      I ordered parts from the Sparks Parts website on 8/30/24. I was told by email that my parts where on order and would arrive 3 to 6 business days and would be shipped directly to my address when they arrived. Its now 9/23/24 and still have not received my package. Ive tried contacting with text and email multiple times and absolutely no response from them. They have left me completely in the dark about my order and there is no way to talk to a real person to resolve this issue.

      I bought a Toyota Tundra in May and the next day the brakes started making noise, I called Toyota and the lady said it was just dew on them hers does the same thing. It kept doing it and I called and complained and got the Tundras have a problem but no recall has been set yet so they cant fix the brakes. The brakes are now doing the noise more frequently and grinding really loud . When we pull to a stop everyone within a two block radius can hear us. Toyota is not willing to give rental or any concessions to alleviate problem.

      I took my car in for a repair on 6/25/24, they diagnosed that the radio system was fried and they would order the part which was still under warranty. My mileage was at *****, it was a 2022 Toyota RAV4, ********************************************************** $50.00 and the part, the part didnt come in for almost a month, by the time it came in my mileage was up to ******. I was told to bring the car back in for the repair on August *******. While I was waiting I was just looking at other cars on the lot when I was approached by a salesman(*********************), I told him I was just looking to killtime. He showed me a truck then disappeared, he had also asked what was wrong with my car before he disappeared. When he showed back up he asked me if I knew the repair on my car was going to cost me $8000.00, I told him no it was only supposed to cost me $50.00 and the part, he continued to tell me that they were going to pull the whole wiring harness out of the car and basically rewire the whole thing, and more than likely I will continue to have problems with the car. I didnt know what to do, I didnt have that kind of money for a repair like that, I traded the car, now I have a leased truck that will never be mine, the car was half paid for. They sent me a survey and I filled it out, I guess they didnt like the way I answered the survey and they called me and questioned me about it, a couple days later they a lady named ****** called me and wanted to know who told me the repair was going to cost me $8000.00, and I told her the salesman (*********************), it was at that point I was told I was lied to and the repair would have only cost $50.00. I have asked them to make this right and to give me my car back, and was told they cant undo what has been done, I have talked to the owner of the car lot, he listened said give him a few hours to get to the bottom of this, and he would call me back, he never did, and now when I call they send me to the vice president.

      customer has been in contact with multiple employees of Sparks Toyota - ************************* (Customer relationship manager) - ********************* (General Manager) to discuss her concerns -- customer decided to lease her vehicle and has told us that she is unhappy that she does not own the vehicle -- we have tried to explain that if she had purchased the vehicle with an installment loan thru a bank she would also technically not own the vehicle as well.  We have also explained that she has the option of purchasing the vehicle at the end of the lease.  As the lease contract along with registration documentation has already been processed and put in the customers name -- we cannot simply undo the deal.  The customer does have the option to trade her vehicle in with us or any other dealership.

      They have not discussed anything with me, they know I was lied to me if I wasnt lied to I would not have traded. I didnt feel like I had any other option when a $50 repair goes to $8000. They took advantage of me and they havent even returned my calls, the people I spoke to were just concerned about my survey answers, and they are the ones that told me they lied to me.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I was not aware that they lied to me till after I filled out the survey, that information was given to me after they didnt like my response to the survey. They are the ones that told me I was lied to before that I believed what I was told. Regardless what my mileage was the warranty should have been honored because the car was under ****** when the issue was diagnosed. Also if all the paperwork on this truck has been done, why do I not have a tag, the paper tag expired 9-9-24, and they wont return calls about the tag, so now I have a vehicle thats not legal to be on the road. They could at least apologize, at this point its not needed. I would be ashamed if my business was run like this, CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! I need everything with this truck to transfer to another dealer.

      I am rejecting this because Im still have a vehicle with no tags, my license has been changed to NC for a month or so now and still no tags, and now theyre telling me if I drive this truck and get caught Ill be responsible for the fines. How am I supposed to get to my dr.s appointments? They keep saying they have talked to me, I suggest they pull their phone logs because there have been no calls made to me. This company seems to full of a lot of liars, but I guess they have had plenty of time to cover their own buts. There is a reason mechanics dont like sales people, theyll lie to make a sale.

      Purchased Parts from Dealership online 8/13/2024 (Order # ******). Dealership confirmed the parts I ordered where on national backorder from Toyota. Learning this information I instructed the dealership to cancel the order and I would work with my local dealership to obtain these parts. They replied to my email and confirmed the cancel on 8/20/2024. Allowing a week to pass, Spark Parts will not respond to any form of communication.

