I tried to get in touch with a "manager" multiple times and no one seems to care (despite getting texts and emails asking for feedback each day). So I will leave my feedback here.
2 stars because the exterior of my car does look good.
I had a minor collision with a cement mini wall in a parking garage. I was concerned about taking my Audi just anywhere so I asked Fletcher Jones when I was in for service. They recommended Euro Collision and one other place. My insurance works with Euro Collision so I called them first.
Initially everything seemed pretty easy and I was told the work would take a week and a half, the damage wasn't anything extraordinary, so I proceeded. A week and a half later they called to tell me my car was ready. I went at 5p after work to get the car. I arrived and they pulled my car around. It was dark but the exterior of my passenger side looked great. I went to get in the car and my airbag light was on and the window wouldn't go up. I went back inside, frustrated that they wouldn't check these things when fixing the passenger door and disconnecting electrical, etc. The person came back out, spent 15 minutes resetting everything and told me everything was all set. I go to leave and lock the doors (#chicago) and the passenger door lock button didn't light up. The passenger side lock/unlock buttons didn't even work. So I go BACK in and they spent another 20 minutes fixing. At this point they were closed and definitely frustrated with me, since this was obviously my fault.
As soon as I left I noticed it sounded like my window or moonroof was cracked, but they were closed. I was late for plans so decided I'd see if it improved over a few days. Of course it did not. My car also was kind of dirty inside after picking it up, so I was wiping it out on Friday (2 days after picking up) and literally find a 4' long piece of rubber IN MY BACKSEAT. I called Saturday morning to speak to a "manager" kind of knowing one wouldn't be in on a Saturday. The lady was very friendly and took down my information and experience and said the manager would call me first thing Monday. After we hung up, she called me right back and asked if I could come in to have it fixed that day. I asked if someone would for sure be in on a Saturday because I was running errands in the south loop. She said yes. I got there right at 11, as I said I would, and a guy came out to look at my car with me. He said the noise could be because "it's been windy lately." I may be a young woman, but I'm not dumb. I told him that was not acceptable, the passenger window was not flush with the back window (I have a coupe) and HE WAS HOLDING A PIECE OF RUBBER from my car which I found in the backseat and was clearly supposed to be installed along the top of the frame above the window. He said he'd take the part, schedule me TO COME BACK "because no technician was onsite" despite the lady calling me back and confirming there would be. So I said okay, I can come in Monday at 10a. He told me he wouldn't be there but he'd be sure to note they would have an Uber drive me home while they did the work.
I came back today, saw the guy despite him saying he wouldn't be in, and asked to speak to the manager while I was there because he didn't call me, even though the lady Saturday said he would. The lady today ignored that and told me to have a seat. Another guy came out, I thought maybe he was the manager so I told him what all had happened. He was clearly just wanting to take my car and fix it, he literally just responded with "can I have your key?" So I went back inside - no manager, no Uber, and waited for 45 minutes. A kid came around, parked my car, walked in and gave the receptionist my keys. She walked over and handed them to me and turns to walk away. I said, "is anyone going to tell me what was the issue?" She was like "I can call him." This place literally does not care. They are so busy, they just want to shuffle cars in. I heard the two receptionists laughing because another customer was told they would have his car for 4 weeks and he was initially told 2. Just unprofessional.
My biggest concern, aside from customer service, is that a lot of these European cars are so complex and no one even checked the work done on my car. I had work done on the passenger door and clearly a lot of the electrical stuff had been disabled during the work - which makes sense. But doesn't it seem plausible to check the windows go up, the lock button works? I told them I was really frustrated no one would check anything. There was a part in my backseat!? And the receptionist said, "your estimator should have before he called to tell you it was ready." Great, thanks.
Also...I tried to leave this feedback on the feedback survey they sent me and when I clicked submit it told the page did not exist. So...I tried, in many ways, to give private feedback to Euro Collision. read more
