TL;DR

  • The author encountered Sophie, an AI employee at XYZ Mechanics, who had warm and intelligent communication.
  • Sophie initially provided accurate information regarding car pick-up time.
  • The following day, Sophie gave contradictory information about the car's readiness, stating it would be ready on Wednesday instead of the previously stated day.
  • The author discovered the mechanics' yard was locked, despite Sophie's initial confirmation of pick-up.
  • A human employee, Mike, confirmed Sophie's unreliability and advised the author to ask Sophie to transfer him directly.
  • The author successfully collected the car after bypassing Sophie and speaking with Mike.
