Worst service ever. Rude rude rude staff
The staff is very very rude and non-cooperative. They showed me one car and when I asked for another car, the guy went in and never came back. It was very very disappointing experience and I will never go back

Discourteous and Insulting
Very bad customer service when went to to Phil Gilbert toyota @ lidcombe. I had a conversation on 24/11/2019 with one of the asst manager in sales when we went to buy a used car - hyundai i30 and were about to put in a deposit. But, in the end of negotiations the asst manager in sales raised a question to us - "Is this your culture thing?" when customers negotiate, they want to make a deal with the business and negotiating is "Not a culture thing". The sales asst manager did not even bother to apologize us after his comment. We feel that his co...Read more
mment is racist and very disrespectful towards us as a customer. It was a rude behaviour from the asst sales manager. I feel very disappointed by the comment made the asst sales manager and am deeply offended. I hope at least going forward the staff treats customers with respect and courtesy. #negotiatingisnotaculturething #respectcustomers

Very bad customer service
Bought a new car was very bad customer service and bad delivery process, will never use this dealer again. If anything happens while buying a car or after delivery they will blame you if anything goes wrong in paper work or with anything else.

Repair RAV4
Had an issue with a RAV4, the repair was not fixed correctly the repair lasted 2 weeks, the customer service team are always on the defensive, was spoken too rudely, I will never go back to Phil Gilbert Lidcombe again.
Wake up Phil Gilbert Lidcombe? If you have a customer that requires an urgent repair and the client has brought there car back the second time because the first repair was not fixed correctly offer to look at the issue immediately don't make the client wait.

Great place to get my car serviced
The service team at Phil Gilbert Lidcombe are very kind and professional to me . I had my car serviced with them for years and not had a fault with my car. The service advisor that looked after my car was very polite and explained every detail of the service that needed to be done. I am very happy with them face to face and over the phone. The spare parts team is also amazing as they found parts for my car without any hassle. I’m glad that I have made the choice to have my car serviced at Phil Gilbert. Also love the new drive feeling when leaving

Terrible service. Discourteous. Didn’t bother checking that right part was in stock.
I needed a replacement remote control for my Toyota Corolla, replacing a faulty one that was only 12 months old (got a mechanic friend to pull the sides apart thinking it needed a battery but part of the electronics had fallen off. That was an irritating start. Explained all this to Phil Gilbert Service (hard to use that word really) on the phone, that I needed a new remote. Went to a lot of trouble to get the car to Phil Gilbert before work today to be told firstly by one staff member that this type of remote was on back order, then by another staff member that it needed to be ordered. To start with they’re incompetent (didn’t check stock) and disrespectful (didn’t listen to me.). They also have no problem with telling lies.

The 'Arthur Lobo' the great person behind my sales is awesome. From car selection till purchase he is the man who helped me and my family in making the decision. I had visited many car dealers over the last 3 months. However, I like the professionalism and great attitude of PhilGilbert Lidcombe.
People in PhilGilbert especially 'Arthur Lobo' are very true. they are more interested in making your purchase memorable.

Bad service / Rude sale manager
Bought a Toyota corolla 2013 5 years ago which was our first new car. We didn't have much experience with buying new car or dealing with dealership. Agreed with the price and signed a waive form so we can't change our mind. It was quite random that around the same time, our friend bought a similar car from another dealer so we know the price. We rang Philgilbert just to see if they can give us a discount. We thought that it wont hurt asking a question. If they disagree, we are fine with that. However, what went bad is the store manager was very...Read more
rude. We went to fair trading and that's sorted in the end. That was our first experience with Phil Gilbert We had our can serviced with them for 3.5 years due to capped price servicing (reviewed one extra for free). 7 months after the last service with them, we tried to change the oil and couldn't open the oil filter cap. Took it to a mechanic and he couldn't open it either with hand tool. He doesn't want to risk breaking the housing that's connected to the oil filter cap. According Toyota, they should only use 27 newton meter to put the cap back on which mean that we should be able to undo the cap with a torque wrench. So after 7 months from the last service, we shouldn't have any problem. What we should have done is to take the car back to Phil Gilbert straight away to ask them to fix it rather than us trying to fix their mistake. Now that we leave it for a bit long, we wont fix their mistake and want us to pay for the cap if that break. Asking for $100 for the cap plus we need to do a minor service with them. So what we see is that Phil Gilbert wasn't following Toyota specification.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Ordered a Corolla 2018 new model manual with roof rack, towbar and weather shields. Salesman said it would be ready by the end of the month (1 week away in Nov) and I questioned this as my previous two manual Corolla took 3 to 4 weeks to deliver with NO extra's. Rocked up and was given the keys etc and looked around the car just before driving off and no towbar!!!! Sorry forgot to tell you.

