Be aware of Marin Toyota
Spoke with BC at Toyota Marin looking for a new vehicle off the truck. He sent me an invoice with an item listed as "Other F&I products" charging $1,295. I inquired about the charge, and he said it was for a StarGard accessory that is installed on all new and used vehicles. I declined the accessory and asked for a price without it. BC stated he could waive the cost of the StarGard if I purchased a service plan. I again declined any optional accessories, additional services or plans, and was denied any further options to purchase the vehicle. Optional accessories are just that and should fall on the customer to purchase or not. Do not force potential customers to purchase accessories, or service plans, that people do not want or have waived. It is unfortunate that we could not have come to some understanding and will definitely not consider this dealership in the future.
