Revdex.com: I have reviewed the offer and/or response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below CarMax's "offer" to resolve this is riddled with lies and inconsistenciesCarMax called me on February 15, 2016, at 10:50amThe call lasted minutes at which time I was made no offer for a diagnosis of the problemIn fact, the woman I spoke with indicated that while she was going to bring my request for them to pay for a diagnosis to the "senior team" she did not believe they'd offer to cover these costsI was then contacted again on February 16, at 10:05am, with a call that lasted for seconds wherein it was confirmed, that the "senior team" would not offer to cover costs of the diagnosis of the problem, but would do the labor to diagnose the problem "cheaper than the dealer." Evidence of these calls is attached hereinI rejected this response as I do not believe I should be paying for the costs of diagnosis Should CarMax decide to be truthful and practice acceptable customer service practices, I'd be happy to have a diagnosis of the problem performed by the Volkswagen DealerThe costs may be paid directly to the dealer by CarMaxGiven their apparent willingness to be untruthful, even to the Revdex.com, I do not believe it would be in my best interests to trust their diagnostic teamThis company is obviously willing to go to great lengths, including lying to third parties now, to not have to be liable for their misdeeds Regards, [redacted] ***
