Subject: Formal Complaint - Unauthorized Repairs, Lack of Transparency, and Coercive Practices - Tustin Toyota To: Tustin Toyota Management / Toyota Corporate Customer Relations Date: April 28, 2026 Regarding: Tim Rau (Assistant Manager) & Bobby Ramirez (Service Manager) - Unauthorized charges totaling $577.08 on 2012 Toyota Sienna. To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the deceptive service communication and blatant lack of transparency I experienced at Tustin Toyota on April28, 2026. This incident specifically involves Tim Rau (Assistant Manager) and Bobby Ramirez (Service Manager). I have been a loyal Tustin Toyota customer since 2012. Our family purchased a 2012 Toyota Sienna van and a 2013 Toyota Highlander from your dealership. For over a decade, we have brought both vehicles to your service center regularly for oil changes and maintenance. I have consistently worked with Eric Paulsen, a service advisor who was always professional and transparent. (I later learned that Eric may no longer be with Tustin Toyota, which is unfortunate given the stark contrast in service quality today.) Incident Summary: On the day of my appointment, I arrived at approximately 09:45 AM for a scheduled oil change only, a service covered under my prepaid extended Toyota Care program. This time, I worked with Tim Rau. Upon check-in, I clearly stated that I was there for an oil change only. Mr. Rau proceeded to list recommended repairs for my 2012 Sienna. I acknowledged awareness of these issues but never agreed to have any of them performed that day. At 1351, I received a text that my vehicle was ready. When I went to the cashier counter, I was shocked to be told that I owed $577.08 before I could take my van. When I questioned Mr. Rau, he claimed I had authorized all the repairs - which was absolutely false. I asked to speak with his manager, Bobby Ramirez. Mr. Ramirez immediately sided with Mr. Rau, stating that my signature on a document meant I had approved all repairs. I tried repeatedly to explain: My signature was for the oil change authorization only, NOT for hundreds of dollars of additional work that I never requested or approved. Mr. Ramirez disregarded my explanation. Most Troubling Actions by Mr. Ramirez: · Threatened to keep my van if I did not pay the full $577.08. · When I insisted I could not pay for unauthorized repairs, he offered a 50% discount ($288.50), but only if I applied for a credit plan through Sunbit, implying I could not afford the full amount. · I am on a tight budget supporting young children. Being pressured into a financing plan for work I never authorized is not only unethical , it is predatory. Police Involvement: Because I felt that my vehicle was being unlawfully withheld and that the situation bordered on coercion, I called the non-emergency Tustin Police Department at 1324, while still at the dealership. The responding officer listened to my experience and informed me that this was a civil dispute over unauthorized repairs and payment. The officer did not intervene and recommended that I pursue this matter as a civil complaint, which I am now formally doing through this letter and, if necessary, legal channels. Why This Matters: I am not writing solely for a refund. I am writing because loyal customers deserve transparency. I have trusted Tustin Toyota with our family's vehicles for over 10 years. Today, I was treated like a source of revenue to be manipulated - not a customer to be respected. Customers should be warned: · Read everything you sign - even for a routine oil change. · Ask for a copy of your signed agreement upfront. · Be aware that a signature for one service may be misrepresented as approval for others. I have all documents on file and can provide them upon request. Requested Actions: 1. Investigate the service practices of Tim Rau and Bobby Ramirez regarding unauthorized repairs and coercive payment tactics. 2. Review the signed authorization to confirm that I never approved the $577.08 in repairs. 3. Provide a written response addressing how Tustin Toyota will prevent this from happening to other customers. 4. Escalate this matter to Toyota Corporate for review. I am sharing this complaint publicly so that other customers - new and loyal alike - can make informed decisions. I hope Tustin Toyota will take this seriously and correct course before more families are treated this way. Sincerely, Leon L. Customer since 2012

I always request Jordan Ghaffari whenever I bring my car in for service, and once again, he did not disappoint. I've been coming here for months, and my most recent visit was just as smooth and professional as ever. He's incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and always gets everything done in a timely manner. Jordan is professional yet friendly, and he truly makes the whole process stress-free. I completely trust him with my car every single time. The dealership itself continues to make waiting easy and comfortable. They offer complimentary coffee and tea, the waiting area is always clean and spacious, and if you're there for a longer service, there's even a Subway on site. As a parent, I especially appreciate the kid-friendly section where my toddler can play -- it really makes such a difference during longer appointments. Still a 5-star experience all around!

My precious Prius from Tustin Toyota

Tustin Toyota will always be a little extra special for me, as it's where I bought my Prius! And I love my little Prius-that-could. The sale negotiation was reasonable, and I secured what felt like a great deal at the time. Since then, it's been relatively positive with maintenance and service experience. The service folks are always happy to explain, negotiate deals, and provide a break down of issues. They've got reasonable packages and pricing on most service items, and there's the comfort of knowing the source of materials is directly from Toyota. Scheduling is also easily done on online or via phone call. To top this off, sometimes you even receive considerate treatment when an issue comes up. For example, my gas had completely run out after maintenance for some reason, and when I pointed it out, the staff went to fill the gas tank - and they actually filled it quite a bit! Tustin Toyota has provided me with years of reliable purchase and service/maintenance experience. I am grateful to have a reliable and consistent place to support my aging little Prius

Just want to start off by saying if you ever have any hesitation in getting a new truck from Toyota , get it it was so worth it . Mo was the salesman I was lucky to have explained everything from top to bottom really gave me everything I was looking for and more thank you Mo truly appreciate & and everyone at Toyota that helped into my new truck thank you as well

Made several great purchases at Tustin Toyota. Sales Manager Edwin Lugo, took very good care of me, providing me with a good deal and adding many perks to the deal. If you ever need a car, go to Edwin Lugo.

