Rudy Luther Toyota - Service Center

Genuine Caring Salesperson It was happenstance that I met Eric Swenson last Wed night. I was waiting to hear the results of the diagnostic test on my '97 Rav when Eric walked by It was happenstance that I met Eric Swenson last Wed night. I was waiting to hear the results of the diagnostic test on my '97 Rav when Eric walked by and asked about the sling I was wearing. We got to chatting and when the conversation turned to cars any my love for my Rav he, in a concerned way talked with my about the safety of my SUV. I had not thought about my car having only two airbags but I had known it was top heavy which isn't safe in strong wind conditions. I found myself sitting in a 2015 Rav and told Eric it was too big for my needs now. Then he took me for a ride in a 2011 after showing me that it was most like the 97 in size. The point is, he showed such understanding and empathy about my dilemma whether I keep fixing my Rav or buy a different car. In the end I decided to fix my Rav one more time which gives me time to look seriously for a different car. Looking back on the situation I was so impressed with Eric and how at no time did I feel pressure ~ ~ all I felt is his concern for me to find a solution and for my safety. He is an excellent salesperson and I would seek him out to help me with my next purchase. More

Kowledgeable and honest service My relationship with Rudy Luther Toyota at Golden Valley started in year 2000 immediately after I moved family to Minnesota. I have 2 vehicles, 1998 My relationship with Rudy Luther Toyota at Golden Valley started in year 2000 immediately after I moved family to Minnesota. I have 2 vehicles, 1998 Camry and 2002 Sienna. I am the only owner. My cars have been serviced at this location since then. Jeremy is my favorite service guy. He is very knowledgeable about my cars. He always double check my service records to make sure there is no unnecessary service items. His service is prompt. His quote is very reasonable and made you smile. He also made a list of items need to be attended to in the future so I can plan financially and save time. His peer Duane offers to assist me when Jeremy is occupied. That is team work. I just love those guys. I just purchased a Corolla this weekend. I absolutely will ask Jeremy and Duane to service my 3rd car. More

I bought my 2012 Camry at Rudy Luther Toyota in April of 2012. Today (3-7-14) I brought it back to this dealer to have them check a malfunctioning seat belt. The car has only 19,529 miles on it. The problem 2012. Today (3-7-14) I brought it back to this dealer to have them check a malfunctioning seat belt. The car has only 19,529 miles on it. The problem with the seat belt is that it intermittently won't pull out. The "advisor", Matthew tried to pull the seat belt out, and since it failed the first time he tried it, he tried it again, turning it to a different angle. This second time it worked fine. He tried to convince me that changing the angle of it made a difference. It should pull out EVERY TIME at any angle! He’s an idiot! Even though he proved that it will fail to pull out, he refused to fix the problem for me. He said Toyota wouldn’t approve the repair. Then they should have fixed it at the expense of the dealer! What if I had an accident and my passenger was injured because he/she couldn’t pull the seat belt out? He said that Toyota would have no liability because my passenger could sit somewhere else where there is a working seat belt. What a MORON! I bought a 5 passenger car, not a 4 passenger. I wonder how he would like telling his passenger to sit somewhere else because that seat belt doesn’t work right. I won’t trust this dealership to service my car anymore, knowing that they employ idiots to work in the service department! More

Purchased new auto 2012 and immediately had service issue that was repaired, and in the process of repairing this something else was damaged. This collateral damage was misdiagnosed and took 2-3 return trip that was repaired, and in the process of repairing this something else was damaged. This collateral damage was misdiagnosed and took 2-3 return trips to correct, and something else was damaged during this repair of the damage caused during repair. Now nearly 2yrs into owning the vehicle the repair of the issue that was caused while repairing an issue that was caused while repairing the original issue is still not fixed. All this after being told by Luther service that I am "all set" after each return trip. Really poor customer service and makes me never want to buy a Toyota, even though I like the car. I guess my advice is just don't buy from Luther so you don't have to deal with Luther service. More

Rudy Luther Toyota makes the scheduling process seemingly effortless. Doug and the service team had my truck services and washed all in the time promised, and the courtesy to call me when completed was simp effortless. Doug and the service team had my truck services and washed all in the time promised, and the courtesy to call me when completed was simply outstanding. I've been a happy customer for many years - and the team at Rudy Luther Toyota really puts that adage about not taking your car to a dealer for service to rest. Thank you Doug and the service team for another outstanding job! More

Staff was attentive and friendly. They quoted us a cap price at the beginning. The facilities were very nice with many beverages and pastries.

