Letters of Appreciation


September 2009

Dear Import Auto Team,

I wanted to thank you again for working us in that day to fix my 4Runner . . . given the heat that day and the fact that we were from out of town with the dogs, you guys turned a stressful situation into a good one.  Thank you for your professionalism and your speed and care in getting us back on the road safely.

Sincerely,

Daren Ferguson and Kim Porter

Dear Mr.Andrews:
 
Thank you for the excellent service I received from a recent tripto your shop. Your
front counter staff was great and very good at Problem-Solving.
 
Michael was especially helpful as I juggled multiple cars and getting to my
destinations. Having a shuttle service is great convenience and Michael went above & beyond to be accommodating.
 
Thank you for the incredible customer service and having such a well-trained, customer
oriented staff. I will be bringing more clients' cars there and thank you again
 
Sincerely,
 
Robin

Nelson -- 

I appologize for the slow reply and, appreciate the honest response to my inquiry.

After getting several opinions on what was making the noise up front I finally was able to settle on the strut mounts as the culprit. I had them installed and it took care of the problem. Once again, I greatly appreciate your honesty and the quality of work that was done on the Saab. Thanks to everyone involved. I would have the repairs done at your facility if it wasn't such a drive. LOL.

Thanks again

Barry

Hi Nelson -- 

First of all, thank you so much for taking care of my car - and helping me meet all my social obligations - last week. I don't think anyone can honestly say they look forward to a major unexpected repair, but you, Lori and your team made it as painless as possible. And I'm 1,400 points closer to Hawaii :)

I hope I don't see you again for awhile but if another light comes on, I'll be back to accumulate more Hawaii points.

Thanks!

Just want to thank everybody for fixing my van. I made it back to Gatlinburg with no problem. The air conditioner is working better than before.

Thanks again,

Dear Mr. Trabue,

I am writing to tell you about the wonderful experience I had with your Service Department and particularly Lori Garrett. Recently I purchased a Mercedes Benz from a private owner and that vehicle was serviced by your facility. During the transition, I had several conversations with Lori and I wanted to let you know that she displayed extraordinary customer service and her professionalism and customer service skills should be commended.

I was communicating with Lori from Maryland and she immediately took ownership of my situation, put me at ease and guaranteed me that the vehicle would be safe to drive back to Maryland and then advised me that she would have your service technician fully inspect the Mercedes. It should also be noted that Lori has a pleasant personality and a terrific attitude and is extremely knowledgeable. This is the type of service that customers value.

Based on the above, Lori appears to be a "perfect" fit for that department and if I were the owner of this company, I would feel very confident in her ability to manage the day to day operation in my absence.

Sincerely,

Ray Brooks

Dear Sir:

I want to thank you and Import Auto for the service provided to my mother, Mrs. Andrew (Jody) Ewing. After the encounter with the Tree, it will be a welcome assurance to all of use knowing that Mother's car is safe to drive and in such fine condition.

I am aware that you provided a substantial discount for the service, apparently providing (in addition to the damage inspection) a complete service inspection of fluids, hoses, brakes, and the like, as well as aligning the wheels and balancing the tires at no charge. This was far beyond any ordinary courtesy, and we very much appreciate it.

Very truly yours,

William Elliston

Dear Nelson,

First of all, thank you for allowing me 30 days to pay my bill. It was greatly appreciated.
Secondly, I just want you to know that your customer service far exceeds anyone in this business. Being new to the Nashville area, I was quite concerned with finding someone with integrity that truly cared about the safety and maintenance of my car. You have taken care of that concern! I extend to you, your staff and especially your mechanics a heart felt "Thank-You" for a job well done!
All of you are truly amazing!!

To the Editor:

I have some good news to share about one of our local businesses.  Import Auto Maintenance located at the convergence of West End and Broadway avenues in downtown Nashville has done a good deed for our family.

Recently we took our much loved Toyota in for an oil change.  This is a car that IAM has taken care of since we bought it new in 1991.  In all these years there has never been a problem.  However, on this occasion, after about 100 miles, the oil drain plug fell out, all the oil was lost, and the engine was ruined. 

Nelson and Liz Trabue, IAM's owners, didn't hesitate.  They immediately took full responsibility and replaced the engine at no cost to us.

This kind of decency and honesty is the sort of thing that makes Nashville a good place to live.

Respectfully,

Steven A. McFadyen-Ketchum

Dear Sir,

This letter is to express my appreciation to you and your staff for their professionalism and care for the customer.  Mr. Michael Norman, in particular, was very helpful in helping me change my auto tag.  His professional skill and interest in offering the best care to his customers I found commendable.
