Hi everybody, I would like to ask everybody to beware of a local car dealership in our area. Initially I thought I was the only one affected, but have now learned it’s bigger than just me.
November of 2022 I purchased a 200 series Land Cruiser from Eastlake Auto Brokers, an independent dealership who claims to specialize in LC/LX’s. This truck was cleaned up very well, and had no signs of anything wrong with it. In the last 9 months, I have had several tows to the local Toyota dealership, and spent over $25,000 dollars to keep this truck on the road. After speaking with a trusted tech at Toyota, he mentioned every time a customer’s vehicle comes in with an Eastlake plate cover, they prepare for a big project.
This tech used to work at the Toyota dealership adjacent to Eastlake. He says they were constantly having cars towed in, asking for the bare minimum to get the car running, and turning them into profit.
In an attempt to protect the community, please take this into consideration while looking at a vehicle from this business.
Thank you.
