Brand new Jeep Wrangler bought on 9/30/16 at a different location. The engine warning light already was lit?? Very disappointed and on top of it I was also dissatisfied with the service. Dropped off my car at 9am, at AutoNation in Spring TX, was told by service rep, Brett, that a rental car can't be provided until diagnostic is completed. I said okay I need a ride home. He said our service van is currently out but will be back shortly. So I went inside the waiting area. 1. After a long wait of 1 hr and 20 min., service rep walked in to get a cup of coffee and saw me. He said, "oh our driver has been around, you must have not seen or heard him when he came in here and asked if anybody needs a ride". I was thinking, duh, so I missed him, shouldn't that be your responsibility to check if I'm still in here??? 2. Went home, waited all day for my car status to see if I can pick it up the same day. Until I can't wait any longer so I called them myself at 4:35pm. Service rep said they haven't completed the diagnostic, so I asked for my free rental car. He said that I would have to pay the rental myself, out of my pocket, and I need to call Enterprise myself to get it. I'm like WHAT? I have a free rental on my paperwork and just because you haven't completed the diagnostic I can't get it for free. Then I asked if I can get reimbursement for this? He said, not sure, they have to see what the diagnostic is first. I decided not to get the rental. It will not come out of my pocket. Had to cancel a 6pm meeting because of their inefficiency. Was also told he'll call me the next day, around mid day to give status of the car. 3. Next day, waited again, no phone call. Can't wait so I called at around 2pm to get status. Can't believe what he said, "I was about to call you, I can't find the technician to get the status, been looking for him, must be out for lunch, as soon as he's back I'll call you". He called back and let me know that the car will be ready around 5pm. 4. Called me at 5pm, I missed his call, left me a voicemail saying my car is ready for pickup. I called him back and said I need a ride. He said we can give you a ride but our driver leaves at 4:30pm and he's already gone. We can arrange it for tomorrow morning. I'm thinking, I give up on this one, he doesn't think and know how important it is for a customer to have their car immediately. I told him, I'll find a way to get there. I told the service manager what's going on and how frustrated I was. AutoNation Jeep needs to know how other car dealership services work. Had a great service experience with Toyota and Lexus, also good with BMW. I know, BMW and Lexus are more expensive cars BUT that shouldn't be basis for a quality service, plus, my current Jeep car is not cheap either if you think about it. And it's still new!!! My point is, car service co. needs to make sure that a customer has a ride immediately and do not leave the customer hanging or wondering what's going on.
