This would be a 1 star review if not for the diligent recovery efforts made by managers Grace and Robbie. My vehicle was dropped off for a broken component near the steering wheel, which ultimately requi recovery efforts made by managers Grace and Robbie. My vehicle was dropped off for a broken component near the steering wheel, which ultimately required a warranty replacement of the steering column. I was advised a 2 month wait time for a backorder from Japan and provided a loaner. A week later I was advised the part had come early and repairs were completed. During a test drive after the repairs I immediately noticed static ABS and traction control lights on the dash and a non functioning track mode switch. When brought back to the dealership I was advised that not only was there no road test performed after the repair, there was a also replacement of the steering angle sensor which was installed incorrectly causing the issues. The vehicle was also parked a block and a half away from the service center and left unmonitored and outside of camera range. With all issues brought up I was informed they would be corrected. On my second pickup attempt the vehicle was now parked a block away on the other side of the service center, however now had damage on the rear bumper from what appeared to be a parking incident as well as loose wires dangling from the steering column directly in front of the gas pedal. The service center advised me this would be corrected as well and apologized again for their incompetence. On the third pickup attempt the wires and rear bumper damage was addressed, however there was now a unremovable white residue on the textured lower portion of the rear bumper and significant dirt/dust left on the interior of the vehicle. After bringing up these issues to the manager, more apologies were made and I was advised that they would make every effort to finally get the repairs right. On the fourth pickup attempt the vehicle was finally clean and in a condition that was to be expected of a dealership warranty repair. I did have to make another return to the service center for a steering alignment since the steering wheel was significantly out of position. This time the staff and management was very gracious, performing two alignments to ensure all measurements were within tolerance and even allowing me to inspect the second alignment process. While the entirety if the service experience was substandard and extremely frustrating, I believe one extra star was deserved for the efforts made to correct the issues caused. The management team also took responsibility for the poor service and made the efforts to improve the performance of their staff/ensure the repairs were adequate. More

We took our car here for years for routine maintenance and service but we'll never return after our most recent experience. The long and short of the story is that we were having a maintenance problem wit and service but we'll never return after our most recent experience. The long and short of the story is that we were having a maintenance problem with the vehicle, took it to Hillside and were charged $300 for an incorrect and sloppy diagnosis. The diagnosis made no sense to me and I consulted with other mechanics who concurred that Hillside must have made a mistake or simply not done a thorough job. Hillside wanted to charge $3000 for the repair. Even if their diagnosis was correct (and it wasn't), I received a quote for the same repair from another Toyota Dealership for literally one third of the price. I ended up driving two hours to take the car to the Toyota Dealership where we originally bought the vehicle. They provided the correct diagnosis, charged only $150 for the diagnostic fee and provided an estimate that was less than one half of what Hillside wanted to charge. I have no doubt that Hillside would have charged us $3k to fix a part that did not need to be fixed and then would have charged an additional $3k to fix the part that actually needed to be repaired! In addition to this terribly incompetent service, Hillside's technicians also created new problems with the vehicle that didn't exist before we took it to their shop. My emails and calls to Ravi (manager of the service departmen)t went unanswered. All of this to say, avoid this place at any cost, or it will very likely cost you. I'm not sure if they've always been this terrible or if the pandemic has turned them into scammers. Either way, their current business practices are corrupt and fraudulent. More

I leased my Toyota three years ago. I came this weekend since my lease had only 5 months left and Mr. Polanco provided with me with all my options. I then worked with Mr. Wong at the Finance Department who since my lease had only 5 months left and Mr. Polanco provided with me with all my options.
