All I kept hearing through the she's prices was that Albrecht Autoland is part of a larger entity like it's a perk, but I've seen no example of how. This is my 6th vehicle purchase (the first from them) and I've never had a bad experience before, however this one has been terrible.
Every time someone said I'd get a call, it never happened. It's impossible to reach anyone by phone, even with their personal number. The simple fact that there is zero communication unless the customer forces the issue leaves me feeling that customers are not important to their business. On top of that, the salesman was always late to meetings or couldn't hit deadlines and failed to let anyone know.
We bought the car because we were planning a trip and couldn't trust our old vehicle. Days passed and we still had no vehicle. We postponed our trip and later cancelled it entirely all because no one could say, "hey we accidentally sent you home with the temporary registration, could you bring that in?" It's beyond ridiculous. It sat there for over a week because apparently no one communicates with each other in addition to not communicating with customers.
We finally had no real choice but to take the vehicle because no one was willing or able to do right by the customer. Once they had the cash, no one could have cared less.
The unreliability we experienced casts serious doubts on the rest of the process. I'm not sure we can trust anything they did. The air conditioner compressor and wipers were replaced and the passenger side door handle repaired. We noticed that the coolant overflow had been filled all the way up to the top - well past the max line. We wondered why until a couple of weeks later, when we noticed it was completely empty. This tells me they had to know there was a leak and just overfilled it to disguise the fact.
So we ended up with a car that didn't get detailed - smelly, dirty, no scratches buffed, a black and soaked cabin filter, disgusting air filter, windshield dug to pieces from the broken wiper, loose radiator because the bushings were gone, airflow dividers under the hood not connected to anything, leaking antifreeze from somewhere, no clips holding the bumper on, and old filthy oil. The ad and salesperson both talked up how well maintained the vehicle was. Obviously not. The ad also said the vehicle has features that it does not. A debacle from beginning to end.
Never ever will I consider Albrecht for anything and you shouldn't, either. read more
