I am so upset about my experience at Volvo of Toronto, I felt the need to share my experience.
I take care of a luxury residence and with that its cars. I deal with several dealerships in the city, including Acura across the parking lot. This year a Volvo was added to the car list.
i was spoken down to in their service department and my Input was dismissed upon arrival. They spoke to me as if I had no idea what I was doing and took poor care of the car. (It’s not my car! And I was there for that very reason - to take care of it) they pointed my nose at all it’s problems like I was some spoiled brat. I work for these people and I need the car fixed! They drive in the mud and yes it hurts the car I’m here to get it fixed. They dismissed my comments about the mud and insisted that because I drove with a flat tire (again - I explained I was not involved) that the tire had to be replaced and it would take 2 days. They refused to check the car on the road and gave the car back with new wheel and the car still shook violently on the road after I left. Their excuse for not checking if they fixed the car - was that they had “told” me it could be mud. And that I should take better care of the car. I was at the service centre trying to take care of the car! It was just insane and their inability to stop and listen to the words I was saying was something out of a comedy sketch about men mansplaining to women.
In general - Of all my experiences in home maintenance dealing with trades and men all the time, this was the most stereotypical bad experience of my career. I would strongly advise any women to steer clear and try to find a service dealer who is able to listen and contribute to a constructive conversation without blaming the client. Sajid was lovely but didn’t follow through with testing the car like he promised before I picked it up, causing the problem. Lee was terrible at mediating and making it right without blaming his client when it was an obvious oversight of his department.
