Review content:
I bought my car from Kuni Lexus of Littleton (now Greenwood Village) in March 2013. It was a Certified Pre-Owned 2011 RX450h. I should have gone elsewhere just as soon as I received the insulting and condescending email from their sales manager, George Dunn. However, I was driving a rental after totaling my previous car and had a limit to that coverage, increasing the perceived pressure to buy a car soon. Shawn Evans, their General Sales Manager and generally nice guy, worked quite hard in an attempt to reverse the damage done by Mr. Dunn in not one, but several, emails. His efforts might have actually been enough to reverse this damage had it not been for his staff's lack of attention to detail during the CPO inspection. Issues not taken care of, discovered and ignored, or not checked during this inspection regarded appearance, daily use items such as a second key fob for the second driver, manual, tonneau cover, and cargo net, as well as mechanical issues only discovered after I purchased my car and during my first six months of ownership. The most recent now-to-be-expected customer service disappointment occurred during the last part of September 2013. The salesperson assigned to follow up with me emailed to check how everything was going with the Lexus during the first 6 months of ownership. I had just returned home from another Lexus dealership (with my loaner because numerous parts needed replacement). I responded to the email, outlining the issues with the car and Kuni's lack of attention to detail. I sent the response to the salesperson, the General Sales Manager, and the President, all of whom had been involved in the beginning when their sales manager was disrespectful. I sent that email on September 24th, 2013. At the time of this writing, Monday, November 4th, at 8:12pm, I have not received any response. Now whether or not they ignored it because I was the barnacle that wouldn't go away, it is good customer service to respond to complaints just as you would respond to compliments as it is complaints from which we learn. However, what it demonstrates is their cavalier attitude toward upholding a standard, the Lexus standard, even when no one is looking. The ironic thing is their lack of response is another testament to their lack of attention to detail. While I am quite certain this doesn't apply to everyone who works there, it seems the evidence is accumulating toward the conclusion that you won't experience consistently good customer service and maybe not even purchase a car that has been adequately evaluated for problems.
