10/14 I'm having bad experiences with this dealer that has been
servicing my car lately (poor labor quality, lousy parts, etc)
What are some ways I can get the word out that this isn't a good
dealer to bring one's car to?
\_ Why do you care? The market will figure it out. File with the
BBB if you really care.
\_ Because they're very incompetent, and when it comes to
big dealers like that, the market does NOT figure it out.
People see the big name and are drawn to it. And I've
already filed with the BBB.
\_ So write the automaker, tell them this dealer is a
threat to their good brand name.
\_ The market does not figure it out. BMW San Francisco sells
shitloads of cars, but I know people that work in their
maintainence department. Bad shit going on there, especially
involving falsification of repair records. Apparently it has
been going on for years, and no consequences have ever come of
it.
\_ What make of car?
\_ Can you tell us the dealer name? If I have the same make, I'll
know not to take my car there...
\_ the Long Beach Jeep dealer.
\_ Consumer Reports?
\_ Unless it's a national chain it might be below their radar.
\_ Write the corporate offices and complain. Post on Yahoo stock
message boards. These kind of things get attention.
\_ I base all my investment decisions on advice from Yahoo stock
message boards, and now I'm rich, rich I tell you!
\_ Does anyone remember a TV commercial about someone seeing an
advice on some message board telling him to buy VBNM stock,
which turns out it's just a fat person sitting on those keys
while laughing at the desk?
\_ Laugh all you want chowderhead, but I posted a complaint
I had with a car repair job from Midas on the stock bulletin
board and had an offer to fix it for free.
Corporate investor relations do monitor these things.
