I couldn't be happier with my used, Toyota purchase! The Highlander I was looking for with…read morespecific colors inside and out and features that matched my particular criteria was located at Gene Messer Toyota in Texas. My salesperson Gabriel was so very helpful with this remote, out-of-state purchase. He was professional and instrumental in coordinating not only the transactional part with Eric (who handles on-site finance issues), but Gabriel was also my point-of-contact for the transport company's pick-up (who hauled it from Texas to California). Upon arrival, the car was detailed and smelled like new--even though it is nearing its 3-year anniversary. I would definitely recommend this dealership to locals or others who like to shop nationally for their "dream car" be it new or used.

WILL NEVER GIVE THIS DEALERSHIP MY BUSINESS and will urge my associates not to either…read more Its always ironic that life throws out little tests for you. Sometimes you pass, sometimes you fail, but it should always be a lesson to be better. To the moral of this statement.... I was in the market for a newer car, since my current car was about 10 years old, and I felt I deserved an upgrade. I searched around and found a few SUV's that I liked and went on the main Gene Messer website, which paired me with a salesman at their toyota location and we got in touch via email and text. I looked over their inventory and did not see anything I liked but saw one at one of their Sister Dealerships and the salesman told me "If there is a car/truck we have that you want, I can get it." I believed him. So I asked him to try to get that vehicle and I would come in for a test drive. Since this convo happened late Saturday, he said he would call the Sister dealership on Monday morning and have them bring the truck over. Monday comes.....he says he is working on it, but tells me to just come on out anyways and it should be handled by the time I get there. I figured it could not hurt, since I was already in that area, so I go. He sits with me for a few minutes, we make small talk and he keeps trying to show me other vehicles. I turn those down. He proceeds to tell me everything that is bad about my trade in and then gives me a low ball offer. I was not even concerned about my trade in because I had a large down payment. But then tells me the truck I wanted already sold. OK. So I get my keys and leave. I head to another dealership, where they not only give me 2500 more on my trade in, but also found another of the truck wanted with no issue. That salesman did his job and called around until he found it for me. Insanely enough, the original truck I wanted DID NOT ACTUALLY SELL. I had a friend call the dealership where it was and they said they still had it, and asked if my friend wanted to come in for a test drive that day. Nice, so my original salesman lied to my face, clearly did not want to work that day, and basically lost about $80,000+ in sales. How is that you ask? Well, I was seeing how my personal transaction would go, and if I came out happy, I would buy a fleet of about 4 or 5 trucks and a van for my company. Nice one Gene Messer Toyota. So, looks like they failed this test, and lost a potential repeat customer.

On Monday we went back to the shop to talk to him and he was being a real jerk answered the phone and told the person on the line that he could get him right in and he would move others down to get to the person in the phone vehicle. Then when he got off that phone call my husband asked when our vehicle would be ready his response was oh on a day we asked what day his response I don't know Tuesday Wednesday thyrs day Friday someday like a real a***. Needless to say we waited for another week and nothing our vehicle was taken to another shop without even talking to us first then he tried hiding the vehicle from us when we called and asked for our money back and we were taking our vehicle somewhere else he kept saying he wasn't going to tell us and the lady that works in the shop is a real piece also she trued telling us she didn't have to tell us where our vehicle was and that they didn't have to tell us they took our vehicle to another shop and we couldn't tell them how to run our business. This was the worst experience ever we got out vehicle to another shop and they had it fixed within a day. So again DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS HE IS A THIEF AND JJST TAKES YOUR MONEY..

They were unable to find the issue, but often had other repairs (other than the ones we went in for) to do. In the end, I had to replace my entire engine, cadilidic converters, and all the hoses associated because they did not do basic engine care (secure the air filter cap, thus my engine sucked up dirt for two years). When confronted with the issue, they denied any responsiblity and were not helpful. They are incompentent at best and most likely negligent from our experiences. There were several other smaller issues we had with them too but I want to keep this short. -DMH

That was several months ago and I haven't gone anywhere else since! I work during the week, so I get my oil changes done on Saturday mornings. The last time that I was there, I noticed that they offer a discount for military (both active duty and veterans) on Mondays. I told the cashier that both my husband and I are veterans and asked about coming in on a Monday to get the discount. I thought that I would be told that I would need some kind of proof of our service and to return on a Monday. Instead, the cashier said "Thank you for your service." and gave me the discount right then and there! No documents were needed. This discount saved me more than ten dollars. Not only will I be back, but I advised my husband to bring his truck in for oil changes. I vaguely remember seeing a discount for First Responders and I think that they have other discounts as well. So you need to check for yourself to see if they have any discounts you qualify for.
