Co-Op Toyota

Story

THE STORY BEHIND CO-OP TOYOTA
Co-operative Motors commenced operations in 1913, taking over the operations of the Hobart Motor Company, located at the bottom end of Elizabeth Street - close to Hobart's dock area. As such, Co-op Motors proudly carries the mantle of the being the longest serving motor dealer in Australia.

Co-op's first franchise was for a truck known as the R.E.O, which later became know as the Reo. This make survived until the early 1940'S when production ceased. In 1919, Dodge cars and Graham Bros. trucks came under the company's wing. The association with Dodge, and later the brother Chrysler, lasted until 1959 when this franchise was relinquished in favour of Mercedes Benz.

1929 heralded the commencement of Co-op's association with the Standard Motor Company, which was the forerunner to the Australian Motor Industries which in turn is now known as Toyota Motor Corporation Australia.

Through the years, Co-op has represented many famous manufacturers, some of which have since passed into oblivion. Well known makes such as Hupmobile, Deasey, Storleigh, Hotchkiss, Berliet, Waverley, Austin, Morris and Citroen all contributed in some way to the early progress of the company.

Toyota is the really successful name associated with Co-op Motors today. This came about in the late 1950's with the introduction of Toyota into Australia through the vision of the great Sir Leslie Thiess, who had imported a number of Toyota Landcruisers to work in his coal mining operations in Queensland. The vehicles stood up so well to the severe testing to which they were subjected, that he could see an opening for his business associates to purchase some these vehicles which subsequently led to establishment of Thiess Sales Pty Ltd.

In 1962, Co-op Motors was approached by executives of Thiess Sales who were seeking an outlet for the marketing of Toyota in Tasmania. Thus began a relationship that lasts until this day. Co-op Motors, or Co-op Toyota as it is more familiarly known today, is not only the biggest Toyota dealer in Tasmania, but also the largest new vehicle franchise in the state.

As Toyota became renowned with quality world-wide, Co-op Motors worked hard to match the quality of its vehicles with the quality of its service. In doing so, it established what is now a Co-Op Motors tradition of selling cars to the same customers, over and over again. Co-op Motors have truly established a reputation for reliability, innovative design and economy.

