Good Morning Miss Tucker, I’m sorry to hear that you feel you weren’t treated fairly at Car-On Auto. After 34 years in business in the same community we have built a good reputation which we care about. We would not risk tainting our reputation over something such as this. As you and Simon discussed on the phone yesterday, because of the volume of money we take in over the course of a month, management has very strict “cash handling” procedures to avoid instances such as the one you mention. Allow me to recap the situation. On August 19th 2016, you visited our dealership. You were served by our sales associate Kevin and agreed to purchase a 2012 Nissan Versa. While completing the worksheet you indicated to him that you would make a $1,500 deposit. Kevin indicated on the sales worksheet a sale price of $8,426 and a deposit of $1,500 against the purchase. As per Car-On procedures, both you and Kevin then signed that worksheet. Should you wish to review that worksheet and your signatures, we have them on file and will gladly share them with you. You then sat down with Simon, our finance manager and you indicated you would bring the $1,500 deposit at time of delivery. As per Car-On procedures Simon noted that on his pre-delivery log sheet and prepared all the documents accordingly. On August 26th, as agreed, you came to pick up your car. You and Simon then reviewed all the documents (bill of sale, bank contracts and warranty registration form) and you then gave Simon your deposit of $1,500. As per Car-On procedures, because your deposit was cash, Simon counted the money in front of you, (there were 15 X $100 bills). Simon then printed your receipt on the spot and both you and he signed this receipt. Simon then took the money and his copy of the receipt to our accounting office, where, again, as per Car-On procedures, Suzie, our controller counted the money a second time and stamped the receipt for $1,500. Should you have misplaced your copy, we will gladly review the original signed documents with you. We are somewhat surprised that it’s been over a month since you’ve taken delivery of your car and you are just now bringing this to our attention. As mentioned before, with the volume of transactions that we handle, we have very strict procedures in place for handling cash. For your peace of mind, there is a clear document trail with multiple signatures including yours, throughout the purchase transaction. We will gladly sit down with you at your convenience to clear up what seems to be a misunderstanding.

Good morning Mr. Lafleur I am really sorry to hear of your mishap with the 2011 Nissan Rogue. Having issues with any car is never pleasant. I am however compelled to bring to light a few pertinent facts that shine a somewhat different light on the situation. When the prior owner of the Rogue traded her vehicle in to us, she gave us only one key that she had in her possession. When you purchased it from us in March 2016 ( 6 months ago) we gave you the complete package we received from her which included one key. Over the course of the summer, she moved and while packing boxes found a second key for the Rogue. In an effort to please, she dropped off this extra key to us. In light of the fact that we had sold the car close to 6 months earlier, most dealerships would have tossed the key in the garbage but we decided to notify you that an extra key had been found. Jacques, your salesperson, immediately called you and advised you that we had received an extra key for the Rogue and invited you to come by the dealership. You told him you were quite busy and asked if he could mail it to you, which he did. A few weeks later you called our service department and said your vehicle didn’t start. You had it towed to us and after some diagnostics it was determined that the cause was the key that you sent with the towing had never been programmed. After asking you a few questions we put the pieces of the puzzle together and concluded that you were trying to start the vehicle with the spare key that Jacques had sent you. You, unfortunately, hadn’t tried this key till that day and your wife was away with the “good” key. You had assumed that this spare key would work which it didn’t. While it unlocked the car, it was never programmed to the vehicle. As soon as you brought the “good” key to us your vehicle started right up. Despite the fact that I understand your disappointment, I feel the onus should have been on you to try that spare key when you received it in the mail rather than assume it worked, and for that I think you need to take ownership. My second, and main concern, is that your experience with Car-On had been up to that point great, based on your prior communications with Jacques. In trying to help you by providing this extra key, we potentially have lost a good customer that we value. As a result of this unfortunate chain of events, we are now adjusting our company policy. We will either do like most other dealerships and throw away any extra keys turned in after the sale or the customer will need to come to the dealership with the vehicle so that we can confirm that the key actually belongs to that car and works properly. Mr. Lafleur, once again I apologize that this well intentioned gesture by Jacques has caused this dilemma for you and I am hoping we can somehow re-earn your valued clientele in the future.
