I originally bought my 2001 Toyota Corolla Sport from this dealership when they were under a different name and management. I have stuck with the service department ever since and now my vehicle has ove this dealership when they were under a different name and management. I have stuck with the service department ever since and now my vehicle has over 220,000 miles on it. The attitude, professionalism, and caring nature of the excellent staff at Toyota of Tampa Bay (TOTB) keeps me coming back. I've rarely encountered a problem, and when I have, the friendly staff was quick to respond and took care of me like I expected them to. That quality is rare to find but awesome to experience when it does happen. I believe it goes beyond training and customer service skills. I can notice the level of interest and care each service advisor shows to each customer, and I appreciate and applaud that. My service advisor, Jay Nigro, is the third advisor I've had since I've been with TOTB. The previous two were excellent as well, but I must commend and compliment Mr. Nigro for how well he has treated me and my vehicle. He often goes above and beyond what I'd expect and probably what his employer expects or dictates, and I am impressed by his efforts. He takes the time to listen to me, take good notes, follow up with the techs that worked on my vehicle, and present me with estimates and reviews of service before I return to pay and pick up my vehicle. He is good about returning calls and leaving messages; again, something I very much appreciate. I am glad I ended up with Jay but can honestly say that any of the other service advisors would most likely perform with as much pride and dedication to their jobs as Jay has shown, Now give him a raise! Honorable mention goes to Nicholas Drummond as well, who has either taken care of me when Jay was out or busy, or has assisted Jay with my needs. He too gives off a positive, friendly feeling that customers instantly detect and appreciate. I am glad to know Nick too, and hope he continues with his excellent customer service. Many times a business doesn't or won't realize the power of good customer service, and how customers watch, listen, learn from not only their own experiences, but by being around other customers and talking with them about their experiences with the business. There is a lot of influence in the receiving end of courtesy, so much so that a customer might be swayed by information they received from other customers and not from the business. So to have a good courtesy base sending out the right message and good vibes I believe is critical for good business. Thank you for allowing me to participate in this survey and to give recognition and praise to Jay and Nick, and all of your other wonderful staff. I appreciate you all. More

This is a really GREAT place to take your car. Not only did I purchase my vehicle from Toyota of Tampa Bay on Fletcher avenue, I always bring it back there for service. In my last couple times I needed my did I purchase my vehicle from Toyota of Tampa Bay on Fletcher avenue, I always bring it back there for service. In my last couple times I needed my car serviced, I had the pleasure of having "Joe" - I shall refer to him as my "personal service tech" - he's great. Coming back with updates not just once, but several times. I love the theater upstairs, that was a nice surprise and I'm glad they have Wifi, it helps me entertain myself the short time I am there. They are fast, efficient, thorough and reasonable with the quality I can always count on. Thank you Toyota of Tampa Bay on Fletcher Avenue for being there when I need you. More

I was an customer of another local Toyota dealer for the past 5 years. When I started to have problems with my Toyota Prius after a service/recall experience that was UNACCEPTABLE to say the least, I called past 5 years. When I started to have problems with my Toyota Prius after a service/recall experience that was UNACCEPTABLE to say the least, I called and spoke with Service Rep Joe Trozzo from service department. Let me just say, Joe Trozzo was patient and informative from the very beginning. He asked I bring in the vehicle to see why I was possibly getting bad MPG all of a sudden. I stopped by the next day and he reviewed my prior Toyota Service Bill and had a service mechanic look over my entire car. While I waited, he gave me a tour of the BEAUTIFUL dealership which is BEYOND customer friendly and I could not wait to bring my 11 yr old to experience the next service with me. Once complete, both Joe and the Mechanic came and spoke with me about issues they had found where I had been OVERCHARGED $100 to remove a part that should have been free since it needed to be removed for the recall. Joe did not charge me for the service check and gave me suggestions on how to keep track of the mileage so he could review the data if I chose to come back to the dealership. If I chose to come back? Without pressuring me to do so he GAINED A NEW DEVOTED CUSTOMER. I have since come back to see Joe for an oil change and he remembered my MPG issue which we reviewed together. During this visit, he continually kept me abreast of the ETA of my vehicle since it was a busy Saturday for the service department. My daughter and I enjoyed the theater area, kid zone and food bar. It was time well spent getting a vehicle serviced. WHO CAN SAY THAT??? I am lucky to have found such an HONEST service rep and will continue to use him for all my service needs as well as refer all my friends and family not only to Joe but to utilize the dealership!!

Hi I recently purchase another tacoma pre-runner from Hi I recently purchase another tacoma pre-runner from Toyota of Tampabay. My return to purchase can only be described as coming back to the best deal Hi I recently purchase another tacoma pre-runner from Toyota of Tampabay. My return to purchase can only be described as coming back to the best dealership in my own hometown of Tampa. Jon Maffai is Business Sales Manager and without him I would not have reached my goals during my purchases. He consistently worked within my parameters to get us into all our vehicles. Sales in Tom Jones was great as well. Came back for a service for some rims being switched out which resulted in our warning lights coming on. Scheduled the appointment and was very well taken care of. My new truck was washed, vaccumed and top off with gas. Aaron Carr in service is a true professional and great representation for Toyota. My experience was so good I personally told his boss about it. As a result of all around good experience I hope to may a lease deal for my sons first new Tacoma Pre-runner. Thanks for being a great dealership you all should comment your self for working at a really good dealership. Joe Messina More

This dealership does not have it's act together at all. I took my 2009 Toyota Highlander in for a simple oil change and asked them to run it through the car wash. When they brought it back to me, th all. I took my 2009 Toyota Highlander in for a simple oil change and asked them to run it through the car wash. When they brought it back to me, they had charged me for a car wash but I didn't get one. Next, they finally ran it through their car was and brought it out....with paint scraped off my back bumper and the bumper itself hanging off my car! They fixed this problem the next week and I decided to give them a second chance. Big mistake! I got two tires replaced with an alignment and had to make an appointment for 3:00pm. They were told what car it was and what tires would be needed the day before. The next day they didn't have the tires and it took 3.5 hours with an appointment for 3pm to get 2 tires put on the car....but it gets much worse. The bill was $613. This week we discovered that they charged our debit card twice. $1226 for two tires?!? They don't want to refund the money and are telling us to contact the bank. Well, we did. The bank says they ran the card once as debit and once as credit and they got paid twice. Don't ever go here! There is no excuse for that behavior....and toyota- you are not fast, friendly, fair or fun. More
