Please allow me to tell you a story of exceptional customer service and overall amazing experience during the recent purchase of my 2018 911 GT3.
When I was about 7 years old living in a small town in Indiana, I begged my dad to drive me up to the foreign/exotic car dealerships on the north side of Indianapolis. We did not have much money growing up and I never had a chance to see these types of cars in person, only posters. I remember walking past BMWs, Mercedes, and other marques before arriving at the smaller Tom Wood Porsche dealer. This was 1995 and the brand new 993s were out front, I specifically remember a silver one that I have never forgotten. My passion for the brand had begun. Ever since that moment, I have put myself through college, worked hard, and focused on attaining my childhood dream.
Fast forward 21 years, in 2016 I contacted Lee Douthitt, and the amazing team at Tom Wood Porsche in Indianapolis, Indiana, about the opportunity to purchase the yet-to-be announced but highly anticipated 991.2 GT3. Ever since the very first email, Lee has been absolutely amazing to work with and displayed the upmost professionalism. Throughout the two year wait, Lee and I exchanged numerous emails, texts, and phone calls on the status of the GT3, the customized build, and car culture in general. My experience felt very personal, unique, and exceeded all my past experiences with other brands. Once my car had reached the dealership earlier this week, Lee went above and beyond by recording and sending me the entire process of unloading the car, performing the PDI, and prepping for delivery since I was not able to be there in person. I could not be happier buying this car in such a fun, personal, and seamless method. I have since become a huge advocate for Tom Wood; the way they operate and handle their customers could be a model for others to follow.
Great companies not only create great products, but also create a great customer experience, personalized for each client. The silver 993 I saw at 7 years old began my passion for Porsche s products; however, Tom Wood s amazing customer service has made me a loyal customer for many years to come.
