Ok, due to circumstances that I have no control over, I can not get off work to make it out to WF now. I am going to release my room reservations at Hotel Attica for Friday and Saturday night. Anyone want me to switch it to their name at that time? I will wait until this afternoon. If anyone wants it, let me know.

firstly you suck.

and yes, put my name down.
 
You got it Nate. It totally sucks, but I changed my schedule last year and it is not where I can work compressed or OT anymore. Set hours and no flex. I had scheduled vacation for 17 days in May/June before I put in for WF and it took precedence and I could not get the WF dates off due to a program deadline we are working towards. I thought that we would get the deadline postponed, but found out this morning it is firm based off the program that is funding it. It sucks bc I donated to WF this year to help out on the FRS radios, n hell, I wont even be getting one now or a shirt etc.....just the way it goes sometimes.

I feel you.
I'm sure we'll make sure that you get a shirt.
 
I was waiting on registering since I was not getting a solid answer on getting away. So no big deal bc I had not paid for anything yet, just was really looking forward to it this year (as always). I can just buy my own FRS if I ever need one. And damn it...I will have a lapse in my WF sticker montage!!

Not a common business practice here. I would say you have a legitimate issue/concern with them. If they were replacing your radio under warranty or goodwill it should have been replaced with a new/remanufactured part. I would touch base with the service manager first. If you do not get what you want from him then call the national customer service.

The guy just called me and said it is normal to put in refurbished or take out parts like that.
I know it was not a refurbished one because all of the presets were to local stations.
I told him I was annoyed that I was not told it was a used one out of someone else' vehicle.
The last thing I felt like doing last night after the day I had was sit out in the cold and call India again and convince them that the radio was exchanged by the dealer and I should not have to pay them $15.00.
I took almost an hour.

I spent almost 5 hours on the phone to India yesterday, I am tired of squeaky voices and mispronounced words from people named Karen.

I have been up since 2:30 fixing my accounting software since Quickbooks screwed it up during the "up grade".

Not common here either. Our radio company is a separate company cant just order one from ford. they are usually reman radios completely wiped clean no stations set or time or anything. kinda sounds like someone screwed up and they pulled one out of a used car maybe. i have seen that happen, something comes in wrong and the tech pulled it out of a new or used car. i hate how people try and hide the **** ups, i would be more upset if someone tried to cover shit up then if they just come right out and say we ****ed up.


cheezeman, you suck. have fun at work buddy!

Good morning.

Today is a new day!

Any of you car dealer people ever put a "take off" part in a customer's car and tell them it was repaired under warranty?

The radio kept blanking out in 'Yota, so after some convincing the dealer agreed to put a new on in under warranty. They ordered the parts and called me when it came in. Two weeks ago they replaced it. Yesterday on her way home, Lar tells me the XM quits working. I figure that the subscription needs to be switched over to this radio, but why did it take two weeks? HMMMMMM.
I called XM, and find out the radio had once been activated and that person's subscription was suspended because they quit paying for it.
Do I bitch out the dealer for trying to pull one over on me, or just let this go?
I need to start picking my battles.

I am already at war with Quickbooks.

because there was a free trial period that expired on the 16th.

that's why it worked with a defunct subscription.

You can have my radio Tyler. I have an old GE radio that was converted to run the frs channels in my jeep.

But you can't have my sticker!!
Stickers add coolness and horse power you know :lecture:
