Kobe Monte at birchwood auto is unprofessional, a liar - Monica Fyfe
Kobe Monte at birchwood auto is unprofessional, a liar and should not work there.
Kobe is a financial manager at Birchwood GMC, after I agreed to purchase a 2022 GMC AT4 Canyon from Scott.
I was sold undercoating for my truck. Looking at my carfax it was done brand new (when the vehicle was purchased) Feb 13, 2026. I inquired to Kobe why would it need to be redone. He said via text undercoat generally lasts 5 years, but due to winnipeg weather we get customers down 3-4 years. So, under his guidance I said okay. Not thinking much of it.
I was also told they would fix my dents from the hail damage PRIOR to when I purchased.
I said that was great. I was told it would get in after the weekend (since it was Friday when I officially purchased it). I left my truck there to get the work done. A week rolled around, no word. I called to ask about my truck. The agreed to give the truck to me and they would schedule the dent repair and everything later. No mention of the undercoating. After inspection, it did not look new at all.
After a few weeks of no contact from the dealership I reached out to Scott, who responded quickly, that no one has contacted my about the hail damage. He did get me in touch with a lady named Alexandra Gray for this on July 14th. She asked me a claim number. I stated I did not have one. She said thank you for clairfying that, and would contact them to deal with it.
August 19th, I reach out to Alexandra again to see if there was any word as it was OVER A MONTH once again, no contact, no follow up.
She appologized and said she would follow up with Kobe & team as she has not heard anything about the claim yet, therefore she can't book the appointment.
I contact Kobe once more on the same day about this problem, as well as Scott- stating I am unhappy.
He does not contact me until the next day that SCOTT has brought my concern to management and will get dealt with ASAP, and is CERTAIN that the undercoating is done, that it is just the dent repair.
I ask for proof that it has been done.
He said I will see if there is an RO for the undercoat.
I have not heard back from Kobe since that interaction on August 20th.
I finally get in for the dent repair, and bring my concerns up about the undercoating to the person I hand my truck over. Again, nothing written down about this in my file, even after I have now told multiple people about this concern that it has NOT been done, and I have not been given any proof it has been done. He said he will look into it.
The service advisor calls me the next day to say my truck is ready to pick up- again I ask about the undercoating- he just goes "Oh ya... I will get back to you." No one has gotten back to me at all.
So I get Scott to call me as upon RESEARCH of this company- the give lifetime to the undercoating/5 years if used. Well this undercoating is less than 4 years old. So why am I paying for this if it there is a guarentee? This warranty is transferable if there has been no claims made, which according to carfax there has not been, nor has it been disclosed.
Why? Because Kobe lies and is unprofessional that lacks having an follow up, accountability and lack of knowledge of the product he is even selling.
I want my money back for the undercoating.
