Auction Direct - Victor NY
We bought our 2017 Nissan Murano at this dealership, located in Victor, NY in April of last year. We were sold the vehicle, only to have a flat tire on our way home right after we bought it. Not a big deal, right? Well that's just the first issue. Next, we were never given a spare key. We didn't think of it at first, when we did inquire about it, they told us we'd have to purchase it from them. Lastly, The vehicle was not sold with a Sim Card in the back of the radio. Why is this a big deal? Because without the Sim Card; blue tooth is unavailable. Navigation is unavailable. The clock on the radio cannot be set. You cannot save any radio stations. You cannot even save your phone into the system in order to play music on it. It makes the charging ports in the car unworkable. So she can't speak on Bluetooth, she can't charge her phone, she can't listen to music on her phone, she can't even save basic radio stations.
It took almost two months for them to get a sim card in for the vehicle. Fast forward two months, the sim card comes in. They ask if we'd like to physically pick the sim card up or if we'd like them to mail it to us. We chose the mail option. Low & behold, you have to take the entire stereo system apart in order to get the SIM card installed into the system. Not once did they ever offer to do that for us. Not one time was that ever an option, and to be honest I have no idea how to do it myself. I wouldn't even know where to start.
Ok so now we're in June. My wife, Laura was pregnant, we're both working full time & being full time parents to our then 2 year old son. My uncle died last summer during a trip he took to Disney world with his son. We grieved that during the summer. Then during the winter, Laura's mother gets sick with covid. She gets so sick that she goes on a ventilator and later passes away in the hospital. We also got sick with covid; Me, Laura & our 2 sons. We were sick with covid while trying to comprehend what the hell just happened with her beautiful mother. That lead to months upon months upon months of sadness, depression, dispare.
Needless to say, a sim card was one of the last things on our mind during this past year.
Finally things get back to being "semi-normal" again.
A couple weeks ago, Laura brings her car into a mechanic because she had a check engine light on. While her car's at the mechanic she decides to have them put the SIM card in. But no; its the wrong SIM card. Auction Direct sent us the wrong sim card.
Ok, no worries; we'll just call & ask them if they could simply send us the correct one. We didn't ask them to install it, we just asked for the right sim card.
Auction Direct tells her "No its been too long & our employees have to get paid. We can't order an extra sim card because it's been too long & we can't order a new part." I then play phone tag with Christine for the last 10 or so days. Finally I spoke to her today at 3:11 PM. She tells me they will absolutely not order the correct sim card & there's nothing they can do to help us. I tell her "Okay I'll be contacting corporate offices." She proceeds to laugh at me. This woman actually laughed when I told her I'd contact their corporate/district offices.
Bottom line - I recommended this place to Laura (my wife). That turned out to be the most dreadful recommendation I've ever made in my life. Also, I'm trying to warn other people out there. If you want good service, do not goto Auction Direct. If you've ever loved for or even cared for Laura or myself, do not goto Auction Direct.
I'm not the type of person to ever write a bad review. I don't think I ever have before. But; In every possible scenario, this was an excruciatingly poor way of handling a simple customer service issue. read more
