Initially, I had a horrible experience at Sunrise - Isabel
Initially, I had a horrible experience at Sunrise Chevrolet, but Shela, the rep, and the technicians, rectified the matter. My first interaction occurred on November 25th, the day of the initial appointment. When I arrived, I was told my car won't get looked at because they were short staffed. The service agent said she would talk to her manager and they were able to inspect my car. I left and after a few hours, I received a call informing me of the services that they would have to perform, the cost of the non-covered services and that they would order the necessary parts for the repairs. When I arrived to pick up my car, the customer service representative said the parts would be in by Monday, November 28th, and that she would call once the parts were delivered. Monday came and no call. Tuesday came and no call. I called Thursday and Friday to inquire about the status of the order and no one answered. I left voicemails and my call was never returned. I considered going to another shop, but I would have to pay the diagnostic fee so I decided to just wait. I finally got a call on Tuesday, December 6th; eight days after the estimated arrival date. I scheduled an appointment for Friday, December 9th. I arrived on Friday and I was told that the car couldn't not be serviced that same day, but that it would be ready by Saturday morning- totallyunderstandable. I accepted and left my car. Saturday morning came and no one called. I became worried and decided to call them. I started calling around noon and every time I called the service and parts department, no one answered. Around 5pm, a kind service agent answered and she took it upon herself to investigate the status of the repair. She informed me that the delay was due to a missing part; they had two weeks to order the necessary parts for the repairs. Two weeks is sufficient time to order and inspect the parts to ensure nothing was missing! I was livid upon hearing the news! I spoke to the sales manager because the service/parts manager was out. The manager didn't offer a single way to rectify or address this matter. He apologized, but he kept blaming everyone and everything else (e.g., the representative, the order itself, the absent sales/parts manager). The manager said he understood why I was frustrated, enough though I said that I wasn't frustrated, I was furious. Not only was I invalidated, but he continuously failed to address me by my correct prefix, even though I corrected him multiple times. He finally said he would inform the service manager and that someone would contact me on Monday. Then, he proceeded to hang up on me. I felt disrespected by the lack of professionalism and customer service decorum. My calls were not answered, voicemails with requests for calls are not returned, no status updates are provided, there seemed to be no accountability, and lastly, I felt as if there was no regard for a customer's schedule or demands. I had to rearrange my work schedule to accommodate this preventable delay. I understand that delays happen, but what infuriated me was the lack of communication and the disregard for a customer's schedule. Luckily, Shela and the technicians came to my rescue. They finished all the repairs by Monday afternoon and I was provided with a generous discount. The initial interactions left me with a sour taste;however, I am glad and grateful that the matter was rectified and addressed accordingly. Thank you Sunrise Chevy.