p the car and got a call at 4:40PM that they did not fit the towbar. Got a loan car. Took three days to fit the towbar. First service let them know the black edging around where the towbar is was coming off. Got there and shows the service staff, no worries can you come back in 2.5hrs, went to the shops etc and came back 3.5hrs and they did not call and the car was not ready. The part was not in stock and had to be specially ordered, which was two weeks ago and still no call. No after sales support or customer care once you sign for the car.2 comments
Phil Gilbert already has my details and complaint from Toyota and as usual no one has called. What will calling up achieve?

Best Hyundai car dealer in Sydney
After seeing all the reviews from different website, I almost decided to visit Phil Gilbert Hyundai Lidcombe. I did a lot of research on other local dealers and found that they had better reviews than most, so I decided to visit and inquire about Hyundai car.
I began working with Paul Lim, who was VERY honest, helpful, patient, and easy to work with. We viewed a few cars on the lot before finally finding the right one. After working numbers and comparing, we were able to come to a deal that made us all happy. The few problems that were found with the finance but were fixed quickly by Paul and his other teammates and we would also like to thanks for the presentation of the car at pick up.

They Lost The Key!!!
Bought 2017 Toyota, was not explained that the window tint and platinum protection insurance was quoted EXCLUSIVE of GST. They also promised me the window tint would be finished on the following day. I called the following day questioning about the GST issue and they agreed to wave the GST. Then then advise me that the window tint would be done on the day. By 4:15pm I was told the technician loss the key!!! NOT a happy experience!

Staff are polite but can't recommend them for repairs
The staff are very polite and the showroom is lovely but when we took our 6 year old Hyundai i30 in as it had developed an intermittent shudder when idling they said it was a software update. It wasn't - the spark plug coil needed replacing which they discovered when we had to bring it back a second time. There is a problem with the quality assurance processes - I can't recommend them for repairs or servicing.

Disorganised or deceiving?
Took my 2014 Santa Fe to the Croydon dealership service department after the transmission went into limp home mode on a Monday morning. After the person was on the computer checking the VIN details of the vehicle for about twenty-five minutes, I was told they could get to it the next Monday so I left it there for the week. In order to get around, I rent a car across the road as they have none available. Thirty minutes later he calls me and tells me it will actually be about six weeks and warranty won't be covered due to being registered as a wo...Read more
rk car under the first owner (something that is on me, I wasn't aware), so it will be an $800 diagnostics fee. So in not disclosing those two facts, they have already cost me $500 in a rental car for the week (which I'll have to add to the $3000 transmission repair) which I am now stuck with while my car sat at Hyundai doing nothing for a week, until I picked it up Saturday to take it to a transmission place which I can only assume is more organised.2 comments

locked into renting a car for a week, informing me it was six weeks to look at it and the $800 charge which I wasn't aware of at the time which resulted in my car sitting there for the week. I'm very sure this information was readily available at the time I was waiting around the dealership. The car will not require diagnostics, it is being looked at elsewhere.Similar opinion?

Not a pleasant experience at all.
So we went into the Lidcombe showroom to buy a car, upon being assisted by the consultant we decided on a car that was priced at $16,990 and agreed to a price of $15,500. We said yes gave our details for the finance approvals and went home happy. Up until this point everyone in the office were professional, polite and assisted us well.
After reaching home to check a few details on the car when we went on Phil Gilbert’s used cars website, we found that the car was priced at $16,111. So next day when my partner called the showroom for an explana...Read more

Staff needs to know product knowledge.
The staff is Rude and it seems to me unprofessional. I visited to have a service my Hyundai Santa fe 2011 and they could not found my cars's model number, even thought i have all the paperwork.
It is a shame. It also unable to advice, when and after how many km i need to change Transmissions oil.
My first time it is a terrible experience.
If your intention to visit, i jest suggest Think Twice before you visit; to save time and money.
Thanks
