Mr***,
We thank you for the opportunity to service your vehicle and we are glad to hear you were able to resolve the issueWith regard to your refund request, our policy on Diagnostic Charges was clearly explained to and accepted by
you before we examined your vehicleHad you performed the repair work at our dealership, the diagnostic charge would have been waivedGiven you elected to have the repair made elsewhere after receiving our diagnostic opinion we will not be issuing a refund or credit

The issue here is that you guys didn't provide an adequate diagnose on my carThe diagnosis provided was saying that there were no issues with my car other than a bent rimI knew that was wrong so I took it else where to have a new diagnosis done on the same day in were they found the real issues with my carThe tech that worked on my car that day clearly did a poor job and I'm not responsible for thatThats why I am requesting a refundI stopped by Max Madsen *** in *** IL and submitted the two Diagnosis that I have done on the same day and they are clearly differentHard to get issues fix when they were not diagnose in the first placeThats why I had to go else where

***, I am sorry you feel our diagnoses of your issue was inaccurateOur technicians are all ASE certified / Master Elite technicians and VERY capableWe are standing behind our technicians assessment of what caused your issue, the fact that you chose to have your vehicle repaired elsewhere was your decision and doesn't change the agreement you entered into with us when you contracted us to perform a diagnostic of your suspension

Dear Ms***,I am truly sorry we were unable to change your loan terms after your original negotiation and acceptance of those contracted terms. As we explained to you over the telephone and in response to your online review we truly did try to accommodate your request but the lender
(***) who offers the 0% APR loan at the time restricted the term to months on the model you purchased. When we requested to reduce the term, your payment increased to a point that you did not budget for and you did not qualify for the 0% accordingly. We further explained, what you did qualify for was a 2.9% (not 2.8%) over months however, to accept that loan you would have had to forgo $in rebates. With that information, you elected to keep the loan terms as is and we processed your loan.I would be more than happy to discuss this in person with *** if she would like to schedule an appointment.As far as the $charge that is not coming from us. It sounds as if there was a second owner on the plates she transferred which the state is telling her she cannot transfer without a release of interest or her option would be to pay the $for a new set of plates. If she wants to save the $she can by having the second owner sign a release of interest which can be signed here at the dealership. The $she paid was our documentation fee not a plate transfer fee.Again, I am sorry we were not able to accommodate your request.Respectfully,*** *** Managing Partner Tell us why here

Hello ***, I am terribly sorry we have upset you in any way whatsoever, you chose us over many other dealerships and that means everything to us. I am hopeful that my explanation of the situation will bring you some comfort and we can get our relationship back on track. I spoke to
*** and he genuinely feels terribly that he left you feeling as you do. While you did have pre-approval with *** ***, *** felt he could possibly get you better terms (saving you m***y) with another lender or two and submitted your application in the effort. Please trust me when I tell you that he was doing this in your best interest. Unfortunately *** and *** never discussed this and your request we not approach other lenders or we wouldn’t be in this situation. You mention in your complaint that *** action would affect your credit score adversely and that is not true. As long as your inquiries were related to and led to your acquisition of an automobile loan no points would be deducted as that is what your credit score is for, shopping for the best available rate. The credit reporting agencies will not remove these inquiries from your report as we and the lenders we submitted your application to accessed your report but again, this is not harming you at all. Thank you again for your business, we truly value you and will be here for you down the road. We will make every effort to make up for thisRespectfully, *** *** Managing Partner
