Made an appointment on Monday to bring my car in on Thursday morning. When I got there on Thursday, I was told I wasn't on the schedule; but that they could squeeze me in. (This was for an oil change, differential fluid change and alignment...i.e., nothing at all tricky, and I brought my own fluids and filter). I told them I needed to pick up the car no later than 2:45 PM, so I could pick my 11 year old up at school at 3:00. They said, "no problem". At 2:45 I hadn't heard from them, so I called to get the status. They said, "You'll be next on the lift". They hadn't even started! I told them not to do anything and that they needed to give me a ride to the shop. I showed up at my kid's school at 3:25...they teacher had to stay with him in the classroom. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice...well, that's not going to happen!
Good morning Tom, We apologize for the confusion on the appointment scheduling. We informed you that we were in the process of changing software companies and misplaced your appointment. This resulted in a scheduling issue. When you arrived to drop off your vehicle your expected completion time was between 2:00 - 3:00pm. You were not sure that you wanted to leave the vehicle at first, then decided you had another vehicle to use and asked for a ride home. We accommodated this request and provided you a ride home. You later phoned in stating that your other vehicle would not start, causing an issue with picking up your son. We explained that this again put us in a position of not being able to complete your vehicle in the time frame you needed. We tried our best to get your vehicle in sooner, but will not remove another vehicle from a lift to make this happen. Other customers were in the process of being serviced prior to your arrival and it would not be fair to them. We are sorry that we could not make this happen for you on this occasion. If you change your mind and wish to give us another opportunity to service your vehicle we assure you a much better experience.
