howto? light a fire up under dealers butt

Well. I had my balt in to get new tires, and the tech at my work told me my front struts were seeping. So I took it to a dealer nearby and they said they were fine, that it was normal for 06 ls trim struts to seep how they were. I called bs, told them lemon-law, all this, etc etc. They just said whatever. My second time back to have them recheck they refused to look at the car, would not even open a ticket for it. (attorney said had to give 3 chances to fix per lemon law) I took it to another dealer. This dealer said yes, my struts were seeping, that something was broken and they would replace it. Im going to raise some hell with the other dealership when Im done getting the balt back. Anything I can throw at them you guys reckon? Besides just being poor service, what about demanding they replace both front strut assemblies and if not, demand they let me talk to the factory representative? What ya think?

just get it fixed with the dealer that said they would then never go back to the other dealership and keep going to the one that helped you out. you dont want to be a total asshat at every dealer then you get a bad rep and no one wants to work on your car correctly. ive seen it happen before and just letting you know

Y not have some fun...and dont forget to take pics so you can make a "how to **** off a bunch of gm techs" later on

1-gather friends
2-eat lots of food
3-chill...wait for a bit
4-**** in multiple brown bags
5-line said bags up in front of door to garage
6-get car to test drive (used, so they dont go with you)
7-park car next to bags so techs will come to door
8-light aformentioned bags o **** on fire
9-run like hell
10-hide so you can watch
11-like said before, never go back to the dealer, but this way you feel better about it and you can go about your day with a spring in your step knowing that you and your friends made some ones day really "shitty"

Enjoy!!
