Nothing good to say about the sales department after buying a brand new car there but the real reason Im writing this review is because of the service department. Transmission cooler failed. Brought it here. Quoted me $800 for a new cooler plus another $110 for 2 new rubber hoses. Apparently the 2 rubber lines AND the cooler failed simultaneously? Anyway this is standard run of the mill greasiness from a dealership, I won't dwell on that.
I express an interest in saving money on parts politely. They tell me they will Not install after market part, I mean my warranty is over so shouldn't matter that much to them but whatever. I buy a gently used OEM cooler on kijiji for a fraction of the price. Contact them, offer up OEM part and even voluntarily agreed to donate $110 to their parts dept via 2 rubber hoses that didn't need replacement but I was polite about it when I called. Still refused to fix my car.
It seemed like a snap decision to me. Certainly no business intends to be this uncompromising with a customer whose put over $45 000 of business into their dealership. Certainly no successful business would throw away future sales and service over one marked up cooler. I write a polite email reminding them of the business I've done there and pointing out the obvious: if you make me tow my car off your lot you will never get another cent out of me.
I'm ignored. Sent several emails in response to one voicemail they left me inquiring about my car. One low level sales guy tells me hell "look into it" so I know they're getting my emails now. Two days and nothing happens. A very rude young woman calls me after 2 days and, completely ignoring the multiple emails I sent, asks me what's up With my car still being on there lot. She claims to have called and left voicemails 8 times, a flat out lie. I believe they had already concocted that lie because that's the lie they planned to use to falsely justify getting my car impounded. I mean why else would they make up such a lie? What other purpose could that lie serve? They were hoping I'd miss that one phone call so they could knife me in the back for trying to save some money. I explain again and she laughs at me when I ask if they'll reconsider their decision to not fix my car.
So just picture Me, for 2 days I'm raising my kids, working my job and living my life. While regularly checking my email to see if the dealership is going to do some work for me or maybe negotiate some concessions. im trying to Give them business and they're not just ignoring me, they are actively fabricating lies to falsely justify getting my car impounded!! I Towed my car the heck out of there. Don't let this be you! read more
