After 2 months of writing reviews, contacting consumer advocate organizations, Toyota U.S.A.and Toyota financial, Toyota of Chattanooga reached out to me.
I set up a meeting with Eddie Triplett the general manager.
I found Mr. Triplett to be intelligent articulate and relatable. He loves his profession, the brand that he represents and stands behind his employees. He also showed a respect for his customers and genuine desire for fairness.
I admire his passion, his loyalty and his ability to communicate his beliefs in a non confrontational, respectful manner.
Although I did not end up with the results that was looking for Mr. Triplett made concessions that moved in that direction. He assured me that the communication issues that seem to be at the core of this dispute would be addressed and I have no doubt that it will happen.
This car was purchased to be my "end of life" vehicle. I don't have any reason to believe that I will purchase another but if I were to it wouldn't be from a dealership. I believe that the industry is set up to maximize its bottom line at any cost to the consumer. The whole process of purchasing a vehicle is riddled with opportunities for the dealership to take advantage of the customer and many will.
That being said I don't believe that Toyota of Chattanooga under the direction of Mr. Triplett will be one of them.
My experience with this organization and the people that make it up has been insanely unpleasant. I have been misled, taken advantage of, psychologically gutted, and out and out lied to.
I have been in an ongoing battle with them since December 2021. I first tried discussing the matter with them, hence the psychological gutting, that went no where good. I have filed a BBB complaint to which they never replied after repeated attempts to get them to do so. I have written numerous reviews that just get shuffled to the bottom of the pile and disappear into obscurity.
Do yourself a huge favor and shop elsewhere. There must be an Auto Dealership out there somewhere that has some sort of ethics.
