Glenside Auto Spa was highly recommended on Angie's List, so we thought we'd check them out and get a quote.
Called the office and spoke to Mark, who was extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Happy to also report that their price for the unit and installation was the lowest...by far!
We pre-purchased the remote starter on 11/22, as we were going to give it as a Christmas gift, but Brian at the front desk (who was also very professional) suggested that we get the install done sooner, if possible, to avoid the after-Christmas rush.
Based upon Brian's his suggestion, we scheduled the install for 9:00AM on Saturday morning 11/29. We arrived on-time and were told that it would be between 2 hours and 2.5 hours to complete the install. We dropped off the car and went shopping. Approximately 90 minutes later we received the call letting us know that the install was already completed!
We went to pick up the car - and a tech walked my daughter to her car and gave her a quick demo of how to operate the remote start - worked perfectly. All good.
Unfortunately - a few days later, my daughter went to get gas and discovered that the door release for the gas tank wasn't functioning and she could not get the door open and she was running on fumes. Someone suggested that the issue may have come about during the install. She luckily made it to her office and then called Glenside Auto Spa to report the issue.
This is where these guys really impressed me. They took full responsibility for the issue - apologized for the mistake - and then sent a tech to her office in Newtown, PA to fix the issue! None of the usual "bring it back to us and we'll fix it" stuff that you would expect. According to my daughter, it took less than 5 minutes to hook the wire back up and the gas tank door operated without issue after that. She said they could have probably instructed her over the phone how to reconnect the wire - but they sent the tech out anyway. Great Customer Service and a perfect example of a company standing behind their work!
Other than the very minor hiccup - these guys were top-notch and we will definitely use and/or recommend Glenside Auto Spa in the future.
"We thank you and your daughter for being very understanding about that hiccup. We hope that she is enjoying the remote starter and we appreciate your business!"
"We appreciate your business Gregg! And thank you for the pretzels :)!"
After I drove out of garage, I noticed that a reminder sticker for oil change was missing from windshield. Now I don't know when I am due for next oil change. Another sticker that I no longer use was left.
"We are sorry if you had an unpleasant experience with tipping our staff. We like to bring out our guys for our customers to tip them directly, as well as for our customers to meet them as well. We are not sure who gave the "sour face," but we have talks with our staff regularly about our customer service. We will continue to work on doing our jobs with a smile, with a tip or without, as they are not a mandatory part of any of our service. Thanks for the feedback"
The service was mediocre, and complaining about the state of my car was unprofessional. I felt guilty for asking them to detail my Jeep! I would not recommend them for detailing.
"We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the quote and scheduling. Although we have a base price for our interior detailing, excessive pet hair is something that we need to evaluate before giving a final quote as it will affect the price and the amount of time it takes to complete. Regarding any other dissatisfaction with the service, we would be glad to have you bring the car back for us to address it."
