I visited this dealership on Tuesday, April 8th, with the intention of buying out my lease. The previous week, I had spoken with a sales manager named Sarah, who provided me with the necessary details, including the buyout price and a list of documents I needed to bring. She also informed me that a safety inspection would be required, and advised that I schedule an appointment for that purpose. However, when I arrived with my vehicle, I was informed by a staff member that the safety inspection would cost $189—an additional charge that had never been communicated to me. Naturally, I was taken aback, as I had received no prior indication that there would be a separate cost for the inspection. I proceeded to the front desk and asked to speak with Peter, with whom I had a scheduled appointment for 11:15 a.m. Unfortunately, the staff had no record of my appointment, even though another employee, Tammy, had texted me the week prior to confirm it. This was disappointing and highlighted a clear lapse in internal communication. When I finally spoke with Peter, he informed me that the responsibility for the safety inspection fee fell to me. He expressed no understanding or empathy regarding the fact that this charge had not been disclosed by Sarah. I then requested to speak with a manager or someone more senior. I waited over half an hour before anyone came to address my concerns. Eventually, a gentleman (he never gave me his name) approached me but stood silently without introducing himself or offering any explanation or apology. His demeanor was dismissive and unprofessional, and I was left feeling completely disregarded. When I expressed my disappointment and said that I intended to leave a review on Google, he responded in an extremely inappropriate manner—stating that he would leave a review about me. I found this not only unprofessional but deeply disrespectful. Overall, this was the most disappointing and upsetting customer service experience I’ve encountered. I expected a higher level of professionalism, transparency, and courtesy from a business of this nature. I will avoid this dealership at all costs and will advise anyone I know to do so as well. I have since taken my business to another dealership.
