This dealership is part of Phaeton Auto Group. Avoid! My parents bought a used 2019 Toyota Corolla LE on my behalf at the end of Aug 2019 from this dealership's sister dealership, Richmond Hill Hyundai. H My parents bought a used 2019 Toyota Corolla LE on my behalf at the end of Aug 2019 from this dealership's sister dealership, Richmond Hill Hyundai. However considering my experience, I am recommending that the entire dealership group — including Thornhill Hyundai — be avoided. Why? Short story: They screwed up with the legal paperwork, and didn’t deliver on everything in the contract, then ghosted me. I asked for reasonable compensation, they gave me a lowball counteroffer, and when I was willing to accept on one minor condition, they refused to negotiate AND asked me to sign a release form so that I can't post any truthful reviews. The full story: - The actual sale facilitated by the salesperson GS was seamless, although he did refuse to fill the gas tank up to the max when the car was delivered (rude, but not the end of the world). The car was driven off the lot a week later; no problems with performance 2.5 months later. - After taking ownership, I noticed a discrepancy in the paperwork. The sale agreement stated that the maximum distance driven on the car was ~16000km, while the odometer reading on the safety certificate (dated two days after the bill of sale was drafted and the car had been purchased) was ~18100km. - After taking the car and "closing" the sale, there were also a few other items that I had yet to receive, such as carpet mats and the paint pen (actually signed on in the sale agreement) as well as the full vehicle manual. - Throughout all of September, we attempted to contact GS several times about these two items. GS responded with one one-liner email and more verbal promises to follow up, then communications from him ceased. - By the first week of October (4-5 weeks after the car had been driven off the lot), we escalated to DG, the dealership's sales manager. DG also promised to immediately follow up and personally mail the items, but just like GS, he ghosted us too and all calls would be sent to voicemail. - Approaching late October, I escalated once more to Kiron Singh (KS), the dealership's general manager, mentioning that no response by October 25th would result in escalation to OMVIC and Toyota Canada. KS did respond in time however he revealed that he had just ordered the carpet mats, the manual, and the paint pen (8 WEEKS after the car had been driven off the lot). He also said that the discrepancy in the paperwork was due to an error in the bill of sale, which (in his words) "should have been updated at time of purchase", and therefore the correct distance was the higher one on the safety certificate. - I requested compensation for the error and the poor communication in the form of a $300 gas gift card. The $300 was determined via the difference in average sale price between a 2019 Toyota Corolla LE driven 16000km and driven 18000km. The gift card was requested to avoid the possibility of running into any further problems with the dealership (because honestly I had no more trust in them), however I did mention that I was open to other forms of compensation with similar value (e.g., annual service checkup). - KS made a counteroffer of 4 oil changes. I again asked for the $300 gift card, restated the reasoning, and also mentioned that compensation in the form of oil changes would have to be higher than 4 as I don’t live anywhere near Richmond Hill. - KS responded that apparently Richmond Hill Hyundai’s policy is to charge $0.05/km, therefore 2000km = $100, and the only option for compensation was via oil changes. - Fed up by this point, I said I would accept the oil changes if they could be done at any dealership within Phaeton Auto Group, including Thornhill Hyundai. However KS said that the oil changes could only be redeemed at Richmond Hill Hyundai, AND ONLY AFTER A FULL AND FINAL RELEASE FORM IS SIGNED. - Upon asking for the terms of the release, I was simply told it was "to ensure that there will be no further action taken towards [them] (no further compensation)," and that "this also includes actions [on] social media." Now, why should you care about my experience if the dealerships are different? Because according to OMVIC: - KS is only a Sales Manager, for both Richmond Hill Hyundai AND Thornhill Hyundai. - KS is also listed as a Salesperson for Richmond Hill Toyota. - The General Manager of Richmond Hill Hyundai is officially listed as John Welsh. He is also listed as the General Manager for Richmond Hill Toyota and Thornhill Hyundai. So, again: unless you’re willing to risk having a poor experience like mine, DON’T buy from this dealership! AVOID PHAETON AUTO GROUP COMPLETELY including their other dealerships: - Richmond Hill Hyundai - Richmond Hill Toyota - Toyota Town (in London, ON) - Lexus of London (If this review eventually disappears, assume that either the compensation to sign the release form was much better than the original offer, or that any negative reviews are being censored.)

Recall This was my first visit since I bought a demonstrator vehicle. Since I keep meticulous records of service on any vehicle I own, I asked for and receiv This was my first visit since I bought a demonstrator vehicle. Since I keep meticulous records of service on any vehicle I own, I asked for and received all the service records for the vehicle for the period before I owned the vehicle. I took the vehicle in for two recalls. The staff were very friendly and the vehicle was ready when they said it would be. The only issue I had when I picked it up was that the outside temperature now showed Fahrenheit, not Celsius as it was when I took it in. I had to look up in the manual to change it back to the proper temperature. More

Service appointment for recall and oil change was efficient. Service were pleasant and arranged a shuttle ride back and forth from dealer. However, they use Uber as their shuttle service and I was efficient. Service were pleasant and arranged a shuttle ride back and forth from dealer. However, they use Uber as their shuttle service and I was uncomfortable with one of the drivers as he was not familiar with the surrounding area and he could not understand English when I gave him verbal directions. I would have preferred a dedicated shuttle driver from the dealer as they would be familiar with the roads within the shuttle boundaries. More

The place was managed by Greg C. at the time and I appreciated his approval to have the vehicle checked inside out. When it came to the paperwork, Carina and Daniel made me jump through hoops. However, they were very polite and constructive throughout the whole process so in the end, all worked out really well. More
