Honolulu, HI
My Prius battery died. It had recently been to the dealer for a 40K checkup. Apparently, they don't check batteries. Had they thought that a good thing in a major servicing, I would not have spent 90 minutes in a hot parking lot waiting for road service. So I call the dealer for a new battery and got many apologies and a "maybe we can fit you in today or maybe tomorrow, it's a full schedule." Dissatisfied and not the first time they've blown me off - in fact it's how I found Lex Brodie's, when a light on the dash the dealer said, um, 3 weeks for appointment. Turns out the light was low tire pressure and it went flat before then. I called Lex Brodie's and heard, "Eleven o'clock?" Barely a lunch hour and a new tire. Now, needing a battery sometime before "maybe today" I talked to Barney at Lex Brodie's in town, who got the required information to get the correct battery - it had to be delivered. An hour for installation. Lex Brodie's reputation for top notch customer service is well-deserved. I will only return to the dealer if it's something only they can do. i love my Prius but Servco service falls flat.
