Cal-Alta Auto Glass Complaints - Damaged car from vendor

Cal-Alta Auto Glass

Damaged car from vendor
Complaint Rating:  0 % with 1 votes
Company information:
Cal-Alta Auto Glass
Canada

Upon arriving to pick up my car that Cal-Alta was replacing the windshield on I noticed that there was damage to the rear bumper that was not there when I left it with them a few hours earlier. They refused to acknowledge any responsibility for the damage even though they stated that many other vehicles had been damaged in that very "Public Lot" over the years where they park all vehicles after servicing. They neglected to tell me this when they happily accepted my business earlier in the day. It is my opinion that any vehicle left with them is in their care until it is picked up by the owner and therefore they should have either held it in a more secure area or at least advised that they have a no fault policy and they parking lot is not safe. Their only response beyond refusal of responsibility was to tell me they'd see me in court if that was what I wanted to do... not what you would expect from a company that flaunts their "Consumer Choice Award from the Better Business Bureau? It is now my belief that the BBB award was strictly based on the fact that they simply undercut the competitions prices. Not always the best way to decide on a vendor. BEWARE!!!

Hello. I am the General Manager of Cal-Alta Auto Glass. I have left a few messages with this man and he did not return any of my calls. This man is unreasonable. I have worked with Cal-Alta for almost 20 years and in any case where we are at fault or not we always help our customer. In this particular case we are 100% not at fault. I was more than willing to help this man out but his ignoral of my calls and the fact that he decided to defame our good name has made me have a change of heart. He is definatly one of those people that wants something for nothing. Would you sue your local supermarket for someone on hitting your car? I think not. We are not responsible for public parking lots. I thought I had heard it all and now this.

As the victim I am compelled to respond. I am feeling like I am being depicted as some kind of a ungrateful nutbar for not being satisfied with Cal-Alta offering a $50 discount on my window replacement for their damaging or allowing my vehicle to become damaged. This by parking it in a lot they freely admitted after the fact to have been a place where many cars have been damaged over the years. I consider this neglect on their part for parking it there and not at least warning me. The $50 discount does not even come close to what the repair would cost so I do not think this is a case as Cal-Alta's GM suggests that I am the type looking for "something for nothing". I just want the vehicle restored to the condition it was in when I entrusted it to them, no more, no less.
To add insult to injury I just received a voice mail from the GM threatening that if I now do not come in and give them the $50 discount back they will come to my house and repossess the windshield. They responded this way do to my telling them I was going to contact the Better Business Bureau after their refusal to entertain fixing the damage. With this type of business ethic I find it hard to believe Cal-Alta's statement of having a "good name". Simply undercutting the competition hardly warrants a "good name" on it's own.
Don't be fooled by low pricing! Another thing I find interesting and possibly the reason for Cal-Alta's unwillingness to step up to the plate and evan ask for the $50 back is their financial statements which to can find by Googling their name...they appear to be bleeding! Although at the same time president Frank Aiello is pulling in over $300K annually!
Interesting! You may want to also consider in addition to sustaining damage that your vehicle may get locked in when the bank shuts them down an you become a "Creditor"
Oh well I am just an ignorant, ungrateful nutbar that should be more appreciative and respectful of such a great company with their stellar workmanship coupled with amazing customer service!

As a note on this matter the BBB has reviewed and dismissed Mr. McAuley's case and ruled in favour of Cal Alta.
