I brought my car in for it's first service and a concern... - Jason
I brought my car in for it's first service and a concern I had with some odd wear on the soft top. I arrived and Matt looked over my concerns and let me know what to expect.
I stayed there at the facility, the typical free coffee/water/soda and a clean newer space with plenty of seating.
The service was completed within the quoted 90 minutes. I was sent a link to a video explaining what was done and what the tech found with the top. This bit here was top notch!
The video addressed my conerns and the dealership didn't just take ownership of all my concerns, they did one better. They took responsibility for the wear, and with Mazda USA offered to replace the top due to wear.
The great part was one of my concerns with the top was user error. In the video the tech explained the correct way to close the top. I was slightly off, surprising since it's such a simple task but it was my bad.
They didn't have the part in stock, no one in the state did really. So they had to have it shipped in and kept my car. They did provide a loaner car.
There was a delay in shipping and the repair took longer than originally quoted. No problems here since it was communicated and I don't know a dealership that can control the weather.
When I was able to pick up my car it was a full 7 days later 3 more than originally quoted due to delays. All was handled correctly. On inspecting the car there was some damage to the paint.
This is where it gets even better. They addressed this issue directly and with the same professional manner they did my original concerns. I had to schedule another appointment to bring it back to have it sent to the body shop.
When the body shop got my car Mike, the service manager, contacted me directly and offered a couple of solutions which is great. Explained the pros and cons of each and gave his suggestion but did allow me to decide on what route to go.
I'm happy to say I've got my car back and I'm thrilled for having such a great experience with a dealership service department considering how much of a bad rap they've gotten.
I will be going back.
