In short, I identified and persued a certified pre-owned toyota vehicle listed by Don McGill toyota Katy, Tx. I flew across the country to purchase, and drive the vehicle back to California. On inspection, at twilight, and under the fluourescent lights it appeared clean, and in perfect condition. Toyota Certified Vehicles are presented as superior to Used Vehicles, and due to their rigorous 160 pt inspection, I should have every confidence that I do not have to inspect it as carefully. On my way back to California, I notice several details of the cars interior, and exterior that seem to be outside of the Certified standard. Once I returned home I immediately had my local Toyota dealer evaluate the car, only to make some of the same conclusions. On my behalf, they contacted Don McGill Toyota Katy Tx. and were informed that none of the items would be reveiwed, resolved, or repaird by Don Mc Gill Toyota. They also implied that I must have done all of these things while the vehicle was in my possesion. This included at least two items fundamental to the vehicles safety. I was stunned. Ive since uncovered documentation that my vehicle was driven by someone @Don McGill for nearly 2500 mi without re-Certifiying the car for my purchase. Really?? When the service light came on, they responded by suggesting that it was simply not reset. Unfortunately, the paper trail & the sticker on the window (Don McGill) suggest they are liars. Willing to put my new Toyota purchase at risk just to cover thier asses. I see now how many negative reviews there are of Don McGill. If I had known sooner I would have stayed away. STAAY AWAY!!! Theres a reason why they are not approved by the Houston Tx. Better Business Bureau!!!! Here in California, we call what theyre doing FRAUD, and we have already called the states attourneys offices in California & Texas, as well as initiating an ivestigation by our insurance company, and bank holding the note. Stay Away From Don McGill!!!! Look how many complaints!!! Embarrassing for Toyota!
