I took pre-appointment to install Body side molding and they took 3 hours to install it. After I told service manager that I will be waiting in the lounge, he circled my phone number and told me that he is they took 3 hours to install it. After I told service manager that I will be waiting in the lounge, he circled my phone number and told me that he is going to call me. After 2 hours I went to check the status. There was another guy showed up and told me that as the phone number is circled he thought I left to home so he lined up other vehicles in queue and he told me it will take another 2 hours. I asked him to cancel my order and return my vehicle. He went inside and told me that now he can deliver it in another 30 minutes. There is no respect for customer time at walser toyota service and there is no coordination. More
Help with setting up Blue Tooth I had an exceptionally positive customer service experience at Bloomington Walser Toyota on August 2, 2019. We bought our RAV4 in March 2019 and I wai I had an exceptionally positive customer service experience at Bloomington Walser Toyota on August 2, 2019. We bought our RAV4 in March 2019 and I waited until the last minute to figure out how to use my phone hands free. When I came to your store I expected a long wait but an intern at your store, Gabe, immediately offered to help me and patiently and thoroughly explained how to use the technology that was new to me. He connected my two phones to the car and made sure all my questions were answered and that I felt confident in using my phone hands free. I have been successfully using Blue Tooth ever since!

Didn’t get what was promised I’ve visited this service center 4 times for my Toyota Care program. At my last visit I learned staff had not checked out my fog lights as had learned I’ve visited this service center 4 times for my Toyota Care program. At my last visit I learned staff had not checked out my fog lights as had learned they weren’t plugged in! But I was assured “everything” met quality standards Yesterday I learned the cabin filter (supposedly changed in July 2018) was torn, full of dust, and moldy! Current mechanic says couldn’t have gotten that bad in 3 mo. Also learned my wheels hadn’t been aligned when car was new causing expedited wear. They are now bald with wires coming through after only 29,000 miles. They would have been under warranty had the service center been truthful about the wear when I specifically asked about it in July. I was told they were fine and just starting to wear. Either untrue or really cheap tires installed at factory! So I now need to replace all filters plus 4 tires less than 5,000 mi after last “service”! Any wonder I doubt these things were ever done under Toyota Care??? More
Great service I recently had a recall issue with my new Toyota Highlander. I worked with Brett in the service department and he was great! This was a very frustra I recently had a recall issue with my new Toyota Highlander. I worked with Brett in the service department and he was great! This was a very frustrating situation with Toyota corporate since I purchased the vehicle in November and just got my Highlander back with the repairs made in June. Brett was very helpful and understanding in getting the issues resolved and finding me a great car to drive while the issues were being resolved. More
Great service, diverse staff a plus! I inherited a Toyota Avalon from Texas and brought it in to Walser for an oil change. What a wonderful dealer. Fast, professional, and I was very im I inherited a Toyota Avalon from Texas and brought it in to Walser for an oil change. What a wonderful dealer. Fast, professional, and I was very impressed at the diversity of the staff - women and people of color working the service center and the sales floor. That doesn't happen by accident and it's pretty freakin' great. I'm with them for life now! More
Drew was exceptionally responsive to my service needs. This dealership is the best and most honest I have ever dealt with. I purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 68.000 miles on it. In the first wee This dealership is the best and most honest I have ever dealt with. I purchased a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid with 68.000 miles on it. In the first week the ac went out and the car was pulling to the right when driving. I called the salesman I had worked with, Drew Doorak and told him what was going on. He said to bring it in at my convenience. This was a Tuesday and my only available day was Thursday that same week. He said no problem. I brought it in 10:00 am and by 2:00 pm they had fixed the ac (a pressure sensor replaced) and done the alignment. All at no charge. This is of course how things are supposed to work (or even better) but it is the first time I have actually had this experience with any dealership. More
Dishonest Practices in the Service Center This dealership is run by a bunch of CROOKS. I would not recommend bringing your car here for recalls, service bulletins, or any other maintenance. Th This dealership is run by a bunch of CROOKS. I would not recommend bringing your car here for recalls, service bulletins, or any other maintenance. This is your typical service center that takes advantage of people (especially women) who are uneducated about cars. First there was the runaround to even get my oil consumption test done. The first appointment I had, I left the dealership with NO instructions and not even a receipt. My receipt was later mailed to me with NO information on it pertaining to the oil consumption test they were running. When I came back past the 1100 mileage, they tried to pin the miscommunication on me but I had documentation to prove that I was not properly informed. They didn't even have the information on the service bulletin/recall issue when I came in the first time. They cheated me on my oil consumption test when we finally got to completing it. They outright lied and told me that my car "passed" the test. I did not witness the oil levels before they sealed them during Phase 1 of the test (I would recommend doing this). I did not witness them checking the dipstick during Phase 2 of the test (I would recommend doing this as well). If I had done so, I'm sure I would have seen that they overfilled my engine with the motor oil so that the test would pass. They were extremely vague in answering the questions I had and told me that it's "normal" to have to put a quart of oil in my car between oil changes. I also had an issue with my breaks while I was there. I contacted corporate and that was a complete circus. In the end, they wanted to "make it up to me" by changing my breaks and servicing my rotors for free. They did that to try and shut me up so that they wouldn't have to deal with the oil consumption issue. They figured I'd be happy and continue getting my car serviced there because they "made it up to me" when in reality, they did that so that I wouldn't press the oil consumption issue which would cost there dealership a lot of time to fix (supposedly a month).

Service department We recently bought a 2011 Toyota Highlander. They are known to be pretty bulletproof, however after reading forums we decided to schedule a proactive We recently bought a 2011 Toyota Highlander. They are known to be pretty bulletproof, however after reading forums we decided to schedule a proactive repair on the prep tow package. we knew it was not covered under warranty and clearly stated we wanted to pay for the repair. We got a quote and scheduled an appointment. At the time the car was supposed to be done and ready for pick up (10 pm) we get a call giving us a new quote and saying the repair was not only NOT done but not even started. Apparently there is a complete lack of respect of time. I tried to explain our frustration that we received a quote, made an appointment then when the car should be ready to pick up we are getting a higher quote, but his (John) reply was that maybe he should talk to my husband! Honestly, after not being to Walser in Bloomington for quite a few years we are surprised to see the turnover. There is not ONE older salesperson or service person. The staff is all very young and don't seem to know what's going on. Everyone you talk to gives you a different answer. More
Tires and oil changes I should have known when I needed new tires before my two year lease was up that this was a bad deal. Now I'm going on year for and if I don't do an I should have known when I needed new tires before my two year lease was up that this was a bad deal. Now I'm going on year for and if I don't do an additional service every time I get my oil changed it is no longer free. Just ways to get you in the door and screw you once you've already bought a vehicle. never again More
I brought my toyota truck in for a diognistic service to determin why it was bogging down during acceleration,it ran ok at low speed. The walser service dept. asked for my ok to replace the mass air sensor determin why it was bogging down during acceleration,it ran ok at low speed. The walser service dept. asked for my ok to replace the mass air sensor after 2 days,I gave it and the truck still ran the same with no improvement whatsoever. My truck sat in their service bay for a total of 7 days where they suposidly tested everything and finally gave up but still handed me a hefty bill. My next stop was a small garage in my naborhood where within 1/2 hour they determined it was the fuel pump and had it fixed by the next day at noon.they explained that walser had checked the pump at idle,not under load thus the failure to diagnose correctly the lack of fuel pressure. I described my experiance to walser on their customer site and they gave no excuse or reply to my complaint. Needless to say I wouldnt recomend their service dept.to anyone I feel I was totally burned. Dan A Ihrig...Mpls.Mn. More
