I was charged approximately $1,000 for a ceramic coating - freneauwang
I was charged approximately $1,000 for a ceramic coating at the time of leasing my vehicle. This charge was not optional and could not be removed.
Within a short period of ownership, it became clear that the ceramic coating was either not applied or not applied properly. Water was no longer beading on the car, despite ceramic coatings being marketed to last multiple years. When I raised this concern, I was initially told it could be due to weather or external factors, which does not align with how ceramic coatings are supposed to function.
What followed was weeks of being redirected between sales, service, and finance. I received inconsistent explanations, long delays, and was repeatedly told that manager approval was required, with no clear ownership, resolution, or timeline. At one point, I was even told I might need to pay again for a service I had already been charged for.
This should have been a straightforward fix with a simple approval. Instead, it became unnecessarily time-consuming and frustrating. My salesperson was cool though. Management not so much. Was zero follow up on their part. Just left me hangin.
This experience has unfortunately affected my confidence in returning as a customer.
