It’s because he’s a complete asshole who doesn’t enjoy sharing his knowledge with fellow dopers. He’s the kind of guy who wouldn’t write up several two page responses to a (seemingly) simple question via PM that has a guy stumped. He’s the kind of guy that won’t spend time off the clock trying to help complete strangers trouble shooting vehicle problems without even being given a make or year to work with. He’s the kind of guy that tries to fuck others out of money; dishonest to say the most of him. In short, he’s not at all the type of guy I’d like to have a beer with.
:rolleyes:
See, that’s the root of the problem. Your industry (GM, Ford, et al bailout scroungers) thinks it is in the key business, and tries at every possible opportunity to overcharge for service minutiae that more service-oriented companies discovered decades ago creates an antagonistic relationship with their customers. Few return, and nearly all end up pissed at your brand. Hence, the failed Detroit business model, it is they who have failed spectacularly at building a better product and better service, and have fundamentally forgotten that they do not have a captive domestic market.
Oh, a new chipped Saab key for my car (I called my dealer today) is $30.
