Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We understand why you’re frustrated, especially after scheduling an appointment for an oil change and then waiting. Missing your child’s sports game because of the delay is especially disappointing, and we’re sorry your visit had that impact on your day. We also appreciate you recognizing Kei for being friendly and helpful during an otherwise frustrating experience. Your comments about the overall professionalism of the service department, including appearance and work attire, are important feedback as well. We take those expectations seriously and appreciate you being candid about what fell short during your visit.

Thank you for the honest feedback! We’re especially glad you appreciate the straightforward approach of our service team. Knowing you feel you can trust their recommendations and communication means a lot to us. We also appreciate the suggestion about offering a car wash with service, our wash rack must have been out of service. Thank you for choosing us and for sharing both what you value and what you’d like to see from us!

We’re sorry that the service time was significantly longer than what you were told, especially after you had already experienced a similar issue during your first appointment. We understand how frustrating it is to schedule a service appointment expecting a two-hour visit, only to wait three hours with no transportation option offered. Clear communication about expected service times is important, particularly when customers are planning their day around an appointment. Your feedback has been shared with our management team for review, as we are always looking to improve our services.

Thank you for the feedback. We’re glad your visit was pleasant overall, but we’re sorry the oil dipstick was not put back in place and that you had to return to have it corrected. That’s an important detail that should have been checked before your vehicle was returned to you. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope we can provide a more careful, seamless experience on your next visit.

Thank you for sharing the feedback. We’re glad calling helped get your appointment scheduled quickly, but we’re sorry we missed the car wash and windshield wiper check you specifically requested. When you take the time to communicate those requests, they should be followed through. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
