IF I COULD LEAVE A ZERO (0) 0 STAR REVIEW I WOULD. THINK TWICE ABOUT TAKING YOUR CAR THERE FOR SERVICE - READ BELOW.
Took my Toyota Tundra (that was in excellent cosmetic and running condition with only 50K miles on it) to Grappone Toyota 2 days after my air conditioner was making an odd noise. They asked me to leave my car for them to work on later. This was the last time I saw my car in 1 piece.
They sent a video a few hours later that shows mice had gotten into the fuse box and through the air vent filter (a known problem with Toyota trucks). There was no obvious damage that could have been seen before i took it in, but they pointed out what they called "a few problems".
The service person I was dealing with Tanya, said I should file an insurance claim to get the truck repaired with the damage the mice did, supposedly.
Long story short, Grappone service did what they call a "mouse house teardown" which is gut the inside of the vehicle completely.
The insurance company inspector went to see the car, and declared it totaled with over $22,000 in damage. WTF?
After much back and forth with the insurance company, Tanya, and the assistant manager that was like a robot programmed to contradict everything I asked or said ... I was literally FORCED into taking an insurance settlement payout because they said that was my only option and that the car would now never be able to pass inspection or even get insurance again.
As sad as it was, I after all that,I had to go retrieve my personal items that has been in the truck, in the visors, glove box, center console, etc. When I was brought to the car in the back lot, it looked like a bomb had gone off inside, everything was ripped out and dumped in the back seat.
All the interior plastic, all the trim, everything, all beat up and scratched to hell which is NOT how I brought the car into the Grappone Service Center 3 weeks before. There were multiple parts and pieces that were in perfect condition that were now damaged, scratched and beat up. No care was taken at all by Grappone, they basically destroyed almost everything they could then charge to replace.
They had dumped my personal items in the back as well, UNDER the wreckage and derbis. Medical paperwork, my insurance and registration paperwork, my phone chargers, my spare set of glasses... all damaged, scratched, and discarded. It took my 20 minutes to dig through the "rubble" that was my car interior to find about 1/2 of my personal and important items. I mean- REALLY? THIS IS OK?
Grappone employees did MORE damage than what was originally there in order to jack up the money they would get paid, and the insurance company folded and paid me instead, but not even close.
Someone is profiting here - probably from the salvage, but it sure isn't me, the owner.
The assistant manager had no explanation and blew me off.
So I took my perfectly running Toyota Tundra to Grappone Toyota in Bow, NH, with strange noise coming from the AC, and now I have lost my only vehicle. Forced to take a low payout with threat of getting $0, much of my personal belongings in the vehicle discarded as trash, and basically told ... oh well. This is unacceptable from Grappone that they would treat a loyal customer like this, not to mention his car, and his personal items in the car. I can't even buy a similar vehicle in the condition mine was from what I received as a "payout".
All reviews on here that are positive seem to focus on $ale of new and used cars ... But when it comes to service and repair, go elsewhere, or you might suffer the same fate I did.
I have photos taken with my cell phone to back all of my statements, plus the original video they sent.
Today I am filing complaints against Grappone Toyota of Bow N.H. with the BBB and the NH AG. read more
