    I took my 2021 Subaru Crosstrek to Gerald ********* center to have a small "door ding" repaired under insurance coverage. The first issue was the fact they did not even touch the vehicle for 5 days and after investigating was told "a technician was out with an injury" however my insurance company was paying for a rental car and Gerald did not even bother to inform me.The completed repair was at the most amatuerish. The entire door does not match the rest of the vehicle. The paint texture is off. Vertical lines are visible and its very clear where the repair was done. Buffing trails are very apparent.

    We apologize to **************************** as the total lack of communication and poor workmanship by our Bodyshop, is unacceptable!  We were able to contact him yesterday and he dropped the car off to us. We will remedy the situation immediately to his satisfaction. Again, our apologies and we appreciate his patience!

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The statement made was I dropped the car off at the location. I brought the car in for an oil change at the dealership. I was no where near the collision center and I do have the car in my posession

    Sincerely,

    *********************************

    I spoke with **** myself today, and assured him that I would personally make sure this issue was corrected.  With the current weather, I am going to try to get him set up with another repair facility to get his Subaru repaired correctly.  Again, our apologies for the poor repair, and we appreciate his patience.  **** has my cell number, and I will be working with him directly.

    The business was committed to providing me with trust and a solidified agreement upon a handshake, ensuring the information they took on May 14th, 2022 was not going to be submitted for a credit application. A month later in June of 2022 I received a letter from Gerald Subaru of Naperville that my credit was run without my permission. The dealership broke our handshake agreement that my information would not be used and ran my credit. That was a hard inquiry and brought my credit score down. This needs to be addressed formally and fixed. I would like to receive a letter stating they intend to report back to the Credit Breuers to let them know they broke a legally binding agreement and that the credit information submission was a mistake.

    On 5/14/22, ***************** did in fact come to the Subaru store in Naperville with the intent to purchase a vehicle.  She did fill out the credit application and sign the application.  The customer also signed the Credit Score disclosure statement when we reviewed her credit score with her.  We know nothing of a "handshake agreement" and clearly the customer knew she applied for credit, and it was processed; as she signed both attachments accordingly.
