After my phone call with Bill yesterday, the "general manager" in which he abruptly hung up on me after yelling, I wish I could say our problems with the used vehicle were resolved. But, they were not.
My father and I were desperately trying to resolve the issue of the parking brake failing less than a day of delivery. My father spoke with Mark the "sales manager" and called the dealership multiple times leaving voicemails with not one return. In an effort to help him, I reached out to the dealership.
I spoke with Mark twice, on 12/14, in which he informed me Bill would say the same thing- the truck would have to be towed down on my father's expense for repairs at their dealer, over an hour away.
When Bill called me, he said no one forced my father to purchase the used truck and he should not have to do anything for him. The general manager continued to ask what I would do if this was a computer that failed a day after purchase? Or if the vehicle was purchased in New York what my course or action would be?
My response- have the item repaired, and to the latter the vehicle would be repaired at a dealership near me at my convenience, and at the dealer's expense. When I asked why it's my father's responsibility to get the vehicle down, at his expense, Bill replied stating my father has AAA. Not only is that completely irrelevant, I was expecting management would offer some accommodation- they have not, and we have not received an apology at any point.
I gave Bill the phone number for my father, which he already had, and after saying he would call my father- he still has not. My father is justifiably upset not only at the way he spoke to me, but also because his attempts at resolving the issue with management are ultimately going unheard.
I have purchased new and used cars, and have never experienced a sales associate, nevermind a general manager, yell at me through the phone and hang up on me.
Our attempts at addressing the issue in a reasonable and civil manner were completely disregarded by management.
My father cannot drive the vehicle, which he needs for work. I expressed this to Mark and Bill.
They also addressed my father's previous negative google review. Asking him sarcastically, how they could help him after that review when he called. Mark told me the review was rubbing salt in a wound. No recourse of action was offered on their behalf to amend the situation in any way. Bill, also called myself and my father "stubborn"- which not only added to the level of disrespect, but unjust seeing as you still have not spoken or met my father.
So, Bill, you still have my number and you have had my father's number since he ordered the vehicle. He is still waiting to hear from you as of 12/15. I understand you never apologized to me for the disrespectful phone call-you also never apologized to your customer, who you have yet to call back.
I would prefer to address this follow up in an email, but the receptionist on 12/14 was unable to provide email addresses for the sales management team. As in regards to phone calls, my father will not be reaching out, again, until there is an apology. I would truly appreciate one as well.
Although my father has done his best to accommodate the dealership's requests to no avail, as your customer, we still hope to resolve this issue in a reasonable and fair manner and will continue to try our best to cooperate with the management. Seeing as his review was recognized by management, I hope my review will result in productive, responsible, and appropriate behavior on the behalf of the sales management department. We look forward to resolving this issue. Thank you.