I recently purchased a used car from Samantha at Coop Toyota in Hobart. She was great to deal with. She was friendly, listened to my needs and aas so very generous with her time. She took a considerable amount of time out of her day to ensure I knew how the vehicle worked, what everything did and how things connected. It felt very comfortable and happy.
All I can say is our experience with Co-Op Toyota was nothing short of amazing. We had been looking for a vehicle for a week and had some not-so-pleasant experiences at other car yards but Cameron from the Kingston branch and Mark from Hobart went above and beyond! We were given more than we expected on our trade, some minor interior trims that were scuffed were replaced and when we collected the vehicle every last detail was explained. Cameron & Mark, thank you so much
Looking for parts but given the age of my car, Co-Op couldn't assist. The gentleman with the luxuriant beard was very patient, and offered excellent alternatives. Great service.
Abdul and the team at Co-Op Toyota Hobart have been outstanding, going above and beyond in helping me source a vehicle part for my Kluger, and even successfully applying for financial assistance from Toyota Australia, so that my vehicle could be repaired at no cost for me, despite the age of the car. Can't recommend the team at Co-Op Toyota more highly for their brilliant customer service, not just this time but throughout the last 10+ years since I bought my car from them.
Absolutely disgusted - Had been liaising with Samantha for 3 days regarding a 2018 Toyota Hilux, offered a cash price plus a trade in, this afternoon. Which she had informed she could not do, however they were happy to accept another offer. She then wrote another email, stating that her maths was incorrect and could we please offer xxx amount, we denied and then spoke about it and decided we really wanted this vehicle so accepted our loan and the money went into our account. I phoned Samantha and advised we would be happy to do the offer she then advised "did you not see my email" I said yes it states you are happy to accept $xxx including trade in. She advised this was incorrect. TWICE the incorrect information had been provided with the incorrect figures, she asked whether I would like the manager to phone. Manager phoned and was quite aggressively yelling advising he isn't going to accept the offer, as it was $5,000 less than what they wanted, this was not my point - my point was that the information was not correct, I asked Mark to re-read the email and he agreed twice it was incorrect yet this was not explained and we have the emails advising of this. We are now left with an extremely large loan and without the vehicle we wanted, as we accepted the loan based on the emails that were sent to us. Please be very careful when dealing with Samantha & Mark, we are absolutely heart broken. Mark was not apologetic and when I advised legal action would be taken he hung up the phone. I will be pursuing with legal action.
Old mate Craig who works here provides exceptionally rude service and grunts at you over the phone. Love it when people like this talk to you like they wish you hadn’t called. He made a mistake and refused to admit it, citing all sorts of bizarre reasons it might have happened. Ok champ, will take my business elsewhere.
We have recently updated to a 2019 Yaris at Toyota Hobart, and are very impressed, not only with the customer service we received from every person we met, but the sense of a team culture within the business. While still “browsing” at our initial contact with salesperson Damir, he immediately understood our requirements and price range, and helped us to compare the features of various models, before allowing us time to consider our options, and make our decision. We appreciate his friendly courtesy and attention to customer satisfaction. We found manager Mark to be welcoming, friendly and accommodating during our discussion of payment options, trade-in and pickup arrangements. As Damir was away at handover time, Mark took time to orientate us to the digital features and control buttons, even setting up the Bluetooth to our phones. Our thanks to Samantha for her help, too. He also took us across to the service area to meet the team there. From our interactions with him and other staff we’ve met, Mark is obviously, and justifiably, very proud and supportive of all his Co-Op team members. Our thanks to you all!
We have been travelling Aust, servicing our car at multiple Toyotas around the country, and not only was this more expensive by over $100 on a small service for a comparable service to anywhere else around the country, they were very dismissive of issues we were having. When I asked them about the price and why it was so much higher, the manager I spoke to was confused, and asked for me to show proof it was cheaper elsewhere as she said it shouldn’t be, and then once I showed proof as requested, I was ignored and the replies stopped. In 15yrs of owning and servicing multiple cars with Toyota, this was the first negative experience we have had and it was definitely a shock! Definitely feel for the locals they are ripping off every day as I’m not sure people are aware just how over charged they are. We also now have to take our car to be looked at by another service centre as they couldn’t help us with issues we were having.
Co-Op Toyota Hobart are excellent to deal with Samantha was lovely and knew her cars and answered what questions we had efficiently. Thoroughly recommend these guys to buy a used car from and purchased one on the day
Worse car service provider in Hobart. Mechanics have no experience how to fix car issues. To fix car issues at co op Toyota is just waste of time because they first do diagnosis, and then after 1 or 2 weeks we can get appointment to fix that car issues. In our case, they did diagnosis 2 times, and find the causes of misfire. After 2 weeks, we got an appointment to fix it. But they do not fix the problem, and hand over the car to us. We paid 2000 dollar for it, and the car issues were not fixed by them. They just wrote on the paper that we have fixed these issues. We trusted them and took the car from shop. When we come back at home and drive car , all issues were as it is. We disppointed because we paid $2000 for it. We wasted 1 month behind it, in hope that they will fix our car, but they are cheater. They just took money and didn't fix anything. Every time they come up new thing like first time said you need to change fuel filter, and next time said need to clean injectors, and lastly said need new fuel pump. Then we took our car from shop, and went to another mechanic in Hobart, they just fixed the car in 2 days. They just replaced one fuel injector, and all car issues were fixed. They did good job which Toyota co op couldn't do it. Toyota co op could not fix the problem. Same on them. They have just big name, not good service. Do not waste time and money at co op Toyota.
