specifically, do any of you folks happen to know who the GM is over at the Subaru/Hyundai store?

I’ll call there shortly and ask, but a lot of times, without knowing a person’s name and specifically asking for that person, you tend to get the runaround by receptionists.

And if this person can’t help, I’ll be doing a bit of a writeup about how my friend got severely jacked around by their service department.

Thanks!

I don’t know who the GM is but I know my friend is one of their assistant service managers (EDIT: at a different store apparently)

EDIT: sent message to him and told him to check this out

Thank you. I’d rather keep this off the forum(s) if at all possible, and have it settled that way it should be.

Yep, got the info.

However…this is kinda funny. Schribers, eh? I do believe that Greg is the brother-in-law of the guy I used to work for back at Premium Auto before he got busted for sales tax fraud.

I don’t know why I’m chuckling right now

lol, not the best places to usually buy cars from either. I use to work for northtown lexus, mazda, kia back in 2003-04

people would take the newly sold cars, or ones that were on the lot that they wanted to take for a joy ride (“take it to the gas station”) and would beat the shit out of them, high rpm’s, peddle to the floor…etc. same with the used cars, they would use them to go to other locations, and again beat the piss out of those.

I honestly myself would not buy a car from there unless it was coming off the truck the day i got it, id rather get a card/check for gas, take all the rapping off myself…etc before letting them touch the car.

not so much with the lexus company but with mazda/kia
