Very, very, very poor customer service

I had a fender bender. My vehicle was towed in and booked in at a panel beater by Auto & General via their supplier network. When my vehicle arrived back it had sustained new damage to a side panel. Reported this to Auto & General, was told an assessor will contact be within 24 to 48 hours to address and . After a week no one has contacted me yet.

What I have learnt from this experience is that Auto and General really does not care about customer service.

Not a single follow up to find out how my vehicle repairs are going. Not a single follow up to ask if the repairs was satisfactory. Not a single follow up after I advised by vehicle returned with new damage from the panel beater.

Auto & general does not care if a customer has a vehicle to drive with, all they care about is the monthly payments that they receive.

Good day. Last week when I phoned Auto & General to report the problem, no one had the time or took the effort to contact me within a whole week. Only after I escalated via hellopeter did I get any response. As I explained to your assessor yesterday, I will be in meetings most of the day today and will see if I have time available today. Apparently your assessor is also too busy to fit my problem in on Monday when I have time again. Its Ironic that when Auto & General phones a customer once they expect the customer to drop everything to fit in with their process in a single day, but when a customer phones Auto & General a customer is ignored for a week. This is exactly the attitude and service I have received from Auto & General that clearly shows how they approach customer service. The customer is zero and Auto & General will do me a favor when it suits them. Very very poor service indeed.
