How To Get Toyota's Best Customer Service

Your Toyota (or your Toyota dealer) is giving you a headache. There's a problem and the customer service you've received hasn't been good enough. Your problem is still unresolved. How do you get it solved?

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 before your local Toyota dealer will help you, they need to believe that you're going to be a good future customer. It's much easier for a dealership to justify helping you (especially if it costs money) if they believe they will earn that money back in the future.

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.

Sometimes, even if you've done everything right, the local dealership can't help. It's now time to call Toyota's national hotline. You can find the number in your owner's manual. Also, call your closest Toyota regional office. They will usually tell you that you need to call the national office, but if you're persistent you can speak with a regional executive that may be able to solve your problem.

In summary, when you have a Toyota customer service problem, start by working thru your local dealer. Speak with the GM and be as nice as possible. If your local dealer won't help, call both the national Toyota hotline and the closest regional office. Be nice, don't give up, and your Toyota customer service problem will be resolved.
