Mr. Chambers,

I wanted to follow to my recent e-mail regarding the missing NAV disc and floor mats for my van. I have received communication from both Paul Bertoli (twice actually) and from my sales man at the dealership. They have informed me the items have been ordered and gave me an anticipated arrival day. Both have stated they will each call me to confirm the arrival so I don’t “have a wasted trip”. I would like to thank you and your corporate staff with assisting me and for trying to make things right. The only thing I wanted was communication and now I have that. Thanks again.

First I would like to say my experience of buying from another HC dealership was great. My concern and complaint deals with “after the sale”. When shopping I was treated as if I was the only person on Earth. All questions were answered, no hidden fees, nothing. Heck, my sales man even brought the car TO ME for the test drive!! Anyway, I had requested that before delivery everything was included and worked (I bought a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country with factory navigation and rear DVD entertainment system). Since during the test drive the NAV disc should be “on file” and who carries a movie with them to test that option? I was assured everything worked as it should and all equipment was there. Delivery day came and while waiting for the loan docs to be drawn up, I decided to look the van over again. I noticed the NAV disc case was there but no disc. I also noticed my floor mats were not there. I mentioned this to the salesman prior to going in to sign the papers. When we were done and came out to transfer our personal belongings from our old car to the new one, he stated the NAV disc and floor mats were missing. Not to worry though as he/ they would get them for me. As the weeks passed, I would call to check the status and was told “sorry, they aren’t here yet but should be soon”. Over the last couple of weeks, I have left messages for a return call to update me on the status, but I didn’t receive a single call back. I called again this morning and had to leave another message as my salesman just stepped out. 4.5 hours later I had to call back and again, he just stepped out. I asked to speak to Frank (general manager) as he was also involved in the original communication regarding the missing items. Sadly for me Frank is off today however I did speak to another manager, Josh. Josh kept his promise in calling me back within 10 minutes however he couldn’t provide me with any details as he states my salesman is gone for the evening. He did however check with the parts department and confirmed the parts were NOT ordered from there. This did not sit well with me however I’m holding out faith in that they were ordered from one of the HC Chrysler dealerships. I have waited patiently for nearly 2 months but I’m growing impatient now as I feel the “service after the sale” isn’t what I hoped it to be. I’d like to also briefly mention my van was tied up in service for a week for an improper gap on a spark plug and a door lock actuator (not overly upset as the rental was paid for). I can only hope now that sending this e-mail, I can finally get the assistance needed to get the missing items for my van. Sorry for the long story but I wanted to be sure to try and get all the events listed rather than just the bad.
