I took my SRX in for it's first service and was not happy with the results. My car smelled like cigarettes and one item wasn't fixed. They had to order a part, which is fine if they had told me. Instead they told me "your car is ready" and I assumed (yes, I know what happens) that everything had been handled. I reflected my dissatisfaction on the follow-up survey from Cadillac and also called the service director to give them a heads up that a bad survey was coming.
When I took my car back this week for additional warranty items, my sales person stopped me and told me that he heard about my survey and if I wanted them to continue to be flexible with loaners and appointments I would need to "not make the service guys mad". I haven't asked for anything that wasn't presented as part of their service when I bought my car 6 months ago. The work has all been warranty work so I didn't realize they were being extra flexible.
The service advisor also took me to task for my survey and told me that people lose their jobs over bad surveys. When I mentioned the specific issue I had with my previous visit he told me those items weren't under his control. If he's getting rated on a survey of items he doesn't control, then it's a poorly designed survey. The focus appears to be not how can they correct the problems, but getting me to write a better survey.
