Dealership Sales Review

Employees Lie and Managers Won’t Do Anything
Written by SLang on 01/04/2022

My husband and I purchased a new F150 a few months ago. The truck is great and the salesman was terrific; however that day when we sat down with Chris in finance he indicated if we ever wanted to cancel the warranty and gap coverage to come back to him and he would get cash in our pocket, whereas most other places would apply the refund to the loan principal. We usually decline this coverage and the only reason we decided to is because of what he said. A few weeks ago we decided we would like to cancel the coverage and not only was Chris very slow to respond, he indicated he could only apply the refund to the principal. We then spoke to a manager, Mike, who not only said the same thing but was rude, unprofessional, and basically tried to talk us out of it by making us feel stupid. At no point did he apologize for any miscommunication or state he would talk to Chris to make sure he wasn’t giving people the wrong impression or make any attempt to remedy the situation. After being in management for 20 years I can’t imagine dealing with a customer that way. All we were asking is that the dealership honored its word and to be honest it seems that Chris is purposely lying to customers to sell warranties and earn a commission. I next reached out to Matt, another manager, and all he did was pass me off to someone that still hasn’t contacted me. Obviously nobody cares about the customer so I wouldn’t recommend buying here.

The email we received included the warranty refund information, but the Gap coverage amount was missing and we requested both. Also, your still not addressing the root cause, which is we want the refund returned to us (not the lender) as promised by Chris. You have yet to accept responsibility for the inaccurate things he told us and probably numerous other customers. Absolutely nothing has been done to remedy the problem, not even a simple "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." It just shows arrogance and a lack of caring on your behalf. Furthermore, Matt indicated that Heather would be reaching out to us with the information and she still has not. We haven't returned the forms because an agreement hasn't been reached to properly disburse the funds as promised. At this point the owner needs to be involved and we will wait to hear from him.

We have reached out multiple times. We have emailed the cancelation form twice as well. All that needs to be done is a simple mileage statement and the warranty funds will be sent to the lender that was used to purchase the vehicle. It will simply reduce the payoff amount for you. Again, we would be happy to handle this for you and you are more than welcome to send back the forms that have been emailed twice. Since we already have the lender, it's a pretty easy transaction. If you are refinancing, you could see if the new lender works in the money that you will be getting back towards the loan? We appreciate your business and would really like this handled as well. Please don't hesitate getting back to us.
