DO NOT Buy, Sell, Consign, or Get Service Here
DO NOT buy, sell, consign, or service your RV at Blue Compass in East Montpelier in Vermont. I have never been so blatantly lied to or our property treated so poorly by a "professional" business. Thomas, general sales manager, always seemed surprised, unaware, and unresponsive in getting a resolution. He lacks communication and follow through. I emailed, called, and left many messages for him over a 3-month period regarding the status of our trailer and he never responded. Thomas would give excuses and blame other departments. Robert, service manager, displayed the same unresponsiveness and lack of communication. We drove over 2 hours to stop in to get information on our trailer because there was no return communication. This was beyond frustrating. The lack of customer service, sheer laziness, and disregard for our property is unacceptable. It took 21 days for them to properly list my trailer on their consignment website. I lost almost a month of consignment because they never uploaded the images or posted an accurate description. There was nothing listed that made our camper stand out and we had a lot of extra features that if advertised appropriately would make it desirable to the right buyer. I, as the customer, should not have had to keep calling them and asking them when my trailer will get listed with photos and a proper description that was their job per the contract. If we knew that they would just list a generic stock description and generic stock photo we would have just listed ourselves. When I would call to ask if there was any interest in our trailer that is on their lot, they said there was no way to know. When we picked up our trailer from consignment, there were multiple things broken on the trailer that were not when we dropped it off (pass-thru handle and grey dump tank handle) we were also missing some yellow leveling blocks and a bucket. As for service issues, we were charged for a service that was not completed. When I dropped the trailer off for consignment we brought it to their attention and we were told they were going to "make it right". After being told that it was "made right" we drove 2 hours to pick up our trailer, when I checked the service was still not completed. I notified Thomas who said he thought it was completed this morning. So when I called weeks prior to confirm as well as the day before and asked if the service was complete, I was once again lied to. After 5 hours of waiting for it to be finished being serviced we left because enough of our time was wasted. There was no apology or check in from Thomas during that entire 5 hour time period we were there. He did say they were going to deliver the trailer to us the next day for the inconvenience. When it was delivered, I checked and the service was still not completed. At this point it felt purposeful. They also couldn't bother to take 5 minutes to clean up the mud they tracked in on the floor, the toilet lever, and dirty black handprints on our mattress. This showed me the lack of basic consideration for others property. I had several phone calls with the Regional VP of Blue Compass North East, John, throughout all of this and it was a lot of apologies, thank you for the feedback, someone will contact you, but ultimately no follow through or accountability to make things right. This is not the level of service that a business should be providing. If they did it to us, how many other customers are being lied to and charged for services that are incomplete? I have lost all faith in this establishment after given the opportunity to make it right many times over. This business lacks integrity, experience, respect, and accountability. Save your time, energy, headaches, money, and go to a small business that values you as a customer. One that has integrity and competence unfortunately it is not Blue Compass in East Montpelier Vermont.
