Life as I know it

So I finally had a minute to sit down for a minute and thought I would update and vent about a few things. First of all, last Friday Dan and I went to a Sonics game in Seattle. We had tix from Christmas and it was a great game! I had a blast and we were high fiving and jumping around. (I finally found something that Dan and I can get excited about together).
Now for the venting.....I hate car dealers! We needed to get our power steering fixed on our mazda and what a time we had finally getting it done. To make a really long story shorter we first took it to VIP mazda in Abby and they tried to milk us for all we were worth with no success. Just call us the Holmes of vehicle repair. We ended up getting our car back still with only armstrong steering and our engine light on (of which we paid over $400 to have them fix). So we then took it to Morrey Mazda in North Van. They were great about most stuff, including quoting us $500 less for the part than what VIP did. Now yesterday afternoon rolled around ( about 4:30) and I received a call from Morrey that they wouldn't be able to finish the car that night. Okay you say, no problem they will just provide a courtesy car so that I can get home! Ya Right! Apparently they were all used and they proceeded to tell me that I could rent one at my own expense! Excuse Me I Says! I had it out with the guy on the phone and after saying that he would need to drive me home to Abbotsford, he finally agreed that they would pick up the tab! I now have my car back (engine light still on - it's kinda pretty though) and do I have a new appreciation for those people who get around with out a car every day! Kudos to you all!

Wow! Amazing really, maybe you should call Global news or whoever does those consumer investigations. Once I ended up taking the Escort to Carstairs for belt of some kind. I got it back and they had charged me for changing the spark plugs, filling the washer fluid, changing the air filter etc. I told them there was no way I was paying it. They said too bad it was all already in the car. I said, "get your syphon hose, get the fluids back out, put my old dirty filters and spark plugs back in and I will be on my way!" Of course they couldn't cuz it was all in the garbage so I left without paying. Car dealers suck.
