Oh, *now* I’m pissed. Morrison Auto Group (local Audi dealership) just called me. Said that the car was fixed. Said they’d never been able to actually get a speedometer that fit and that they’d opened up the circuit board on the car and soldered a fix and they couldn’t guarantee how long it would last. Said *I* could call up junk yards and look online and see if I could find a reconditioned speedometer. ***I*** could do that. what the FUCK have THEY been doing for the last EIGHT FUCKING WEEKS? And then they fucking had the nerve to say that if, *IF* I had the reciept for the mother fucking speedometer that I did buy, I could bring that in and they would reimburse me for the cost, which ought to JUST ABOUT COVER the costs of FIXING THE FUCKING CAR, which the technician had, and I quote, “lost a lot of time on.” Yeah, I said, funny, so have I.
I’m so angry I’m shaking. As soon as I calm down a little I’m calling the mothership. Mother *fuckers*.
…
Have talked to the mothership now. Am still cold-handed and shaking with fury, but they’re calling the dealership back and I guess I’ll see what goddamned well happens next. I told them that I’d been lied to and jerked around and that I absolutely felt as if they owed me money at this juncture, whether or not I was able to produce the reciept. My *God*, I’m angry.
*helpfully stabs people*
Come on, mothership…
If this go-’round with the lovely people who answer the mothership phones isn’t successful, I’ll thank them and ask to be transfered to a manager. But they certainly are a lot nicer and more willing to help than the dealership people are. I swear I’ve got steam coming out my ears, I’m so pissed.
*winces*
ooh, jeez, i’m sorry i asked. Bastards!
Well, I’d have posted even if you hadn’t asked. *grin* I’m just… *wow*, I’m pissed. O.O
Jesus got, that’s insane. Personally, I know I wouldn’t have been nearly as patient with this whole thing as you’ve been, and would have lost my temper in a high holy fit ages ago. ^_^; Your restraint impresses me greatly.
I don’t think I’d actually lost my temper until now. I’d been frustrated and annoyed, and it’d moved into the realm of the absurd, but now I’m genuinely angry.
Dad was impressed that I didn’t yell at the stupid woman who called from the dealership. I figured there was no point and it’d be more effective to go through the mothership. But man. *seethe*
whoo boy! they’re asking for it!! you should also go to cars.com and file a negative report with the car talk guys. :) a *steamingly* negative one, if you’d like.
Ooh! Ooh! Good idea, Deirdre!
gavin says that when you do get your car back (after you at least threaten to sue), you should take it to this place:
Alaska Import Auto Repair
839 East 8th Avenue
Anchorage, AK 99501
he said they’re fast and fair. :)
Excellent, I knew there was an independent Audi repair place but could not remember the name.
Thanks.
