Not all main dealers are the same and there are some very good ones out there, you could always try here http://www.automotivetechnician.org....sts/index.html |
I said 'don't trust' & 'crooks' about main dealers from my own & my customers personal experiences over the last 40yrs !
Some may find it offensive............until they too get ripped off by a main dealer.
I even had a situation over a Ford Focus CDTi very recently with a very large main dealer.
I won't go into detail but they knew that I am in the motor trade & they even tried to baffle me with technical rubbish.
Needless to say, I then proceeded to give the workshop foreman & their 'top' technician a lesson in engine management systems & the result, my customers bill was half the original amount they wanted to charge him by fitting parts that weren't required !!!
I think 'don't trust' & 'crooks' is a fair description in this instance don't you ?
If not, what would you call it ?
Another thing, they are definately not worth the hourly rate they charge that's for sure.
