I completed a purchase and trade-in transaction at Mechanicsville Toyota with *********************** on 12/22/23. On this day, the remaining balance on my trade-in was $2064.13. This was asked for and confirmed to Mechanicsville Toyota. At time of sale, I asked if I should pay the bank directly, or if they would handle the loan balance. They told me they would handle it, and I wrote a check for $2064.13 to Mechanicsville Toyota for the purpose of loan repayment. Mechanicsville Toyota then only sent $1837.34 to the bank, pocketing $229.79 in the process. The bank has confirmed and insisted that they were not sent the original figure of $2064.13. Mechanicsville Toyota owes me that money. Proof of both the check amount and the payment made to the bank are available upon request.Business response

I am sorry this statements made are incorrect. We don't pocket our customers money! If payoff is under (less than collected) we get from customer. If the payoff is over (more than payoff) we return to customer as a refund.
When the title comes in we send check for over payment or bill for under payment. In this transaction it was over. A check was issued for $230.90 not $229.79 on 1/5/24.
This check will go out when we receive the title from the lender. Hope this clears everything up. Next time just call, we a customer focused!
I am sending a copy of check receipt to customers email (****************************)
Thanks, ******

Ordered a truck back in April 2022 with ******. (One of the salesman) while we were going through the process he assured me I wouldnt pay a dollar over msrp. He told me that he would need a $1,000 deposit, and that the deposit was fully refundable. I gave him my card and then on the walk out he decided it was a good time to tell me that I would also have to buy the ceramic coating if I wanted to buy the truck from them. It was mandatory which then makes the truck more than msrp so he immediately turned back on what he said. He told me the coating was another $2k. A few months go by and my old truck died and I had to purchase a new truck and l needed another truck but the one I ordered wasnt ready so I had to go a different direction. Then at 10am on 7/18/22 I decided to cancel my order and ****** said that his sales manager would be reaching out to me later and that he would take care of it. (He implied that I would get my money back because he remembered what he told me). At 5:30pm I decided to call in because again no call back. When I got to ****** he sounded very agitated that I had called again and then laughed when I asked for my deposit back and said Im not having this conversation with you right now and hung up. I immediately called back and spoke with the sales manager ***********************. ***** didnt seem to think hanging up on a customer was a big deal and told me that the deposit was non refundable and that he had paperwork that I had signed. The only paperwork I got when I made the deposit was a receipt nothing else. I politely asked him to send it to me and when I received the paperwork, there is verbiage on the document that was never shown to me. I would have never signed a non-refundable deposit. I asked for the General Managers information and was told they think hes on vacation. Then I told him to send me the GMs information. Hope they do the right thing here. Refund my deposit as I was told it was refundable.Business response

This was forwarded as requested to the *** Will have a manager try to reach him on vacation as the accusations don't add up! We do it the right way here and are concerned about the claims being made! It is verified that cusomer did complete and sign non refundable deposit. Further conversation revealed customer put a deposit on 2 trucks and the one that came in 1st he bought. We would never had accepted a deposit from a customer that didn't 100% intend to purchase. If customer had mentioned this at any time we would have stopped and refused to do business. Will have management follow up with customer.

I made a $*** deposit on a car that had not yet been manufactured, which they required to reserve the car for me. They made a mistake and allocated it to a different car. After I placed my deposit, another customer placed a deposit on the car that was supposed to me mine. They contacted me weeks later when the wrong car arrived. Although the correct car is not yet produced or there, they refuse to honor their original reservation to me. My request is that they sell the correct car to me as originally agreed once it arrives, and not to the other person which paid a deposit for the same car after I paid my deposit.Customer response

We find a Suburban, its a year newer, it's the color I want, looks good. The buying process from the start is bad! Bad enough I left the dealership and was resigned to not getting the car. I received a call from the sale manager and was convinced to come back. Against my better judgement, I did. I bought the car the very end of July. By the middle of August the car was at the dealership for not having any AC, no connection to ******, liftgate not working, and service trailer brake system warning. It took over a week to get someone from the service department to call me back to get an appointment, after I made a grumpy phone call to the sale manager about getting the car fixed. I have very odd work hours and frequently use my car during the day to travel between hospitals. I had to also arrange for another vehicle to get me to and from work in order to take my car in to be fixed. Once I was able to get the vehicle in I provided the service team with a listBusiness response
