Dealer service department won't call back
Hello,
I own a 2001 S-Type with 91,000 miles on it and live in the NYC metro area. I've been going a local Jaguar dealer for over 3 years for service. My most recent service was in March for an oil change, fuel injection cleaning, and new tires. My A/C is not working so I've tried to schedule service online twice and called 2 days ago. When I called, I left a voice message on my service advisor's voicemail. For some reason, he will not call me back. Has anyone ever experience this? I have never complained about the cost of service and alway pay on time.
Thanks! Beetleman

Sure, I've experienced it. No call back is very bad in any customer-service industry. Or any industry, really.
Poor training? Understaffed? Shop already has too much work? Who knows. But not calling back is always bad no matter how you slice it

Likely the reason is that the car is so old that nobody there wants to work on it. When I worked at the dealer, the service writer would ask me and the other older/experienced mechanic if we wanted to work on a 15 or 20 year old car (XJ6 or XJ-S) before scheduling it in.
Depending on what was wrong we sometimes told the customer that there were 2 or 3 other shops in the area that worked on the older Jags and they would be a more cost effective solution.
The younger mechanics in the shop would have been useless because they had no training or experience with the old cars.
Just a guess??

Have you tried calling the main line? Someone there will pick up and help you out. It’s holiday season, maybe the advisor is away and forgot to forward his voice mail. If you’ve always had good service there, I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Call the main line, that should get you the info as to what is going on.

Can't help with why the dealer won't return your call, but I can help with your A/C.
Read through the following guide and follow the appropriate steps:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ol-how-185002/
You can do almost all of the troubleshooting in that guide with just some inexpensive thermometers. Even if you don't make the repairs yourself, you can isolate the root cause of the fault so you'll know what actually needs repair.
