So, a couple days ago I get a card in the mail that looks exactly like the shit I get from the dealer where I bought my car, including a picture of my car (like a profile pic), a couple statements about vehicle service, and telling us to immediately call since they have no record of our vehicle being serviced recently and our warranty is going to expire if we don't get the vehicle serviced. Of course, strongly suggesting I have to have it serviced at the dealer, leading me to believe it's legit because they ALWAYS hard sell service at the dealer.
Well, I get all my vehicle maintenance done at a locally owned place because they're the only place I've ever taken a vehicle that has legit talked me out of unnecessary maintenance when I thought it was needed AND they've taken excellent care of my shit over the years. So I'm locked and loaded and ready to rip a phone agent apart on the grounds that I can point them to my mechanic and they can shove their service department up their ass sideways with their constant part replacement policies and bullshit shitwork "mechanics" that would make my grandpa (the kind one) want to beat 'em with a crescent wrench.
So I call 'em and they say this isn't about the service record at all but about "re-upping coverage."
*RED FLAG 1*
I have coverage for at least another year or two, but I listen to the pitch and almost crack up laughing.
Just $450 today and then $360 every month to continue coverage. Well, shit, that's only about twice as much as the payment for the loan. What a fuckin' bargin!
Where do these fucks get the nerve?
So, she ended up having a not so fun end of the call when I calmly explained to her that I'm not paying for the vehicle a second, especially considering all the money I've wasted on warranties that never pay for anything you need anyway over the years. "Well, we will never be able to offer you this coverage again in the future, so you have to say yes now or you won't be covered."
"Got one word for ya. No." *CLICK*
I wonder how many suckers they get with that shit? I mean, they clearly knew what vehicle I had. A bluebook search would show them the money they were asking for would literally buy me another copy of the car in the same condition, AND cover the extended warranty on that copy. Actually, my car payment which covers both the car and the current warranty (which is far from expired) is well under half what they were asking for. Fuckin' retards.
So, my day's off to a good start. How's yours?
