Steven Eagell Toyota Reviews 

I had my car serviced here and it was returned to me with the bonnet and boot covered in scratches. I would not recommend or if you do use take videos/photos of your car before you leave it there. The video of the service they do is only on the underside of the car while it is on the ramp not much use!

Would give less than 1 star if I could.

Poor communication between branches, rock bottom customer service and lucky if you get an apology is a common theme across 3 midland branches. Don’t bother.

All went well up to the point of sale. After the sale they just lost interest and could not be bothered. When we arrived to collect the car we had to pay an extra £2000 even though the paperwork said different - sales rep Eilish could not provide any explanation for this. The parcel shelf was missing which we didn’t realise u til we got home so had to do a 2 hr round trip to collect. The worst thing by far was the fact that it took over 3 weeks for them to lay off the finance on the car we had traded in and we actually had to make an extra payment to the finance company because the finance had not been paid off by Steven Eagell who by not doing so were in breach of contract. We emailed Eilish who chose to ignore our emails even though we had made it quite clear we were making a complaint and we’re not happy customers. We phoned and were lied to by Eilish’s manager who assured us the finance had been paid - it hadn’t. It was finally sorted by the assistant manager. Would I use King Lynn again - hell no. Customer service extremely low par and Eilish would benefit from retraining

I had a recall for my car so I booked it in for 1st April 2026.I took car in and receptionist said car ready by 5pm .I went home and within 20 minutes called by Toyota to inform me they did not have the parts or tool needed to do the job.Why then book me in.I was so angry and said I could not have this conversation,I had the same problem last year when my car was booked in for a routine service.After a while I received another call from Toyota and they said they would keep my car on site and do the necessary work and car ready on 7th April.They did say it could not be done earlier due to Easter break.So 7th April no contact from Toyota,8th April still no contact from Toyota.Eventually on 9th April called by Toyota to say car ready and would I like car washed which I agreed to.I went to collect car.Reception just handed me my keys. No explanation for delay or lack of contact.Also car not washed.The lack of customer service for such a big dealer is shocking.My next car will not be a Toyota.

Sales team were very good.

However the service department were and still are evasive, incompetent and do not respond to emails for days. I bought a ex demo car which they claim to have serviced. Less than 1000 miles later I checked the oil and none showed on the dip stick. Two months later the problem has not been resolved. I have not been able to drive my car for two months. It only has 3000 miles on the clock from new. The trim is badly stuck on and is not straight, the sun roof rubber pops out and leaks.

The whole experience of buying a very expensive car ( 85 k )from Steven Eagle Milton Keynes has been terrible.

After sales service is beyond painful and still ongoing. I will never use them again. Hopefully reading this review will kick start them into resolving their shabby service before it escalates more.

Dreadful.

I bought a full service plan 2 years ago when purchasing my Aygox. I have since sold this car for an electric vehicle. I am owed £303.30 refund on the payment of the full service plan but no one seems to be able to return this money. I have been told that EMac will refund, they say that Bedford should refund. Really disappointed and angry that I have already phoned MK and Bedford and they both deny any knowledge. So don’t pay for a full service plan if you think you might sell the car early!!’

I had a very disappointing experience with Toyota Luton.

I have been a loyal Toyota customer for over 15 years across different countries, but this has been my worst experience so far. When purchasing a used bZ4X demo car, the sales team promised to fix scratches and provide a dash cam. However, once I paid the deposit, communication became very poor — emails were ignored and phone calls were not answered.

Even after collecting the car, the issues were not properly resolved. There is still a noise coming from the central console, and now the wireless charger has stopped working completely. I have already taken the car back, but the problems remain unresolved.

On top of that, the customer service experience has been frustrating and unprofessional. This is not the level of service I expected from Toyota.

I would not recommend this dealership based on my experience.

Be careful with this outfit for services. I always book online, but on the day the price gets inflated. Got caught out once, but now always check the paperwork before signing and handing over the keys. The last time (21-03-26 - Romford) the price was increased from £285 (intermediate service) to £385. Once I pointed out the "Mistake" the correct price was written down on the paperwork. The complementary car was not provided and my email was ignored. I even got an email from the service manager a week later to check if everything went well and if I was happy with the service. I responded (I omitted the overcharging) and just asked why the car was not washed? This email was also ignored.

