Getting an appointment made is very fast and easy. Not a fan of some upsells, or miscommunication between warranties and Service advisors. Was given a price for a transmission oil service that was quoted with tax...when we got to check out I was charged tax, and an additional cots of the service because "the proce had increased"... would have liked to know the exact price before I decided to agree for the service. Other than that, I do like the text updates for my vehicle, and the time stated for service is usually accurate. This is my 3rd toyota I've serviced throgh them, and I can say the above is always pulled at somepoint.

Jared Cain was my contact. He asked me what I needed done and follow through with that. He came to me about an alignment problem and sent me pictures and explained the problem. I had a time frame that I needed to follow and he was able to get me on the road in time for me to get to my next appointment

I always have a terrific experience at Lia Toyota when my car is serviced. The customer service representatives are friendly and efficient. If there are any issues, they explain it to me in a way that I understand since I'm a complete novice to any car issues. I don't ever feel like they take advantage of me. I also appreciate that when the service center may be running a bit behind, they let me know upfront. My car is still under warranty, but even when that runs out, I will still be using Lia Toyota for all my service needs!

Art Palazzolo and his team did a great job with the service on my Toyota. My questions were answered, and (to mention only one helpful discovery), the source of a rattle near the front of my vehicle was discovered. I had thought that I had correctly identified the source of the rattle, but I was wrong. (By the way, I am using my wife's computer, so my name is incorrectly identified. I am Royce P. Jones.)

I recently visited Lia Toyota Service Center in Colonie for a 10,000 mile service. My appointment was easy to schedule online. Colby Klob greeted me immediately and got the process started. He went over the process thoroughly and explained all that would be done. I also had a problem with a tire that had to be addressed. While my car was being serviced, Colby kept me informed of the progress. He was engaging and professional throughout. My visit was a pleasant one and I will not hesitate to return in the future.

I own a 2012 Toyota Rav-4 which I purchased at this dealership. This is the third car Ive bought there. The Rav-4 has over 240,000 miles on it. And l only go to this dealership for service. My service rep is Marinda Tingly whom l request every time. She is just wonderful having been blessed with a winsome personality, high intelligence and quite competent automotive knowledge. She knows the history of my vehicle, and works with the technicians to make sensible service recommendations. This last visit, the SUV needed work done on the fuel system, the transmission assembly and the front breaks. Marinda set me up with UBER rides so I didnt have to sit in the waiting room for the six hours it took to make the RAV-4 road ready. Aside from the above, l was due for an oil change, State inspection, wheel alignment and tire rotation. Marinda told me when to expect the car to be ready and kept me posted by text msg on how things were going. Marinda Tingly is one of the nicest people Ive ever known, and if l had a business, Id surely want her as an employee. Signed, Francis J. Gluchowski

Good things: Service Rep. Sarah Richard s was very pleasant, my car was taken when I got there, wait wasn t excessive, and she made helpful recommendations when done. Negative: They didn t wash my car as I had requested; and when I called Sarah for some clarification on a couple things I read on the paperwork after I got home, she began her response with as we discussed , like I was bothering her. I didn t appreciate that.

Update 2 stars June 2024 If you can reach someone in the Service Department (I repeatedly called and counted 25 rings before hanging up and calling the sales department. Not once but many times.) to answer the phone, they are courteous and listen well. For me the challenge has been a lack of organization and it seems like perhaps a lack of communication within the company. The actual mechanics are competent and knowledgeable. The way the place is run... I dont remember it being like this in the past. Very difficult to know whats going on. So frustrating. Good luck Lia. Original post 4 stars: Kody was great at communicating the process and results of our cars service. He was clear about next steps, but was not pushy or sales-driven.

The service team lead by Tim Ellis was prompt, communicative, and competent. They fixed what I asked for on time. Their diagnosis identified a worn belt that could have been problematic. They provided details of their process throughout the day. The price to replace the serpentine belt was fair. Tim did a workable fix of gas flap at no charge. I thought the oil change price was a bit high. Tim was clear about all costs, no surprises, and he isnt the one who sets the prices. I was pleased with the overall experience.

I have been using Lia Toyota service since about 2017? Vanessa Radley was my service provider at the time - due to the complexity of the situation- she provided unbelievable service- till this day I schedule with Vanessa every 6-8 weeks because of the trust she has built with me! This past visit was ok exception ! She works with me on times and setting up using sun bit to assist with finances! In addition- I recently encountered and situation where within 3 days of a service visit- I had a lug nut break! Vanessa Radley- once again was my service provider- and she and the team went to bat for me to get the emergency resolved! Vanessa goes above and beyond to develop a trusting and caring relationship with Lia Toyota customers! Sincerely Christopher Enk

Top notch dealer in the Albany area. Allowed my wife to try before buying at a low rental rate with Toyota Rent a Car. Even alled us to drive it out of state to Florida. Our local dealer Della Toyota in Plattsburgh was not so accommodating and made their own rules when it came to renting a Toyota. Della in Plattsburgh wouldnt allow the vehicle outside of NY or VT even though Toyota Rent a Car states that you can bring the vehicle anywhere but Mexico. Kudos to Lia Toyota. You earned our business!

My recent service at Lia Toyota of Colonie was exceptional. Vanessa Radley was terrific. She kept me informed during the service and explained why front disk brakes were necessary. She also went over the service history with me and updted my records. She was also able to identify a service discount that was available.

Service sucks here. Been sitting here waiting for my car to be inspected for almost 2 hrs (was told on phone its take 30 min). Instead of being human, and walking out to alert me it had failed i was emailed and apparently was supposed to accept or decline service for work to be done so itd pass inspection. Had no idea id been emailed and had to accept/decline work. When i asked what was taking so long and that I wanted my car back i got a hold on, im very busy. We are all busy. Ive already missed my obligation after this. I get it. It Saturday, but aside from buying Toyotas, ill never return here. Thank God these cars dont break down much. Oh... and currently still sitting and waiting in one of the most uncomfortable chairs ever with this same fly buzzing around me as it has for the past almost 2 hrs.

Thank you to my service advisor, Nicholas Mucha, at Lia Toyota for helping me with my Tundra repair under warranty. It was an involved repair and took some time to get the parts in, and for the tech to complete the work. I am glad it was under warranty!

Lia is lucky to him on their team, and he is probably the best advisor I have dealt with at that dealership since I started getting my vehicle serviced there. This is the way!
