My local toyota dealers

[Dean Lofthouse]

Absolutely useless

 

What kind of dealer doesn't stock brake pads

 

I have tried and tried with my local dealer to give them business, it seems they just want to drive people elsewhere.

 

I'm honestly gobsmacked that a dealership parts dept doesn't stock a basic service item

Sounds like my Nissan dealer couldn't get an alternator for 3 week.

Yet the motor factor guy managed to get one by 10 the following

morning

Couldn't agree more. Waste of space the lot of them. I have been waiting nearly a month for a serpentine belt guard from the dealer, doubt they're bothered to order it at all. Euro Saab parts direct - part was here the next morning.

They seem to only stock random things like, top hoses, and tailgate latches in my experience. Think there more interested in selling cars and doing a 'full service' whilst getting paid a small fortune.

Don't get me started on Toyota dealers. From two experences with them and my old works Hilux i have vowed to never own a Toyota or suggest anyone else ever has one either.

 

I got a Nissan and the service and parts department have never been short of amazing.

My dad has had this trouble with Renault, then they take a lifetime to order them in.

 

Ive been having to deal with Mercedes recently, (stupid van) but there customer service and service team are amazing! Weathers its just the fact that it is Mercedes, which i guess could be considered to be abit higher up than the likes of Toyota and Renault.

 

There parts aint cheap though, but yet again i guess its because its a Mercedes. £200 for one injector!

I know toyota dealerships are franchises if thats owt to do with it.

 

Our lass ordered the pads today and gave the bloke a roasting because of his "clever" couldn't give a donkeys attitude.

 

She questioned why they didn't stock basic items and he said they do, but not for the amazon ??

 

She then pointed out it is a basic service item and brake pads should be stocked for all models, otherwise it means the car is in over night if it needs pads ??

 

They should also stock basic service parts for their flagship model... I think he didn't like being shown up by a woman.

 

She then phoned the dealership we take the amazon to for service after falling out with this local one and they said they stock the pads and if we ever need parts again, they will travel 25 miles and deliver them to our house next morning personally
