Truck
I spent almost $600 to remove scratches and they assured me they could be removed. The scratches are more noticeable now than when I took it. Very disappointed in the company. I shouldn't went back after they did my lights on my car and they now look the same.

Is this the typical half-done job? Why bother coming to Ziebart, is it really a waste of money?
I bought a brand new 2021 Chevy Savana Explorer Van from Ohio, and at that time our salesman suggested we have Ziebart undercoat it and have the paint protected too, were assured the extra money spent on a Ziebart vehicle warranty would be well worth the cost and it was a nationwide service! My salesman assured me I was getting a great deal and excellent service with Ziebart!
Approximately 2 weeks ago a notification by mail for a warranty check was needed and required, it’s Ziebart requirement for a yearly service inspection! No problem! Called one of the ‘local’ inspection centers in the area to make the appointment, was assured it would be a full inspection, with a complete van wash from top to bottom! I bought the ‘gold’ plan which included the ‘diamond gloss’, with the never need to wax we were told, or so we thought! Left the van over night so they would have plenty of time to do the inspection and the ‘wash’! (When the appointment was made I was informed a number of times by ‘Brittney’ to ‘not’ wash the van, so I didn’t, plus I always wash all my vehicles by hand). Everything was great until it was time for pick-up! It was more filthy than when I left it, very dusty area there. The van had never been washed to which I inquired why and it was then I was told, ‘we don’t wash, we only do a rinse off! Bologna! So how do they know if my diamond gloss is holding up? I returned to the office to ask why and explained I was assured it would be washed! (I was concerned if the ‘diamond coating’ wasn’t inspected I would lose my warranty! We went around over this a few times…. The young Lady assured me she would make it right…. but ‘rinsing’ it again did nothing to improve the vans look, still no wash! After all this back an forth it was understood nothing was going to improve the situation! I spoke with the employee who does the actual work, he also stated, ‘we never wash’! I’m not entirely sure if this is the policy of ‘all’ their sites or just this one! How is the warranty on the ‘diamond coating’ inspected or checked?
Come Monday I called the main office in Michigan… left my information and received a very quick call back! (Kevin out of their Albany, NY office) only was interested in my complaint about the ‘no wash’, not my concern about my warranty with my diamond coat! I agreed to return to the original ziebart site this coming Friday for an afternoon wash, but thinking I’m going to cancel, if the job isn’t done correctly the first time, and they’ve never washed a van, (employees stated they ‘never get these vans’), why should I trust them now?! Very much ‘not’ impressed with this company or their customer service! I’m wondering if this other than the undercoating was a Big waste of money! My Ziebart affiliate was at the South Bay Road in Cicero, NY site! Buy after market options elsewhere!

I'm headed to Cicero this morning. I had a problem with them the first time I called because they didn't want to transfer the guarantee from the original owner who only had the car one year. I called the Syracuse office and they transferred it into my name no problem. She had the Diamond Care so I'm wondering exactly what they will do for the recheck. It includes everything and must have coast a mint. Since I'm not going to get under the car and they have never asked if I want to take a look.

Rampant rocker rot with no response
I had my newly purchased 2010 F150 undercoated and rustproofed at the Shrewsbury facility in November of 2010. I maintained the yearly inspection schedule for the full term of coverage. In July 2020 I presented the vehicle to the Shrewsbury franchise to document the rusting through of both rocker panels. They offered to treat the area with a solution to remove the rust and then provide a sealer. This was unacceptable as the rockers had deteriorated. They were replaced in September of 2020, and the resulting invoice was mailed to the franchise requesting an initiation of the claim process. Here we are one year later and I have yet to hear a word from the franchise. It would appear that their rustproof warranty is worthless and is peddled on the hope that 1)No one keeps their vehicle for the full warranty term and 2) No one would keep up the yearly inspection schedule.

I just learned that I should have been taking my 2010 Focus in for 'annual inspections' all this time. I had no idea! I am very upset. To whom do I go for rectification and what can possibly be done. Wow. Sounds like we are in a similar boat.

Very inconvenient
I had an appointment to get my car the annual undercoating. (this has already been paid for) I live 1 1/2 hr away. When I got there they told me I could no longer wait there for the car as they closed the lounge. I had no other transportation. I am 72 yrs old. I was told I could cross a five lane hiway and go to lunch or go shopping and they would call me to come get the car. I cannot walk like that. I was told I could also make another appt and have someone follow me for the transportation to go someplace else to wait. So that's 2 vehicles traveling 11/2 hrs (one way). Or I could drop it off the nite before and they'd call me the next morning for instructions as to all I wanted done. At that time I would be told what time I could pick it up. So that would be another 1 1/2 hr trip for 2 vehicles. I asked why I wasn't told this when I made the appointment. It was because I didn't tell them at that time I was going to wait and they didn't know what Zeibart I was going to. ( Ft Wayne IN) This is very inconvenient for me. So now I have to get someone to follow me down there. I know all about covid 19 and social distancing. This is poor planning. An apology does not help with the gas prices. I have had former work done here and was satisfied. An unhappy customer.

