My Day at the Dealer
Wednesday night I went out.. I noticed my truck was making rubbing noised when I turned.
Rubbing noises when you turn is bad.
I woke up real early on Thursday and took my truck into the dealer. I asked the dealer to check the steering noise out and to check the transmission which was feeling a bit rough.
I got home at 10 am on thursday.. just in time for MacGuyver.The day passed and there was no call to tell me what was wrong with my truck or how much it would cost.
I called the dealer at 6pm but unfortunatly they closed. That really sucked.. My truck was trapped at the dealer..
I called back in the morning on Friday.. they said the transmission was fixed but I probably wouldn't get it back since they just started the steering problem.. this was a problem since I needed to get to work on Friday night.
At 4pm I got a call from the dealerships coutesy shuttle. He woke me up so I told him to come get me at 430p. I had no idea what was wrong and was expecting to pay thousands of dollars in parts and labour since they had the truck for two days.I went to the cashier. I asked what was wrong with my truck.The Ball joints were replaced and they replaced the valves on the transmission. My transmission has valves?
I gave her my credit card, and she charged me $57 after tax..
Yay!
Thats what the deductible on my extended warrenty is.
I paid it and left happy with the low price and a smooth running truck.
I just wonder who bought me an extended warrenty.
My KM's just passed 100k, and I declined to buy the extended warrenty when I bought my truck about 4 years ago.
Don't tell Ford...
