I just move along, see the rules and adapt. Ford store my Dad went to for 30 years pissed him off. He had something UNDER WARRANTY and the first thing they asked for is $100 to scan and see what the problem is. Well, he finally learnt that his loyalty to that place was, is and will be misplaced and went somewhere else.
Or to the bar down the road because the bartender has larger hooters.  |
It's just as much
the person that needs to believe in loyalty as
the place.
I like becoming friends with the indies, because then you can stop by just to chat, walk in the garage part of the shop and check stuff out, find out about cars for sale that you wouldn't normally hear about, get good deals or freebies from time-to-time, etc.. Now that I've became friends with my indy, he'll do PPIs on used cars for me at no charge. It *really* pays to be loyal and treat your local businesses with respect.
