Sloane Toyota Malvern - Service Center

Up selling and worst customer service I walked in to get Toyota Rear Seat Belt taken care of on Saturday morning.

It seemed fairly 5-10 mins job to put plastic protective cover to prevent seat belt rubbing against metal part. I was asked to come back during weekdays with appointment for three reasons a) As per Assistant Service Manager, he did not had any technician to work on recall issue and b) they do not perform any recall related service on weekend (very surprised why not?). c) This recall service will take 2 hours. The next available appointment was 9:00 AM Tuesday which i had to take a half day ff at work. I brought car in on the day of appointment and it was fixed within 30 mins including two visit of Service Adviser where they make recommendation to fix other issues. Within this 30 mins they performed recall service and courtesy inspection check (oil change inspection, tire rotation , brake inspection , battery inspection, Air filters replacement inspection, shock absorber inspection). So i had to take half day off just for fairly 15 mins job which i was told takes 2 hrs minimum. I was pissed off and i decided to brought this to Service Manager's attention which he laughed saying you are not happy because we did it too fast????? I tried to make my point couple times to help him explain that i had to take half day off just for 15 mins job which could have been easily fixed on first visit. So it took me two visits and half day off to get something fixed which was Toyota's mistake (factory recall). In my opinion they do not perform any recall related service on weekend (specially without appointment) since it's free and they don't make make enough from it. Update: Service Manager called and he was very apologetic about what happened and how Assistant Service Manager acted. As per him they I could have dropped car off on weekend not not came back during weekdays. Sorry but still you have lost my business. I do not mind going to different dealership or place where they treat you with respect. We are all professionals and shall act like one...!!! More

not bad sales , Poor service The service department tried to provide unnecessary unneeded work. ( Yearly wheel alignment (on a car with 7,000 miles) is crap).

Running a fraudulent service department The service department is charging for services that are covered under the Toyota care warranty, then getting reimbursed from Toyota corporate for tho The service department is charging for services that are covered under the Toyota care warranty, then getting reimbursed from Toyota corporate for those services! I purchased my 2016 Toyota Prius from Sloane of Malvern in Summer of 2016, which was a great experience. That great experience ended there. Shortly after my purchase I accepted a job offer to relocate me out to the Seattle metropolitan area. I took my Prius in for it's first service appointment before making the 2,800+ mile drive. When I brought my car in for it's first appointment and oil change in September, I was told that I would be charged for that service (What dealership charges you for your first appointment?). I questioned this to the attendant checking me out and he said that it was correct. I thought this was odd, but I shrugged it off. I recently took my Prius in to have the parking break recall fixed and I questioned the service manager at the local dealership about why I had been charged for my first service appointment at Sloane, but not my oil change & service at their dealership. He informed me that the service appointments should be covered under Toyota care. He asked if I had the invoice from the service appointment. After reviewing the invoice, he told me not only that I should not have been charged, but Sloane had received reimbursement from Toyota corporate for the service! This infuriated me, but I calmed down and called Toyota service and was told that I was wrong and this was standard practice. I then contacted Toyota customer service and they put me in touch with Dennis Hoffman, the service manager at Sloane. Dennis called me once, which I was in a meeting and could not answer. I have now called Dennis back 4 times on two different phone lines and left a message each time with no reply. This has been ongoing for over 2 weeks now! I would strongly advise anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy service to steer FAR clear of this dealership! More

My Horrible Expierience On 8-29-2016 I went to Sloan Toyota at Malvern, PA to get my 2013 highlander to get Emission State inspection and oil change. Amie Watts the advisor On 8-29-2016 I went to Sloan Toyota at Malvern, PA to get my 2013 highlander to get Emission State inspection and oil change. Amie Watts the advisor called me that I need to change my windshield wiper, alignment ($99.00) and the front brake rotor got rusty ($396) rotors only without pads . So I said I don't want to get the rotor done yet. I spent $281 with all services done except the rotors. While I was driving home, I was hearing and feeling my bottom of my car is not right. ( feel like something falling apart) it didn't drive that way until I left Sloan Toyota. Something wrong but I couldn't see anything wrong. Before I go in to get the service. My car was very quiet because it still brand new car. Only drove 2 years 12000 miles. So I called the advisor right away when I got home. She keep pointing at saying because of the rusty rotors. I said I don't think so. It wasn't like that before I got to Sloan Toyota. I want to go back right away to get it check but she said I can't. Because they were booked up. So I went back next day to recheck the problems. After recheck she still pointing at rusty rotors ( she showed me the pictures too). They couldn't solve the problems they made . When I arrived my home driveway. My right tire fell off, my children were with me and something really bad could have happened to my family. I came in with nice quiet car but came out with my car fall apart. I thought I could spent that much money that they would have done a better job. So I let my friend mechanic fixed and tighten all nuts. The problem solved. It feel brand new again . Very quiet driving. I would not recommend anyone go to Sloan Toyota in Malvern, PA shop to get service done , What a horrible experience I had with them. I fell that I should go VIRAL in my social media. I have never experienced anything like this. More

Consistently Outstanding Service Just completed another outstanding service appointment on our Toyota Highlander. Originally bought the car from Mohamed couple years back. Have alwa Just completed another outstanding service appointment on our Toyota Highlander. Originally bought the car from Mohamed couple years back. Have always taken the car back to Sloane/Malvern for routine/periodic/required service. Today's service was usual pleasant, efficient, expeditious service experience with Dennis Hoffman and Sergio Santana. Waiting room area is great, restrooms were spotless, everyone on the staff has pleasant, upbeat demeanor. It is actually a bit of a drive from my residence to the Malvern location, but because of the outstanding service I always have received, I wouldn't think of taking the car to any other Toyota dealer location even though there is one much closer to my residence. Can't say enough about how great this dealer/service agency is!!!! More
