Very unprofessional practices. Please beware this dealership does not take federal credit union payments or tries to verify them, they steer to push for there financing. read more

I had no intention of buying a Lexus, since I was a 40 year customer of Toyota. After owning most Toyota models over the years, I reached saturation and impulsively stopped in to Lexus of Smithtown to prove how stupid it would be to pay so much more for-the same - with a little fluff. The upscale environment, courtesies towards customers and friendliness of the staff drew me in and the deal was sealed with the Gloriana. Her knowledge of the cars, adeptness with technology, and genuine caring way encouraged me to consider the leap. There was no pressure, just a pervasive sense of 'why not." Since that day last summer, we have purchased two RX350h vehicles and couldn't be happier. The staff is outstanding and Gloriana is a miracle worker! read more

Updated I want to thank Matthew C for telling the truth as per my conversation about the L cert car for sale. It was exactly what I was looking for and would have made my 40 mile trip from Queens wroth while. Now with Phil the sales manger, it's really not nice for you to tell me It sounded like Matthew C through Shawn under the buss, Matthew C told me the truth and that should be expected to me as a returning customer to Smith town and Lexus customer. It's really not nice for you to coverup shabby incompetent work by your staff. Maybe you should not be working at a Lexus dealer ship but instead a Ford or Nissan, because your response is exactly what I would expect from them. I was there about a week or two ago., I drove all the way from Queens to Smith town since my previous Lexus LS 400 was purchased there. I was looking for a used 2022 RX350 with fog lights and Nav. I met with Shawn and he asked if he could assist me. We walked around the lot looking for something that had the features I wanted. Two days ago I saw they had the exact model I was looking for on there web site. I called to see if I could make and appointment. I was told that the car was just sold and it had been there for about 30 days which mean it was there at the time I was there. The person who told me it was sold verified the date I was there and asked me who assisted me, I replied Shawn. He asked me if Shawn checked the inventory. I said no we just walled around.The whole lot and the used car building. I received a text message about a week ago, which I respond today and I asked to speak to Phil. Today Phil and I spoke on the issue that had arisen. Phil R I don't know what happened to Smith Town Lexus since the last time I was there in 92 but you telling me Mat threw Shawn under the buss is not correct ( The truth is a hard pill to swallow ) Mat was trying to assist me in finding out what happened not sweeping the dust under the rug or not doing his due diligence like Shawn should have. I am really quite upset with your response and Shawn's work ethic. You are not Ford!!! To add, Is how to treat a Loyal Lexus / Smith town Customer? I would expect this from from Ford not Lexus . This is very unprofessional place from the top down which you have just proved to me. Those pin strips were done by A special Guy at Lexus of smith town.. Also if it wasn't for people like me buying the original 90's Lexus LS 400 your dealership would not be there. Think about that next time you have a reality check!!! read more

Over pricing on used car inventories, then refused to negotiate, in fact when the final cost czme out I reversed the calculstions and the price came out in excess of the advertidedm' price,'. The sales person was powerless and had to run back to his :"manager' with any offer I made, The manger failed to show his face to speak directly to me. Had there been any flexibility I would likely have bought the car but it was creepy as it was it was off putting how the "manager' HID while giving the sales person the dirty job of trying to convey the offers, coming out from the managers office like dog with its tail between its legs. On. positive side the sales person was kind and respectful and did what he wae told which included bAd news. I can easily say the if shown some flexibility this deal might have gone through. Read the negative reviews and you will see the pattern of running into th hiding mange"s office as well as attempts to add to the price of the vehicle. I hope the REAL owner gets to read this review so he can see how much business he is losing from poor reviews. I would have loved to have done business with this dealership as they are close to home. lj q \ 11 111\\]\]\] 11 and como; and read more

We've been buying and servicing our cars here for many years. The staff and service department (Dan) are always exceptional!!! With our most recent purchase we had a young salesman who was just OUTSTANDING! Justin was simply put an exceptional guy from start to finish! Having been at the Senior Sales level my entire career with being acknowledged for sales excellence, I can say Justin will be your man for your purchases for many years to come. Every person who touched our sale was excellent including Haley who did the Tech walkthrough on the car. Kudos to the Manager who brought these people on board and to Tim who helped finalize things. Keep up the GOOD WORK team Lexus! It's refreshing in these times to find people who really care about professionalism! Our Best, Cookie & Billy Brandofino read more

