The worse thing is they did not return your voicemail call or did they give you that option?

On my first call the parts desk did not answer. The operator picked up, took my information and said she would take it to the parts people. 3 hours later I called again and got switched to 2 or 3 different automated recordings. I gave up and ordered from Amazon. Much later after I made these postings a parts person called. Terrible business practices.

I have had this experience NUMEROUS times at the Council Bluffs, IA CW as well. Not very customer friendly!

I hate to hear that, but that seems to be the norm these days. Not very good business practice in my book.

They did not respond to voicemail A parts person finally called long after I made this post and one on Facebook, but it was too late. I ordered what I needed from Amazon.

Hello janstey58,

Thank you for your time and making us aware of your experience at the Council Bluffs location. We will look into this matter further.

I have tried to stay away from CW stores since they changed from having Work Kampers on the floor, Oregon has two stores I like Hillsborough and Wilsonville. Wilsonville is a GREAT store, at least it has been for us for at least 20 years. Two years ago we had tried to find a shop where we could have the oil changed, drove from Cal/Or boarder up 101 to Cape Disappointment, leaving CD, I had DW call Wilsonville, got us in the next morning, spent the night in the parking lot to be there at opening. One rig in front of us and one on the other rack from previous day. DW got us McDonalds and while she was gone, one of the gals in the office was making a donut run and ask if we would like something from the donut shop.

Valencia CA store was great but back 20 years ago they had work kampers on the floor, they knew what we were talking about and went to parts and told the staff what it was in their auto parts vernacular. Then suddenly, there were all these guys in insurance, car salesman, shiny flashy suits and then the dealership opened and nobody on the floor. Went in one evening during the remodel and the staff in the store were joking with a customer they knew(all six of them). Between the graba## and ignoring us, we went home without the $400 or $500 worth of accessories we went to buy.

All the other stores we have tried to deal with were like those mentioned earlier in this post.

Sure glad there is a fairly decent parts store within a reasonable distance and that the internet is available too.

The worse thing is they did not return your voicemail call or did they give you that option?

I have had this experience NUMEROUS times at the Council Bluffs, IA CW as well. Not very customer friendly!

Hello Sooner Schooner,

Thank you for your time and email, I apologize you were unable to get through to anyone at the Spokane Camping World location. Please allow us to look into this matter further. When did this incident occur?

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This occurred today Aug 21, 2019. Thank you for the prompt reply, but in today's world and technology, not answering business phones is something I can't understand. This is not the first time I have encountered this and I have been a customer a long time. I try to get my money's worth with my Camping World Membership, but it's not working out.
