Please find our response to customer complaint ID [redacted] below: Our customer came in on February 18th, with her BMW Xand asked us to install two parts for her that she had already purchasedThe items she asked us to install were a driver's front window regulator/motor assembly and interior door handleGenerally, we do not install parts that are not supplied by usMostly because we cannot take responsibility for the part if it fails since it was not provided by usAs professionals, we know what brands and types of parts work best in certain applications and we will not supply inferior productsThe only warranty that we can provide if a customer supplies his/her own parts is on installation errorIf we made a mistake while installing the part we would warranty our labor and the part the customer originally suppliedWe thoroughly explained this to our customer before installing these partsIn this case we made an exception and installed the parts our customer brought to usWe again explained at that time that we could not warranty the labor or the parts that we were installing since we didn't supply themIn addition to installing her parts, we furnished and installed two connectors that attach the window regulator to the window glassThese parts were genuine BMW parts and did not failUnfortunately the window regulator the customer supplied failed and she returned to us on March 1st, We removed the door panel and determined the clips that are made onto the window regulator (which were made of plastic) broke causing the window to not go upWe informed our customer of what we found and offered to furnish a better quality window regulator and install it with a year nationwide warranty which we offer on all parts that we supplyShe declined to have us furnish the partInstead, she sourced her own part againWe gave her our advice to make sure the clips that are made onto the regulator are metal on this new part because it will perform better and last longerShe did take our advice and supplied us with a window regulator that had metal clips this timeWe installed it and confirmed it was working properlyIn an effort to help our customer with the cost of the second repair we discounted the labor price to install the window regulator this timeShe paid us for the repair and picked the vehicle upThe following week her mother called and asked me to call her backI returned her phone call and discussed what happened to her daughter's car with herI did not laugh at herI told her that the first window regulator her daughter supplied us with had plastic clips made into it and that was what had failedI also informed her that I would not expect a window regulator that had plastic clips made into it to last very longI expressed to her how important customer service and customer satisfaction are and always have been to usBut, since we did not furnish the parts, and the part is what failed, that I could not warranty the second repairI asked if she would mind telling me where her daughter purchased the original part so I could call them and be an advocate for herI hoped that as a professional garage maybe I could convince them to credit her for the labor to replace the failed partShe refused to give that information to me and said it was none of my businessShe continued to demand a refund and demanded that I have my staff return toothbrushes her daughter gave to them several months priorI told her that was a very generous gift for her daughter to give but it was several months ago and those gifts were given to the individuals that were on duty that day, not to the business, so I could not return those to herThey had also been used at this point so I would consider that unsanitaryShe threatened to sue us and to report us to the Revdex.com and tell everyone she knows about what she experienced with usI tried to help diffuse the situation to no availI gave her advice for her daughter to follow in the future to prevent this from happeningMy advice to her was for her daughter to allow the shop she chooses to perform work on her vehicle to furnish the parts they install so they can stand behind the repairs made to her vehicleAt this time she hung up on meI called her daughter and left a message on her voicemail to please return my call so I could speak with her furtherShe has not called me back as of nowOf course, now we received this complaint insteadIn the complaint there are several items that are not correctThe complaint stated the first repair was not performed properlyThat is not trueThe first and second repairs were performed properly but the inferior part quality caused the first window regulator to breakThe complaint stated I laughed at her momThat is not trueI take these matters very seriously and did not laugh at herFurthermore, the complaint stated her door handle makes a creaking sound nowThe first I have heard about the door handle making a creaking sound is in the complaintAs always, we would be happy to check the door handle out to determine the cause of the creaking at no charge to herIf the part is the problem (which I strongly suspect) we cannot warranty the replacement of it because we did not supply it eitherI am very sorry this situation took placeAgain though, we cannot offer a refund because we completed the repairs properly and did not supply the failed partsI sincerely wish our customer well and hope she has better luck with her vehicle in the futureIf she will heed my advice, and allow the repair shop that she has work on her vehicle supply the parts they install, then I am sure she will have a much better outcome from here forwardPlease let me know if you have any questions or need any more information.Sincerely, [redacted] SnareBlue Ridge Truck &