Garbage product
I had my truck undercoated in 2012 at the Binghamton NY store. Every year went back for the inspections to what I was told to keep the warranty going.

Every year I complained about the undercoating coming off before the end of winter especially the frame. Finally, 2018 they decided my frame needed to be scraped and undercoating reapplied then in 2019 again but this time they charged me to do it as the undercoating was coming off again. Last week I got home with truck looked out window and noticed truck was sitting funny went under truck and frame between cab and box was so rusted the frame broke on both sides. I took my trust into the salesmen at the shop that their product was protecting my truck unfortunately it was an expensive mistake.

So far I'm being told there is no warranty on my undercoating. They have since blocked me from their Facebook page don't answer emails or phone calls pretty rotten way to do business.

User's recommendation: do not trust these people to keep your car protected might look good after application but rusting underneath.

I received a notice from zebart to have my protection service exhamened to maintain my limited warrenty, when I asked the service man said that my vehicle was not warrented and it would cost about fifty dollars a year to maintain it. I was wondering what is warrented for the fifty dollars since I was told it dose not apply to my vehicle.

I just got your letter today regarding this complaint. It is unfortunate that we were not able
to get *** her Charger earlier as I was out of town. Prior to getting this letter I did personally drop off her Charger in her mailbox yesterday. I hope this resolves the issue.
Thank you,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***. Although some of the details in the response are inaccurate (such as contacting me via phone to explain there was a problem with the installation, and the fact that when I left the invoice with you on FRIDAY, August 14, you indicated you would speak to your boss the following Monday and contact me at the cellphone number you have on file for me), I find this resolution would be satisfactory to me. Please have Z-Tech contact me at the number they have on file for me when the check is ready and I will make arrangements to go to the store between 8am and 4pm Mon-Fri to pick it up

I am sorry that you are unhappy with the window tint on your vehicle.  A "perfect: window tint is simply not possible.  No window tint application is 100% flawless.  The dot matrix on the rear windshield was discussed with Mrs. [redacted], who indicated she researched it,...

understood and wanted to leave the tint.    As previously offered, we will be happy to remove the tint and refund the charges for the tint application, but we will not be retinting the vehicle at another location.  There is no reason to and it would be a waste of everyone's time since the outcome would be the same due to the dot matrix.

We installed an aftermarket radio for this customer as well as the correct Metra brand integration module for the steering wheel controls to work with the non factory stereo. She was correct in stating we discovered that when testing with the new radio the volume did automatically turn up. We...

disconnected our harness and plugged factory radio back into the vehicle to verify if the problem was in the aftermarket parts or the vehicle itself (as the radio was off when it came into the shop to start with). The problem still existed with the factory unit. We contacted the customer via the phone number left with us at time of check-in to give the option of either installing the integration module so once the vehicle was fixed she would already have everything she needed, or have it fixed then return for the additional part to be installed. she opted to have it looked at by the dealer as per our recommendation also.  Another employee rang the customer out and then got me to further explain the issue so she would know more clearly the problem and could get it fixed. The dealer contacted us and notified us they found a ground fault connection deeper into the dash than we had been to perform our install and made with a connector not matching any that had been used with our install. I asked if they had taken any pictures of the problem to confirm their findings as well for our records, they did not have any. I asked if the problem was also occuring with the factory radio and he confirmed it was.  The dealer service tech then asked how we would install the new module and how long it typically takes to perform. The customer then returned to our store to purchase the steering control module. She requested we give her the part for free as well as pay for them to install the piece. I explained I had already spoke with the technician there and that was not feasible but I would install the part at no charge here in house. She said no thanks, purchased the part and left. She later returned with the invoice of $495.00 requesting again we pay the entire thing (which by the way start to finish should be 2-2.5hr job and not a $495.00 install). after she had raised a scene at the counter in front of customers I agreed to split the cost even though the people she felt comfortable working on the vehicle had confirmed they could not be sure anything we did was the cause as well as it being a pre-existing condition and had no physical proof of installation errors. So essentially at taking her word only we would split that invoice. I asked her to return the following Monday (as she came in on a Saturday and when our book keeper and VP could take care of the credit). She asked again if it would be the full amount which I again explained nothing pointed towards our install being the issue and was verified by her preferred technician and we would not be paying the full amount especially the install of the new part which they needed our help and instruction to install in the first place since they did not know much about the after market product but that we would split the invoice and I felt that was being more than fair. At that point she left the copies of the invoices here and has not returned. We still would be wiling to split that invoice with her if she comes into the store Mon-Fri 8am - 4pm for the check and sign off on the refund.   Sincerly,   Marc D[redacted] Asst. GM Z-Tech / Audio+ Terre Haute, IN 812-238-2931

Review: I had my 2005 [redacted] rusproofed at Ziebart in Greensburg,PA 07/11/2005. Greensburg franchise went out of business. Since then I have been taking van to Monroeville for annual rust inspections Warranty requires annual inspections plus or minus 60 days of date of application. On two of the years, I had the van inspected in October instead of by 09/11. This year, I had a rust spot develop and when I took it back for the annual inspection, was told that the warranty was not in effect. I was under the understanding that the warranty was still in effect since at no time was I told that the warranty was cancelled and has been inspected each year since purchase.Desired Settlement: Repair of rusted area.

