  Last October John Deere notified me of a safety recall on the tractor I had purchased in 2019 from Koenig Equipment in Amelia Ohio. The letter indicated there was a defect in the braking system and stated to IMMEDIATELY STOP USING THE TRACTOR. I First called Koenig in January and was told the service manager wasn't in and that he would call me back on Monday or Tuesday. I never received a call back so I called again in early February and spoke to ******* the service manager. He said he'd call me in a couple weeks to schedule a pickup to get the tractor in for repairs. Once again Koenig never called back so I called again on April 1st, spoke to *******, and scheduled a pickup of the tractor for April 9th. On April 9th, no one from koenig came to pick up the tractor or called me to let me know they were not coming. After not hearing from koenig, I called and spoke to ******* on April 11th and a pickup for April 17th was scheduled. Koenig once again failed to show up or call me and let me know they weren't coming on April 17th. I called again on April 18th, spoke to ****** * and ****** said he would call me back on April 21st. Once again, koenig failed to call back on the agreed upon date. ****** *. Texted me at 5:02 PM on May 7th and said ***** would be by the next day to correct the defect. I asked if there was a timeframe on when he would be here and ****** replied that it would be in the morning but he didn't have a time. On May 8th koenig once again failed to show up or call. On 5/8 I texted ****** at 5:30 to ask if it was going to be another no show but never received a reply, which seems to be koenig's standard operating procedure. It's a shame they are so unwilling to support the products they sell.

  On 10/3/24 we purchased a mower belt ($54.21) for our John Deer tractor from Koenig Equipment. Mowed that weekend with the new belt. The following weekend 10/12/24 we mowed and the belt broke while mowing. So, my husband took the belt back to Koenig Equipment that day and was told that the belt was non-returnable. We mowed one time and a week after the purchase they would not make it right. So he bought another belt for ($48.78) and gave him a discount of ($5.08). We are very unhappy with the results of this experience with them. So, we paid $102.99 for a mower belt, hope this one lasts!! They have lost a customer, we will not go back there, very poor customer service!! I feel that they should have replaced the belt, NO CHARGE. Also, we will share this experience with others.

  On December 4th of 2023 I and a friend drove from Springfield, Ohio to KOENIG Equipment Inc.in UrbanaOhio,about a 20 minute ride.
  I told the employee what was going on with my Tractor,
  #1 It has an oil leak.
  #2 THE deck needs some adjustments and
  #3 Call with an estimate before work is done!
  Well after about a month I called KOENIG Equipment to see if they had any information on my Tractor and they told me it was ready for Pickup!
  They said the Sump Pump Cover was Covered under warranty!So they went ahead and Fixed it.
  So I paid for Pickup and delivery of my tractor and leveling of the deck.
  Then a day later KOENIG Equipment called me back to tell me I owed them for a repair that was the result of someone not doing their job correctly!The person who worked on my tractor "ASSUMED" that the SUMP PUMP COVER was covered under Warranty and went ahead and repaired it before checking!It was Not covered because of its age.
  And it is for this reason I don't feel I should be responsible for this bill!They are charging me for Half the the Cost of the repair $582.36.
  Thank you!

  ********,

  
  

  Thank you for the quick response and a copy of the complaint.  What the customer has described is factual in the sequence of events.  I note that our Turf Service Writer was just a couple months into being hired into the role at Urbana.  Additionally, the John Deere system did have a default date of a warranty expiration of 3/5/24 that the service writer was looking at.  Upon making the repairs and submitting the claim to warranty, our warranty administrator actually determined that the date entered by John Deere was incorrect and that the machine was not actually every registered with the purchaser's name and contact information.  The lawn mower was actually purchased in 2014 from Lowe's and the warranty would have expired in 2016 or at 120 hours, whichever would have come first.  Our Service Writer did contact back the customer and removed $673.39 from the invoice that resulted in the repairs for the oil leak.  The customer agreed to this resolution and a final invoice of $582.36 was paid by the customer. 

  
  

  On February 23, 2024 I was notified from an email that the customer had filed a complaint with the BBB.  I immediately called the customer at the number he provided to us.  I was unable to make contact, but I did leave a voice message.  I did not hear back from the customer and left a second message on 2/27/24.  To date, I have not received a phone call back from Mr. Lowry.

  
  

  Thanks for the time and understanding of the events and how we attempted to remove the expense from the customer and complete two follow-up calls.  Should you have any questions or additional follow up, please let me know.
