Very Poor Service Experience — Lack of Communication and Unreasonable Delays
We brought our 2021 Jeep Wrangler to Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Santa Fe after becoming extremely dissatisfied with the service department at Larry H. Miller in Albuquerque, where we had been longtime customers.
We made the decision to drive approximately an hour to Santa Fe because we were hoping for a better, more professional service experience.
Unfortunately, the experience has been even worse.
Our Jeep has been at Lithia for nearly three weeks and is still not repaired. It took more than two weeks just for the vehicle to be seen, and throughout the process, communication has been extremely disappointing.
We are repeatedly forced to initiate calls and text messages to obtain updates. Many of those messages go unanswered. There appears to be little urgency or concern about the inconvenience this creates for customers who are without their vehicles.
I understand that repairs can take time and that service departments encounter scheduling challenges. What I don’t understand is why a customer should have to repeatedly chase down basic information about the status of their vehicle.
A professional service department should communicate delays, provide realistic timelines, and keep customers informed without requiring constant follow-up.
We made a significant effort to give this dealership an opportunity to earn our trust. Instead, we’ve experienced the same problems we were trying to escape, only worse.
I sincerely hope dealership management reviews our experience and addresses the communication and customer service issues within this department.
Based on our experience, I would not recommend Lithia Santa Fe for vehicle service.
