We’re sorry you’ve had such a frustrating experience trying to reach our team. Being left on hold, not receiving callbacks, and having difficulty using the app, especially when the dealership is not conveniently located for you, is understandably frustrating. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and your feedback regarding our phone communication, appointment process, and customer support has been shared with management for review.
