My car has been in your shop for three weeks for a minor rear bumper repair, which is an unreasonable delay. My insurance has responded promptly to all requests, and all delays have been due to the incompetence of your team. Additionally, I have experienced a complete lack of communication. I only discovered—after multiple frustrating calls—that my phone number was entered incorrectly in your system. Your staff never attempted to contact me via email or phone call to provide updates. Now, after this excessive delay, I am being charged an unauthorized extra fee on top of my $1,000 deductible, which I never approved. This is unacceptable. I expect immediate clarification regarding these additional charges and a firm timeline for when my car will be ready. Please address this matter urgently.
