the car. It is our understanding that Speedway (the place you bought the contaminated fuel) has already stated that they would take care of the repair. Should we be expecting reviews from your fake names Emily Elaine, Ryan Andrews and Gus Stone on Dealer Rater just like you did on Facebook? Sincerely, Daniel Briggs Parts and Service Director Elmhurst Toyota

asapstone responded

Wow that is a tremendous response. I'm glad to know that in addition to being a dealership that has an intent to get a money grab out of people you guys are also really passive aggressive. None of those reviews are fake. One of them is from me, one is from my fiance who also has her vehicle serviced at Elmhurst Toyota (not anymore obviously), and Ryan is a toyota tech. These are just people who I told about my poor experience and took it upon themselves to give you a negative review. But seeing as how you guys choose to respond it's pretty clear that they weren't wrong in doing so. Speedway has not told me that they will do anything as of yet but their customer service was significantly better than the three horrible trips I've had to Elmhurst Toyota. You won't have to expect anymore reviews but what you can expect is that I will take this nice response you've given me and spread it out along with my review of your horrible dealership and you can also expect that when I get the maintenance done for this vehicle from now on whether it relates to the fuel or any other maintenance it won't be done at Elmhurst Toyota. You can also count on me not ever buying a vehicle from you, I try to buy a new car every year or two but at least I know that when I go shopping next time I don't even have to look in your direction. I truly appreciate that you were able to show me the true colors of your dealership staff and I hope that your poor business practices are what eventually brings you guys down. xxxxxxxx.

This dealer cares only about the sale, and nothing more. If you are looking for transparency or an honest company with normal policies, don’t go here. :::car buying experience with Elmhurst Toyota::: More

Hello Nicole, As Tony and I have both told you, once the unit is installed they can't just remove it ...it would leave holes in the bumper covers. plus the unit is operating as designed. I'm sorry you don't like the feature, the Toyota unit would operate similar to this unit. Tony said he offered you a $200.00 refund and your said you found that insulting. I'm sorry you feel that way. Best Daniel Briggs Parts and Service Director Elmhurst Toyota.

Nikkippy responded

If you are offering $200, I would gladly take it. Let me know when I can pick up the check. However I feel compelled to note the discrepancy in your recollection vs mine. Tony “offered” $100, but not in a way that was “I’m sorry you’re not satisfied, here is a make good.”, but rather as a begrudgingly “You only spent $300 on both sensors, so we wouldn’t possibly offer anything more.” In reality we spent $1400, which required us to dig up receipts to prove since your paperwork wasn’t organized. So yes that entire situation and the lack of empathy was insulting. Additionally, you can’t deny that Corporate asked you twice to call me to resolve this, and you didn’t. That lack of respect is too hard to get past, which is why I won’t let this go. It’s a terrible product, and even if it’s operating as designed as you say, it shouldn’t be being sold to anyone.

Hello Nikki, I am happy you will "gladly take " $200 check , and I will notify you when is ready. However, I would also like to clarify, for public view facts of this unpleasant event: -you purchased brand new Toyota 4runner November 2020 -you purchased front and rear sensors, 2 weeks later(aftermarket) that will notify you when you are to close to objects around you by beeping sound. -your complaint is that front sensors are beeping when you are to close to car in front of you -per your request, we disconnected front sensors -you called corporate office, and complained about situation, requesting refund -I called you back two times, and yes, offered you $100 refund ,but than after I felt you are not happy with that, I did offer $200. Your response was "why do you wasting my time?" and hung up on me Again, I will notify you when check is ready for you to pick up. Thank you.

Nikkippy responded

I'm sorry, but my recollection of series of events and these details are very different, so I cannot agree with what you stated here. -We purchased the car in September. I’m not sure where November is coming into play. -We purchased the aftermarket products the same day we purchased the car. They were just installed two weeks later based on availability. -Our complaint is that the sensors are going off when driving down the road with nothing around us (the explanation I received was that "june bugs" fly into the sensors), which is why we are saying it's a safety hazard. And yes, they also go off when we are waiting at a red light, but nowhere near within the distance of when they should be going off (we know, since the back work perfectly, and don't go off in the same situation). -Not once did we have a chance to speak after I contacted Corporate. We tried to work with you first before calling Corporate as a courtesy. There are absolutely records that support that. -While I admit my frustration was definitely apparent on our final call, I absolutely ended the call more professionally. I do this all day long for my career, and I know how to end conflicted calls without being rude. The "testing" the service team did never took the car outside of the service garage, so you wouldn't know what we are talking about. Both my husband and I have explained this multiple times, and maintain we do not believe the sensors are functioning as intended, although your team insists otherwise. Perhaps we should have gotten our complaint in writing since it sounds like your notes are incomplete.

Hello John Drewry, Thanks for the feedback. As stated on our eBay website the blower motor resister may need an addition wiring pigtail and we listed the part number is the listing description. You failed to read the description fully. We also state very clearly on our eBay site that any part return must be in the original unmolested packaging, you returned the part with no packaging ...at all!. The claim you filed with eBay found in our favor and they returned only 1/2 of the sale price.

The salesman, Tom, intentionally hid defective safety features on the used car I purchased. I discovered the issue the next day and tried for 4 days to contact a manager to discuss it but they avoided my More
