I am so extremely unhappy with the lack of quality service I experienced and the damage done to my 2005 Range Rover HSE while at Land Rover South Bay. My vehicle was returned to me with more than 5 severe issues that have never been an issue ever before! I had to repair the damages that arose from the vehicle being AT Land Rover South Bay at another auto shop that specializes in only Land Rover repairs. Not to my surprise, the approximate $3,000 repair Land Rover South Bay (Jesse) estimated and ALL of the new sudden problems after visiting the dealership were from a blown and loose fuse!! Whether the mechanic that worked on my vehicle directly did this and worked independently to loosen/swap out these fuses or if this was yet another attempt at a calculated plan between several of LRSB employees; it completely disgusts me that the GM of Land Rover South Bay (Terashita) chose to stand by employees/mechanics that are altering vehicles in order to generate ongoing or unneeded repairs. Perhaps this malice action was performed and I was targeted STRICTLY because of my gender and/or age and possibly my race due this being a male dominated automotive setting.
I paid $180 for a diagnostic and upon picking up my vehicle I never received anything except a monetary receipt day of pick up -- until we demanded the actually diagnostic paperwork magically "found" the next day and after receiving the car back with several damages. It is UNACCEPTABLE to pay for a service estimate and to receive my car in an impaired condition than it was brought in.
Jesse, lied directly to my face when I returned to the dealership moments later after driving off in my vehicle and discovered the new issues. When I questioned did a mechanic forget to connect anything in the vehicle while assessing, he stated in person the only thing that was done was a computer read out/diagnostic. Unfortunately for me, that was a lie because over the phone before scheduled pick up, they made sure to inform me to give ample time before I return the loaner vehicle so "they could put it [my vehicle] back together." That is directly how my fuses were swapped to trigger the snowball of sudden electrical issues. That is WRONG and I have uncovered the deceitful practices taking place at Land Rover South Bay.
In the very least, I received my money back for the diagnostic, new problems, the lack of care, ethics, and service that I was NOT provided however not even including the additional out of pocket costs to repair the new electrical damages no thanks to yo. What an extreme disservice Land Rover South Bay is doing to their customers and not treating them with the respect and quality customer service the luxury brand of Land Rover is known for and stands by!
Attempts to correct the situation was an until battle therefore, I am continuing with my formal complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Land Rover Customer Service Center UK, National Automobile Dealer Association and others. I know I am not the only young female that has been victim to such deceitful antics and I will get to to bottom of this by noticing every association, cooperation, organization, media outlets, and more that I can find to shed light on this dirty practice that is ongoing at Land Rover South Bay.
Above all and what was yet another failed realization is how my safety was jeopardized after my vehicle was left and altered in your care.
Lastly lastly lastly, stop sending me flyers in the mail. I hate this dealership and wish I had a fireplace to burn all of the flyers you litter my mailbox with. (Only since unsubscribing constantly seems to do nothing but encourage more flyers.)
