              Answered
              Seeking removal of an active 11 Oct 2023, **** Credit Loan Account for a vehicle I do not own, nor have possession. Initial notification of past due car loan pymt provided by mail on 1 Dec 2023. Contacted **** Credit, 1 Dec, requesting info on overdue account. Requested that the agent contact Long Lewis **** of the Shoals, as I was not in possession, of an **** **** Edge. The customer service agent stated that **** Credit was awaiting a signed check from Long Lewis Financial (LLF) department, as the initially submitted check, was unsigned. I requested that the call, along with my request for account info, be entered in the agent's log. Attempted to contact LLF Mgr, left numerous voicemails, with no return calls from dealership, requesting resolution, as operator unable to reach Finance staff. Furthermore, requested that Long Lewis ************* contact me, but did not receive a return call.* I continued to contact **** Credit, requesting updates, to which they stated for me to contact Long Lewis ****, as they had no further information. * Submitted an email through the Long Lewis **** website, with no response.On 16 December, at ****, was able to reach a finance member, ****, at LLF in Muscle Shoals. I requested an explanation and closure status for an ********************************************* possession (did not own). **** stated that it was his fault for the open account due to the following events: 1. Unbeknownst to him, the original check was left on the side of the copier, as the person he had requested to provide support had a sudden illness and didn't complete the process. 2. The check was beside the copier for over a week, when he requested the status. BLUF between submitting and receiving the check, it now resided in his desk drawer. I requested that Long Lewis contact **** Credit, and provide remedy ASAP. 3. To date, have not received **** Credit account resolution, nor status, from Long Lewis ****. The Auto Loan remains an active account.

              01/15/2023

              I used *************************** to buy my car in 2020. She was phenomenal. I give her 10/10. She doesnt even sell anymore so I will still keep my review on her. I give the service department a 0/10. My car started throwing codes on November 21st 2022. I called them because it was saying my turbocharger. I brought it &then they gave me a rental. My car was due for an oil change so I asked them to change it while it was there. I get a call on December 1st saying to bring back the rental because theyre voiding my warranty because my oil was never changed. When I went to ******* to have it changed prior to my last oil change. They said I had manufacture oil filter. When it was confirmed by another company that it was not. They were horrible to my husband on the phone. Laughed at him& told him to trade in my car. They tried to force me to trade in my car because of the condition. My car is in perfect shape besides the turbo. Tried to get me to cancel my extra mechanical PAID warranty. I didnt sign anything to cancel anything. So I went to get my car. Before I took my car down there, it was FINE. When I left with it because they refused to fix it under warranty, 5 minutes down the road, it went in limp mode. I couldnt go over 40 mph. They told me before I left the dealership that it would be ok to drive until it was fixed. It took me 2 hours to get home from Muscle Shoals. I live in Waynesboro. They said they changed my oil. I have proof they did not. Because when I got home I had my husband reconnect the collision assist bc it was not connected. We then realized my oil filter wasnt changed and we had my father in law drain the oil to see if they even changed it. My car is now fixed because I went through another dealer who treated me with the upmost respect and it was covered under warranty. I do NOT recommend Long Lewis Shoals for ANYTHING after everything Ive dealt with in the past 2 months.

              While this is never the experience we want anyone to have when visiting our shop, we are required to submit proper documentation to process warranty claims. While your vehicle was in service and the requested oil change was performed, we found the original filter that was installed from the factory. We immediately went to Carfax to look up the maintenance records and were unsuccessful in our attempt. Due to not having any record of maintenance through Carfax or able to provide records from ******* or any other ***************** Long-Lewis was unable to provide the necessary documentation required for warranty to approve coverage of the turbocharger. It was determined that the turbocharger failed due to the lack of maintenance, which voids the warranty. It is our sincere hope you understand that Long-Lewis can neither approve or deny warranty claims.
