GM Jarrett Marks + Service Manager Mike Templeton Discrimination Against Covered Muslim Woman at GMC Fresno
I leased my Hummer EV from GMC Fresno 2 years ago. I brought my truck in for the 2nd time for a squeaky wheel. Service said the tires were too worn to drive safely and that they would order 3 new tires, but refused a loaner in the meantime. I have to leave for LA in 2 days and this is my only vehicle. Service Manager Mike Templeton was condescending and said: “You’re bringing the car two days before a trip and you expect me to give you a loaner??” I told him I felt his treatment was racist. He did not deny it and told me not to come back to him. I requested to speak to the GM. GM Jarrett Marks came out and was sarcastic and even more rude than Mike. When I complained about Mike, Jarrett Marks supported him and said “Mike didn’t do anything wrong.” As a covered Muslim woman, I felt targeted, humiliated, and dismissed by both managers. I had to drive home with the unresolved squeaky noise while waiting for the new tires to arrive. This is unacceptable for a $100k+ customer. I am filing complaints with GM Corporate, BBB, and the California Civil Rights Department. GMC Fresno is now refusing to service my vehicle because of my review. This is retaliation. I am adding this to my discrimination complaint against GM Jarrett Marks and SM Mike Templeton.
