I've never had problems getting warranty service at a non-selling dealer. New car sale is basically no money for them. Warranty service is decent profit and regular service is the gravy train. If they treat you right, you come back for more service.

actually warranty work is almost NO money for them. this is coming from a friend who is a tech at a chevy shop. they Hate warranty work. because it is a flat rate. if it takes longer to do the repair they dont get paid extra. and he said in every case they actually loose money over a repair where someone pays out of their pocket. this is why if you take your car to another dealer they dont want to repair it. 1)they have No loyality to you from you buying else where 2) No Profit for them (breaking even at best)

Well I had nothing but disrespect from the first time i steeped on the lot, and mainly because i'm young and a girl... My boyfriend was with me the first time i went, the salesman just talked to him, i would ask questions and he would respond to my bf. I may be a girl but i do know about my cars... Then when i said i was paying in cash, he jsut laughed me off pretty much...then my dad went back with me to test drive it and the same salesman didnt even act like i was there... he handed the keys to my dad adn told him to take it out. It's worth going a 2 hour drive just to not put up with them.. And my indicator light is back on, so i dont believe it was the gas cap.. i dont care though if its serious, i'll let the car mess up and then they can fix it..(if something happens b4 friday i am making that trip to get the oil changed lol)

on my suzuki in the past if that light came on it was due to a increase in emissions. In my case it stopped when i stopped buying gas from this one gas station. (bad gas) and one other time it was my gas cap also. the cap wasnt sealing well enough. In my state if your check engine light is on you caN't pass emission testing. I would take it to that closest dealer and if they refuse to look at it call suzuki and say , is this whats its like to have that 100,000 warranty? The warranty is only as good as the people servicing it..

When you get the cause of the MIL checked, I'm interested to see if it's "P0607 Control Module Performance." That's what it was on mine, and it happened the first time I started the engine after refueling. There was also an extremely long delay in the time it took the mileage computer, and the fuel gauge to respond to the amount of fuel in the tank after filling.

ski/snowboard holder and crossbars

Hello. I am about to put an order in for my SX4 Sport. I've been to four different dealers so far and nobody can give me a straight answer so hopefully somebody here can help. I selected the ski/snowboard holder as one of my options but from the looks of the picture, I will need to also add the crossbars as an additional option. Am I right on this? If I have to purchase the crossbars also, the price isn't all that different from just buying the car without it and buying a Yakima or Thule later on. It seems a bit shady that they wouldn't automatically add on the cross bars when somebody selects the snowboard holder. If I don't need to buy the crossbars then the price seems unbeatable.

Warranty work is some money. Not big bucks, but they usually make something off it. Of course, the big bucks are dealer recommended service where they don't do much and get to charge big $$$.

Pretty sure the cross bars have to be ordered seperately. The price of the Ski/snowboard attachment is less than the crossbars. I'd probably go with the Yakima/Thule racks. Then you can add any attachments, without the manufacture brackets for the cross bars.

also, I have owned two new Kia's in a row and with Kia's and the Long-Haul Warranty one doesn't have to get their maintenance done at a Kia dealer. Do any of you know if the same holds true with Suzuki and their ample Warranty?
I'm assuming that Suzuki will also allow you to get your non-Warranty maintenance work done at the repair shop of your choosing. As long as you keep your receipts as you accumulate them to show that you had the work done and at the right time intervals.
