Shottenkirk Desert Lexus

Kyle Forma is classless and could use a training or two on how to handle customers! The guy is a xxxxxx! How in the world does that place get any customers through their doors is beyond me! I wouldn't b on how to handle customers! The guy is a xxxxxx! How in the world does that place get any customers through their doors is beyond me! I wouldn't be surprise if that place ever go belly-up! He alone is running it to the ground! NEVER AGAIN AM I GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS THIS PLACE AND WILL MAKE SURE TO SPREAD THE WORDS AROUND THAT TO STAY AWAY!!! I'm glad that they're not getting any of my hard earned money! More

They have no referral program for additional sales. If you bring them additional clients, you don’t even get a thank you. I believe I was over charged for the car, and won’t be making any further refer If you bring them additional clients, you don’t even get a thank you. I believe I was over charged for the car, and won’t be making any further referrals to be sure. I should have gone with my gut feeling. Live and learn. Don’t bother trying to live through the sales gauntlet at Lexus. Tony was my salesperson, so if you want a crappy deal see him. And watch out for Ari, the finance guy. He’ll sell you tinting at $1000, and paint protect for $2000. Fun fun fun. I even reached out to corporate. Nada. More

Online buying was quite easy. I would have liked (in retrospect) to have the window sticker faxed or emailed to me.

As I was walking toward the sales entrance, I was promptly greeted by a very personable and friendly young salesperson named David Hower. He asked detailed questions to determine which kind of vehicl promptly greeted by a very personable and friendly young salesperson named David Hower. He asked detailed questions to determine which kind of vehicle would best serve my needs. I was immediately impressed by the fact that David really LISTENS! He is clearly very enthused about selling Lexus cars, and did not have any "hidden agenda" to "up-sell" me. If you are not looking for a "pushy salesperson", be sure to ask to work with David! In so many respects, he is uniquely special and highly qualified. He introduced me to several of his team members. They all seem to enjoy working together; Shottenkirk Desert Lexus is remarkably collegial. David introduced me to a stunning, red mid-sized SUV (Model # NX350h AWD),which is new for 2022. What a beauty - with a hard to find black and tan saddle leather combination interior! It has an "EV DRIVE" which gives you up to 90 miles of driving pleasure without using a drop of gas. David methodically explained that in many ways, this is a "high-tech computer disguised as an SUV". Fortunately for me, David has an extensive IT background, and he set up most of the settings for me with lightening speed. The technology is amazing! (If only it could make dinner and do laundry - because it basically does just about everything else one would expect from a high-end luxury vehicle.) In summary, Shottenkirk Desert Lexus in Cathedral City (Palm Springs area), California is a very pleasant place to do business. The teamwork is amazing to observe, and one would be hard-pressed to finds a more knowledgeable and personable salesperson as David. Be sure to specifically request to work with him! A warning, though: David's genuine smile, enthusiasm, high energy, and kind personality will spoil you compared to any other salesperson you may have worked with elsewhere. I drove away in my new Lexus feeling extremely pleased and satisfied that I had been - and will continue to be - well served by David Hower at Shottenkirk Desert Lexus! I also want to put in a good word for finance director Julian Gonzales for a very seamless financial transaction. He explained everything to me in plain English, and was very patient and kind as well. Sincerely, M. Strickland Rancho Mirage, CA June 6, 2022 More

Needed new tires and also have car services for a long road trip. Spoke to the Serve Advisor and explained what I needed. New Tires, Oil Change and the routine serve on my 2015 Lexus RX350. (Only 69,000 mile). I was told that they had a special on the tires. I need all four so I ask if the price of the Tires included Alignment. The answer was yes…Well it wasn’t. Also asked that they check the Batterie, I was told that was routine. Well, it wasn’t. Took my car in at 7 am. By 3 pm had not heard anything so I drove over there to see what was going on. I was told they had a problem with one of the new tires and they had to find a replacement. 8 hours yea…. Finally got my car back. The deal on the tires was so bogus. Charge Mounting $64.00, 4 Tires ($236.60 = $946.40) Tire tax $7.00, Tire Disposal Fee $8.00, Fitting Kit (whatever this is (4 @ $13.55) total $54.20. Final total for 4 tires was $1,079.60 = $269.90 each (Good Year tires not Michelin’s) Then, surprise, a $239.95 fee to align the tires. They did give me a $100.00 discount for buying 4 tires. Sales Tax $78.80 for a final bill of $1,298.35 (now the tires cost $324.58 each) The Serve Advisor forgot to put on the work order that I wanted Oil Change and routine service (which he had quoted me approx. $280.00. So that was not done. So, I went to Jiffy Lube and they did the oil change in 15 min and cost $129.00. Don’t know why the Serve is so bad. When it was Desert Lexus (before Shottenkirk took over) the service was great. Guess I will not be taking my car to them again. More

They promise to fix your car and then you hear nothing from them after you drive off the lot. After a month I called back and get rude compatible people that ask you to shut up if you want to hear where t from them after you drive off the lot. After a month I called back and get rude compatible people that ask you to shut up if you want to hear where the part is or do you want them to go on with their life. I have NEVER seen such rude people in my life. I certainly reccomend staying away from this dealership . More

Great service at the point of sale but steep drop off immediately afterwards. I put $15,000 down on a new $60,000 Lexus, my first Lexus, and had the transmission fail before even getting back home. Car h immediately afterwards. I put $15,000 down on a new $60,000 Lexus, my first Lexus, and had the transmission fail before even getting back home. Car has been in the shop nearly two weeks now and requires an entirely new transmission. This is a brand new car, defective from the get go. Not only is there no alternatives offered, I can't even get text or phone calls return on a consistent and timely basis. I get that it's a crazy situation, hey I'm the one that has to deal with the consequences, but would have expected far better communication AT A MINIMUM. Never again. More
