There was a recall ordered for my car. Something about the door panels, and a potential safety hazard. So I made the appointment for bright and early this morning. And then I was told the work would take three hours, and that specific recall did not warrant a loaner car. grrrrr
I brought my tablet to play games on, sat down and the waiting game began.
Okay, I could have taken the courtesy shuttle some where, but where is there to go at 8:15am? Then I would have to wait for them to pick me back up. So, I chose to stay at the dealership. Chairs were comfy, they had snack and drink machines, hot coffee, and free Wi-Fi. It couldn't be all that bad.
In my three hours, I saw elderly people, young people, really people of all walks of life. They were in and out, I literally out lasted them all.
A mother who did not know how to discipline her two year old son, let him play on her cell phone, and run around crazy.-Mine never did that.
I got quasi indoctrinated by the endless cycle of CNN, over and over and over, the same stories..
Rush Limbaugh was right, the MSM will focus on the Illinois tornadoes and get the public off Obamacare.
But then the next story was of the woman who Obama highlighted as a Obamacare success, only to find out she really was not a success.
CNN also reported that today is the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, and why is Obama not attending when he touted himself to be just like Lincoln... well they did report he is part of the growing community that wants all citizens to memorize the Gettysburg Address
I think it is more important that we learn the Pledge of Allegiance first and keep it in schools.
They showed the serial killer who shot Larry Flynn the Penthouse Magazine publisher, and how the guy is scheduled to die. Good! Another person that the tax payers no longer have to pay for. But Ole Larry feels sorry for him and does not believe in the death penalty so he is petitioning the CA Governor to halt the execution.
Then the stories played all over again-That is why I Like Fox News, they don't do that.
Finally after my three hour wait "Ma'am your car is ready, but it looks like you will need a new battery"
"well how much is it" ?
" $123.00"
" ummm I will pass my husband can take care of it"
I know how dealerships work, they get you coming and going. I paid, was up and outta that place. Stopped and got lunch for Senior and I.
Enjoy the rest of your day folks, and please tell me no more CNN! : )

I hate car dealerships, guaranteed to run into at least 3 con men.
ReplyDeleteCar Salesmen are what gets under our skin. fortuantly I did not have to deal with those today...
DeleteJUGM,
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid dealerships for maintenance especially if there's no longer a warranty.
Hubby usually works on the vehicle, and if he can't get it fixed, I go to this little guy in town. We both trust him. It's hard to get recall work done any where else. One must go to a dealership to handle this.
Senior usually is our repair man. But this was a factory recall on the door panels, so we took it in.. If i didn't have kids, I probably would have blown it off, since there were no reports of injuries from it..
DeleteYep the Lame-stream media will do anything to cover for Obummer. I used to wonder about it then figured out it isn't so much the media as where the media comes from. They are all city folk and they just hate the rural people and cannot for the life of them conceive of Right leaning politics period. They just don't hire people from the provinces and out lying sectors.
ReplyDeletethey were also on the Toronto Mayor story...gave that way more time then probably anything else. very annoying. Yes the media is city folk, high dollar and high maintenance people....
DeleteSounds like a calgon moment!!!!
ReplyDeleteI need some sort of moment...ha ha
ReplyDeleteBoth of my kid's Jeeps have current recalls. I have been trying to get them in there to get that taken care of. I told them not to pay anything and not to buy anything, and if they tell them something else is needed (like a battery) we'll take care of it somewhere less expensive than a dealership.
ReplyDeleteThankful it was only 3 hours there and not all day! I used to watch CNN at the gym if it was the channel that was on near the exercise equipment I was on. It was only 30 minutes at a time; not sure I could go for it for longer than that.
ReplyDeletebetty
FOX is the only news allowed in this house :)
