"Six to Eight Weeks"

by Sharon on 05/15/2023

I worked with Moe Belhachi, the Floor Manager, for months. He told me that they were the biggest Toyota Dealers in the Bay area, and I should buy a Toyota Camry Hybrid from him. I believed him. I wanted a blue car, so he acted like they were available if I was patient. (I do not even know if they made 2023 Camry Hybrids in blue.) I waited 10 MONTHS because he kept telling me that the car would come in "6 to 8 weeks". In the meantime, he tried to sell me other used cars. I bought the car that I wanted from another dealer when I realized that this man did not have my best interests at heart. At least, my $500 deposit was returned. That is the most positive thing that I can say.

Horrible sales service

by nate on 09/13/2020

Too bad this only allows two stars or more. I wouldve rated them a zero star.I made an appointment and drove alomst 2 hours to the dealership to find out the car i was suppose to look at was sold.I called at 3 pm and made an appointment at 6 pm. no text or phone to to tell me the car was sold. What a waste of my time and then tried to sell me something else. Never coming here again. Do not deal with sohail and or his supervisor. No apology was given

Worst parts and service dept

by KYreviews38 on 10/23/2018

Worst service possible from any dealership. Their Services and parts dept. needs a change of leadership. My experience has left me speechless. From their Director to Management to Staff, they all could careless to help any client/customer. They try to pass on work to different folks and no one takes ownership. I had an item that was not purchased with my vehicle (separate purchase from the parts store), and I was told I can take it in to any Toyota dealership to get it exchanged under warranty. A month goes by and no word back, so I call in and the parts rep says "Oh, I forgot to write your number down so I couldn't call you back to tell you that you need to come in". I call in to confirm they have the part, and another rep says come on by and we can swap it. I go in to swap out the item, and they now say I need to go through service to get a write-up from a technician, so they can get reimbursed under warranty. I told them this was not from the car, and I purchased it separate & here is the receipt. They note it doesn't matter. Now, if I buy a mug from your parts store with a defect, I need to put the mug in the car and run it though service? ZERO LOGIC. I then call a 5 other Toyota Parts Dept. to confirm this is not accurate, and they all note that is not valid & this particular location is being difficult. There were 5 reps and I was the only customer in the store, so it boils down to being lazy. I then ask to speak with the parts manager, but he won't come out. I then ask for the service manager, and they put me in touch with the Director (Dave Rocha). I explain the situation, and he notes that he has worked in the business for 42 years, so he knows what will be covered under warranty & this won't. He said when a handle comes apart like this, it's always the user error. So, I note you are saying I broke this item & decided to waste 2 hours to get this resolved? And he replied with a firm yes. Then said I'm going to have to contact Toyota direct or buy a new one. I purchased 2 Toyota's in the last 3 years & brought my vehicle for service at this location for the last 3 years, and I'm sitting here being accused of breaking a $150 part by their Director??? Net/Net ~ It shows you why this dealership's reviews keeps going down. Your own leads treat customer like crap, so why wouldn't your team? I was planning on buying another Toyota for my family in December; however, why would I waste my time at a dealership that doesn't have the basic service concept down? BTW, I drove to another location who handled this in 3 minutes, so proof is there....This dealership is AWFUL

Purchase option for leased vehicle

by HardwareDweeb on 11/14/2016

Beware if you are planning on purchasing your leased vehicle at this dealership. I went to Dublin Toyota this evening to purchase a Prius Plug-in I had leased in 2013 and they had quite a surprise for me. I was asked first if I wanted to trade my Prius Plug-in for a new lease or a new buy and I declined that and told them I simply wanted to buy the car at the buyout price specified in the lease contract. A manager, Mr. Belhachmi, told me I had to stop at the service department first. I did and after talking to Harold, it turned out Dublin Toyota wanted to do a an inspection, SMOG test, Oil service, etc. at a fixed cost of $450. I told Harold I was simply holding on to the car that I had leased and that none of this made sense. I asked if the fee for the inspection/service was in my contract. He shrugged me of and said that he doesn't know about the paperwork and all he knows is that I must drop the car off for a mandatory inspection/service at $450 before I am allowed to buy it from Toyota. I went back to Mr. Belhachmi and he basically said if I were to buy the vehicle it would be like buying a used vehicle from Dublin Toyota and I had to cough up the 450 bucks they were asking for. I did bring it to his attention that none if this was in my contract and that there were no fees to pay except for the buyout amount. All he said is that maybe I should try sending a check directly to Toyota. Absolutely ridiculous and not a pleasant experience. I will call Toyota Financial Services first thing in the morning and get to the bottom of this. This is unacceptable and it feels as if I was being punished for wanting to buy the leased vehicle versus trading it in or buying a new car at this dealership. Not a good experience and I am not going back to them for anything. I will update my review after I get off the phone with Toyota Financial Services tomorrow.

