I am writing this review on behalf of my experience with the purchase of a car with Vroom. I went to the dealership on Saturday, August 4, 2018, and was literally the last couple out of the door around 8:45 pm.

I was finalizing the finance paperwork through my lender for the purchase of my 2017 BMW X3. We were unable to complete paperwork, so I was told to come back on Monday to finish and pay any remaining balance. I received a telephone call early Monday morning from Casandra, the saleswoman, asking what time was I coming into the dealership.

I arrived at the dealership at 12 pm to meet with Finance to complete the final paperwork. I was at the dealership for two hours+ and no one told me the car was not ready. It was when I arrived at the delivery desk that I found out the car was in the shop. If the car was not ready, they should have called me just like they called me to find out when I was coming in to complete paperwork. Poor service and communication, and I told the manager Mike and saleswoman that is NOT acceptable. I took the day off from work to pick this car up.

I asked Mike how do I provide feedback on my customer experience and he said that I will receive an email with information to provide customer service. I called the number, and the woman that answered the line was not a friendly person. I did not feel comfortable leaving any comments with a person that is onsite at the dealership and not receptive.

I had other things that I needed to get done and visiting the dealership more than once in one day was not in my plans. I received a call from the saleswoman telling me the car had a problem with brake light and it needed to go to the dealership. That the dealership can send it or I can take it as it. By this time I was stretched over a barrel. The car was supposed to be in make ready sent by Mike on Saturday. I asked on the phone if the car was clean, and it was one excuse after another. They said yes. But it was the opposite. We arrived at the dealership at 6:30 pm and the car was not cleaned. They made more excuses and told me that I can take the car myself to get detailed. So I would have to pay out of pocket, scan and email the receipt, and be reimbursed five days later. NOT acceptable.

Just like they called to follow-up about when I was coming in to bring my money is how they should keep customers in the loop and be upfront and transparent about the status of the car even if it is a delay. When a car changes a status or delays, it should notify people throughout the process no matter where they are in the process all the way to delivery.

For God's sake, I could have taken the car on Saturday if I have to take to the dealer because it's delivered with a problem. I have to clean it myself.

They have to figure out how to maintain quality customer service throughout the process in a high volume sales model. The process started out good and was negated with the customer service going downhill...fast!

I wasted my time, had to take the day off, gas, had to change plans. I am not happy about it at all and at no time did the manager or saleswoman accept responsibility for the service.
