Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your visit left you feeling frustrated and disappointed. Being treated with courtesy and respect by every member of our team is a fundamental expectation, and we regret that this was not your experience outside of our cashier staff. Clear communication is essential, especially when a vehicle is being serviced. Having to repeatedly call for updates and receiving uncertain answers such as maybe is not acceptable, and we understand how that would lead to a lack of confidence in the process. We are addressing these concerns with our service team to reinforce consistent communication, accountability, and professionalism. Regarding the waiting area, we acknowledge that our current service lounge is limited due to our ongoing dealership-wide renovation. While construction can be disruptive, we do have additional guest accommodations available, including our main showroom and a private waiting area equipped with workspace and Wi‑Fi. We regret that these options were not clearly offered or communicated during your visit. As for the battery concern, we understand how disappointing it is to experience a failure after a recent replacement. While batteries can sometimes fail prematurely due to various factors, this is still something we would have liked the opportunity to review and explain more clearly with you at the time. Your feedback has been shared directly with our management team and will be used as a coaching opportunity to improve guest interactions and service consistency. We truly appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. If you are open to it, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you personally to better understand your experience and work toward restoring your confidence in our dealership. Please contact me Josephine Easter, (Service Customer Relations Manager) at Jeaster@group1auto.com or call me directly 512-458-2222 x1355.
