    ON 10/9/2023 I had my 2013 Nissan Frontier truck towed by this company to my dealership, Hamilton Nissan in my city for some engine work. The driver took photographs of all angles of my vehicle then loaded it onto the tow truck and began securing the tires with a large strap. On the front drivers tire, the strap dropped and a loud hissing sound could be heard. I asked the driver, Kimberly, what that sound was and she stated she just knocked my valve cap loose and did I have any tape as she couldn't get is screwed on. In actuality what she did was rip my tire sensor completly OUT of the valve stem. I gave her some tape and she taped the sensor into the stem and advised she would let the dealership know when she dropped the truck off. When my service provider at the dealership called me an hour later, he asked what happened and I let him know. He advised the cost and I called Eichelberger and spoke to a person named JD so said he was the operations manager and he wouldn't be paying for the damage as my dealership was taking advantage of my naivete. I conferenced the dealership in and JD accused them of price gouging and of taking advantage of their clients. He stated he would not be paying for anything more than the cap of the valve. I have photographs of the tire sensor stuck inside the now defunct cap attached.

    I am rejecting this response because: they never told me to file with my insurance company. Their "operations manager" berated both myself & my dealership representative. An apology would have sufficed however I believe now after being called a liar, I will seek legal recourse.



    Sincerely,
