First time (and possibly last time) buying from Toyota Kingston. Car is great, not a slight on the brand.
Sales: We walked in from the street, knowing what we wanted, took very little time to decide, and purchased the car with minimal fuss - was told we didn't need winter tires because this car came with 'all season' tires which were adequate for winter (I'm not a Canadian and I'm quite trusting of expertise - so that cost me $2K last month when I realized winter tires are named that for a reason). When we came to collect, we found the experience to be rushed, On pickup, sales guy was running late to pick kids up, rushed the plates on our $60K car, and told us to work out the tech package as it was intuitive. I felt completely flat about this experience.
Winter tire fitting: So - got to dealership at 7:30am, shuttle went 'everywhere', including East. Driver was a legend, but I could tell he was upset about this too - I got to work at 10:20am, having cancelled an important meeting.
First service: Rude lady on the phone - I asked for someone else, who wouldn't be barking down the phone at me, she is the only service coordinator. She kept asking which service I wanted, I told her I was responding to the notification that my car gave me. She then asked for milage, which I gave pretty accurately, and she told me I must be mistaken. Shocked.
This place is a sh*tshow. The only shimmer of light was the finance guy (who'd just moved to Toyota from Chevy) - that guy was great, but can't remember name.
I think there's a Toyota garages in Belleville, in Napanee - hell - go to Ottawa... These small town chumps are the worst. read more
