I had my 2021 Atlas stalled on the street. - Namandeep
I had my 2021 Atlas stalled on the street. I called Jim Pattison VW service center because I got my car from the same dealership. When I called and explained the situation there was no clear sense of customer ship on the call of helping their customer. I explained what error i see on the screen which was "Error: Fuel System Error!" I explained that I know I have half tank full and its also showing its empty but I still went ahead and added another 15 liters of gas which i just got from Gas station using jerrycan and it still says tank is empty. I was asked to tow car in. I asked can you look at my car today (this was around 11-12 in the morning). The manager from service center told me that they are short on staff today because somebody called in sick and they are full schedule for today so they will try if not tomorrow morning he will do it. Car towed in, I called around 5 pm and asked if they looked at it. They had no clue about the whole situation. Next day same nobody had any clue. only around 2pm file was created. Again 4th time I am explaining the same thing and told the whole story again. been told they cant look at it today and it might be tomorrow. ok next day got a call back and I was told it was wire and connector damage and they will replace it and it will cost whatever. I approved. I was also told that there was no gas in the tank and it was empty. I again explained how come it must be almost full or at least 3/4 tank. because i filled it 2 days ago and another 15 liters added just before it was towed. Are you sure there is no leaks. They said no leaks but tank was empty. Next day, i went to pick up the car, I asked about the empty tank situation again. I was again told it was empty and they added gas. I paid and when i turned the car on it was 3/4 tank. I went back in asked the receptionist and the manager in service department and again both said yeah it was empty and when i told them i checked and its 3/4 tank. they went to mechanic and both said we had miscommunication. Continuing from previous question: At this dealership I had an amazing experience buying but not so great with service. They are catastrophically mismanaged from servicing the customer, customer empathy, documentation, tracking communicating, even explaining what is done on the call. Every time I ask a question, they all running like headless chickens. Your staff in service center must know what is happening. Its like working in a paint shop and you are color blind. I am not coming back, I will rather drive more where I have confidence in the dealership and its built with communication and care. I will for sure spread the word but what is good(sales) and bad(service). Basically which means you care about selling only and not taking care of your customers. I will sharing the same info with the corporate as well. The exact same feedback was sent to the dealership 3months ago and no one from the dealership contacted in last 3 months to see what went wrong and how they can improve. I am now posting it on public platform to share my experience with the world