This place is a JOKE

by ImaDesi on 08/28/2016

Just had been to Dublin Toyota. Customer Service is a big joke here. Here is my story, I was looking for 2016 Highlander XLE and prenegotiated the out the door price on phone/text and after confirming the price, I agreed to stop by the showroom. As usual when I went to the show room, I have to wait for a hour for the sales manager to come up with pricing. I'm sure they are just wasting the customer time by doing nothing on the computer and just acting as if they are working(True car sales people :)). To my surprise the internet sales/fleet manager DANIEL flatly denied the price which they agreed to give upon and suggesting me not to waste the time. When I showed him the price which they agreed upon on the phone text messages, he could not still believe it. So summary is they tell you one price and sell you different price.

Great Purchase Experience

by edmundsfan9 on 01/07/2016

My husband and I bought a new Toyota Camry with Edmunds Price Promise from this dealer. The transaction was quick and the sales guy Alex Brown was very pleasant. He is probably the nicest car sales person we have ever met. The finance manager lady was great and patient with us during the payment process. We will definitely go back to Dublin Toyota for our next car purchase.

I feel Cheated!!!

by Mahnaz_z on 09/01/2015

I had the worst experience buying my current car from Dublin Toyota and I feel cheated. If you need consultation to buy your new car DON'T GO to this dealership. They want to sell you a car as highest price they can no matter what you are looking for. They don't care about your needs and desire. They sold me a 14-15K car for 23K+!!! and when I came back and claimed about abusing my trust: NO Responsibility.... There is also no customer relationship department to listen to customer's voice, so if you want to claim about something you just have to deal with the sales person and maybe sales manager that they wouldn't care about customers after they were successful selling a car. The Sales manager have told me: I know you are unhappy and I can not do anything for you, next time do more research when you want to buy a car... I'm really unhappy and wouldn't go back to that place again. NO RESPONSIBILITY THERE

Best Toyota dealer

by MisterDo on 06/26/2014

I bought a RAV4 from them because of their great customer service and a great price! Maggie L. showed me how to use my new car's navigation and entune system. She was very patient with me as I am an older man who did not grow up with all this technology. I have recommended this Toyota dealer to my family and co-workers.

Ask for Naj

by katef1 on 06/24/2014

My husband and I bought a car this past weekend with the help of Naj. Naj made sure we saw nearly every car on the lot before making a deal with us that made my husband actually smile. Naj was kind, patient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. If you want to alleviate all potential stress in buying a car, ask for him when you arrive at the dealership.

Happy Toyota Owner!

by mloniadams on 06/12/2014

I have been a long time customer of 16years and have purchased over 6 vehicles from here. My last one was a 2012 Toyota Prius v. I have sent many friends and family to purchase their vehicles whether new Toyotas or used ones. Both the sales and service departments are very attentive, friendly and most of treat you with respect. It is very nice and covenient to have a local car dealer that takes great care you and your vehicles, one less thing to worry about. Many thanks to the team especially to their wonderful Customer relations manager Maggie who helped me out when I had some issues with my Prius v. I can't wait until my lease is up next year to lease the new 2014 Highlander platinum edition.

AMAZING SERVICE

by calig1 on 05/12/2014

My experience at Dublin Toyota was AMAZING. Everyone there worked very hard to get me the car I wanted at a price I could afford. I could not be happier. I will continue to do business with them moving forward. Parvez V. is my car sales person of choice. He treated me great and I enjoyed working with him on my purchase. Additionally, he was really interested in working with me financially to ensure that we were both satisfied with purchase price of the car. That was a huge impact on my decision to purchase the vehicle from there. If you're looking for a Toyota, this is the place to go. Also, he helped me set up my Bluetooth and filled up a gas tank for me for free Now that’s what I call going above and beyond. I went as a first time new car buyer looking for a new Camry and not really knowing what to expect. I did a bunch of research on the internet, mostly to compare prices. As soon as I met Parvez, I was put at ease. He worked with me on a level that wasn't pushy or condescending and helped me really understand my options. After checking out other dealerships in the area and comparing their prices, salesmanship and service, it was an easy decision. I bought my first brand new car from him. At the end of the day buying a car is about prices and service. Dublin Toyota has the lower prices on all the models I was interested in as the other dealerships in the area, but Parvez made all the difference. I don't think I will need another car anytime soon, but if I did, I would go back to him in a heartbeat. He treated me great and I enjoyed working with him on my purchase! The finance manager (Manu) also gave a good deal on financing and made the whole buying process easy. There is a lot of inventory so make sure to go on their web [HTML removed] to narrow down to a few cars before you go in. I went online the previous day and saw exactly what i wanted. I had been to many dealerships, and found this very comfortable to deal with on all levels. I spoke to the owner of the dealership Ryan C. and the manager Mike A. They were so friendly and helped me make the right decision on APR. It is not easy buying a car, new or used when you are on a tight budget, but I found they worked with me and made it all work. I thank all of them. My purchase experience was hassle-free, quick, and easy; thus, I certain that yours would be the same!

