Good Dealer

Well I thought I would a little differant.

Everybody always bashes the dealers saying how horrible they are. Well I actually broke down and went to the dealer to have some minor maintance done because it was to damn hot, and I just did not want to deal with it my self. I droped my truck off at 0645 for an oil change,new thermostat and a new fuel filter.

The work took a little longer than expected because I think all of Riverside decided to get their cars worked on. My serv rep ended up discounting the work BY ALOT because he gaurenteed me that the truck would be done and it was not ! I talked to the guy that serviced my truck who turned out to be a TDR member that had a very clean 4x4 1st gen.

He did an excellent job on my truck and took the time to go through and explain every question that I had. The thing that really impressed me was that my engine bay was as spotless as when I left, there was absolutly no engine oil or coolant any where on my engine or the truck

The tech even commented on how clean the truck was. Just thought that I would share a good story for a change sorry for the long post
