Right off the bat, I knew this guy was having a bad day and also he seemed new because I've never seen his face before.

Told him I needed an oil change, and then I came back 20 minutes later to ask him to check out the issue with my rocking driver's seat. Says sure, he'll take care of it and have the technician check it out and see what he thinks. I'm assuming at this point, he's going to put it in the computer and update my work order. All work is put into the system for each car's work order. We all know that right? From minor stuff to major stuff like windshield wiper replacement to some random shit, everything is in the work order.

2 hours passed, and my car is done. First thing I asked was, did you check the driver's seat? He looked surprised and puzzled. Quickly responded "oh yea, you know we looked at it , most likely an issue with the seat rails, ya know?". Okay... i'm thinking that this is coming from the technician. If it is, then it should be in the work order right?

so I go to the cashier's desk to pay for the oil change and I looked at the work order. No where does it say that they investigated the driver's seat. This freaking SA lied to my face with a bold face lie. What an ass. I didn't confront him, I was simply going to wait and blast him later.

2 days later, I get an email from the service director asking about my experience. I told him exactly how I felt by email and how he was incompetent of his job, that his demeanor looked like he hated his job, and how he lied to me about checking out my seat when it wasn't even on the work order result.

I'm not sure if I feel bad, cause I may potentially affect this guy's job. I know he is a new guy and I've never seen his face before at this local dealership. But I truly know that he has one of the poorest customer service demeanor I have ever witnessed. Everybody has a happy face, a smile, and a greet. This guy was like, he just didn't want to deal with you, period! Yes, he is young and probably inexperienced.

But listen boys, if you are having a bad personal day, I get it! Just tell me that you're having a bad day and I"ll go get another service agent to work with. But don't lie to my face! Or if you really forgot to order the work, then say you forgot about the work, and then you can take the car back again to check it out. Why you have to let me catch you later?
Depending on the stealership, they probably don't even read these. Mine sure doesn't.