Got the Car and Price I Wanted.

by thedirtyduo on 04/23/2013

I started my search using edmunds, but I also used Google to find all the dealerships that carried the Toyota Avalon Limited Hybrid 2013. We narrowed 15 dealerships down to about 6. Most of them sent the "MSRP" price. I then asked all of them to send me the price with tax and licensing fees. I didn't have an exact color preference cause price mattered more and if a dealership knows you want a certain color and they have it they might be less willing to lower the price by much. We experienced this with the Marin store. We gave an offer to the cars we were considering. Most dealerships wanted me to come in or were telling me only $500 off the MSRP cause the car was "RARE" that's BS and I was not going to walk in unless I liked the price they offered. The lowest price we got was in Fairfield (about $500) but the color was not the one we wanted and nor did we actually go in there to confirm they would do it. Dublin was a tad more, better car and great experience working with Aleshia. We had to haggle a bit but it was over the phone which was great cause my work schedule is crazy. She gave me a nice quote that was $1500 less than Marin and the only difference was the interior was the Tan and not the Black. Once I went in to buy they were kind, the dealership is very nice and the Sale Manager only tried to pitch the warranty and that was it. I felt it was great experience in the end. Going through Edmunds is the way of the future. I'd prefer to make a deal over the phone and then walk in and do the paperwork. Thanks Dublin.

Bait and Switch fraud trick by Gorge Sales Manager

by swatisri1 on 03/23/2013

We had the worst experience this time.. Although we don't have any issues with the new car, the whole process of buying it from Dublin Toyota has been an ordeal. I dont think I'll ever come back... our tale of woes is a long one. Our preowned Toyota Corolla 2010 which was purchased in Dublin toyota around 2 yrs ago suffered a few damages from a minor collision last week and we brought it down to Dublin Toyota, because unfortunately we didnt have collision coverage and we trusted them to help us. They sent it to B and S Auto body service shop, with whom they deal internally and B&S called us to say that they estimated the damages would cost $6000 to fix. We checked on KBB site and if we fixed our car, the fair price for it was $8500. We came to Dublin Toyota to talk to Jojo (Joseph S.) about trading it in. He checked all the information and offered us $3000 if we went with a new Toyota Corolla 2013, which we accepted as it sounded like a good deal to us. We were taken to the finance department after a 30-45 minute wait. The manager was talking to B&S, as they were saying that $6000 was just an estimate and the cost of fixing our car was higher than that, we were told. So we waited anxiously, only to be told that all was well and the deal would remain the same. We were happy, we signed the release of the old car, bought the new one and drove away. All was well, we thought. But the next day, B&S Auto shop guy Mr S. called us and informed that the actual cost was $9000. We told him we had released the car to Dublin Toyota, so he should call there. He says the manager might give us a call to resolve this issue. We were surprised, didn't they tell us just the previous day that the issue was all resolved, and signed us up with the new car? Sure enough, the manager from Dublin toyota called the next day. He told us that the contract was void as the car was now totaled! We had only one option now, to buy the car at full price and take back our damaged car and deal with it ourselves! I felt like there was something not right here. Didnt he know that the car would be totaled on the day this deal was offered to us? He did talk to B&S before we signed! Why would he wait untill we signed the deal and then tell us that? When we went to talk to him the next day, he said that B&S had told them too that the cost was $6000 when he called them and thats why he'd offered us the deal. he refused to give us time to think, as he said we were in the wrong side for trading in a totaled car and legally, it would be a huge problem as he was considering the contract was void. We could not cancel the whole deal as we had driven the new car for 3 days and it was now a used car and our only option was to purcahse it full price and sign a new contract. We felt so cornered, especially since he told us to sign the deal immidiately, he couldn't even wait till the morning or leave our new car at the dealership if we didnt sign the new contract and wait for the next legal action! Legal action? Our only fault was that we trusted them and purchased a car from them!! We did not hide any information, we had told them exactly what B&S had informed us, and moreover B&S was someone they dealt internally, wouldn't they know if the car would cost more and the deal wouldn't work? It was all a ploy to sell us the car, it seemed like. After we unhappily signed the new contract I researched the net and found that this was a very old trick called "Bait and Switch", where the car dealer knows that the deal would be void and he would switch it after the buyer would take the bait and sign... The manager was right, we were at fault. We didnt research enough before buying and trusted them completely. The irony of it all is, we'd have gone with the new car on that day even if we were told the truth that our car would be totaled. We trusted Jojo, whom we'd dealt with before, and knew that he'd understand and offer us something we'd like. The manager "George" or whatever his name is, didnt have to do the "Bait and Switch" with us, especially with that drama of asking us take all our stuff out of the new car and hand over the keys because we didnt sign the new contract then and there at 9 pm in the night. On top of it, he told me that B&S would charge us nothing as they hadn't performed any repairs.. They charged us $400 for keeping the car with them for 7 days! The feeling of being cheated on and lied to.. I guess one has to experiance it to know it. To conclude, my wife still likes Joseph S. and wanted to talk to him about this whole thing, but forgive me for lacking the time or patience. He might be a good man, but the same cant be said about people like "George". My friend just purchased the same model car, same edition from Sunnywale Toyota for $18500 (On road price, including tax) I guess I'll take my business to them next time.
