OT: Vent: Car Repair Charge

Another sufferer of Walmart Derangement Syndrome(WDS) Sorts like the Bush Derangement Syndrome(BDS) in which everything is blamed on it or him...LOL...You should see somebody for that...It will eat you up inside...

I have pretty good luck at the Hyundia Dealership I take my wifes car to..They have been great....9.99 oil change and a gift card for a free car wash just across the street...Both the sale of the car and service including a free alignment cuz the tires were wearing..Not the car , it's the damn cowpaths we drive on here in the 3rd world hellhole known as The Peoples Republic of Maine...Finding an HONEST independent can be just as hard...Luckily I have a friend who has a shop that takes care of my 95 Chevy Silverado work truck....

They are the only ones and know that they can rip off the customer with impunity as their customers are afraid to go anywhere else.

I guess you've never patronized a licensed plumber or electrician or a doctor or a hospital, etc.........

That's a load of bull. There are enough DEALERS around in most places that the bad ones get a bad name and everyone knows where the good ones are. If that fails, the good independents are busy and you can shoot a cannon through the bad dealer service departments and be in no danger of hitting anything.

Quite a few dealers NEVER see a car after it's off warranty (the bad ones). Some keep seing the vehicles for years after (the good ones)

Doctors - no guarantee, and they bury their mistakes.
