On 6/9/24, I have my 2022 Impreza in for regular - VidaFe
On 6/9/24, I have my 2022 Impreza in for regular maintenance. After two weeks of the service, I noticed that a part was missing when I opened the hood; it was the front strut tower cap. I called the service department and reported it. The consultant told me he would investigate and call me back. I waited for two weeks with no response and called again. I was routed to another person and left a message but no response again. This happened for every other week for two months. Meanwhile, I received a post-service appointment survey which I honestly filled out considering my experience about losing the part and not being updated about the status of the missing part.
On 8/7/24, Team, the dealership called me and told me they ordered the part for me and asked me to come in.
I do appreciate the fact that the part is being replaced. I however would like to share my experience and my feelings when I went to the dealership.
When I arrived and checked in with same service consultant, who was the original consultant that I worked with on 6/9/24 when I had the original service done and lost the part. After I checked in, he said and I quote “I ordered the part for you even though you gave me a zero rating in a survey and I lost $2000 dollars. I'm going to put this part on for you so you can go and I don't have to see you again." unquote.
I did not respond to the statement but what I sensed was hostility in his tone. I am not sure what he meant when he said that he doesn't want to see me again, but I have a 36k maintenance package which is still valid for another year / two services. This makes me extremely uncomfortable with bringing in my car to the same service department knowing that I am not welcome there. There's no way where I could lodge this compliant and nowhere for me to reclaim what I paid for, the remaining service visits.
