Stealership story!!

dudafunk · 06-10-2010, 08:18 AM

The thing about having a "dealer maintained" car being useful would apply more to regular cars not speciality cars in my opinion. A non-enthusiast would rarely buy a used Z, mostly out of the concern that he won't be able to tell how badly the previous owner beat/rev'd it, only someone who knows their car-tech would look into buying a used Z, in which case he would know that its okay to not have a history of oil changes at the dealer...

(Also, what I noticed at my dealership - Smithtown Nissan - was actually the other way round from what people sayin here... they rush things to get more volume cars.. the smaller shop guy is a nice hard working guy who does a more meticulous job..).. it takes the same 'time' at either place.

I guess another factor plays for me, I'm not a fan of 'dropping it off for the day' be it at a dealer or smaller shops after seeing videos of people not doing jobs in big places (check out on utube) at all or just other OCD fears..
