Yesterday, my Buick was at the dealership for 9 hours for the replacement of the brake pads and spark plugs, due to a loud squeaking noise. When I picked up the vehicle, I was assured that everything was in the replacement of the brake pads and spark plugs, due to a loud squeaking noise. When I picked up the vehicle, I was assured that everything was in proper working order and was charged $1,400. On my way home, I immediately noticed that the same noise was still present, exactly as before the “repair.” When I later reviewed the invoice at home, I discovered the following discrepancies: The invoice indicates that only the spark plugs were replaced; The 10% discount coupon I provided was not reflected on the invoice; The invoice states that payment was made in cash, although I always pay by card. I contacted the dealership to report these issues and was instructed to return the following morning. This morning, I was informed that the brake pads had not been replaced because they were supposedly “in good condition,” and that only the brake rotors were resurfaced. This is highly questionable, as brake pads are typically replaced at around 60,000 miles, while my vehicle currently has 90,000 miles. Moreover, brake pad replacement was explicitly requested by me during the initial visit. I was also told that since the vehicle is under warranty, the brake pads would now be replaced. This raises an obvious question: why was this not done during the original 9-hour service visit, when the issue was clearly reported? When I asked why the 10% discount was not shown on the invoice, the manager stated that it had been applied, but that the finance department failed to document it. This raises a serious concern: how can an official invoice be issued with inaccurate or misleading information? I requested that the old brake pads be returned to me. After an additional 4 hours, I picked up the vehicle with the brake pads replaced; however, the old pads were simply thrown into a box, without any explanation. I cannot be certain that these were actually my original pads, although they appeared to be in very poor condition. My question is: who will compensate me for the inconvenience, lost time, unprofessional service, and inaccurate documentation related to this matter? More
