Back on December 1st I asked you folks for your opinion on a "Buy 1 get 3 Free" oil change coupon received from a Chrysler dealership where I had purchased a used Chrysler back in 2002. Today I went in to get oil change #1. I handed the coupon to the service tech who looked up my 97' Cirrus in his computer and proceeded to enter the coupon info. With a puzzled look on his face he announced that the coupon was invalid on my car. I asked him how could that be since I had called the week before and the tech I talked to at that time had my Cirrus in his records and told me everything was fine. "Did you ever buy another Chrysler from us?" he asked. I responded that the only other Chrysler I've owned in decades was a 2000 Concorde which I had purchased from another dealer and which had since been scrapped due to an accident 2 years ago. "Well, this offer is only good on that car." He said. I resisted the urge to start swearing and calmly asked why would Chrysler offer me oil changes at one dealship for a car that I had bought at another dealership especially since said car was no longer registered and was probably crushed into scrap metal by now. The only thing he was able to mutter out was that the other dealership was out of business now and that his dealership was "getting all their business". I told him that not only was he not getting any service business from me but that I would never buy another car from his store and would most likely never buy a Chrysler again. Once again, I have learned---IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT USUALLY IS.

Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Dec 30, 2008 6:35 am) The whole idea of the free oil change gig is to get the car in the shop so they can see if they can sell you some other service. Hell they just got a couple billion form the guv you think they could afford an oil change.

Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 02, 2009 5:55 am) I bought the car used in 2002. It was a 1997. If they couldn't find a dozen things that need fixing I would be shocked. But you are right, they really shot themselves in the foot as I was planning on spending my wait on the oil change looking around their lot for my wife's next car. Dumb, dumb, dumb. |
