Not customer oriented

Bidvest Mccarthy Edenvale Absolute disappointment! What should have been an exhilarating experience for my son when we went to fetch his BMW X3 turned out to be an utter disappointment. We were welcomed on arrival, and then asked to sit and have some coffee. For almost an hour there was no feedback from the staff, then my son went to enquire, and Andy came back to tell us that the lady was still busy. He tried to assist us, but didn't have all the necessary documents and wasn't fami**** with the process. We waited almost 90 minutes before we were ushered into the office of the the person responsible. It took her no more than 15 minutes to complete the paper work. She apologised, and said that she was busy with another customer. This is really disappointing - I understand that sometimes the staff are delayed, but no one came to inform us of the delay, we had to find out what's happening. No senior management came to us to find out why we waiting for 90 minutes. No apology - not even after we collected the car. Really not the service you would expect from a large corporate dealership.

Dear Suliman,  Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. We genuinely regret that you experienced inconvenience; however, it’s important to clarify the full context of the situation. We had a scheduled appointment with you, but unfortunately, you arrived more than half an hour late without informing our team of your expected arrival time. During that time, another customer arrived on schedule for their appointment, and our F&I representative was assisting them.  When you arrived, that customer was still being helped, and due to varying financial requirements, we were unable to provide you with an exact timeframe for when you could be assisted. It would not have been reasonable to make the on-time customer wait while we prioritised a late arrival. Our sales executive approached you to help ease your concerns, but they were unable to assist you with the F&I matters.  Please understand that we value all our customers and strive to provide exceptional service to everyone.  Thank you for your understanding.  Best regards, Bidvest McCarthy Toyota