Response:

This is in response to complaint # [redacted] regarding Mr. [redacted] and his 2005 [redacted].

Each Ziebart is owned and operated by an independent businessperson. Each dealer is responsible for all aspects of their business including the warranties they issues the fees charged. The original dealer who processed this vehicle is now closed.

While a copy of Mr. [redacted] specific warranty was not provided, the Ziebart warranties state: Annual Maintenance Inspections are required to maintain the validity of the warranty. Annual Maintenance inspections are due +/- 60 days from the original date of issue. These warranties are backed by an independent insurance company which requires strict adherence to the terms and conditions specified on the warranty. In review of Mr. [redacted]’s customer history, I find three inspections were performed outside the 60 day window, rendering the warranty invalid.

While we sympathize with Mr. [redacted] position, a rust claim cannot be considered. Should you have any further questions feel free to Contact me at ###-###-####.

Sincerely;

Customer Service Administrator

Review: On March 11th 2014 I brought my 2007 Bmw 328i coupe to Ziebart to have the windows tinted. Upon picking it up I noticed two razor cuts in my glass on two different windows that were not there before I brought the vehicle to them. The manager insisted they did not do it and basically just called me a liar. He tried telling me it was done before by someone else, which is completely false. I have pictures of the vehicle before and after to prove they weren't there until after they touched it. The manager told me that they will not take responsibility for the damage they caused to my vehicle. They were completely unprofessional about this whole matter. I now have over $1000 worth of damage to my car. It's sad that some places just don't see the benefit of customer happiness and pride in workmanship. I take great car of my vehicle and it did not have deep cuts in the glass of ANY of the windows.Desired Settlement: I would like the repairs that will be needed on my vehicle to be covered by Ziebart. I would also like a refund for the tint service to be issued.

Review: I recently had my bumper Rhinolined at this business. After 2 1/2 months of being applied to the bumper, the lining started to peel in certain areas. I had scheduled an appointment to have the bumper touched up. On the initial appointment I was told that I needed to come back as they did not have the time to retouch the bumper since it was a color match. I had already taken half of a day to make arrangements for the appointment. I rescheduled the appointment for October 18th 2014 at 730 in the morning. On arrival the salesman behind the desk said looks go take a look at it. We walked outside to examine the bumper and without looking at any detail he stated that it wasn't the liner that was failing and that it was still there. I explained to him that that is not what the salesman from the last appointment stated and that touching it up would not be a problem. The salesman today then stated that I had hit somethng. I explained to him that was not the case. Which in turn he said that's what they all say. I then replied so you are calling me a liar? He then said don't get high and mighty with me you can go F$ yourself. Being sworn at by a service "professional" is completely out of line and such people should not be in the service industry. He said he would fix it, but I could not see giving my business to someone who just told me to F$ myself as the right thing to do.Desired Settlement: Being sworn at by a salesman is out of line and uncalled for.

Response:

We've been in business serving [redacted] customers for over 35 years. I took over this business 18 years ago and since then it has grown by over 500% with only one or two Revdex.com complaints over that time. I consider that a good indicator of how we conduct ourselves here. What [redacted] is not aware of is that we record all interactions with customers and we have a written record and a third Party transcription service that documents all our conversations. What he also failed to notice is that the person he spoke with on both occasions was me. He told me the coating was peeling and I told him he would have to bring it by for us to take a look at it. We never commit to a repair strategy without seeing the issue first hand, and not by relying on an untrained individuals interpretation which in this case he clearly spun for his own benefit. In this case I personally would have to inspect the work before committing to any form of repair. When he did speak with my other sales manager, an appointment was made on a different day so that I could take a look at it. When I inspected his truck it was immediately obvious that this bumper had come in contact with different objects on different areas of the bumper. The service we performed was to spray a urethane rubber coating on the entire outside surface of the bumper and then apply a custom paint matched color coat that matches the paint color of the rest of the vehicle. This is very similar to how most automotive bumpers are made and finished. The damage I saw was that the color top coat had been scraped off and in several areas the rubber coating shows some minor abrasion. This could not happen to our product any more than one would expect a scratch to appear on any vehicle bumper without something coming into contact with it. It is also suspicious that all the damage occurred on the high corners of the bumper yet [redacted] insisted that "nothing had touched it " and he started to escalate the exchange when he started to realize he wasn't going to get what he wanted. Unfortunately I was understaffed that morning and trying to deal with all the customers myself. I failed to diffuse the situation but instead engaged in similar behavior, and for that I apologize. [redacted] then started to refer to warranty terms that he does not have on this product. I am not aware of any automotive paint coating that would warrant against damage. We do warrant our workmanship beyond whatever written warranty we may also offer, but this clearly was not a workmanship issue. I did offer to repair the damage at no cost just to smooth things over but he took issue with my position that it was not a warranty issue. My corporate office also reached out to him with the same offer. The offer still stands, all he has to do is call for an appointment. Best Regards, Mike D[redacted]Ziebart of [redacted].
