Keith goes on a rant..

Fritz is one of the dogs that came for daycare today and is a Boston Terrier. He loves to run and play and spent most of the day playing with Cosi, the French Bulldog Puppy. Today we finished the hallway flooring in the area off the lobby. It looks great and we are going to add some more of the bigger suites here.
So let me go on a rant about customer service for a minute. My car needed service work on it and I dropped it off last night at the dealer, so they could look at it first thing in the morning (the appointment was at 7:15). They said that they would call me with an estimate. Noon came, and I never heard anything, so I called them. They had not gotten to the car yet and said they would call me within an Hour. Then 3pm came and they had not called and I called and spoke with the service manager and told him how upset I was. I don't really think he cared that much until I said I was on my way to pick up the car to take someplace else. Then he really started to kiss my rear (my guess is because he saw he was going to lose a sale for the day). I get that everyone makes mistakes and things, but there is NO EXCUSE for poor service. I will never go to this dealer again (and it is almost time for a new car). I love good service and love to give good service, which is what we have all of our staff do. If there is anything that happens and you feel you did not receive GREAT SERVICE from us, please, please let me know. You can alway call our main number 952-922-8183 and press 4 and you will be connected directly to my cell phone. Or email me!
Oh, Back to my radio roots for a minute... I wanna give a shout out to Wild Reed, Hanna's mom! She reads the blog all the time and always leaves a comment, and she has a really cool dog!! :)
Have a great night everyone.
Keith

Hi Keith,
Just read your blog about customer service. I’ve been in customer service, and account management for almost 10 years. Let it be known that the customer service our family has received from the team at Pampered Pooch Playground is among the best!
Thank you for the dedication to outstanding customer service, and for taking such good care of our boys.

Well, I was going to comment even before I saw the shout out at the end - that was so cool, thanks! I love your blog ... all the dog stories are cool! :) I missed taking Hannah in on Friday. We'll have to find some time soon for her to stop in and say hi. Sometime I'm going to make it to an event so I can bring her in and we can hang out together!
The customer service rant ... I feel like I could go on forever too. (especially about car dealerships - was it by any chance a certain VW dealership on Hwy 100? ;) ). But I agree with Niki - you guys are over the top fabulous with customer service. My friend just adopted a puppy (8 weeks old!) and I have already told her how wonderful you are and about all the services you offer.