I purchased a 2024 Lexus NX hybrid on October 3, 2023 from Lexus of Smithtown for $62,160.76 ($2500 OVER MSRP). From the very first time I filled the car with gas, I noticed the gas gauge does not respond correctly. Sometimes the gas gauge goes to 3/4 when full; at others it does not respond at all or may respond two or three days later. At present the car is completely full of gas and registers as 3/4 fill. I have brought the car back to Lexus three times now, and they insist, "There are no abnormal conditions present with this vehicle." I posted my problem on Lexus forums and received this response: "Unable to repair" actually means "don't want to repair". The NX service manual,which all dealers have access to online, provides a simple 3-step process to determine what component is at fault. This is not rocket science; the NX fuel level measurement technology dates back to the 1930s, so more than 80 years old. Refer to attached image copied from the non-hybrid model manual. After running the 3-step diagnostic, there will be one of these 3 repair options suggested: 1. Replace the fuel sender assembly; 2. Replace the instrument gauge cluster (called "combination meter" by Lexus); 3. Repair the wiring harness or connector(s) between the sender and gauge. NONE of these solutions (which apparently are all quite involved) has been done. I am a repeat customer of Lexus of Smithtown and have driven Lexus cars for many years. I could not be more disappointed with this dealership and with their lack in repairing this issue. 1/29/2024 - JUST FILLED THE CAR WITH GAS.RIGHT TO THE BRIM. CAN'T GET ANOTHER DROP IN! AS I DROVE OUT OF THE GAS STATION, THE GAS GAUGE WENT DOWN! "There are no abnormal conditions present with this vehicle." read more

My first Lexus and best car shopping experience ever. No bargaining back and forth, no unexpected fees when signing. We have the best saleswoman ever: Samantha. She is precise, professional, efficient, knowledgable and understands the need of customers. She is not pushy but instead tries to work with you. We are attracted to Lexus' reliability and parts and service ( loaner car available ) but Samantha got us sold finally. The price she quote was the price we paid. No hidden or extra fee. Nice and simple. Car was ready when we got there. Technician explained the car operation to us patiently. Everyone is knowledgable and all my questions answered. I wish I have come here sooner before all those horrible car shopping experiences in the past! I would recommend Lexus from Smithtown ( expecially Samantha ) to all my friends and church communities. You don't have to buy right away. Just come and talk to Samantha. She is understanding and gives you no pressure. Again, this is our best car shopping experience ever! read more

This dealership is a compilation of crooks. I recently leased a vehicle from them and in the fine print of the lease paperwork they inflated the Agreed Upon Value of the Vehicle (Lease item #13) by over $1000 above what we discussed. Since I signed the lease, they said I had no standing. read more

I always service my Lexus here. They are fair, fast, and easy to book an appointment at.

