I normally do not write reviews, and when I woke up this morning, I truly thought this was going to be another day of nothing but a run-around from the dealer. But I am happy to report that I was WRONG!
I want to start off by giving the biggest thanks to my wonderful salesman, Nick Kane, and also the Service Technician that took time out for me, Noah. I needed recall work on my 2014 Journey, and was also having a sagging issues with the right-side front bumper and rattling in the front end, and I purchased the extended warranty and have never been in an accident, so I thought the dealership would work with me to address these concerns. And I thought by making an appointment time and not just driving in, this would be convenient for all. The servicemen looking at the car immediately stated making short comments about how the bumper issue was body shop work and not covered under my warranty - one person even suggested that the bumper appeared to be pushed-in. I have never been in an accident in that car. I began to feel they were not taking me seriously as a female (and I hate to play the female card...), but I needed the repairs completed and felt I had to trust the dealership. I thought it would take a few hours to inspect my vehicle and determine a repair plan, but again I was wrong. By 2:30 that afternoon, my vehicle remained untouched despite a pre-made appointment. Monday afternoon Noah arranged for a rental car for me (at dealer expense for the first night), and I finished my workday, pickup up the rental (transported by the shuttle driver Marvin - thanks Marvin!) and went home to await the call from the dealership to tell me what was wrong. And I again heard nothing. I reached out to the service department at 7:30, didn't get to talk with Noah, but was told by another serviceman that my vehicle remained untouched, they hoped to get to it sometime tomorrow, but they are behind and so sorry. That was all they could do. Well, I was not feeling the "sorry" as it seemed to me pointless to have made an appointment, and my car still may not come back tomorrow as parts may have needed to be ordered, and it still had to go over to the body shop after that. I was almost in tears. It was then I reached out to my salesman from 2014, Nick Kane, who remembered me and took the time out of his busy evening to learn of my issues and left me with a promise to look into things further in the morning. Noah (sorry Noah that I do not have your last name) called me Tuesday morning around 10:00am and he unfortunately took the brunt of my frustration during that phone call. But he remained gracious and friendly, and took the time to explain/apologize for an apparent lack of communication from the day before. As I do not want to be extremely long winded, let me simply say "Thank You!" to both Nick K. and Noah, who took the time to talk "to me", not "at me", and went the extra distance to ensure my vehicle would be repaired correctly, timely, and to the satisfaction of this retained customer! If you need a new vehicle, I can highly recommend Nick Kane and anyone associated with him. And if you need service, speak with Noah, he is kind and respectful, and will do all that he can to assist you and get you through the experience!
Thank you guys, I appreciate you! read more
