**UPDATE (12/26/18): Called Prestige Toyota today to let them know that the "certified pre-owned" vehicle that was purchased from them one year ago has a bad battery. Got stranded multiple times in the past few weeks and car always needed a jump start. Turn car off to fill up gas and in the three minutes it takes to fuel up - the battery is dead because of whatever exterior lights are kept on (in auto position). Called dealer and was told battery was good at time of inspection when the car got "certified" and it happens to have just gone bad. For a dealer that typically tries to sell you on every single type of repair, service or maintenance at the very first sign of trouble didn't see any sign that the battery would go in less than a year after selling the car. Stay away from this dealerships "certified pre-owned vehicles". Very unethical and no concept of customer service. This is the first time I purchase used from a dealership and this experience has been pretty bad to say the least. **

10/19/18: Purchased a CPO 15 Highlander. Sales rep told me the car went through a multi point inspection including new brakes, tires, etc. Drove the car home and in a few months the service department called me a few times to schedule an appointment for recommended maintenance. I went in (50 minute drive each way) and was told by the adviser that the car isn't due for maintenance. Basically wasted two hours to learn the car didn't need to be serviced. Fast forward a few months later and the maintenance light comes on. I take the vehicle to a dealer closer to home two days ago for maintenance and was told the rear brakes need to be replaced and rotors shaved as they were less that 3mm. A $390 job that would not be needed if the car was truly CPO. The car is driven lightly and isn't used as a daily driver and it hasn't been a year. How did this vehicle pass as CPO? I have serious doubts about this dealers claims regarding anything in their inventory. I would not advise anyone to consider purchasing any vehicle from here and definitely question them if they call you to bring your car in for service.
