Dealership woes...
 

So my splash guards came in today, so I'm pretty stoked to get 'em put on. The sales guy drives off in my car, it's gonna take about an hour. I get my car back and there are gun metallic splash guards on my Pearl white Z. FAIL!
:shakes head:

I ask them to take them off and politely requested they order the right color. They tell me it's going to be 1hr+30min to take them off because of workload; I don't have hat kind of patients at this point. Needless to say, I'm driving around with a multicolored Z. FML!

Oh yeah, it took like three weeks for the wrong ones to come in.

Order from vendors here is a lot cheaper and got mine in 1 week.

Um, thats why you do easy stuff like that yourself. Less headaches and $.

How much did they charge you for the install?

it was all free. They didn't make me pay for illuminated sills, carpets, trunk mat or splash guards, but the splash guards weren't on the car when I bought it.

I don't even want to drive my car. Sounds silly, but I really don't. Me and the wife are car pooling next week, lol.

I know sh!t happens, it's just annoying when it happens to me.

Are those techs freaking stupids or color blind? :shakes head: :shakes head:

sounds ridiculous that they even went through with installing them? guess they were hoping you dont give a chit? :shakes head:

:iagree: WTF?

Thats the same thing I was thinking. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt; maybe they, as the techs, thought that is what the customer(me) wanted. Oh well, you win some and you lose some, lol.

Just unscrew them and pull off the double sided tape.

Pics? Amazing they didn't think before putting them on lol

I'll let them deal with all that when the right ones come in. I don't want to ruin anything and give them a reason not to fix it. No money is coming out of my pocket so I'm going to remain cordial and keep my cool.

I hate to say it, but they are starting to grow on me, LOL.

certainly a unique look.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic :ughdance:

Sometimes I walk past it and get annoyed all over again, and other times I see them and think to myself, "It could almost work." LOL

haha, if they were matte black you could probably roll with it.

Who ever put those on must smoke some good dope!

LOL. I blame sales, not the technicians. For all the techs know, that could have been what I wanted.

sideview pics plz

oh and of your wife too...

make it snappy

Bwahahahhahah

Dude, wtf, rofl!

Hopefully you don't trust that place to do any real work. I wouldn't even get my oil changed there after that display of incompetence.

:iagree:

they would probably forget to re-install the oil drain plug :bowrofl:

:iagree:

Thy might accidentally put coolant in there.

I had a place put coolant in my washer fluid reservoir once (on an old car)

:shakes head:

As requested...

oh snap!

ya definitely need to be color matched...that looks awful

:yum: boogers

I didn't notice our demon dog in the background till now, lol.

Gee thanks. :/

I've been letting my wife drive it cause I don't wanna be seen in it, lol

ask her not to put boogers under the steering wheel :ugh2:

'dissn dealerships is as common as bitchin about gas prices these days.

:icon18:

Just drive real fast so no one will have time to look at it :D

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any speeding caused as a result of this post.

They deserve it when they do something like this.

If they were black, it would actually be kind of cool ... but I don't like that.

That looks awful haha.

Also your dog might kill you in your sleep

If you are a salesmen and you take offense to this, I sincerely apologize. I was merely venting my frustration. I like my sales guy, we're both orgionally from the same city, but I don't care if you are friend or foe, if you do something crazy imma call you out.

And let people bitch about gas prices all they want, that just means there will be more open road for us :happydance:

For those who were keeping track of the time, I just got the correct splash guards installed. When I called yesterday to get the status, they said they are on back order, then, they said an order was never place. When I told them After this weekend I'll be gone for 6 months and if they couldn't get it by then I'm coming down there to get my money back (I don't think I paid for them anyway), they magically found a set, so my wife took the car in today to have them installed.

Those sneaky bastards. Anyway, congrats on finally getting it fixed :tup:

Let's hope they aren't red this time!
