Gabrielle, I'm truly sorry for the frustration you experienced with the brake light issue and how it was handled. This falls short of the service we're committed to providing. I'd like to personally review the details of your visit and ensure this is taken care of properly. Please reach out to me directly at your earliest convenience.
