I am utterly disappointed with the service department at - rickerda
I am utterly disappointed with the service department at Crossroads Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Prince George, VA. Despite scheduling my 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 for service, the earliest appointment I could get was over two weeks out. They set up an appointment time for 8:30 am, and we dropped off the Challenger at 8:00 am. However, by 5 pm, I had still not heard anything from the service department, so I called them. To my dismay, the person who answered the phone asked if I knew the name of my service writer, which I did not. He then suggested that I call back after 9 am to get a status on the work. The next morning, I received a call that the Challenger was ready to be picked up. When I arrived, I was handed a bill for $195.65, which was on the high end of my expectations. Keep in mind that all I needed was to have a piece of plastic trim replaced on the interior door panel, and I was supplying the part. To make matters worse, I noticed that the part they had replaced was sitting on the roof of the Challenger. It was appalling to see a service department leave parts on the roof of someone's car. When I opened the door, I realized that the broken piece had not been replaced. I immediately returned to the service department, where they discovered that the service was written up incorrectly, and they had replaced the passenger side trim with the new part. The service writer's suggested solution was to order a new part for the driver's side and replace it for free. However, since I had already paid Crossroads almost $200 to replace a part that was broken, I didn't think this was much of an offer. Adding to my frustration, when I first raised this issue, I was told that they couldn't get the replacement part and that was why I had supplied the part. The only silver lining in this whole ordeal was the mechanic who had done the work. He was present and was able to take the part they mistakenly took off the passenger and replace the broken one on the driver's side door. I expect a higher level of service and expertise from Crossroads, and I hope that they can improve their service department to better serve their customers.
