10/10! Please forward this response to the GM. Yesterday, my wife and I brought her 2016 Jeep Cherokee in for service. Long story short, it had a check engine light that a previous shop said they could not clear.
We'd have too many negative, costly, and in my opinion, down right disgusting results from recent experiences in the last few years with our local Jeep dealership. I was absolutely dreading getting this issue addressed. My wife and I are in our early senior years, and the last thing we need is undue anxiety.
I believe that you've put together a great team that completely won us over to making your dealership our go to from now on. Kudos to your leadership! A lot of small details contributed to an easy and actually delightful visit.
First, the layout of the facilities was simple to navigate with very strategically situated signage that lead us to the precise service destination. Kudos!
Next, we were greeted by an elder, very friendly and jovial gentleman who staged and parked us. Some might consider his status as somewhat insignificant. However, he was the first person we meant on arrival. He was the face of your dealership who immediately brought a smile to our faces and lessened our anxiety. Kudos! He directed us the to the adjacent location of the service reps.
The proximity of the staging lanes and the service representatives, with expansive windows is another small but psychologically comforting situation. We didn't just abandon our vehicle in a random parking spot and then search for our previously arranged Service Advisor. We could see the reps waiting and our vehicle simultaneously. Kudos!, on another impactful aspect of the facility's purposely planned arrangement.
Now, this is where the rubber meets the road. Dustin greeted us. Once again, remember, small details. His appearance was professional, his demeanor was genuine, he listened "intently" making sure he understood the issue of our visit. He was interested in the back store (his words) and used that information in assessing the situation. His calm, layed back personally, brought another level to the of lowering our anxiety level.
As our good fortune would have it, Mike, who we learned was a mechanical technician was in the immediate vicinity. Dustin invited him to be involved in fully understanding the details leading to our visit.
Mike was as equally tuned into our needs. It was actually quite amazing just how situationally aware and focused these two gentlemen were. This was exceptionalism I'd not seen. These men were exhibiting professionalism, empathy, and expertise. This may sound exaggerated to most, but to find dedication like this is a rarity. Their collaborative efforts were "elite". Kudos!!
A details of the tentative resolution were explained and to our surprise, transport home was offered and provided by another mature gentleman, Mr. Wilson. We engaged in pleasant conversation and were grateful for the unexpected accommodation provided by the dealership. Kudos!
Almost as soon as we arrived home, Dustin reached out with the finding of Mike's investigative segment, "and" a multi-point inspection assessment. This extra also paid dividends in preventive maintenance and safety. Kudos!
In less than a few hours, Dustin called to explain the details and share that our repairs were completed.
In conclusion, our experience with Shottenkirk Canton, was like a breath of fresh air. Totally hassle free. The repair was simpler, for a true technician, quicker, and far less expensive than expected. So for these many small but highly important details, we congratulate you and your organization for your collective, professional dedication and operation. Kudos!
