PLEASE READ THIS FIRST IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT UTILIZING THIS DEALERSHIPS RENTAL VEHICLE DEPARTMENT!!!
To start off, the gentleman (Jeff) that I believe runs this department or is the manager, is very unprofessional, not trustworthy, and is racist. I'll address the racism part first. So while I was in line to be next for my rental, there was an African American couple in the office before me. I couldn't hear much of the discussion due to the door being shut, but I do know the couple left out of the office and I clearly heard Jeff state 'This is why I don't rent to their kind" after the couple had walked away. Another employee heard Jeff say it, and laughed, and kept walking to the service garage. I am caucasian, and it is clearest day what Jeff meant when he made that comment. It rolled out of his mouth so intentionally that I know other similar things have been said by him. So now its my turn to go into the office, and the first thing he says to me after I ask him how he is doing is "Busy dealing with people with lack of common sense, that'll probably wreck or smoke marijuana in the car anyways" Which I thought was very odd for him to say that to me, when he could have just gave a very generic greeting back, and proceeded to do our business. I had called and got a price about an hour before I came in, and when I arrived, the price ended up being way higher than originally quoted. When I asked him about it, he stated "prices fluctuate constantly, and you're more than welcome to go check Enterprise who never has cars". I was already there and needed a rental quickly, so I didn't want to leave. After receiving the vehicle and doing the inspection, the vehicle wasn't cleaned at all. So I asked him about that and he stated "I'm the only one running this department, and don't have time to hand clean every one of my vehicles". After signing for the vehicle he begins to tell me about some kind of business that he owns if I knew anyone that needed his services. Which I thought was very unprofessional to promote your personal business while working on Toyota's time. Especially since I never asked about anything like that. On my trip with the vehicle, it had a weird vibration at highway speeds.. So I called him about it, and he stated to me "just drive it". Which whenever I've rented from other car rental agencies before. If you have an issue with the vehicle, they will fix it, or swap the vehicle. But yet Jeff told me to just drive it, which felt very un safe. I cut my trip short just to I could get out of the vehicle before it had further issues, and I was left stuck.
I would never do business at this dealership, or with Jeff again! I also highly recommend if you're looking to rent a vehicle that you take the time to check other agencies. Enterprise was cheaper than Toyota, and they would have had me in and out in no time.
