Unnecessary and Unacceptable
Written by vonlonda on 10/08/2018

Service Department (Advisor AMY WINDLEY) AutoNation Honda Thornton Road Lithia Springs GA. Unnecessary and Unacceptable experience from this service advisor. Service reason is the LED light needs replacing on the driver side and prior to this, the passenger side needed replacing about 4 or 5 months ago, in which I had a similar experience with the same service advisor. The part is still covered under 36/3year warranty. I called Monday of this week to schedule the appointment for the replacement. Since the prior service request had difficulty, I made a second phone call to Honda Service in which I spoke with Amy. I advised that because of the previous experience with the part not being available and having to make two trips to the dealership and have two days of my weekend disrupted. I wanted to make sure that this was not the same experience.I had an 8am appt today,arrived promptly at 7:55. I thought I had two issues but only had one. Amy assisted me with the remote starter, and it was user error(me). I thanked her for the assistance and now I'm headed to the waiting room to wait for my car only to be advised that the same part I called about on Monday and I was assured repeatedly the part was in stock, was now NOT in stock. Needless to say I was taken aback because I did all that I could to ensure that this was not a repeated experience. Amy, was nonchalant and inauthentic with her apology as I reminded her of Monday's phone call, when I felt like I was being rushed off the phone when I conveyed that I work until midnight and it's a big deal for me to get up drive 40 miles round trip for the part not to be available. Which means it's going to be 80 miles round trip and impeding on two days of my weekend,since I have to go back tomorrow. I feel as though it was a Blatant Disregard on my attempt to make sure the part was available.This experience was unnecessary and disconcerting. I would think that if an appt is made in advance the part associated with the appt should be taken out of inventory so a situation like this wouldn't happen. Also, since this is my second experience, I can't help but to wonder was I pushed to the side because I'm not technically a paying customer since it's still under warranty? I truly hope not, I have own three Honda's, so I believe in the product. What I don't believe in, is the poor service that was rendered from this service advisor Amy Windley. The shop had a Service Manager, I believe his name was Michael he had the wow factor, the positive language and a calming presence. Unlike Amy, which her only quest is to ensure you score her 100 on the survey you receive after a service appointment. He was the only reason why I decided to come back for service. I was told he was no longer working there. Needless to say I will not be back to this dealership after my light is replaced. It's going to be inconvenient to travel further out, but I refused to receive horrible service when spending my money. Vonlonda Wilson
