How To Get Toyota's Best Customer Service
Jason Lancaster
You've got a problem with your Toyota or your Toyota dealer and you don't know what to do. No one seems to want to solve your problem. Even worse, it's starting to be time consuming and frustrating you. How can you get it taken care of?

If you've had a problem with your Toyota and it hasn't been taken care of, your best hope for a solution is to work with your local dealer. Believe it or not, the dealership is invested in solving your problem because they know that's the best way to make you a lifetime customer. In fact, dealers spend thousands of dollars in advertising trying to create trust with their customers but statistics show that the best way to create trust is to solve problems.

But just because solving customer service problems is an inexpensive way to make a lifetime customer doesn't necessarily mean that your dealer will do it for you. First, you have to show them you're going to be a good future customer and worth helping.

Show your dealer you're a good future customer by being nice to everyone at the dealership. Even though belittling these people may be therapeutic, all it will do is prove to the dealer that you're not worth saving. Instead, treat everyone like gold and you'll make them want to help you.

But being nice is only part of the solution. You want to get your problem addressed by the most powerful and capable person in the dealership. That's why you want to ask to speak with the GM as soon as it's clear you have a customer service problem. The GM (or General Manager) has the ability to solve just about any customer service problem and he or she also has the full resources of Toyota at his or her disposal. The GM is person you want to work with.

If you've worked with the GM but they couldn't help you, the next step is to call the Toyota hotline (the number can be found in your owner's manual). I also suggest you contact the local regional office too. While the local regional office will refer you to the national hotline, you may be able to speak with a regional Toyota executive. Persistence is key.

To recap, when you have a problem with your Toyota that isn't resolved to your satisfaction, start by working with your local dealership. The dealer wants to earn your faith and trust, and they will often go above and beyond to do so. When you speak with anyone at the dealership, be nice. You want them on your side. Ask to speak to the GM too -- the GM has the power to solve your problem and they also have the full backing of Toyota. Finally, if the GM at your local Toyota dealer can't solve your problem, work with Toyota's national hotline and try to talk to someone at the regional office. If you're persistent and you're nice, you'll get the best Toyota customer service possible.