Had a problem with my 2023, RX350. Not knowing what the problem was, I took it to Smithtown service. I was given a price of over $5,000 to fix it. A week later they told me to pick up my car. I got there to see the bill of over $7,000. Surprise !!!!! I can't believe this I did not authorize this plus I can't afford it Gave them their car and left. Do not take your car there to get fixed. This is a person that bought 5 cars from Smithtown Lexus. The cars are great but the service is worse than poor. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR "FREE" INSPECTION DONE HERE. They take it as an opportunity to gouge you. I went yesterday for inspection and they were still up to their same old tricks, I refused and they failed the car... Today I went to Mavis and the car passed without incident. Two years ago I went in for a "free" inspection... They came up with so many lies that I took the car elsewhere the car passed in an instant with flying colors... That's when I realized that they use the inspection as an opportunity to scam money from customers. They lure us in with the promise of a free inspection... I purchased my Lexus from the Lexus of Smithtown location a few years ago. I drive to the city everyday for work so I needed a car that passes the "Clean Pass" law so that I could drive in the HOV lane saving me time during rush hour to and from work... This was the primary reason for me purchasing a vehicle at that time. The sales person told me that the Lexus CT had the clean pass... so I went through the process and purchased the car based on what he told me then... Turns out, HE LIED. So I spent $35,000 on a car based on a lie... I sat in traffic for years. Fast forward to August 2021 and the people are still very shady. Being that I purchased the Lexus brand new at Smithtown, they offer free NYS vehicle inspection. I spent $800 on new tires the day before the inspection and had the car pre-inspected at the tire location... they said the car had all its fluids, there were no lights on, all the wipers and other lights that were suppose to be on were and were in good working condition.... So off I went to Lexus to get the car officially inspected. I arrive at 7:50am for my 8am appointment. They take the car and I sign a paper at the desk and go sit in the waiting area. Over an hour later, I am still waiting. People that came in after me left before me. To the point where the whole waiting room cleared out and now new people are coming in... I go and ask how much longer and they say not too long... 30 minutes later, I'm still waiting and now the new people that came in left already... finally they call me and start to try and scam me... I believe making me wait that long was a tactic to get me invested in the time I put in so that I agree more readily to the charges they make up..They tell me that my windshield wipers are bad... meanwhile we just had several days of rain and storms and I drove with the wipers just fine. Next they tell me that my license plate bulbs need replacement and that they are "dim" Last, they tell me that NYS law has changed last year (which it did not) and that my window tints are too dark. I know for a fact NYS tint laws were enacted since 1991 and were only amended in 2017 to require that tints be inspected as a part of the overall yearly vehicle inspection process. The sales guy tried to lie to me and tell me that the law changed and that I now had to pay them to remove my tints, THAT THE CAR CAME WITH from THEM! Plus, they aren't even dark! You see right through them! How incredibly dishonest! If that was even true, which I know for a fact it's not, the actual dealership/ maker would be responsible for removing the tints, just as with recalls that no longer meet state or federal laws, especially since I purchased the car brand new from the maker. Luckily I'm very familiar with tint laws because I tinted the heck out of my BMW, so I was able to stop him dead in his lying tracks. I feel so bad for elderly people that come here... These people should really be ashamed of themselves, I'm sure they have quotas to meet but this is stealing, this is thievery. So I tell him to give me my car back. They make me wait an additional 15 minutes to give me my car. When he hands me my key he tells me that I have a $41 bill. I said, no absolutely not! For what??? Making me wait 2 hours to be lied to??? Inspections are free... He said yes but you had me fail the vehicle. ???? No where does it say you have to pass to get the inspection free... This is really low life behavior... Like what is $42 to try and steal from someone? They made things up the whole way, even up to the last moment to try and extract some money from me, even if it was less than $50. I refused and asked him to show me where the lies he is telling me is written. He said, it's fine I can just go... Beware, especially the elderly.. Best to just go to you local mechanic and pay them $37 instead of getting a padded bill from these SCAMMERS. You will never walk out of there with a free inspection, and if they tell you something about a law, be sure to do your own homework. They are not honest brokers and will do anything for a dollar. I've attached a picture... these are the windows that they said were too dark. read more

Regretfully, Yelp does not allow zero stars. My father has owned beautiful, luxury cars for over 20 years. The worst service he has had, not once, but twice was at this Lexus dealer. When he walked in both times he was COMPLETELY ignored by the sales people. The second time I saw it for myself. We are African American and are suspicious that that has something to do with the terrible service. Anyhoo, Dad took his business to the Lincoln dealership in Bay Shore and got a beautiful Lincoln SUV with stellar, unbiased customer service. If you are person of color, you may want to reconsider giving Lexus of Smithtown your business. read more

Had a great experience buying our first Lexus (RX350). Our salesperson Shawn Janusz is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is easy to talk to, knowledgable and accommodating. Pricing/negotiation was straight forward and without trickery. Finance Manager was not overly pushy when selling the usual extended warranty and wheel coverage etc. On delivery, car was waiting for me in the shade to keep cool and the tech specialist did a good job explaining all the features of the car. Overall I am happy with this dealership and would return for future purchase. read more

