Initial Complaint

- Complaint Type:
- Service or Repair Issues
- Status:
- Answered
I am writing to file a complaint against this business for not honoring insurance claims. On 4/3 I brought my car in because 3 tires got nails in them. They were supposed to replace these flat tires with new ones. At first , the mechanic refused to listen to me that all 3 tires are flat. He was only willing to replace two tires. After talking to them for a while, they reluctantly patched the third tire. It is not safe to drive on the highway in this condition. When i scheduled my appointment with them, i expressed that I needed 3 tires to be replaced. If they only had 2 in stock, why did they schedule today for me? In order for me to make it to this appointment, i had to miss half day of work. I was told i can bring my car back for a tire replacement in the future, but then i would have to miss another half day of work. Whos going to compensate me? In addition to this, toyota ardmore seriously lacks customer service. They refused to assist me when I needed help, they all just left me there alone when I had a problem. Not only they do not honor tire replacement as agreed upon, they are also extremely racist and condescending.Business response

Hello ************************** and BBB,
With regards to customer ************************* and his recent service visit, the customer came in and was given a transparent up front analysis of the issues with their tires. The customer initially complained of 1 tire showing a nail. The dealership inspected all the tires and found two other tires with nails in them. The dealership followed all proper protocols with the Tire Protection Plan and determined that two of the three tires needed to be replaced and would be covered by the Tire Protection Plan. The 3rd tire was inspected and determined that it didn't need to be replaced as the nail did not penetrate the tire rubber. However, the customer used an object in front of staff to puncture the tire. Even though this took place, as a courtesy the dealership paid for the tire repair patch. The customer wanted to the tire replaced, and was still not happy. The dealership followed all proper steps and Tire Manufacturer guidelines with the proper and safe Tire patch on the 3rd tire, and was willing to assist the customer throughout the process, even though the customer was acting in an unprofessional manner with staff and around guests.
Thank you,

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Thank you for your invitation, however I decided that another ****** dealership would be a better choice for me to have my car serviced at due to the following reasons:
1. what was said in your in your initial response was not truthful. See attached.
2. I repeatedly said to the receptionist how difficult for me to take off from work and how much I needed to get things done that same day. Regardless of my plea, I was ignored.
3. I felt insulted and discriminated upon therefore I do not feel comfortable returning.
Regards,
