Did you know that when you call and make an appointment for your vehicle, its with the service advisor. The appointment you make , with date and time, is NOT with the service technician, it is with the service advisor, the one who cannot repair your car. Yep you heard me correctly. How do I know this? Well my family lived it and Ms. Cameron in service confirms this. See the story below:
My son made an appointment (one week in advance) for 10/28/24 at 9am, for his GMC Canyon. He wanted the front end checked out, he had some rubbing and squeaking. He also requested an oil change, and transmission flush. After not hearing anything from Ms. Cameron concerning an update or an estimate in a timely considerate manner, my son calls/texts her around 330pm 10/28/2024, the technician confirms my son needs front brakes and rotors. Calipers were rusted but told they were in working order. Service closes at 5pm. No way it will be finished.
What did you do for six and half hours?
What if he waited for his truck to be completed?
Now were into the next day ; the truck spent the night at the dealership, my son and his family are inconvenienced at this point, they have my vehicle, which now inconvenience's me. On 10/29/2024 around 1137am I call the dealership, because the service person, Cameron, cant make updated phone calls to inform people of the status of their vehicles. She informs me that all that is left is the brake job. At 230 this afternoon we were able to pick up my sons truck.
WHY did it take 36 hours for a front pad and rotors, oil change and transmission flush?
When you call and make a service appointment why is it with the service advisor and not the technician (per Cameron)? When I hung up the phone with Ms. Cameron my cell phone caller ID showed "Garvey Auto Group" (We chose Whiteman's because we assumed it was a family run business).
If that is the case and Garvey is involved with Whiteman's, its no wonder we received crappy service and it took 36 hours for the minor /standard mechanic repairs to be completed in an UNtimely manner.
When I call and make a doctors, dentist or any other appointment for a certain time, it stands to reason that I will see the professional in that time frame, not the next day?!.
This is NOT the first time we have had an appointment and the vehicle wasn't looked at till way later in the day. This happened to us in July 2024 for his Rear brakes. We thought it was a fluke and one time thing, bad day etc. Apparently it is standard practice at this dealership.