As a long-time Lexus owner, I'm very disappointed with the quality of customer service and integrity of this dealership. I wanted to believe this was a one-off situation and the pre-owned L/CERTIFIED car we purchased, which was a lemon, just fell through the gaps and somehow passed the pre-owned certification test.. but after reading through many reviews throughout many different sites, I have come to believe this dealership takes advantage of non-routine or out-of-state customers (maybe just non-regional).. HORRIBLE. This is extremely disappointing and completely un-called for from a luxury vehicle company. The vehicle I purchased was stated to be in excellent condition, but there were many flaws, which should be covered under warranty but took a great deal of back-and-forth before they decided warranty would cover a partial cost of fixing it... from a seatbelt that doesn't retract correctly (causing the door to not close all the way, hitting the seatbelt each time), to "minor" scratches across the bottom of the and the rims of the vehicle... I thought both cosmetics and performance of the vehicle were guaranteed at the time of purchase?? Sooo not worth it if you're trying to buy a vehicle as a one-time customer type of thing, but I suppose if you have the $$$$ to throw around, go forth and get your Lexus here! read more

I bought my Lexus July 2017. I was diligent in having it serviced at the suggested time. It was usually twice a year. I had no problems and trusted the service agent would suggest all the work that needed to be done according to mileage. In April of 2024, I had a problem. My carpets were wet, and my radio amplifier did not work. The problem was clogged sunroof drains. It flooded my car. I was handed an estimate of $8,821.93 for carpet, padding, mold, and amplifier. I have looked over all my invoices for 7 years. Not once did they clean the drains or inform me that I needed to do it. It was not in the owner's manual. I spent $5,865.36 at that dealership for service in those 7 years. I sold the car at a loss and got a Nissan. I am so disappointed because I loved that car. Just a warning about checking your sunroof drains. The agents should take note. read more

My first brand new car . Shawn the sales person was patient and knowledgeable. Any question I had he was able to answer it . very happy!

REMOTE START: So the only way to have remote start with a Lexus, is to have the app on your phone, and you have to pay an annual fee of 89+ dollars to have it. The conditions have to be perfect in order for you to use it. You must have wi-fi available, and no interference, you can not use it if your car has not been started for 5 days. I travel and leave my car but want to warm it up before I get home and in it. Last trip it would not start because it was over 5 days unused, so this trip I started it remotely after 3 days, then did it again after another 4. I am going back to cold weather in 2 days and now it is telling me it will not start again remotely because it was done twice already and not driven so it will not remote start again until there are occupants and driven. WTF! such a waste of money! They don't have remote start with a key, ONLY Remote with the app and ONLY if you pay annually for it, the cars are expensive enough, should not have to pay for that as well! It should be a benefit of owning a Lexus! Love my car but hate feeling held hostage to use remote. read more

Lexus of Smithtown gave us a " DECEMBER to REMEMBER "on Dec .28, 2023. We had a deal that was offered by the Sales Manager which was to close today ,Jan. 2 , 2024 . After 2 hours with the salesperson and test driving the new Lexus RX350 the sales person came out of the back office and said they would not honor the offer because our 2021 Lexus RX350 , which we are leasing from Lexus of Smithtown NY. , has a recall that no-one has been notified about and there is no longer any equity value to the car. They offered a new deal which would have resulted in a substantial increase on the new lease monthly payment. When we contacted LEXUS Financial they were incredulous and suggested we go to a different dealership because Lexus would be be required to repair any recalls and that will not affect the value of the car. After 20 years and 5 leases with this dealership we are very disappointed with Lexus of Smithtown and would caution using them and follow the Corporate Office and use a different Lexus dealership. Hope you fare better! We are very disappointed. P&E Mullady of Mt.Sinai read more

Absolute horrible service!! I had my vehicle towed there and after waiting 3 hours the rude service advisor, Robert Romano informed me that they won't accept third party insurance payments when Lexus sold the tire insurance. I had to call the dealership that I purchased it from for them to try and mediate things. The manager Dan was just as rude and still did not honor the tire insurance even though they were previously paid immediately for previous tires. Dan had the nerve to say he's divorced and he wants his job. I never received such deplorable customer service in the history of me owning cars. I will NEVER patronage this establishment again! read more

On June 20th, I had an incident at the dealership where they randomly charged me $292.00 without my knowledge. Did not inform me upon arrival that they may be a charged. When my truck was ready, I noticed it was far in the back and Shakira handed me my invoice without confessing to me in the beginning they may be a charged. I called the following day and spoke with Dan from service department who is very unprofessional. He promised me he would call me back within couple days after he spoke with Shakira and come up with a resolution. I called twice a week later and Dan is clearly ignoring me. I just called the dealership and spoke to a women in the service department who was very rude to me and hung up my call as I was very polite. She tells me Dan "will call me" when the system is back up. I called back after she hung up and was trying to reach the service department and they was ignoring my call. What is shady going on over there? Even though the system "been down" in the last 3 weeks. That is not my fault or problem. I disputed the charge, reported the issue to Lexus consumer affairs and I am not done yet. That lady should not be hanging up the clients calls and ignoring calls as Dan is as well. My first and last Lexus from Lexus of Smithtown. Shame on Lexus of Smithtown staff. read more

