DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I hope there are other dealers near hers for servicing, i wouldnt be going back there

 

Longview pretty much.

But yea, I would be leaving with some Honda shit, or free upgrades and such.

 

I would expect the dealership is going to give her nothing they don't have to at this point. Toss her the keys and send her on her way. I wouldn't go back for sure.

 

Exhaust Authority in Plano did my muffler install. All around good experience.

 

A GMC dealership once thought they could pull the 'buck stops with me' line with my dad. The Regional VP (from out of state) was waiting for them when they opened 48hrs later. Long story short, my dad drove off with a new truck and left the lemon he had in his dust. Made for a hell of a bargaining chip when I arrived at the dealership a couple years later for my own truck - salesmen were turning themselves inside out trying to find more rebates for me.

 

She has the car, VP of the dealership finally posted something, and now there is an apology on their facebook page.

But their rating is now a 1.7 out of 5... They started this morning at a 5.

 

The shop bends them also.

 

thats something i do wish was managed, online ratings. thats going to hurt them for a while.

 

Yes i do, and i have no complaints about it as of yet! It also has the dual sun roofs on top like the sky 2

 

Would not take much to take a grinding wheel to them and clean up the edges. But that is just my 2 cents. Would make them very nice.

Yea it will. Especially Facebook ratings.

 

I think a grinding wheel would be a bit much for an aluminum bracket, but my bench grinder has a wire wheel on it so i could try to run it through that. Its just me right now so that would require more work on my part and may raise the price...

 

Bench grinder with a grinding wheel would work just find for aluminum, as long as you don't put a lot of pressure on it.

I have done it before. If you were closer I would help you and just make it assembly line.

Side note... not sure if you know this, but you can buy boxes to ship in by bulk from USPS for free. At least you used to be able to.

 

I've heard good things about Kinney's Muffler Shop on the north side of Fort Worth, but have no first hand experience

 

For priority mail you can get free boxes

 

I just walk into the USPS store and grab a bunch of boxes and then take them home. I have one on the way home so its easy.

I have seen that you can just order the boxes for free though...

Edit: I remembered that i am starting to get low so i just placed an order for 50 more boxes. We will see how long it takes to deliver.

 

Anyone possibly need front 2nd gen 5100s w/885s?

 

Uh oh, what's going to replace them on the truck? Toytecs?

 

If you can, keep them for when your new ones are getting rebuilt.

 

This guy knows whats up, it's good to have a beater set to roll around on

 

Nothing set in stone yet. Good idea, ill keep em
