I came to Hawthorne Chevy for my 3rd oil change on my Chevy Silverado. Scheduled the appointment for 8:30. There was barely anybody there which was surprising to me because the last time I was there on a Saturday at 8:30 it was jam packed. Being that there was barely anyone there, I figured I d be in and out in no more than an hour. I expressed to the service writer that I had waited for over 2 hours for my last oil change and wasn t pleased. I asked him how long the service would take, not trying to rush them because I just want good service and could spare some time for them to do so. He told me no more than an hour and that he d come get me in the waiting room after the truck was done. I saw them pull my truck out after an hour and 20 minutes and thought since the service writer didn t come get me that they maybe weren t done. So I waited another 20 minutes then finally got up to ask if the truck was done or not. The other service writer said yes and that he would get the man that was handling my truck to get the paper work and said specifically people don t want to hang out here all day, could you get this gentleman set so he could get his truck and go which was correct. Do you think I really wanted to hang out for another half hour or more when my truck had been done already for that time?! A simple knock on the waiting room door sir, your Silverado s service is complete here are your keys have a nice day would ve been the right thing to do. Cmon guys, this isn t rocket science.. it s really not that hard to keep customers happy and WANTING to come back for their next service. It s the little things that might keep your customers coming back or have them never return for service again.
