Anonymous, TX (2000 Toyota 4Runner Base 3.4-L V6)"Actually this is a 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited purchased new. I love this car, and will drive it till it dies. I have about 175,000 Miles total on this car. I go out of my way 30 miles round trip to Libertyville Toyota Service. I bought another 2012 Toyota Corolla SD there too. I have no complaints with the service there since they take care of me like a queen. I expect excellent customer service and I get it usually. Unfortunately, I wish they would treat my son the same way. He is 25 years old, but he is not a tough consumer like me. Therefore, if a young adult customer requests a loaner for the day - and don't get it - Dealer don't expect customer loyalty if you dismiss a young customer wishes! I was not happy to find out he was not treated as well at this service appt here. I wanted son to take 2012 Toyota Corolla in for service. Don't be surprised if this Dealership get lost future business considerations when he and friends are ready to buy new vehicles."

Dan W., TX (2000 Toyota 4Runner Base 3.4-L V6)"Again, the calipers caused scarring on the rotors. The rotors had been turned previously and I decided to have them replaced entirely rather than simply grind them down....not sure if the rotors had warped"
