I took True North to my nearby Ford dealer for a wheel alignment after swapping out my 2-1/2” RC level for the Fox Performance 2.0 kit. My ”Change Engine Oil” message came on when I started up my truck, so I decided that was in order as well. My service advisor is a really good guy. Wheel alignment ($129) and The Works ($99) is $228 but he charged me $200 last time.
Today, he asks, How much do you want to pay for the alignment? I told him $99, he says, How about $100? ? How much do you want to pay for The Works? I told him $50. He says, How about $49. ? Whaaaaat? Done! Clearly, dealers are hurting a bit and if they’re buying loyalty, I’m happy to support them. I almost ran home to get my Passat but I just changed its oil last month.
Brand new premises for this dealer - everything is indoors, even the Service parking (P-1 and P-2) - Service Check-in is on main, car showroom is on the second floor, Lincoln’s on third, trucks on fourth. Spotless everywhere - cleaner than @AzScorpion’s Ranger on a Sunday morning.
I should have washed it before I brought it in. I felt like I just ate Oreos right before going to the Dentist. ?
