A Better Way does a VERY poor job supporting their customers when they have an issue... After finally connecting with a sales associate, we reviewed the car and discussed the work to be performed More

Guys really?! Your public response is actually comical to which I am now dubbing it "OPERATION POSITIVE IMAGE". We went back and forth on 8/21 through DealerRater private message to which you never replied or made any attempt to make good on the inferior parts and faulty workmanship only to post this public response on the morning of the start of Labor Day weekend. I was actually shocked when I received the response above in email this morning but since readers have no idea what I am referring to, let me post our private messages, to which you never responded, below: A Better Way Wholesale Autos responded PRIVATELY on 8/21/21 9:15 AM Nick, providing a positive experience is our top priority, and we're sorry that we failed here. We'd love the opportunity to discuss your visit in greater detail and clear up any issues we can. If it's possible to talk about your experience one-on-one, please reach out to us directly to let us know the best way to contact you and we will reach out to you. Nick M responded PRIVATELY on 8/24/21 10:27 PM Thank you for your response however, contact is not necessary as I proactively corrected the issues at my own expense. I own my company and have posters to remind my employees the importance of doing the job right the first time. Three posters which immediately come to mind are "If you don't have time to do it right the first time, how will you have time the second time" - "You never get a second chance to make a first impression" - "Your actions speak louder than your words" We live by these sayings every day in our business and offer the best services using only the highest quality products for our customers. The fact that your company used the cheapest quality brakes money could buy is upsetting especially given the fact that the two times I was at your location, the Danbury Mercedes Benz van was on site delivering OEM parts. I wrongfully assumed this was a good sign and had no concerns whatsoever that OEM parts would be installed on the vehicle I purchased from ABW Auto, I was wrong. The photos posted on Yelp show the quality of parts buyers may receive when having their vehicle serviced at ABW Auto. With regard to the pads being installed upside down, maybe the tech was having a bad day or overwhelmed, no one is perfect but ordering cheap parts to keep margins as high as possible, that's where you lost me. It's a shame because had high quality OEM parts been installed this would have been a 4 star transaction. I'd be more than happy to change my rating if you would like to refund the $620.55 it cost to replace the front brakes however, it's not necessary as I am fortunate enough in life where I can afford it, sometimes it’s just principle and a matter of doing the right thing.