I took our Avalon in for routine oil change this morning. Not a smile or even saying hello upon checking in the vehicle. He told me it would be $30.00 extra in addition to oil change if I wanted a mechanic Not a smile or even saying hello upon checking in the vehicle. He told me it would be $30.00 extra in addition to oil change if I wanted a mechanic to look into the condition of the brake - isn't this usually checked as a part of the routine/courtesy inspection? I thought they always check out the fluids, battery condition, burnt light bulbs etc. without charging any extra fee for the customers. I said no to this of course. After the service was completed, no 'thank you' nor 'have a good day' statements were observed. Another strike here - is it that difficult for this guy to saying what other service advisors are saying to their customers in the waiting room? My wife stopped by to seeing how it was going about half-an hour after I checked in for service. She drove into the garage asking to see if anyone could quick-check the tire pressure of her vehicle (without any appointment at that time). Mia immediately came up to her, with great smiles and saying friendly hello to her (as my wife told me later how pleasantly she was greeted!). She arranged one of the advisors on spot to inspect the tires and even offered to give my wife's car a complementary carwash! My wife and I have been a long time Toyota owners for years - one of our vehicles has been on the road for fourteen years now. We have always been loyal to Toyota and will most likely to stick with it. The sad thing is about the dealership is we as customers have to know who we can expect to get a decent and courteous customer service there. Would we return there in the future? - maybe - if we can be convinced we can expect the sincere and courteous service from staff like Mia, definitely yes. I think Mia deserves a promo and could actually teach a few lessons to this service advisor who could use some lessons on manners, courtesy and better professionalism. We love Toyota's, and most part like the dealership for many aspects. We sincerely wish the dealership continuous success also. Managers and supervisors - please look into and see how your employees are treating their customers very carefully. We would like to seeing more Mia type employees there at all levels, and honestly, who wouldn't appreciate a simple hello with pleasant smiles? More

I pretty much love everything about this dealership, except a single thing that is just maddening. They will, rather consistently, leave your car unlocked on their lot when you bring it in for service. except a single thing that is just maddening. They will, rather consistently, leave your car unlocked on their lot when you bring it in for service. This has been going on for me for 8 years, since I bought the first car there. I have complained about it rather consistently. I like the dealership and I love the people and they do good work, they just can't figure out this Valet thing. If it is because I only leave the key and not the key fob, that isn't an excuse. I don't leave the key fob, because the one time I did leave it with an auto repair place (not this one) it didn't come back and I had to go through the trouble of getting it replaced, so I won't do it again. Here was my week with Rudy Luther Toyota, they almost made it. Tuesday, I came in with the corolla for an oil change, took a little longer than I expected, but that is ok. Went out to the lot to get in my car, it was locked, HOORAY. Wednesday night, I dropped off the scion XB for a 100,000 Mile service. I told Kong 3 times I wanted the car locked on the lot as I was going to leave it there overnight. He got that taken care of, thank you very much! We might be on to something! Thursday morning, I came in before work and picked up the scion XB (like I said, it was locked) and left my Sienna's Key in the drop box for an oil change. I put on the envelope that I would not come for my car until 7pm. I was called at noon informing me that it was 'ready'. On my way home from work (about 4pm), I stopped by to pay for both the work on the scion XB and the Sienna and planned to pick the Sienna up around 7pm when I could get someone to give me a ride there. Immediately, i went to the sienna before going in to pay. Yup, unlocked. So, two out of three isn't bad? Here's the point. I have to go through my car, top to bottom and remove all garage door openers and anything even remotely of value. I also have to pull anything from the glove box and trunk that has my name and address or anything else on it because I can't be sure that when my vehichle is parked out on their lot, that it will be locked. It is a PITA. I was hopeful, I was bringing all three cars in over three days. I know they have worked on this, I figured maybe they had beaten the issue, but alas, they have not. So, note to criminals, if you want free access to unlocked cars with garage door openers etc, go check out the service lot at Rudy Luther Toyota. I am guessing around 33% of them will be unlocked. Many will have insurance cards with names and addresses in the glove boxes. Who knows what else you may find. For 8 years, the first thing I have done when returning to pick up my car is go to see if it has been locked. I have given positive reviews when it is locked, negative when it has been unlocked. This is my first time reviewing them on 'dealerrater' as they seem to have recently switched to it. I would be immensely happy if this issue would go away. If they leave my car, it should be locked, I don't care how long they expect it to be unattended. 5 seconds, 5 minutes or 5 hours, lock it, please. More

I bought and have serviced my 2009 Corolla at this dealership. I have always been treated with friendliness and respect. My questions have always been answered and explained. I have never had the fe dealership. I have always been treated with friendliness and respect. My questions have always been answered and explained. I have never had the feeling they were trying to sell me service I do not need. (They have even skipped replacing certain filters if not needed at maintenance checks.) This was after my experience in Florida last winter where a dealership tried to pressure me into replacing 3 filters during an oil change, all of which I was told were still OK when I returned to Rudy Luther Toyota. Today's service was just an oil change, which was handled quickly and courteously as usual. More
