Alright, you might get sick of my moaning but...
So I bought new tires for my car. My summer tires were getting to be a little too much "fun" in the rain so I looked around and found that the best deal was at my Mazda dealership. I figure great! I can have them replace my speaker (under warranty) and tension up my handbrake at the same time (a couple vigorous handbrake turns too many...)
So my Dad graciously helps me out by dropping it off. The day they're installing the tires, just to make sure, I call up the dealer to ask what time the car would be ready for pickup and to confirm they're installing the right model of tire. They proceed to inform me that they were just in the middle of installing the tires.
"ES100s, right?" I ask
"No, H4ts"
"I ordered ES100s and had your parts dept. confirm they were in"
"Oh. Let me check...Yes H4ts.."
FACK!
Well they assured me that the correct tires were available. (They had in fact not ordered the right ones..but they would have them for 4 pm)
They hadn't started on any of the rest of the work yet. Cause, ya know, doesn't make sense to move a car in and out of a service bay... Of course...that would be inefficient. But they said the car would still be ready for pickup that evening.
So I pick the car up that night, and think to myself wow, those are some cool tires. Good thing I checked-in to make sure that they didn't screw that up! Good catch Chris! Good catch indeed! Heh heh...Idiots...
So I go to my car yesterday afternoon to get something and as I approach from the passenger side I think: Yep, those are some cool tires.
I go around to the driver side and think: Yep those are some cool...uhhhh...
FACK! THOSE FARKING ASS-TARDS!
They managed to install the driver side tires backwards! I figured that after looking stupid having scewed up the tire ordering, the least they could do was install them correctly...for 60 bucks no less!
(And this after once having brought my car in to have a buzz in my door fixed, it taking and extra day for them to fix, and then getting it home to discover the buzz had been replaced with a rattle. They had left a bolt rolling around inside the door...almost comical!)
So what to do? Spend some of my precious life driving out there (it's far) and demand my 60 bucks back? Or just have the tire place across the road from my office switch them over get the dealer to pay for it, and demand my $60 bucks by refunded to my credit card? I would relish being "dissatisfied customer" in their service department, but is it really worth the time and effort?
Alright, this is way too long. FACK FACK FACKITY FACK FACK!
