Car dealers.
Two years ago I got a pre reg new motor deal. All good. But now for only the second time in my life I’m taking a car for a service, the first was last year. So;
Me – Can I bring it in at 09:00hrs.
Dealer – Sure – no problem.
Me – When will I get it back?
Dealer – Oooo, should be ready before 15.00hrs.
Me – What the fuck? Is it getting a full engine strip down and re-build or something? I’d like it back for 10.00 if you don’t mind. Can I have it back at 10.00 please?
Eventually agreed to bring it in at 08:15 and they guaranteed it would be ready by 11:00 at the latest.
Presumably this is just a bit of kidology to make you think they are actually doing lots of stuff to your car for that small fortune of cash you are handing over, when in fact they are just robbing you blind for an oil and filter change.
