LEXUS OF AUSTIN CERTIFYS VEHICLE WITH EXTENSIVE BODY REPAIRS AND COLLISION DAMAGE With Collision work of $10000+ VIN: 2T2ZK1BA6AC019717 2010 Lexus RX350 lease to Lexus of Austin in October 2012. The vehicle has had the following repairs done: Hood repainted, Front Bumper Replaced/Rebar Replaced/Drivers Side Fender Replaced/Painted, Passenger front Door Repainted/Blended, Rear Passenger Door Skin Replaced/painted/ Rear quarter panel Painted, Rear Bumper Replaced. Multiple Suspension Damage Also.

This car has been to the body Shop 3+ Times with total amount of damages exceeding $10000.00. The collision damaged was disclosed to Randy Hoff our sales consultant. He gives us a VERY LOW trade-in value and told me that the vehicle would go to auction and could not be certified by Lexus. To my surprise I see it listed for sale on their website as “Certified Pre-Owned” I checked the service records and it was in fact certified by Lexus Of Austin. This Vehicle Was certified per service records on 10/22/2012.

Absolutely the Worst Sales And Service experience at Lexus Of Austin. They will Screw you over. They will not deal on any of their new Vehicles and will charge thousands more than the competition even when a quote is shown by a competing dealer. Michael Cobb the Sales Manager at Lexus Of Austin immediately because Very Rude and Defensive when a Competing quote from another dealer is shown. He told me i should "Trust" his pricing and that we are friends and i should not get quotes elsewhere. He claimed the other dealer was losing money. The Service Department is a Joke.

I brought my brand new Lexus in for servicing to program another Key. I received a bill later from the service advisor Jason King for a Hour of Labor to program a key. A key takes 10 Minutes to program. I NEVER Signed anything with them Authorizing the Labor Charge. When i discussed these concerns with the Service Manager Eddy Cooke he told me their is separate pricing for his services if i purchase my Vehicle from another dealership. He later refunds it after i told him i was going to call the corporate office.

They then call me into their office and my sales consultant Randy Hoff, Curtis Howard, and the general manager Steven Walker corner me in their office and harass me for buying my car elsewhere other than Lexus Of Austin and for reporting this to the Lexus Corporate office. They tell me never to bring my vehicle to their service department since i bought it from another dealer and never to step foot on their property again.

They Told me since i bought the vehicle in Dallas to service the Vehicle in Dallas. DO NOT BUY FROM LEXUS OF AUSTIN! I have personally Saved Thousands by Buying from (((competitor's name redacted))) In Dallas. Lexus Of Austin Apparently doesn't service vehicles that were not bought from them.They will give you a hard time and harass you if you service your vehicle at Lexus Of Austin and not buy the car from them. BUY FROM (((competitor's name redacted))) IN DALLAS.

EDDY COOKE SERVICE MANAGER OF LEXUS OF AUSTIN OVERCHARGES FOR SERVICE FOR VEHICLES NOT BOUGHT FROM LEXUS OF AUSTIN!!!

AUTHOR: 06lx470 - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, April 16, 2014

I Bought a 2014 Lexus GS350 F-Sport from Sewell Lexus in Dallas in December 2013. I Brought it in for Key Programing for a total of 2 Keys to be programed. Service advisor Jason King told me it would be about 15-20 Minutes. He told me it would be a $50 Programing fee. I receive a Bill from the cashier for almost $300. They Claim they spent an hour labor which they NEVER did. They did not even spend 15 Minutes.

When this issue was brought to Eddy Cooke the service Manager attention he told me that since this is a Sewell Lexus Vehicle his labor rates are different and that i would have to pay that amount to get my vehicle back. When i went to discuss this with the General Manager and Sales Manager they became VERBALLY Abusive and told me never to come back to their property again and to have any future Servicings in Dallas. I have done 25+ Vehicle Transactions from Lexus of Austin and they Treated me like garbage. Go somewhere else to buy your Lexus.
