Dealership Service Review

2.2 out of 5 starsservice Rating
ES330
Written by hgutierrez on 12/13/2007
I am so disappointed with the Service I received from Putnam Lexus in Redwood City. I took my 2005 ES330 in for service on 12/13/07. When I called in to schedule my appointment I made it clear that all I wanted done to my car was to replace the back tail light and to inspect on why I had a water leak inside my car? The Service Advisor recommended the 60,000. service. I never gave him the approval or approved the work to be done. When I signed my work order I believed that I was signing the work that I had requested. Back tail light and the water leakage. Somehow he included the 60,000. mile service/ when he called me at 1:17PM to inform me that my car needed brakes and that he had order the tail light at that point I asked him about the 60,000. mile service that was on the work order. I asked what is the 60,000. mile service and what exactly am I getting for a fee if $1,159.00. He never provided me with the description of what was going to be done. At that point I asked him to please fax me in detail what they would be doing to my car. I also told him I did not want the brakes done nor did I want the service done. He than told me it was to late because he had already instructed the service department to do the work. At this point I was so upset, disappointed and let alone I felt that I was literally taken advantage. One because I am a women, second because I was in a hurry and needed to get to work, third of all I was never provided with the Itemized work order of what they planned to do to my car. I thought I could call and talk to the service Manager thinking that he would try to help, unfortunately, it was worse. He told me the "customer" that It was unfortunate that I had to learn a very costly lesson and all he could do was charge me half the price. Gee thanks! let's see Bill me $1,159. for service I didn't request, lets see since you signed the work order what I can do for your is charge you half the price for work that I didnt request. The SERVICE MANAGE also told me the "customer" that I had to apologize to him. I went WHAT. WOULD I RECOMMEND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT PUTNAM LEXUS IN REDWOOD CITY TO A FRIEND A CO-WORKER OR ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS? ABSOLUTELY NOT VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER.

You stated you signed for an estimate of $1159.00 Am I missing something here? When you sign an estimate for authorization and then call back several hours later to stop the work and are then upset and feel taken advantage of once the work is done?? Sounds to me like you should ask questions first then ok the work to be completed. Seems like you got a pretty fair deal at half price in the end.
