Thank you for your review. We take concerns regarding our workmanship seriously, which is why we inspected the vehicle and reviewed the condition of the damaged panel with you. To clarify the facts, the panel showed clear physical damage. The fasteners/screws were still properly secured to the portions of the panel where they attach; however, the panel material itself had been torn away around those attachment points. This is an important distinction, as the fasteners were not simply left loose or missing. We can send photographs for reference showing the condition of the panel and the areas where the material was damaged. Regarding the claim that we attempted to sell approximately $5,000 in unnecessary repairs, we explained during our conversation that you had not regularly serviced the vehicle with our dealership and had not visited us since 2024. Our intention was not to pressure you into purchasing those repairs from us. In fact, I specifically recommended that you address the identified concerns with the repair facility that has been regularly servicing your vehicle over the past two years. During the inspection, we also documented areas where oil contamination was present and explained our concern that prolonged exposure to oil can deteriorate certain rubber and plastic components and contribute to weakened material. When you stated that the additional concerns we identified were not present and accused us of being dishonest, I personally showed you the photographs and video taken during the inspection so you could see the conditions we were referencing. At no point was the purpose of that discussion to distract from your concern about the damaged panel. We were explaining what we physically observed on the vehicle and providing the supporting photographic and video evidence. We understand that you disagree with our assessment. However, based on the physical condition of the panel, the attachment points, and the evidence documented during our inspection, we respectfully disagree with the characterization that the panel was simply not reattached properly following the oil change.

Johnny, I find it very interesting that this review response is the first you ever mentioned deteriorating plastic under my car, and that if this was the case, why wasn't it mentioned to me when the oil change was done to bring this to my attention and added to the list of other recommended repairs? Only after the issue of the oil change access panel coming loose 10 minutes after leaving your dealership and me giving your dealership the chance to make it right, does the story keep evolving about other reasons not to take responsibily for what was likely an innocent oversight by the technician. Your story about me unknowing hitting something in the road within 10 minutes of leaving your dealership so hard to knock a metal panel loose was just too hard to swallow. It was very insulting and demeaning that you would say that, insinuating that I was a bad driver and didnt take regular care of my vehicle to realize what happened. I had been taking my car to your dealership regularly for maintenance since 2012, with the exception if a few major issues that your dealership was just to costly, so I had them done elsewhere. When I tried another place in 2024 for oil changes, I simply had gotten too irritated with your service department of regularly being pressured with excessive upselling of unnecessary or already completed repairs. I tried to give your service department another chance this time, but i see now, I should have stayed away. Congratulations! You saved your dealership a couple bucks not fixing the issue, but you will never get another dime from me. This unethical behavior is not just with the service department, it is a culture issue, since management would not address the problem either. I will gladly drive an hour out of my way to never darken the door of your dealership ever again.
