Paid $4204.00 for nearly 2 years undercover parking.Found my vehicle parked outside covered in grime,scratches and chips to paintwork.One battery clamp had melted and that battery was fried..If an incident happens and the staff member does not report it.Magic,it never happened and the review of the CCTV always shows it never happened.No responsibility,accountability or liability. No good.When a staff member eventually got back to me after I complained,I was told that on the day that I collected my vehicle,their till was short $1000 and as I was the highest cash payment of the day,the $1000 shortfall was because I had under paid. Staff member was told to choose his next words wisely and I angrily asked him if he was accusing me of being dishonest and he said he wasnt, it was just that the staff member I handed the money to must have miscounted,to which I replied that I would certainly know if I handed over $4000 or $3000 and if he would have me believe that their staff can not count to 4. No staff member had reported the melted battery clamp or the fact that the negative leads from both batteries had been disconnected
meaning that they were not at fault.Both my batteries were less than 3 years old and when tested the same day,one was fine and the battery with the melted clamp was completely useless,which cost me another $170 for a new battery.The fact that it would have been impossible for me to deliver my vehicle into their dubious care carried no weight at all. I further asked this staff member if it was normal practice to mistreat other customers vehicles while attempting to start mine i..e. trying to jump start mine using a 4 cyl RAV4 ,a landrover(both of which I said would not be enough,) and then a customers near new Sahara or VX Landcruiser with the twin turbo diesel V8, and bhy mistreat I mean revving these vehicle to their limit continuously after a cold start (6 to 7am).I told the staff member that I thought it pertinent to record the rego numbers of these vehicles and hev then challenged me and asked me for them.I asked him why and he said so he could identify the staff involved.As he,the supervisor was there at the time, I described the staff member as "the young fella that cant speak English very well", and I was then chastised as I am not allowed to say such a thing. This was a supervisor, apparently well trained according to the company blurb listened to whilst on hold. That was as much as I could take,after all,everything was my fault,according to them. To clarify,I was aware the day before that my final payment was $3960 and As I had rang them in May 2014 and told I could not pay over the phone, I thought it best to have cash.I did receive my $40 in change after I handed over the $4000 and I am still very angry over the accusation. Never will I park there again and if other people have no choice,I suggest getting a Supreme Court Justice or two to thoroughly inspect and record on video,the condition of their vehicle,just before they hand over the keys.If a staff member does not report an incident, magic, it never happened.The customer is never right.
Approximate cost:
$5000
Super, thank you for that!
