Obviously Dennis left his comment and went away. I was hoping for more information. It has been a couple of weeks since he let us know about his issue with Dale Jarrett Ford. All I can say on this one is, if you have an old car that is not running good, chances are it needs more then a tune up. I prefer for the dealership to look over my car for potential issues so I can be proactive and not break down. Dennis, who we be to blame if you drove off the lot and something happened to your car the next day? Would it be Dale Jarrett Ford since they just serviced your car and “must have done something”? Or would it be your fault for not doing the preventative maintenance?

Dennis, just out of curiosity, what did they charge you for? That seems like a steep bill for a tune up unless they found problems with your car that made it inoperable. Most people do not have an extra grand laying around to play with so I am surprised they didn’t ask you before making any additional repairs. Were they giving your car a good once over for potential issues? Some times if you feel the repairs are unwarranted, a second opinion would help. If they just told you about issues they found during your tuneup, I would say they were just looking out for you. If their repair sheet is filled with a bunch of fillers it may be the other way around. What were they charging you the extra grand for?

ON 3/18/08 I LEFT MY FORD ESCORT AT DALE JARRET DEALERSHIP FOR A TUNE UP. WAS CALLED AND TOLD THE BILL WOULD BE 1100.00 THIS VEHICLE IS OLD. I ONLY WANTED A TUNE UP. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A $82 CHARGE. AFTER REFUSING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT ASK FOR I WAS TOLD NOT TO COME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS PLANNING ON PURCHASING A NEW VEHICLE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. I WILL NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. I WILL TELL OTHERS HOW I WAS TREATED. EVIDENTLY CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP.

Thanks Jeff, will do. I know about the problems with the Shaker 1000 and I think that is why I am waiting. My thoughts are that they are replacing a bunch of them. I would rather wait for one that will work for the lifetime of the car then jump the gun. The guys at Dale Jarrett are the best in the area so I have no doubt that when it comes in, my baby will be in good hands. Stay tuned.

Thew guys at DJF were amazing. They found the squeak in the drop top and got the new Shaker 1000 installed. It was an amazing weekend to cruise around and I was stuck inside with a messed up foot. Oh well…I will be ready for the next sunny day.

Let me know what happens by email if you don’t post. You aren’t the first person with a radio issue.

I had a much better commute this evening. I love driving a Ford and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I disabled some previous comments because they took away from the positive theme of this post. Besides, anything broken can be fixed.
