Dear Mr. Stern and Mr. Stirpe,
I wanted to write you about a wonderful customer service experience that I had in your service department last week. I've always had great service from Vish, Siraz and Alan, but this incident was outstanding.
I brought my van in last Wednesday for a tire and oil change. When I picked it up afterwards, I noticed a long scratch of orange paint across the middle and back panels of the driver's side. I knew that the scratch hadn't been there the night before and I had only driven from my parking spot in a condo on Queen's Quay to your shop on Wednesday morning. I thought that I would have noticed if I'd scratched it.
Alan Baird was kind enough to look around the shop floor, but couldn't figure out how it was caused. David Boblitz even reviewed the security camera tapes and couldn't see any incident. Regardless of this, Alan told me to bring it in Friday and Satesh Puran would buff it out as a courtesy.
I drove back to my condo and pulled into the same parking spot that I've parked in for eight years. When I got out of my car, I noticed a steel pipe that matched the scratch exactly. I must have scratched it myself as I pulled out to come to your shop.
I called Alan right away and told him. He replied that I should still bring it in Friday for a courtesy buff-out. Satesh did an amazing job - the scratch is gone.
I'm on my sixth Chrysler minivan and I've been coming to you for service for 12 years. With customer service like this, I will continue to do so for a long time.
Please give the service people a big raise.
Sincerely,
Bruce Cameron
