I had a 12:45 appointment for an oil change. The guy said it'd be about an hour and a half. I could tell they were busy and they always take a good hour. At an hour and a half I asked him how mu More

Guy who said he was new and didn't know how to do anything and just complained.

Jason, I'm sorry for your experience! It looks like we dropped the ball here. We'll use your feedback in our employee training to make sure it doesn't happen again. In the meantime, please contact Kyle Bond, General Manager, at 317-351-7000 to discuss further to see if there's any way we can make this right for you. Terry O'Brien

As a returning customer, I expected my buying experience to be a excellent one as previously encountered; alas, unfortunately, that was not the case. Things have changed for the worse at O'Brien. There was More

I'm sorry you weren't happy with your experience. The automotive market has changed over the years. We now use sophisticated software with algorithms that allow us to monitor the Indiana market each and every day to provide real-time, accurate vehicle pricing based on supply and demand of every new and used make, model and trim level. Our customers appreciate the transparency of our pricing, and the savings we're often able to provide compared to other dealers in the market. I'm sorry if this wasn't explained to you during your shopping process. I'll share your review with our managers to help us improve our customer experience. Terry O'Brien

Terry, thanks for taking the time to reply. Just as the automotive market has become more sophisticated in recent years the same applies to customers, who take the time to invest in educating themselves with an array of tools, which helps them negotiate deals, which are beneficial to the customer and the dealership alike. Frankly it was quite SHOCKING to see the the defensive posture of both Rich and his sales manager, Mike, in not being able to find common ground and shutting down all avenues of communication. For instance, I had a trade in worth $9,000, that never came into the discussion. I did not want the limited version, I wanted the XLE, that, too, never came into the conversation. I was putting cash down and that never came into the conversation. And I was going to finance the rest. No discussion ever occurred on any these issues. Nothing!! For seasoned veterans of the automotive industry, I have to tell you Terry, it was stunning to see both Rich and Mike not be able to handle my legitimate puchase enquiries. As a customer with an 835 credit profile, I can tell you that I will make it my business to share this experience with people who are interested to listen.

Well I paid for an oil change, there's been several times that they do not air the tires or top off the fluids. I've had to do it myself. I paid $150 for a diagnostic fee for them to take the front cover off More

Service department is excellent. I’ve been bringing my Toyota 4Runners here for almost 20 years. They never try to upsell. They’re conscientious. Friendly. Reasonably priced. Highly More

Disappointingly indifferent to anything but maximizing the next short term gain. Apathetic approach to solving problems for repeat customers. More

I have already recieved a rude and angry voicemail from the general manager of O’Brien Toyota. I guess a bad review insults him. The good news was after buying a lemon, the manager called me! The bad news it was to quote “defend his honor online”. Cool.

O'Brien Toyota responded

Mr. Webb, my voicemail was never intended to offend you. As stated in my voicemail, my goal was to clarify pricing and find a mutual resolution. Please feel free to contact me any time to discuss a resolution as you have my work phone number, mobile phone number and my email address.

Yet you continue to sling personal information and incorrect and misleading information on Google reviews. Anyone is free to follow that mess and the victim blaming you do there that is hard to swallow with the photos attached.
