Gold Member BOHICA Posted November 18, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted November 18, 2022 Ya doesn’t take a speciality dealership to service things like brakes, alignments, wipers, cabin air filters and such. Can be done about anywhere. had a nail in the tire of my car and Discount tire was able to fix the tire. Didn’t need a Tesla service center fix the tire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people actually want to take their vehicles back to the dealership for those services. Dealers actually like providing that service for their customers too. Except Tesla, apparently. But you spin it however you want. No one here would expect any less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla will provide service to your vehicles if you want…. They will even come to you if you desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepybrew Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 as a dealer we provide excellent service. no upselling unless it's something you truly need. our prices are right with the independent shops. we however actually program tires to proper position after a rotation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalina Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I could not read the article - could it be that they have an agreement to do certain warranty services? That would be something different than doing general repairs on a brand of car they didn't sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"we like to allow 500 miles for the suspension to settle before front end adjustments". so we had the choice of no pay for alignment or send it out crooked. we chose alignment , no amount of miles will center steering wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a nice college degree though. There’s actually a few of those positions open in my neck of the woods right now. Thought about taking one but driving all over hells half acre just to deal with a bunch of moron managers and shitty techs doesn’t sound like my kind of fun.

Tech was fucking with a wiring harness.... had a 5 inch harness in his hand, dicking at it with a knife. "Check engine light, canister." Think it was a Corolla....
