What are the hours and when should I call?
Toyota operates the call center for this 800-331-4331 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-8pm, Sat 9am-7pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 157 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Toyota call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Toyota phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Toyota staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Toyota is Saturday.The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 68% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 157 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.
In summation, the best day to call Toyota is Thursday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Toyota staffs up on Thursday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
When I bought my Toyota a few years ago, I also purchased their roadside assistance program. I haven't had to use it at all, and at one point even thought about canceling it instead of extending my coverage. However, when I ended up on the side of the highway with a flat tire, I learned just how valuable it was. It only took a few minutes to talk to an agent who was able to get help to me and help me get back on the road.
This was the first time I had ever had to use roadside assistance, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I usually drive newer vehicles so I don't end up on the side of the road, but things like flat tires can happen regardless of the age of a car (as I learned). I'm not a very handy or mechanical person, so the service that was provided to me was very important.
It was about 9 p.m. when I ended up on the side of the road. I was on my way home from a late dinner with a few people from work. It was very dark and I was on the side of the interstate which wasn't very comfortable for me. I had no idea what the wait would look like when I called, but I imagine that Toyota gets a lot of phone calls so I was ready to call an independent tow service if their response wasn't going to be fast.
When I called, a voice message stated, "Thanks for calling Toyota," then offered Spanish instructions. The full list of options included, "For roadside assistance, press 1. For stolen vehicle assistance, press 2. For Marai, press 3. For recalls, press 4. For Toyota financial services, press 5." I immediately pressed one, and then after it rang a few times, a voice said, "This is Toyota Roadside Assistance. Your call may be recorded for customer assistance." Then a privacy policy was recited to me and I was advised to have my location and VIN number to help expedite assistance.
My next two options were to press 1 for roadside assistance, or press 2 for status update. I pressed one and immediately Ashley picked up. I was very impressed with the very quick pick-up time and Ashley was very helpful and gentle mannered. She took my information and made arrangements for a service to come out and change my flat tire for me. Throughout, she was calm and gave me an easy way to check the status of the dispatch. While it still took a hot minute for the tow company to arrive, I was grateful for the company's quick response time.

Information about why customers call Toyota is extracted from issues that customers have reported to GetHuman.
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Toyota, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Use this link to connect with customer service through Facebook
Some customer service teams, like that of Toyota, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Toyota customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
