A completely fictional story. 😉 (Our lawyer made us say that. Please see the very serious legal section at the bottom.)
A customer — who does not exist — called us about a problem with his order. For nearly the entire call, he cursed at our team member nonstop and would not let him get a single word in. Not to explain. Not to apologize. Not even to say "I hear you, let's fix it."
Now here's the part we'll own: buried inside that call were some real, valid points about how we communicate — updates that should have gone out sooner, expectations that should have been set more clearly. He never stayed quiet long enough to hear our answers, but we heard him. We're tightening up those processes, because "the customer was yelling" is never an excuse to stop improving.
But here's the other part. Every single person on this team — support, sales, warehouse, purchasing — shows up every day genuinely trying to take care of people and their cars. We make mistakes. We fix them. What we cannot fix is a conversation that has no conversation in it.
So disagree with us. Be frustrated. Hold us accountable — that's your right, and honestly, it makes us better. But talk TO us, not AT us. Respect is a two-way street, or it isn't a street at all.
As for this fictional gentleman: we have parted ways, and we won't be able to serve him in the future. His open issue and his return, however, will still be handled properly and in full — because that's who we are, even on the way out.
To the 99.9% of you who treat our team like human beings: thank you. You're the reason we love doing this. ❤️
