Exclamation Lexus Support Line 800 25 Lexus

Has anyone call this toll free 800-255-3987?

I am on hold waiting for customer service and it's been 30 minutes. I wanted to reach the customer satisfaction department.

It's a long brutal wait. Wished they have a disatisfaction department so the wait won't be as long. Seems like everyone is satisfied with their car.

Is this long of the wait usual for 3PM CST?

I think with all of Toyota's problems, the wait time is much longer than it used to be. You're talking to Toyota, not Lexus...

Also, with all the bad press with the GX 460, they're swamped with calls. I agree, they shouldn't keep you on hold so long.

Default still slow

A Google search for "80025lexus" yields this thread as the top result.

I decided to try Lexus Chat to try to circumvent the ridiculous hold time.

This was our brief and pointless conversation:
LOch: Welcome to Lexus Chat. How may I help you?
Alan Novitskiy: earlier today, I missed a call from Carlos with Lexus Customer Service
Alan Novitskiy: i've tried callign the provided number, but after spending over 20 minutes on hold, I decided to try to reach him another way
Alan Novitskiy: is it possible to make a note or status change in my case so that I may receive another call when it is convenient?
LOch: Thank you for contacting Lexus,
LOch: I do apologize for the inconvenience, apparently we are experiencing a high volume of call.
LOch: We apologize; this chat line is reserved for current year, basic product inquiries. In order to address your concern, you would need to contact our Corporate Headquarters at 800-255-3987.

LOch: Is there anything else you’d like me to assist you with today?
Alan Novitskiy: If I had a current year, basic product inquiry, I'd Google it
Alan Novitskiy: thanks for all your help
LOch: I'm sorry, this is a concern that is already being handle by an inside Case Manager.
LOch: Thank you, please feel free to either contact us again through chat, or you may also call 800-255-3987 if you have any further questions. Enjoy the rest of your day and thank you for contacting Lexus.

I've never held that long and I've been using that number since my first flat tire on my first Lexus twelve years ago. It's normally 2-3 minutes.

The reason for the delay, it's not just a Lexus line, it's also for Toyota. With all the recalls, people calling in, it's backed up.

Final hold time: 1 hour and 6 minutes

Result: Representative assigned to my case was not available, but the one who answered my call was able to read the case notes and give me the answer I was looking for.