The Most Interesting Man In The W.

Purchased a remanufactured alternator from Tustin Toyota since it was the cheapest in the area and the original lasted 200k+ miles so I figured I should just stick with Toyota/Denso. The Toyota parts website makes it easy to order the correct part. The prices are also very reasonable. It ended up being slightly more expensive than Rockauto for the same part but with faster availability. When I put it in I knew it was defective out of the box because the battery light was dimly lit while running whereas it was not before. The voltage checked out OK but I was skeptical. I asked them if there was a warranty and they told me Toyota parts are covered for 1 year. I figured I might as well use it until it broke. 1 month later the alternator failed to charge my battery and left me stranded. I inquired about a warranty exchange, told them my symptoms and VIN number, and after some back and forth they agreed to replace the alternator under warranty. They let me know when the part was ready. All I had to do was to give them the defective part and they handed me the warranty replacement. I just put it in and viola, no more battery light.

Got a fully loaded maintenance a week-ish ago at Tustin Toyota, and conveniently ended up with a NAIL in my newest TRD back wheel, did not notice it until my toddler pointed it out (bc it was shiny). Can't tell if I got it before/after, the crew missed it, or it was within the Toyota premises since we don't drive my 4Runner as often nowadays since getting an EV. This TRD wheel is new-ish too, either bad luck, coincidence or I conveniently just got it during the same time I got my 4Runner under maintenance.

Tustin Toyota is the best Johnny & Adrian are the go to guys!!!! Made my experience with Toyota fantastic and they even have a subway in case you need a snack while at the dealership. Great customer service Johnny & Adrian were a helpful resource and were patient with me while I figured out the best way to deal with my situation.

I had a great experience at this store on a Friday afternoon, the female staff came right up to us…read moreand walked us through the store to get each item we needed. She was very nice, helping us figure out what we needed, it might be because we happened to be there when the store was more quiet, but I appreciated the proactive customer service nonetheless. All of the items we needed were in stock and not much more than if we purchased online, and often if it's for your vehicle you need it immediately so it's nice to know this shop is much larger than the AutoZone just down the street about 5 minutes away, and carries a larger inventory of products. If it's not at the other shop, there's a much higher possibility this one will have what you're looking for. This store is newer and bigger so the shopping experience is much better. You can also look up items on their website to see if they might carry it at the store. Definitely recommended.

I came in to get my oil and filter for my vehicle real quick while on my lunch break and was…read morelooking for a k&n filter cleaning kit and could not find so I decided to get in line. There were 2 employees, one was helping a customer and the other was on the phone. While waiting a woman came in and got inline behind me, shortly after a man lined up behind her. After some time has passed a man comes out from one of the isles goes right up to the employee on the phone and asks if he can pay there which the employees tells him "yes" then tells whoever they were on the phone with "I'll call you back" then proceeded to help the man who cut the line infront of 3 people. I was stunned that it even happened and then after helping out the man the employee peaks over and says "I'll help whoever is next" which I go up to him and say "I was next but you helped that guy who cut the line instead" which he just looks at me quietly doesn't say anything. Pretty much saying "oh well". The employee was completely unprofessional and was probably on a personal call if he said he would call them back. I can't believe autozone is okay with the disrespect to their customers, and to not even apologize or acknowledge what he did. I only go to this autozone because it's close to my work, I'll probably just starting going to oreillys that's in the same shopping center or just to a different autozone all together because this autozone doesn't respect their customers.

This is for the service team at Tustin Cadillac. I had such a great experience at Tustin Cadillac…read morethat I felt compelled to share. From start to finish, their customer service truly exceeded expectations. They took the time to answer every single question I had without rushing me, and made sure I felt confident and informed about the work being done on my car. What really stood out was their transparency and pricing. Dealerships don't always have the best reputation when it comes to cost, but that was not the case here. They worked with me to make sure I was getting the best possible price, which I genuinely appreciated. A big thank you to Ricardo, the service manager, who was incredibly helpful and professional throughout the process. He went above and beyond in every way and made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. Jonathan my service advisor was great prompt and professional through the process. It's rare to find a team that combines professionalism, honesty, and genuinely great customer care the way they do here. If you're looking for a place to service your car, you won't be disappointed with Tustin Cadillac.

Chris, the salesman I worked with, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole process feel easy and low pressure.

The finance manager was also great to work with--very transparent and took the time to clearly explain all the details without making the process feel rushed or stressful. Overall, it was exactly the kind of experience you hope for when buying a car. Great service, great communication, and a seamless process the whole way through. I highly recommend Tustin Cadillac and definitely suggest asking for Chris if you go in.
