I recently brought my vehicle in for service, which was
completed in a timely manner. However, one of the services was not performed and I had to return to have that service completed. After that service I
completed in a timely manner. However, one of the services was not performed and I had to return to have that service completed. After that service I noticed my steering wheel was off-center and had to return again to have that resolved.
When I arrived Jack Kim came out to speak with me. I let him know I was returning again for the 3rd time (he dismissed this and informed my I was only returning for the 2nd time) and needed to have the steering wheel adjusted. Since this wasn't my fault and should have been done properly on my previous visit I asked him if it could be done quickly since I would have to wait. He told me it would be at least 3 hours since it was a busy day, etc., etc., etc. I asked him if I could possibly get a Lyft back since this was now going to take half my day waiting. He said no, SBH no longer provides Lyft rides back to the dealership.
He also showed no interest when I mentioned SBH would lose me as a customer since I shouldn't have had to come back to have this issue resolved.
Given that I had no choice but to wait, I gave up on Jack's horrible customer service and proceeded to the customer waiting area. Within a few minutes Jeremy called me with a couple of questions about my vehicle. I walked over and spoke with him about my situation. To make a long story short, Jeremy offered me a Lyft back to dealership and had my vehicle ready within 90 minutes. When I returned to SBH my vehicle was waiting up front and Jeremy made a point to speak with me before I left.
I have had my vehicle serviced at SBH for 5 years and was ready to walk due to Jack Kim's terrible customer service skills. I mentioned to Jeremy that his actions that day has, for now, made me reconsider that decision. However, I will not work with Jack Kim on any future service appointments.
