    My wife was having a maintenance service done on her 2022 Toyota Camry TRD ****** miles at Sullivan **** Toyota in ************. She was wandering around looking at the car vehicle for sale while waiting for her service to be finished. That is when Senior Sales person ************************* approached her with and she asked a question a bout possible trade in for the future when our grandson will be born. She wanted explore options getting the remaining balance $7,427.41 4.3%APR from $40,000 pre-order 2022 Toyota Camry TRD with $30,000 cash down from Toyota of Braintree. With in 2 hours at a oil change service, h had convinced her that her Camry was a lesser value car of a 2020 Toyota Rav 4 le returned lease car with missing service discrepancies, exterior damage, soiled interior, stained seats, filthy mess. He kept her on that one vehicle. Everytime she inquired about another vehicle, he brought her back to this mess. He had her sitting there signing contracts with no sale price of the 2020 Toyota Rav4, and told her that her car was only worth ****** when in truth it is $33,000 fully documented extremely clean trade in. He to the false $****** valuation and carried that over to the 2020 Toyota Rav4 le ****** base for a sale price. Then added a Certified Toyota $3,853 to the sale price = $31,428.00 9.3%APR 2020 Toyota Rav4 le new was $25,750. Never mentioning no number during this process, meanwhile my wife was clueless and say "I not sure I'm doing the right thing.." he persuaded her saying "I'm here to help you don't worry.." as he PACKED THE CONTRACT-adding on all maxed 3rd party extended warranties, never mentioning figures or options. Next was the financial advisor ***************** who basically did the same to her ... with $10,177 added to the $31,428 + fess ****** from the $27,757 toward closing the Camry balance. $20,000 is what she gave up the brand new Camry with ****** miles. She was so upset seeing $****** loan at 9.3%. She is mentally disabled receiving SSDI $1,200

    Brought vehicle in for warranty covered Oil change and multi point inspection. They advised front brake pads . Ok please do the pads . 2 and a half hours later the brakes were done . Not the problem . The issue was they started charging me for labor on the free stuff included in the warranty (oil change and inspection) . When I called ******** the the customer service representative for an explanation on the trumped up labor charge she was demonstrative, overbearing, rude and extremely unprofessional. Absolutely no where do they have there hourly rate posted or said there's a minimum labor charge ?? .... I was charged for labor for the whole entire time my vehicle was there including the free oil change and inspection that was part of the warranty .... I should have only paid for labor for when the brakes were being done , they got me for an extra hour and a half of labor about $200 , so basically I paid $500 for 2 brake pads . Parts were $140 , the labor was $360 . It's a total SCAM & the people who work here are very unprofessional and vultures. Only bring your vehicle here if you have money to throw away , liked being treated like garbage and being victimized !!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP THEY ARE VULTURES !!!!

    ******************** brought her vehicle in for an oil change and tire rotation covered under her maintenance program. At this time the technician noted that front brakes were needed. Our service advisor brought this to Ms. ********* attention and quoted a price of $461.28. As stated ******************* authorized the repair. ******************** called the dealership 3 days later and had questions about her bill and wanted to speak to a manager. She was told the manager ******** is off today but will call you tomorrow. I (********) contacted the customer Thursday morning. My attempt to explain the bill to ******************** was not successfull as she kept talking over me and yelling and swearing at me telling me "this is ******** and a scam" I told her that I was not going to speak to her any longer and ended the conversation- ******************** did not pay out of pocket for her oil change or tire rotation these were covered- the only out of pocket charges were for the brakes to be replaced that ******************** authorized.
