I am writing to formally document my concerns regarding the repair services performed on my 2023 Tesla Model 3 at this facility.
I brought my vehicle to the repair center for damage to the front-right portion of the vehicle. At the time of drop-off, the service advisor conducted a walk-around inspection of the vehicle and documented the existing dings, scratches, and other pre-existing cosmetic damage. At that time, my vehicle's air-conditioning system was functioning properly, and there were no issues with the A/C.
The vehicle was in the repair facility for approximately one week. Upon returning to pick up the vehicle, I immediately discovered that the air-conditioning system was no longer functioning. This issue did not exist prior to the vehicle being brought in for repairs.
I understand that the repair facility may contend that the A/C system was not directly repaired or serviced. However, the fact remains that the vehicle underwent repairs to the front-right portion of the vehicle, which is in the general area where components and lines associated with the A/C system are located. Given that the A/C was functioning properly when the vehicle was delivered and was no longer functioning immediately after the repair was completed, I believe this issue warrants a proper inspection and investigation.
Despite raising this concern with the repair facility, I was informed that they would not take responsibility for diagnosing or correcting the problem. I also attempted to escalate the matter to the individual identified as the manager, but unfortunately, I did not receive meaningful assistance or a satisfactory resolution.
I am not asserting that the damage to the A/C system was intentional. However, the timing and circumstances warrant a reasonable investigation to determine whether the issue resulted from the repair process, movement of the vehicle, removal or installation of components, or any other work performed while the vehicle was in the facility's possession.
I am requesting that the repair facility conduct a proper inspection of the A/C system, identify the cause of the failure, and take appropriate responsibility for correcting the issue if it is determined that the failure is related to the repairs performed.
Based on my experience, I am extremely dissatisfied with both the handling of this issue and the refusal to meaningfully investigate it. I would not recommend this repair facility to other Tesla owners based on the manner in which my complaint has been handled read more