I booked an MOT for a day which had availability. Without reason or apology it was auto moved to the following week. On the day, I was charged triple the standard cost for a new tyre or the MOT was failed. I was told they only had premium tyres - even so I know the cost; I was robbed. Horrific experience.

I was very pleased with the service I received. My vehicle was collected for a health check by Ian and returned earlier than expected.
He was very respectful and polite.
Thank you very much for your service.

Very happy with the car initially and still am - salesman Danny seems to be a top bloke, but I have had to contact them after the original 12v battery (1 yr 4mth old) was tested by the AA and found to be U/S and they have been strangely silent since..... Appreciate it's a bit of Achilles heel for Hybrid Toyotas but I was hoping for a bit more of response.

I was looking to buy a second hand car but not exactly sure what car I wanted. Amy was fantastic, showed us the models that might meet our needs and organised test drives too. Although we did not buy a Toyota on this occasion we would definitely return in the future.

Toyota Ashford - I had such an amazing experience thanks to Stella. From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcomed and looked after, always checking in at just the right moments without ever being intrusive.

Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out, and it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to come across someone who delivers such consistently excellent customer service with such warmth and authenticity.

Stella truly made a lasting impression, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return because of her. She’s an absolute credit to the team!

Lovely experience from toyota Horsham friendly staff, clean environment very professional throughout handover of new car. Not pushy in anyway highly recommended keep up the good work!

Toyota Stourbridge utter disgraceful garage
Car gone back for the third time for same problem but do not care about customer.
1. Wanted to charge for loan car
2. Promise would cal back to discuss
3. Never respond to emails

The car will be going
We will be buying a new car and NOT TOYOTA.
This dealership has lost not 1 but 2 sales

I purchased a 2016 Toyota Yaris Hybrid in June 2025 from Steven Eagell Toyota Rayleigh under the Toyota “Approved Used” scheme, expecting a vehicle that had been properly inspected and was safe to drive.
Less than a year later, the car developed multiple braking system warnings (ABS and related systems). I took the vehicle to a Toyota service centre for inspection, where it was confirmed that there is a fault within the front wiring loom affecting the braking system, and I was advised the vehicle is unsafe to drive.

During inspection, it was also identified that there are signs of previous non-standard repairs to the front of the vehicle, including missing factory clips and improvised fixings, which raises serious concerns about the condition of the car at the point of sale.
Since then, the vehicle has been off the road and I have been left without transport.

Despite multiple attempts to contact the supplying dealer and being told the issue has been escalated internally, I have received no meaningful response, no resolution, and no contact from management.

I have now been forced to escalate this matter to Toyota Financial Services as a formal dispute.

This situation is extremely disappointing, particularly given the expectations associated with purchasing an Approved Used vehicle from a main Toyota dealer.
I would strongly advise anyone considering a purchase to ensure full transparency regarding vehicle history and inspection standards.

I am still awaiting a resolution.

UPDATE:

Steven Eagell has responded asking me to send my complaint to their feedback email for senior management review.

I have already submitted a formal complaint to your feedback email address and have also contacted the Rayleigh branch directly multiple times.

Despite this, I have received no meaningful response or contact from senior management, and the issue remains unresolved while my vehicle is unsafe to drive.

I will resend the details again as requested, however I would appreciate urgent action given the length of time this has already been ongoing.

None stop harassment & pushy sales. I have told them verbally & by email which was replied & agreed to- asking them to remove my details to which still 2 months on they keep calling every 2 weeks and emailing me. All of which I have forwarded them to which no response. If its not one branch its another! Every phone call I answer and tell them to remove me details to be told they have! Liars!

Shaz was very helpful and excellent customer service

Always buy my cars from Steven Eagle (Inchcape Kidlington) as the welcome and service I receive is welcoming and faultless.Darren has sold me my past 4/5 cars and professional and genuine each time.

Had my Toyota collected by IAN to take to Cambridge for it's service, he was a lovely gentleman who was polite, funny and very helpful
