This is a LONG overdue shout out to Lisette Figueroa and the technician who replaced my car’s battery.
On the afternoon of Friday, DEC 8, 2023, in horrible LA traffic, I drove to Lexus South Bay, and made it there pretty close to closing time. I had had numerous AAA jump starts because my car would not start without them, so I desperately needed a battery. I was also distraught because my mom was gravely ill, so I had to get back to West LA where she was hospitalized in order to be by her side.
Because it was so late when I arrived, the guy who greeted me told me I’d probably have to come back another day. But I really needed the battery replaced so I asked to speak to the service advisor on duty. That young lady was Lisette.
In short, after hearing my plea, she called a technician and very nicely asked if he would work longer (on a Friday no less) to install my battery. He agreed and I was beyond grateful! Because the battery was under warranty, Lisette told me it would take about an hour.
While there, I shared with Lizette that my mom was really ill and she listened intently. She was compassionate and comforting which helped to put me at ease.
I then sat in the waiting room but about 25 minutes later, I became anxious and decided I’d better leave and get back to my mom. I informed Lisette that I’d leave the car and catch an Uber back to the hospital. But she gently stopped me and told me not to go because my car was just about finished! Five minutes later, I was in my car, completely relieved, and headed back to the hospital.
I know my review is long and not typical, but I just wanted Lisette and the Lexus team to know how much I appreciate her going the extra mile for me on that Friday night back in DEC 2023. She could have rightly informed me that I arrived too late and my car could not be serviced, but she did not. Instead, she made sure that my car was in working order when I left. This thoughtful gesture meant even more to me because of my mom’s grave condition (she passed away 3 days later) and my fragile mental state.
So thank you, Lisette, for your outstanding customer service, stellar support, and kind disposition! You exemplify the qualities and people skills that many of us should strive for!