      My husband and I came to ************ for vacation on Saturday August 10th. On our way there, our new Toyota Tundra started giving us trouble. Further into our trip, we experienced increased issues, having to stop periodically as we were traveling. So we made an Appt with Sparks. Once we dropped the vehicle off on Thursday the 15th we received a text message that the spark plugs were not gapped properly. Towards the end of the business day, it was decided by service that the truck would need to be kept another day. So, the next day we were notified that the truck was ready. Then, we were told they didnt feel comfortable releasing the vehicle back to us, and would arrange a tow for the truck back to our home dealership in **, and provide us a comparable rental.Hours go by and we call back, as we were checking out the following day. No rental had been secured and towing our truck back to ** was no longer an option.We then proceeded to get our home dealership involved because we were stranded at this point with no way home. Sparks service manager explained he was no longer willing to help us. I had to secure our own rental due to the business day being so close to ending. Our home dealership had to help us get home. So someone had to step in from ** while we were in **************. On Monday, August 19th, Advantage called to speak with Sparks about the status of our truck. On Tuesday, Advantage called Sparks multiple times with no success or response. On Wednesday August 21st, Advantage was told by Sparks that the truck is running fine, without making any repairs and that it was drivable. Advantage requested a borescope test. Advantage attempted a call to Sparks Thursday morning around 8:30 August 22nd with no response. At around 2:00 Thursday August 22nd, Advantage was still trying to get someone at Sparks to speak with them. As of Thursday August 22nd, not one person from Sparks has made any attempt to reach out to me or my husband since August 16th.

      unfortunately the customer's recollection of events do not match ours -- however we have call logs and a recording of the phone call from the customer to our service manager - ***********************.  While we understand that the customer was upset -- we will not tolerate any of our employees to be spoken too like *************** spoke to our service manager **************.  The customer is in contact with their selling dealer and presumably they have opened a warranty case with Toyota -- so we will hold the vehicle here until one of those parties updates us on how they want to proceed.  We will not have any further contact with the customers.  We can provide a recording of the phone call upon request.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      My husband was cussing out of frustration and panic in how we were going to get home. He did not call anyone names, he was characterizing a very frustrating situation. We were on vacation, with a brand new truck that had only been in our possession for 2-3 weeks. I would very much like to have the recordings of the calls myself because I think it would give everything more context. We also have text messages as these conversations took place over cell phones.

      we have advised the customer to contact **********************'s *********************** and provided the 800 # -- that is the best and only recourse to move forward.  The warranty on the Tundra is between the customer and ********************** and that should be the main focus (also something we have advised the customer on).  The customer should have already opened a case and been provided a contact and case # so that corporate Toyota can follow their specific issue -- the customer MUST initiate this contact -- the dealer cannot do this on their behalf.  This will be the last response we provide and we consider this matter closed.

      Sparks Toyota general manager refuses to service my 2023 Toyota vehicles which both came with free 24 month maintenance agreements/oil changes for 24 months at ANY Toyota dealership in the **.

      06/13/2024

      As with most of the interactions we have had with this person -- he has intentionally omitted parts of the story to suit his narrative. This particular person has made it his mission to be difficult to deal with and hostile to our employees.  He claims to have bought multiple Toyotas elsewhere due to lower price and better service -- obviously he found those stores to purchase from once -- he can certainly find them again for service.  We have explained to this person that we are choosing to focus our time and energy on our existing customer base rather than arguing with him via Toyota or email. 
      As for his demand  ---  the ToyotaCare service that came with his vehicle is still available to him at other Toyota locations assuming mileage and term limits haven't expired.  This is our final response

      Purchased four sets of the same part number. I was sent one correct part and three incorrect parts. I called them to let them know of the issue and they said they would get three of the correct parts sent out. I waited for weeks but nothing arrived. I called again and they said that they would not send out the correct parts until I sent back the incorrect parts. It has been 5 months and I am still waiting for the parts that I ordered and paid for to arrive. I would be happy to send back the incorrect parts they sent by mistake once I receive the parts that I ordered and paid for.

      This customer was handled over a month ago, this became a very difficult transaction with a $80.82 order. We were in constant communication with the customer to assist him with his return. We even reached out as a final touch base and never heard back. He then placed a chargeback with us and was given this money back. Currently, he still has the 4 original parts, and has been refunded his money. Not sure what else we could possibly do -- this will be our final response  and we will no longer being doing business with this customer

      It is my understanding the customer contacted Amex several weeks ago.  Amex then debited the $ from my account -  in order to credit the customer.  It is her responsibility to update you when she received her money back from Amex unfortunately she had so many frivolous complaints ongoing against us she forgot about the one she filed with you.  I did not update this as her action with Amex was ongoing before she contacted your organization.

      Good Afternoon,

      After looking into the complaint, I see where there was a disconnect. I have included all the information below. There was a delay because the customers emails were sent to our Spam folder. We reached out to the customer to confirm his Vin to ensure we had the correct parts. 

      I will expedite his paint order and send you a completion date. I will make sure this is feasible with the storm pending and confirm a shipment date for the customer.

      Here is the timeline of events that caused this issue:

      As of now this order is in process. The order was placed on 7/06. We reached out the same day (7/06) to the customer to confirm the Vin to ensure he ordered the correct parts for his vehicle. We did not receive a response. We gave the customer time to confirm his Vin but with no confirmation, we went ahead and pushed the order through on 7/31.
      Initially, it looks like the customers emails went directly to Spam. I have included the screenshots below. I pulled the email from Spam and it looks like the customer reached out to confirm the Vin, but we never received his email because it was marked as spam.
      We had conversations with this customer via text, but it was support questions prior to his order and not related to his order status. 

    Some consumers may elect to not publish the details of their complaints, some complaints may not meet BBB's standards for publication, or BBB may display a portion of complaints when a high volume is received for a particular business.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
