As of ~2 years ago the Service Delivery management has really deteriorated. I called on Monday and made an appt for Tuesday at 8A for one issue: patch the tire that has a screw in it. The next morning when I arrived for my appt, I also asked them to do the oil change. Around 330-4, I get a text with a summary of a ton of things that need to be fixed. Shortly after, the delivery manager calls me and says the oil change is done. I said what about the tire, he said we didn’t have approval to fix that. I said that is why I made the appt yesterday! I asked him to run me through the few other things they found and told me to go ahead and fix some of them. He said he would not be able to fix the tire, etc before the end of the day! I was obviously frustrated. I told him to keep the car and then asked him about the warning they have about leaving the car o/n. He asked if I wanted it pulled inside, and I said yes. I would have never had to ask this question a few years ago. I asked when it would be done and he said mid-morning. They called me to pick up my car 3P the next day! By then I was in meetings. I asked him if they could drop the car off to me and he said he had no one to do that. I then rearranged my sked and asked for a 4P shuttle pickup. Much to my surprise, I see MY car in the driveway at 4P. I thought he managed to figure out the delivery for me. When I got to the station, he said he didn’t sked the shuttle driver and they left so he HAD to use my car (w/o my permission), to pick me up. 🤦♀️ Calamity after calamity. I really hope the owner of Woodie’s sees this. This is not a knock on the mechanics or the shuttle drivers. The service delivery team is not focused on customer service. They need some reeducation of foundational service lessons. Less focus on selling more and more on timeliness, listening to customers, maintaining the schedule of the day and if it slips, provide timely communications to the customers. I went two days w/o a car for something that should’ve taken an hour.
