Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for not delivering an exceptional experience. We never like seeing that we didn't meet the standards customers have come to expect, but reviews like this help us improve. If you don't mind reaching out to us so that we can speak directly, we'd love to address your concerns in detail.

It's cool that the general manager got back to me, and I'm hoping things turn around. I totally get that culture's shifting, customer service is going downhill, and everything's getting more expensive. I wish I could just fix my car myself and save some cash, but with all the tech advancements, that's just not happening anymore. I just want to feel like if I'm shelling out my money, I can at least trust that things will be handled right, even when I'm not looking or can't see what's going on. My final receipt says I got a car wash, and I didn't. Little things like that make you wonder if they'd lie about bigger stuff. I was always taught that if you focus on people, the money will follow.
