"Recently my car engine light came on and I took it to my local mechanic to have it looked at. Two days later they still hadn't called me and I learned that they hadn't even touched it. Every time I wanted an update, I had to call the shop. A week later it still wasn't fixed and had it towed to the local dealership. If I was the service manager, I would have made sure I had open communication with the customer. I would have provided an explanation and let the customer know when I would be in contact. I'd make sure I had it on my calendar to follow up."
