Have done business with this firm for over 15 years. Drive a few extra miles to use them rather than a closer dealership. Worth the time and effort. Drive a few extra miles to use them rather than a closer dealership. Worth the time and effort. More
I've always been a bit underwhelmed by the level of service and communications there, but my latest experience took the cake. My car was mis-firing so I took it in on a Tuesday morning. At the end of t service and communications there, but my latest experience took the cake. My car was mis-firing so I took it in on a Tuesday morning. At the end of the day, I was told they needed to have the parts shipped in to repair it, which would take three days. That would mean the parts should arrive should on Friday. Okay. I was also told the repairs would take ~8 hours. I was told I would be notified when the parts came in, when the work started, when work was completed, etc., in other words I would receive timely status updates. I didn't receive a single timely status update at any point. Indeed, on Friday, I heard nothing from them at all; even after requesting an update. On Saturday morning at around 9:30 they let me know that not only had the parts come in, but that my car been repaired! That was theoretically good news, but also representative of a complete lack of communications. The next step was merely a test drive. So, I waited and waited to here that a successful test drive had been completed. Six hours later, when I was unfortunately not in a position to pick up my car, I was notified that the test drive was successful. They're not open on Sundays, so I had to wait until Monday to get my car. I picked up my car successfully. It does seem to have been repaired. However, because I was in a hurry when I picked up the car, I didn't notice until later that my bill was several hundred dollars more than estimated. Perusing the bill, I noticed that the projected repairs were indeed as estimated, but they had unilaterally replaced my battery without my knowledge, consent, or even an explanation! WTH? More
