Eye roll, frustrated and disappointed
by TobiasA on 11/30/2020First off, let me make it VERY CLEAR that I do NOT appreciate the way the porter (Lee) drove my vehicle back to the service station! Not only did I witness him driving in the parking lot like her was maneuvering through a safety protocol… demonstration (swirving left and right), the articles in my trunk we’re flipped over and on the opposite side of the truck as if someone had gone through (no I’m suggesting someone did, I’m simply stating the items wouldn’t have otherwise been like that had my vehicle been driven properly). Second of all, I feel as though my service Advisor was not honest with me. I visited for a simple tire pressure light. The Advisor assured me that he checked my tires and added air to them, however when I asked him what the pressure was at when “they checked all of them including the spare” not only was he unable to tell me the numbers. Third, while my service advisor assured me that they checked all five tires, there was absolutely no indication that the spare was checked (ie the mat in the back of trunk showed no signs of being touched). If my advisor simply had the sensor reset, that is all I’m asking that he share with me.Hi, it's upsetting to hear that you did not receive the top-notch service we strive to provide. Please call our General Manager at (512) 518-6900 for ways we can work towards resolving these issues. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

This dealership actually listens
by Martha on 10/26/2020The RAV4 hybrid is the second vehicle we’ve bought from AutoNation Toyota in south Austin. Both times we knew exactly what we wanted, and both times AutoNation was the only dealership that listened. Other dealers wanted me to come in and… look at inventory (no, I know exactly what I want) or fill out forms (why exactly?) or promised to find it but didn’t follow up. Abbi Gass listened, found the vehicle, kept in touch until delivery—very responsive and we are pleased with the vehicle and AutoNation Toyota.Congratulations on your new vehicle, Martha! We're glad to hear we delivered such a great experience. If there's anything further we can do for you, we are happy to help!

Our service advisor Deborah did a great job with us.
by Eckstrom on 10/23/2020We made an appointment to take our Range Rover in for service and to use our top-of-the-line platinum service agreement. When we got there they could not find our service agreement anywhere in the system. We tracked it down through our… sales person and he sent it to Deborah. They were unable to locate the wheel lock key to remove The wheels and inspect the brakes. It took them hours to discover this when we were told it would take an hour to inspect the brakes and give us a diagnosis.That was the main reason for us bringing it in. Most service departments at a dealership have a multitude of keys to unlock peoples wheels in case they have lost theirs or never had one. Apparently this dealership does not have that set of tools in their tool chest. they were unable to hear the squealing noise in our breaks after two separate test drives. It was squealing when we pulled into the dealership. We’ve decided to pick up our vehicle and take it to the Land Rover dealership. However, when we picked it up it was washed in the oil was changed. We really appreciate that. Pulling out of the parking lot our brakes were squealing.Hi, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Please call our General Manager at (512) 518-6900 for ways we can work towards resolving these issues. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Right car, right price.
by Duncan on 09/18/2020After having bad experiences at other dealerships, I talked to Paul at Toyita AutonationHe helped m.j e find exactly what I was looking for, and with help from Jose, they helped me through the financing, and have both been si n.b care,… without the phony, high pressure sales tactics used at other dealerships. If you're in the market for a vehicle, go see Paul at Toyota on the motor mile.Duncan, we set high expectations for ourselves so it’s gratifying to hear you had a great experience with us. If you ever need anything else from us, please feel free to give us a call or stop by. Have an awesome day!

I don't want to be "that" guy...
by Really bad day on 08/01/2020I called ahead to have my recall done, standard maintenance, and have my alignment checked. I knew going in that it would be several hours, mostly because of the airbag recall. Long story short: Wes Peterson just bailed on me every step… of the way. I spent 6 hours there and they never even got to the airbag. I asked Wes to take the alignment off, as I sat there and watch my car go unmoved from the lot for 3 hours and thought that maybe that would speed up the process. It did, but now I think that my asking about it is the only reason Wes was reminded that my car was even there. I then waited 3 more hours and thought I would try to get a time estimate. Wes was no where to be found...by anyone! My car was "finished" and had been sitting in a space in the lot for I don't know how long. Someone else helped me (I want to kick myself for not getting his name, but he wears two knee braces and works in the same little office Wes did), only to find out that the recall was not done, the alignment (that I asked Wes to take off BEFORE my car was taken anywhere) had been done, and the maintenance had been done. Every step of my experience sucked, and I lay that at the feet of Wes. Maybe he was having a bad day. (?) That was my last service on a pre-paid contract after purchase of the car and I can't see myself going back. To be clear, none of my other experiences have been like this here! However, this one experience of feeling ignored, hot (100 degree day), and under valued was enough for me.Hi, we are deeply disappointed by your experience at AutoNation Toyota South Austin.

Service Department Lied
by Bauzer88 on 06/22/2020Had an appointment at 8:00am. Showed up at 7:50 and my car sat un the drop off bay until 8:20. Then it was moved to a line where it was 3rd in line. Saw a supervisor walking around and made him aware of the situation. He said there were no… appointments and was rather rude. I tole him that I'll take my van and go to a local shop who would appreciate my business, which I did.Hi, we are deeply disappointed by your experience at AutoNation Toyota South Austin.

Great place to buy a car
by Happy Buyer on 06/20/2020I had what I thought was going to be a bad experience turned into a great experience. The sales people here will help take care of your concerns and issues. Don't do what I did and get all bent out of shape and angry before talking with… them about any concerns.

Service
by Aroy2019 on 07/16/2019The service was done satisfactorily. We reached a few minutes before our appointment and there was only one person ahead of us in the line.
