I leased a car from Whitby Toyota last year. I got a good deal on that car (hence why I'm giving a star). This year, I went on Toyota's website, put in a build and price for a newer, different car and saw th deal on that car (hence why I'm giving a star). This year, I went on Toyota's website, put in a build and price for a newer, different car and saw that it wasn't too far off from what I'm paying. Now, I understand that pricing on the website may be inaccurate, and that breaking a lease will incur penalties and additional fees. That's not the point though. I wanted to visit Whitby Toyota, specifically the same salesperson I had last year in order to clarify the actual costs of purchasing a new car. I had texted my former salesperson, gave some information on what I was looking for. She simply responded saying my payment would double and that unless I was prepared for that I should "delay my appointment", then ended the conversation. I was appalled! First off, I wanted to speak with her to discuss different terms and options - including increasing my down payment, extending the payment periods, choosing alternate coverage plans, etc. But before I could even do any of that, I was already dismissed, basically. I was not welcomed to come in to have a chat about it. Secondly, never in my inquisition did I ever say that a "double price" was out of the question. How uncalled for to assume I can't afford that payment? We did not even discuss what I can and can't afford or what I was willing to pay! Third of all, when I showed a quote that another dealership was offering, she told me that they must be missing something and the numbers are wrong. How so? There was no explanation whatsoever. I gave a direct link to a quote from another dealership and all the details were there including the carry-over price for the lease, ECP plans, winter tires, etc.. I don't think there was anything missing... but I wouldn't totally know because, well, I was not invited to come in and speak to her. She did say that her response was "not to offend me", but it very much did. Instead of telling me "you'll be paying this, I assume it's not what you want, take care" how about letting me come in to see WHY and/or any other options we could do with numbers that I could see BEFORE assuming I don't want it? In any case, I had reached out to the manager who apologized on her behalf (hence why I added a second star). The manager also had a look at the quote from the other dealership, said that their deal was "fair" and left me to decide. So, I'm assuming that the other dealership was NOT missing any fees and it actually wasn't unrealistic in the first place. Whitby Toyota just didn't actually spare the time to look over the details with me. Shame. The point of customer service is to take the time to listen to the customers wants and needs and try your best to make a fair deal. Instead, all I got, in essence was: "what you're asking for is absurd, you'll probably waste my time because it's unrealistic. Not sure why the other place quoted that. This is the price, it's not what you want, so take care". I feel embarrassed and undervalued as a customer at Whitby Toyota. Unfortunately, I'll still need to be visiting the location for services to my current car, but without a doubt, I'll have a gut-wrenching feeling whenever I visit. More

I have followed Sharon to Toyota, because she knows her product details. She also understands buying a car from a woman’s perspective. It was convenient that they booked my first oil change at the time product details. She also understands buying a car from a woman’s perspective.
