    Agree. I think it sucks, btw.

    Just guessing as to why it’s like that. Anytime I’ve ever done anything under warranty I’m always the last guy in the bay.

    Can get to poker through Laporte I know. But if you want to go from Downieville side idk. There are some drifts around though. I'm waiting for humbug summit to open over the pass from Butte Meadows to Almanor so I have my shortcut home from work.

    Service Manager. I deal with this daily.

    You are correct in that warranty doesn’t pay quite as well as customer pay. However, there are other incentives.

    I know tons of other places up that way and the surrounding areas. Also have a ton of secrets in and around Laporte. To bad I wasn't free the next few weekends. The move to Paradise starts on Saturday. Going in our RV and have to do some hand work around the place for a month or so. After that I'm game as hell for that area.

    For the techs? There's none for Ford that I'm aware of. But Warranty does pay full drive rate, unlike fleet, so it's better for the advisors and managers.

    Edit: just Adding to djs post.
    Most dealers warranty work has to be done by certified techs. So if the dealer you go to only has 1 or 2 certified in said area of expertise then you will wait longer. For example airbag recalls they have to be certified in airbags to perform airbag recall replacement. That said they may not follow that rule and it maybe a dumb rule persa. But just an fyi from a friend of many dealer techs.
    I have friends at multiple dealerships for the last few decades. There all different in small ways.

    Let's say my standard rate for a valve adjustment is 1.5hrs. The mfg might only give me 1 hr to do the same job for a warranty claim So yeah, it affects tech and writer pay.

    For us, all technicians must be certified. Except oil/tire. It's always a challenge to balance the workload no matter how you look at it.

    What temp should I have my dual zone fridge/freezer set to? Temp gauge is in the freezer portion so should I go with FDA regulations and set it 0°F?
