      On August 25, 2023, I dropped off my vehicle overnight per Lorenas direction. ****** assisted me over the phone earlier that day and indicated my vehicle would be seen the following day if I dropped it off on Friday before 6:00 p.m. I waited twenty minutes before someone assisted me. There was a customer being assisted by a technician advisor, who explained to the customer carwashes are only completed at customers request. ************************************ then helped me & requested my vehicle keys. He said someone would call me the following day. At drop off, my vehicle had a tiny crack (two inches) on the windshield near the left side. This tiny crack was the original crack size & had never expanded. Next day my vehicle was ready. At arrival, I noticed my vehicle was washed & discovered a twenty-two-inch crack on my windshield. I asked ************************ what happened & why was my vehicle washed if I did not request a carwash? The windshield had a huge crack across, which was not there at drop off. He responded, I dont know what happened, I didnt even know there were any cracks & did not notice anything when you dropped it off. When I explained my vehicle had a tiny crack, he changed his response & said, O then the crack expanded because it was already cracked and it's not our fault. That happens to all vehicles with cracks. He said the vehicle was not driven off the lot & could not explain why my vehicle was washed without my request/consent. He said to call his manager *********************. On August 29 & 30, 2023, I contacted ************** via telephone at ************, & left a voice message as there was no answer. ************** returned my call & stated there were two sides to every ********** got the story from his ******************************** would not pay for the cost to repair the damage to the windshield because the big crack was already ********** just expanded. Visalia Toyota refused to take responsibility for the damages occurred while my vehicle was under their care.

      On Saturday January 13, ****, I had an appointment with Visalia Toyota. I was scheduled for a recall so went to drop off my vehicle at 8:30 or so as my appointment was scheduled at 9am. I was told it would take about 4-5 hours to complete the job and as I was getting ready to leave, my alarm on my phone went off with a song I have as my alarm, I turned it off and as I was leaving an employee walked by mimicking the sound of my song making fun of it and getting a laugh from another employee, which I felt was unnecessary and unprofessional. I kept it to myself and went on my way.At 1:47pm, I received a call from Visalia Toyota stating the technician wasn't able to get to my truck's recall therefore I would have to reschedule. As upsetting as that was, I figured no big deal I could bring it back at a later date. My wife went to pick up the vehicle shortly after and once there, there were 4-5 employees in the office and it took them about **** minutes before someone finally acknowledge her and told her someone would be with her. There was even a customer who came in after she did who was helped before she was even acknowledged. Once she was finally helped, they informed her the technician wasn't not in that day and they weren't able to get the recall fix done, so why wouldn't they tell me that first thing in the morning when I went to drop off the vehicle?! I wasted a whole day waiting for my vehicle to be done and had to miss work. Now I have to waste another day of vacation to get this done and be without a vehicle again for another 4-5 hours all because I was basically lied to. I'm having to waste a vacation on something like this rather than being able to use it spending time with my family!I am very disappointed with the unprofessional ism of these employees as this is the 2nd time I've had a similar experience with unprofessional ism at Visalia Toyota with their employees.
