Their dedication to customer service is one of the many reasons why this company is thriving in it's growth. Local manager Mike Shteyngarts explained that North Coast Auto Mall is willing to go above and beyond for the customer, "it's not uncommon for an internet customer to fly to Cleveland to pick up their car. We offer to pick them up at the airport to save then the cab fare...we don't want a customer uncomfortable with trusting a cab driver to take them the shortest and quickest route in an unfamiliar city. It's our aggressive pricing that got them wanting to travel here to buy from us. Saving that new customer a little more money and time is an important part of our service.”

In regards to the sales and service process North Coast Auto Mall wants their clients and prospective clients to have a unique experience with their company. Mr. Shteyngarts explained that one of these ways is through there unique follow up with customers after they've purchased a vehicle, "our referral business has been changed. We have our customer service department call the customer after the sale to make sure everything is satisfactory. If there is any complaint we address it immediately. Once the customer is satisfied we call at least twice more to ask for referral business. Every contact is logged so our managers can follow up in real time. We can’t afford unhappy customers.”
CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION FROM NORTH COAST AUTO MALL
During the onsite interview Mr. Shteygarts was asked to describe a situation where a customer was not satisfied with the level of service or product they received. Mr. Shteyngarts explained that the only time North Coast Auto Mall experiences any type complaint is when a issue raises with the vehicle purchased. He went on to give a specific example, "we had a customer buy an Altima. He later took it to the Nissan dealer for some service since the car was still under warranty. The car had passed our service inspection but the dealer reported to him that both rear tires would need to be replaced soon. It was like, 5/32nds thread which isn’t really dangerous. He called us wanting to return the car and claimed that it was unsafe." In order to deal with this complaint, which is not a common complaint for North Coast Auto Mall, "[we] had him return the car for a pair of new tires and replacement of his cracked rear bumper shield." This was all done at the expense of North Coast Auto Mall. These actions led to a "super happy" client.
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Rippoff Report's website Mr. Shteyngarts stated the following, "four or five years ago management had a completely different approach to customer complaints. By law we have to disclose any frame damaged, buy back or salvage vehicles both verbally and in writing. Some of those old reports are still on the internet. That’s why we reached out to Ripoff Report, [and] we ask our current customers to please put a review of our service online."

Any salesperson or other employee that 'forgets' to log a customer complaint on our Google Docs system is fined $500 for a first offense and faces immediate termination for a second offense. We have a 4+ stars rating on Cars.com and have been selling 200+ cars a month so we have to be doing something right.”
