Brown Toyota
About us
Located in beautiful Charlottesville, Virginia, the Brown Automotive Group is a locally owned and operated auto sales and service facility. We are nestled in the foothills of the blue ridge mountains and about 6 miles down the road from The University of Virginia. With five state of the art facilities and an additional state of the art body shop, we are Charlottesville’s premier auto authority. Our company began in 1981, when Kenny Brown purchased the original location on 29North. Today, we represent nine new car franchises including Honda, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Subaru, Saab and Scion. Though we continue to grow, it is important for all of our customers and associates to know that we are still committed to the same goals that we were so many years ago: to provide fair, honest and reliable services to all customers. We hope that our motto speaks for itself... Brown. You’ll Love The Service!

They chARGED US 98.00 to tell us the knock sensor would not be covered and it would be at least 450 dollars to replace it
We had nothing but a run around for the entire time, Toyota did nothing to help us resolve this matter and in fact put us in the position of spending another 98 dollars we do not have. We would never had agreed if the owners manual had not specifically stated that emission systems are covered under Fedeeral 8 year 80,000 mile warrenty.
There is no way they could assume that an animal had chewed the wire when the local service station had looked and said the exact opposite opinion. They succeeded in keeping our car overnight, an strongarming us into paying 98 for nothing
This time there was also rattle under my vehicle.
They diagnosed it as a protective cover loose on the catalytic converter and quoted me $79 to burn it off.
I decided to see if I could get the cover off myself.
The service was part of Toyota's free maintenance on new vehicles and I got preventive maintenance, oil change, tire rotation, and state inspection all free. The only and slight disappointment was that I was expecting a light wipe down and vacuuming inside and may even a wash on the outside. None of that happened and I probably had unrealistic expectations. The staff were courteous and there was no evidence of their presence in the car which is a good thing. Overall a good experience with the shuttle service an unqualified and quot;Aand quot; rating.
