Redeployment Is Not An Option

Another Invoice, And A Peck On The Cheek

The mystery is solved, and the NukeVan is cool (well, on the inside, anyway).  Without spending 3 paragraphs describing what happened, suffice it to say that in addition to a new evaporator, the NukeVan required a new AC Compressor also.  Not the cheapest of parts, but through hard fought negotiations and a little gentle ranting on my part, we got the work (and parts) for 35% less than what they normally would have charged.  No admission of wrong doing was required by either side, and the file has been sealed and placed in a safe deposit box in an undisclosed location.

Sue over at Beggar’s Shot Glass has a good post to give you some perspective on the inner workings of a car dealership.  It’s a good read to help you next time you need to get work done on your car.  Thanks, Sue.  While I did get two opinions, I will definitely seek out a third next time.  Finding someone trustworthy to work on you car is important.  Second only to having a good plumber.  Remember; plumbing is like poker: A straight flush beats a full house.

    Ooh, I worked in a car dealership for a year. It felt like a hundred and two of them.

    (NukeDad) Ouch. I’m sorry. Like I said, you never see the same faces twice.
