1 star = for picking up the phone
1 star = unlocking my car
- 1 star = deleting my information after misunderstanding me on the phone without asking for clarification, being unprofessional and being on the phone before I could pay, making me wait
- 1 star = making me wait 1.5 hours in the cold after giving me a 30 - 40 minute time frame
- 1 star = having my phone number but never following up with me for the status or reason of being late without ME having to call
Detailed Account:
Unfortunately, I didn't have a good experience. I got locked out of my car, and I called the phone number, and the guy who answered deleted my information after he asked me where I was, and I explained my location (I'm cat sitting for some people, so I don't own the residence that I am located at, but I needed just MY CAR to be open, and I started off the entire phone call with "Hi. I locked myself out of my car." So I know I was being clear enough ). Instead of asking for clarification, he said "we don't do that. Won't go in unless you're the primary residence owner, and we need a written note.", and I had to explain to him again all that I needed, and then once he realized, he said "what's your last name again? I deleted it." He also asked for where I was again. It's very interesting that a call operator is so conclusive and quick to delete your information and think you're not being credible.
He said it was a 30 to 40 minute wait. I waited for almost hour and 30 minutes (I timed it on my watch. So whatever time they claim it took them for GPD is wrong because I made sure to document myself). I had to call them again and I got a girl, and I asked for a status update 50 minutes in. She said the guy was working with another job and he was on his way. They have my phone number. It's courtesy to tell someone that you're going to be waiting outside of the time frame that was given. I had work in an hour and said I would be an hour late. Turns out I would be 2 hours late. AND IT was cold.
A guy named Bob finally came and then unlocked the car. I asked how much I should pay him twice before he answered ($55) while not looking at me while on his phone. I just stood there and I could squeeze in "Do you take card" while he nodded while still on the phone, and I had my card out stretched, wondering while he won't take it. I started at my Honda name plate for a bit while he talked to whoever he was talking to, and finally, he gestured for me to give him the card and he read out my credit card information OUT LOUD in a parking lot without warning me. I heard him say "Internet won't connect" to the guy on the phone and "already?". Evidently, he was telling the person on the phone that the card reader was not working, without telling me, the person paying? This was heavily unprofessional and not right!
Either way, BAD BAD experience. I know you guys have given good experiences to others before. But EVERYTHING down to the phone call and ending with the service was wrong for me. Something needs to be changed.
My service was on a Monday in the afternoon.