We put a deposit on a pre-owned vehicle of $1000.00 on my Amex on September 25th, after 4 calls to the salesperson and texts no refund as of today October 4th. I know they are a strong dealership they just dont value a relationship if you decide not to purchase. They obviously do not have a concern to expedite, so i just put a charge back request through with credit card company, very difficult, time consuming and totally unnecesary. If only they refund as fast as they took my deposit. Not what to expect from a premium auto dealership. Its all about SERVICE!!! read more

I took my car here after the attempted swindle for fake repairs determined by Lexus of Manhattan . I didn't trust their "diagnostic" , stating my car needed a brand new harness . Sharkira my advisor was straight to the point , my car was looked over and in a day was told what was wrong , they fixed it in less than a day and I drove my car off . I didn't have to wait endless amount of days like at Lexus of Manhattan and my advisor was professional , she kept me updated with cost and repair transparency which is A+ in my book. My faith in the brand was restored thanks to Lexus of smithtown and I'll be back when I upgrade to a newer model , thanks to all the staff and my service advisor sharkira at Lexus of Smithtown. read more

I just leased my third vehicle from this amazing team and my experience gets better every time. Abbas Rajani and Denis Plourde made the process completely seamless and simple. They're both been extremely thorough throughout the entire deal...providing me with detailed information at each step. Abbas delivered my new NX300 tonight and spent almost an hour and a half ensuring that my car was set up perfectly for my needs and making sure that I was clear on how to use all the new features, especially those that were different from what I'd been used to in my last vehicle. They truly make you feel like family. My overall experience with Lexus of Smithtown for the past six years has been so positive that I've referred several friends to them who are all now customers. read more

Classic bait & switch with all the usual games between salesperson and manager! Made a handshake deal, gave $1,000 deposit, and completed credit app only to be told by their finance guy that, "There's been a mistake and the sales manager ok'd numbers on the wrong car". Giving them the benefit of the doubt we didn't walk out right then but instead asked if they would honor the deal. The sales manager, who couldn't seem to get his story straight with the salesperson and the finance manager, wouldn't honor their deal and out the door we went. We'll never be back, and I'll repeat this story to anyone who will listen. read more

I purchased a 2017 Lexus RX in October I received some assistance from a newly employed sales man , however I found I had to be proactive to receive answers and my concerns resolved. Taking the initiative to resolve concerns about remote start being included was necessary, etc. .I wanted the vehicle so I went forward and purchased it. It continued until I had to schedule a meeting with a 'IT' man to review the vehicles' newer features. I was a previous Lexus owner. I then reccomended a friend who purchased a 2020 Lexus. A Lexus "benefit" was assured. To date , I have left messages for the salesman Shaun and the manager Salmon . Several days have passed an there is no response. This is a pattern with Lexus of Smithtown . They are eager to make the sale and non-responsive once they have the sale. Extremely disappointed . read more

This is the fourth Lexus I have leased from this dealership. I assure you there will not be a fifth. Obviously I was happy with the others. The quality of this car has declined significantly. I have had it barely a month and it has been in for service twice, and I have a list of additional issues. But honestly the main issue is the staff at this dealership. No one cares. No one responds. My salesperson refuses to respond to my questions. I sent an email to the dealership outlining my concerns- a guy named Bill called me and left me a message saying he wanted to talk; I called him right back and never heard from him again. I spoke to Dan who heads up service, and he was straight- up rude to me. I encourage you to get a different car, as 2 of my family members also have new Lexus cars and are having a lot of problems. But if you are committed to buying a Lexus, just trust me, go to a different dealership. This place has no loyalty. I have bought four cars from there, and that doesn't even warrant a call back. I have been appropriate to them always. I have no idea who is managing this dealership, as there is a culture of apathy. Awful. read more
