Terrible management, GM Curtis LLoyd and service dept, waited over 4 days for my new vehicle to find out it had been sent to Chevy GMC to be fixed for a transmission issue which was not disclosed at time More

Serra Volkswagen responded

We greatly appreciate the feedback so that we can investigate issues. While the customer was test driving the vehicle, the shifter knob was sticking. The vehicle was taken immediately to service upon her return to the dealership and the customer continued on with the sale of the vehicle. When our service dept sent the vehicle to the detail shop getting it ready for delivery, the check engine light came on and the vehicle was again taken to the service dept. While we apologize for the length of time that it took to get to the vehicle and diagnose the issue, no one knew that it was a transmission issue at the time of purchase. It was then decided to send the vehicle to our Chevy dealership down the road in order to repair the vehicle with Chevy trained technicians. When the customer asked to receive her trade-in vehicle back and to back out of the purchase, we obliged. Our GM was never made aware of the issue until that time. The failing to alert the GM was a lack of communication in personnel and one which has been addressed with all employees of the dealership.

Once again, no reverence for the grieving and no reply to that statement about my pictures taken of my trade in the same day. These workers want to sit and eat popcorn and be on their cell phone all day. The GM Curtis Lloyd must spend his time writing to all of these bad reviews, the same copy pasted post. They only care about the 9K trade in they see in the lot, not the memories kept by the owner, not the people they deal with, not the honesty of a prudent business. The facility is also dirty, missing numerous ceiling tiles or wet/damaged ceiling tiles, restroom missing soap. I drove past the service dept on the day it was supposed to be detailed and given back to me, nothing but TONS of workers standing around and playing loud rap music. Be warned if you are in business with them.

Yes ma'am, we have plenty of respect for the grieving. This is why we didn't bring up the subject of your son when we responded. I, the HR manager and having lost a child myself, would never trample on anyones memories as I know how sensitive a subject it can be. I am very sorry for your loss. Had it been my car with a memorial to my son, I would have removed it before trading the vehicle in. Again, we thank you for bringing all of this to our attention.

The statement you JUST made "Had it been my car with a memorial to my son, I would have removed it before trading the vehicle in" is just distasteful and disgraceful. My husband and I could not bring ourselves to remove it prior to leaving for this transaction, due to emotional circumstance. So your response does not sit well with me.

Didn't have any problems. Car was done in a day at a lower price than quoted (and when does that ever happen?!). More
