My recent service experience was very disappointing, particularly when it came to customer service and communication. I brought my vehicle in at 8:40 AM for a scheduled appointment and did not get it back until after 3:00 PM. I understand that it was a weekend, but if appointments are scheduled, I would expect clearer communication about the timeline and any delays. Maciel was particularly dismissive and rude—he primarily asked me to sign paperwork, briefly mentioned that an alignment was recommended, and when I said I couldn’t have it done at that time, he did not explain why it was recommended ...

Unfriendly, too much upselling, and added xx charges to the oil change. Waiting for 6 hours is terrible for an oil change, tire rotation, and recall fix. I will not be back.

Car was in for dead 12V battery. (Many Prius Prime owners online experience this.) I was given a loaner car for 3 days (thank you) and they weren't able to find any issues. 3 days later it died again and that time they replaced the battery.

12V battery issue with 2027 Prius Plug In. Battery replaced, thank you! (Fundamental design flaw? Tesla has figured this out. Hopefully Toyota can fix through software to keep 12V battery topped off? Battery shouldn't die after just 3 days of not driving it!)

Ultimately, I don't love dealing with car dealers, but these folks are always nice, seem mostly honest, and they have a good waiting area and free courtesy car rides. Like any dealer, the service is more expensive, and they always are offering upsells and plans, but the service seems to be done in a high quality way. One thing to keep in mind, whether you have an appointment or not, whether your service needs are minor or not, service tends to take a really long time. Like you can't just pop in for a 45 minute oil change. I'... Read More

I specifically asked when schedule to wait while the scheduled maintenance was done but was told it would be many hours, so then it took almost an hour to get a shuttle ride home.
