I reached out to Mats letting them know that I was looking for a Chevy Tahoe. They responded letting me know that it would not be worth their time to look for a Tahoe in my price range (around $20,000). Their customer service was less than favorable, and I left it at that. A few weeks later, they reached out to me letting me know that somebody had traded in their Tahoe and that Mats would be selling it for around $22,000. I was very happy that they had reached out to me! I ran the VIN through KBB and found out that the car was worth about $17,000, so I asked Mats if they were willing to come down on the price. They responded, telling me that they do not negotiate their prices as they are professionals, and since they are professionals and I am not, they wish to graciously unburden me with the task of acquiring a better price. They then sent me an email explaining how since I wouldn't negotiate the price on a gallon of milk at the grocery store, I shouldn't negotiate the price on a car. I then purchased the car at their fixed price, picked it up and noticed a grinding sound when I made turns. I took it to my mechanic and was told that it would be a roughly $2,000 fix. When I reached out to Mats letting them know of this, and that I wished to utilize their 50/50 warranty to fix the car, they tried to void their warranty and refused to pay. After a few emails of back and forth with them, they finally agreed to honor their warranty.
Altogether, I dealt with three people at Mats. In terms of customer service, one of them was amazing and the other two had room for improvement. Mats ultimately found and delivered the vehicle that I wanted, which was fantastic. They sold me a vehicle that required a very expensive fix even after they had inspected and approved it, and then tried to dishonor their warranty and have me pay for the entire fix. In the end, however, they ended up honoring their warranty after causing a slight headache on my part. I think Mats is capable of great work, and even the two members whose customer service was slightly lacking were pleasant overall. I believe that with some slight adjustments in the future they are very capable of providing excellent customer service. Overall, 2 out of 5 stars - Could've been better. read more
