Mr. Ham Thank you or your response. I have looked into your file and spoken with Chris and our lenders. Carson is unfortunately off today. I apologize for no one on my team calling you back, that is completely unacceptable and against our policy. I clearly need to do some retraining with the staff. However upon reviewing your credit application, the banks are not willing to give another auto loan. The reason for this is due to the several reported slow and missed payments. When I spoke to your current lender they mentioned at some points it was 30 days away from being reposed due top payment deficiencies. We do not judge anyone on their credit, in fact we strive to assist in those situations. Unfortunately the banks have said no and that is where it stands now. I would like to send you a complimentary gas gift card for $50 for your time and to express my apologies for us not calling you back. Again I thank you greatly for taking the time to express your concern. Please let me know your mailing address and I will mail the gift card. Craig Sabourin

Rob responded

Thank you for looking into it. Unfortunately I know I have these issues I was hoping that something could be done to get into a lower payment to help me work my way out of it but I guess that isn't going to work. My address is 1035 Braithwaite Dr Cobble Hill V0R1L4

Rob. Thank you again for your response. I have arranged to have the gift card mailed to you Monday. As I believe I have brought some resolution to your concern, may I politely ask that you remove the negative review. We truly strive each and everyday to provide all our clients with a great experience, and when we don't, I simply want to make sure we accept responsibility and make things right. I believe in your situation we have put our best foot forward. Please kindly consider my request and I look forward to hearing from you. Craig Sabourin

Good day. Thank you kindly short the information in regards to the gift card. I have checked with reception and it was sent out. I apologize it never made it to you. Please contact me directly at the dealership to make other arrangements so I can get another one to you. Thank you again for your time and feedback. Craig Sabourin

Worse place by far. Purchased a new car here and it's been nothing but a nightmare since. Once you sign the papers they don't care about you as a customer at all. Nothing More

I appreciate you taking the time to inform us of this experience, and I personally look forward to making this right and restoring your confidence in our dealership. Below is my personal cell number should you want to simply call me directly to discuss. Again thank you in advance for your time. Craig Sabourin 250-510-5254

Hi Craig. I am not a very happy customer here. I think you were the guy that Rob told me he'd be getting to give me a call. I thought everything was great up until I bought this car, now I don't even want it. I bought the "protection" package and the warranty, both of which I no longer want. Or feel I need. I was constantly told to talk to finance about it as the paper work has a ready gone through. I was told by Rob and Brodie to talk to finance, I tried talking to finance but I got bounced around three times and ended up with the same secretary as I did to start with. It hasn't been easy to get a response from anybody or a return call. Brodie told me there is no way I can get a refund for my warranty or my "protection" package. I know for a fact I can cancel my warranty. This place just seems like a money grab and nothing more. Rob said he needed you to do a transfer back to my account, Brodie said there is no way I can get what I don't want back. Somebody is lying to me here. I had no problem working with someone about this but it's beyond that now and I just want back my money for something that I never used or even got yet. I don't see the big deal. If the dealership can't reverse it I'll just take a cheque or whatever for the package and warranty. If you want you can reach me, I'd rather not bother you as I know you are probably busy 778-677-7070
