    Status:
    Answered
    1/6/2024 On May 30,2023 I went to Leith's Toyota to purchase a used vehicle.My daughter and I went there minutes after 1 PM and we left the location minutes to 9 PM.Every customer who came in after us got through before us and that was a concern to me, which I mentioned to the sales manager..M.He acknowledged that it was true, but could not tell me why it happened.A few minutes from Leith's Toyota,I noticed that the car's tire pressure was low.The next morning,I also discovered that the car was dirty.I took the car back to the dealership on May 31,2023 to get the issues sorted out and M said he could give me a 2021 Toyota Corolla for the same price even though it was 4 years younger than the previous one. I was shocked and taken aback but now I know why. M went for the car and drove it to the front.It was getting late because I drove from work to get to the dealership.M told me I need to get GAP insurance before I take the car.He also told me that there is another insurance that he is offering that would get me any parts for the car if anything happens and I would not have to pay.At no time fid he tell me it was a warranty.The documents I signed did not mention warranty either.I discovered a sound in the car shortly after and called M.He told me it must be the brake.I also discovered that there was a warning that says " engine maintenance requured", I told M and he said to take it in.I did on 09/25/2023, and they told me that the coolant Bypass valve is malfunctioning and it needs a new one which will cost me $400 plus to get it fixed.I paid $204.00 for the diagnostic.I texted M but he did not respond .I got the brake checked by a mechanic and paid $100 plus for the job.The mechanic said the right brake was worn badly and needs repair ASAP.The car was overpriced because M added the warranty and GAP. I believe M chose the 2021 Toyota Corolla for me as an exchange because he knew it had issues.He stopped answering my calls and text messages.

    ***** **** did not add oil to engine after oil change. I caught it after approx 5 miles of driving. Had ***** **** tow car to Leith Toyota to inspect engine since driving w/o oil for only a few miles can seriously damage engines. ***** **** assistant manager drove to ****** * parking lot after I discovered no oil and filled engine up. At Leith, I requested a borescope of engine to inspect damage as well as check on metal in oil to determine damage. I requested pictures of the oil (in text thread with Toyota service person). Instead, Leith offered to take apart the engine and inspect at a cost of 5k to myself. Thanks. They did change the oil. And didn't document what came out as requested in text. So you can understand that when I went to pick my car up I was not happy. And I was not pleasant. Service Advisor turned me over to manager (lady- didn't catch her name) who in a condescending attitude that there is always metal in oil. The oil that came out of the engine would have been the absolute easiest way to analyze damage. The fact they just dumped it is insulting. The manager defused the situation by threatening to call the cops on me. Great solution. This service was absolutely unacceptable. Leith did not listen to my concerns. Leith did not do as I asked. Do not take your car here.

    Below is the initial concern when Mr. *** brought his vehicle into our facility: Customer took vehicle to ***** **** for an oil change & they forgot to fill back up with oil and customer drove the vehicle over 5 miles. Customer is requesting to find what kind of damage has been done to the engine ***** **** met the customer at a gas station to put oil in requesting to run a bore scope or visually inspect. Our Master Diagnostic Technician with over 18 years experience with our company performed the vehicle inspection including sending Mr. *** a 4 minute comprehensive video via text detailing of his findings and recommendations. Below were his final notes on the repair invoice Mr. *** received upon picking up his vehicle: ENGINE RUNNING AS DESIGNED AT THIS TIME PERFORMED HEALTH CHECK AND FOUND NO CODES RELATED TO ENGINE PERFORMANCE. RAN VEHICLE IN INSPECTION MODE SO THAT ENGINE WOULD STAY RUNNING FOR 10 MINUTES AND NO ABNORMAL NOISES WERE HEARD. INSPECTED FOR METAL IN OIL WHEN PERFORMING OIL CHANGE AND FOUND NO TRACES OF METAL IN DRAINED OIL.
