    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I had started a claim with SGI back on June 1st and have yet to reach a resolution. I had a vehicle that was damaged by taking on water during the rainstorm at the start of June. I managed to get my car to *** on June 2nd where the dealership did an inspection and told me the cost to address what they found. I then contacted SGI as it was an estimate for a substantial amount. My claim was opened, and my car was towed to SGI for "inspection". My car was not reviewed until June 12th. My car sat for 10 days that had a mechanical issue due to water. The SGI Inspection consisted of removing the air filter which sat in a bay for 10 days and that was the extent of the inspection. I asked my SGI contact, why no oil was drained or some internal inspection performed. They advised me that they are not Mechanics. If you didn’t have a qualified person perform the inspection, how are you rendering an informed decision on an internal mechanical issue of my vehicle? They then asked me to select a service mechanic to inspect my vehicle. Which was where I took it at the very onset of the issue who had already analyzed the problem and explained it to SGI. SGI asked *** to take photos, draw oil, and send them over as evidence. Why was this not done by their inspectors when it arrived? This process started 45 days ago. What has been going on since? My car has been sitting outside and festering in the heat. As I mentioned I moved, so I had to stop and collect a few items from my car and when I opened the door it smelled musty. So that tells me dirty water entered the car and dampened the carpet on the floor. SGI is pushing back against *** and their analysis which was given to them immediately. SGI asked for the vehicle to be inspected by an outside service department, but they are not heeding their advice. SGI has received the oil and photos and have still not responded a week later. It has now been 45 days on something that has a simple solution. Heed the advice of the subject experts.

    I went into SGI today the *** office in North Battleford. I was trying to put a permit on my motorhome and the lady I dealt with first was very kind and courteous. It took a few hours to figure out a resolution but everything worked out in the end. I had left and waited for SGI to call me and then returned when the resolution have been completed. This is where the problem began. The second lady I spoke with upon my return was very uncourteous, very rude to me and tried to charge me $200 in GST to put a day permit on my $1,000 motorhome. When she told me that I looked up my mother who was with me and I swore in speaking with my mom. From this point on the lady s demeanor deteriorated further, yelling at me and telling me not to swear and that she's not helping me anymore. I immediately said sorry and told her that I was speaking with my mother. At that point she turned off her computer and said she wasn't helping me. The first lady was listening and she came and helped me without any further problems. The lady I have issues with her name is kiyara C*******. When I said that I would be filing a complaint she stood up and laughed at me and told me it didn't matter because she only has a few days left working at SGI anyway. That's my opinion that she shouldn't be working there at this point and any reference that SGI gives her should be a bad one. I'll be going out of my way to let this be known to our public. It took me an extra 45 minutes for the other lady to fill out online paperwork again and then I left without having to overpay. The lady who helped me, her name was Charlotte m*******. Charlotte deserves a raise because she is the only asset to the SGI North Battleford that you have. ****** ******** ** ** *** ** ** ************ *** *** ****** ***** ** **** *** ** **** *** ******** ***** ******** *******
