Friday, September 25, 2020: I came here to check out and test drive a 2020 Ioniq EV Limited with an offer from this dealership through Truecar. I met with Jocelyn, who then introduced me to Thomas, the sales person. Thomas was great. He answered all of my questions regarding the car and understood exactly what I was looking for. When it came time to discuss price, I met with Gio (I think that's how his name is spelled) and explained that due to my situation, we were unable to buy that day but I wanted to get a price down and ready for when I was ready to purchase. He wouldn't give me a concrete answer on whether they would honor the offer through Truecar or not. He told me to go shop around and bring him offers and he'll beat them.
Monday, September 28, 2020: While I'm about to test drive at a different dealership, I realized I didn't have my driver's license. I am 99% sure that I left it at Patriot, so I call them and explain that I believe I left my license there. They told me that Thomas had left for the day and to call back the next day.
Tuesday, September 29, 2020: I call and ask for Thomas but was directed to Jocelyn. I explained that I believe I left my license there. She acknowledged it and told me that she would have Thomas call me after his meeting. 2-3 hours pass and I received no call, so I called Jocelyn back. She apologized and told me that she would tell Thomas to call me ASAP and that if the license was left on a desk, then they would have called me. 3 more hours pass and no call. I called Jocelyn again and she said that she would have someone go to the car I test drove and look and then Thomas would call me back. By 6:30pm, no one had called me so I drive to the dealership. I met with Gio and explained the situation. He told me that Thomas didn't see my license on any desk and that someone had gone and checked everywhere in the car. I ask for the keys to check it myself. Within 1 second of opening the passenger side door, the license was sticking out between the seat cushion and the backrest. If someone had checked the car, it was 100% easily noticeable.
Wednesday, September 30, 2020: I called back to talk to Jocelyn but she wasn't available, so I asked to speak to the General Manager. I was told that he was busy and to leave a name and phone number and he'll call me back. The call never came.
I am writing this review because I am severely disappointed by the lack of customer service to someone who is in the market and was interested in a car on their lot. Thomas was great when I was talking to him about the car, but despite leaving a message to call me back 3 times never did. I don't know the circumstances for this, but someone else should have called back. Secondly, telling a customer that you looked for their license in the car and couldn't find anything only for them to take 1 second to find it as soon as they opened the door does not look good on you. From the customer's point of view, it looks like you didn't even try to look because of how obvious the license was located. If they showed me that lack of customer service when I needed them to look for my driver's license that I was 99% sure I left there, how would their service look like when I had an issue with a car I bought from them?
