if no objections, it will be gone in 5 minutes.

If you see reason to delete it then I do not have a problem. I think however that this discussion showed how a forum can work - it stayed on topic and while got a little out of hand - still maintained a degree of integrity / allowed people to see others opinions.Quote:

I would say keep it up but I won't complain if you choose to get rid of it.
OK, it stays open. As long as people want to discuss this topic, it's fair game. get nasty and it will be deleted.Quote:

I object to deleting this thread. BTW. It's the review of a shop and has valueable information in it for anyone considering doing business there.
Why don't you show us, ONE post of mine on here that is "baiting"?Quote:

So lemme get this straight:
You gave a service department all of 15 seconds to remove your tank in order to check your battery, they said "no" but gave you other solutions to check/ correct the issue and because they didn't turn a wrench for free that makes them suck?
Wow.
FWIW; I have very good relations with Hudson Cycle Center and guess what, I've never asked them to turn a wrench for free or borrow tools.....and yes, I've spent many thousands of dollars there.
I understand why the techs didn't want their tools to be lent out....that's their money-maker and risking a broken tool isn't worth it.
If you own tools then you understand why any respectable tech doesn't lend out his/ her tools, if you don't (which it's fairly obvious you don't) then you cannot grasp the concept.
Yeah... you don't read 2 good.Quote:

And what's hostile about my post? Because it's not sugar-coated? Because I'm calling it like I see it? Well okay then.
Plain and simple, you asked to borrow tools...the answer was no....you asked to have someone remove a tank to access the battery...the answer was no...so instead of trying the suggestions offered to you, you decide to post how much a particular establishment sucks because you didn't get the free service you feel you're entitled to.
Again, the attitudes thing is subjective and holds no merit here, IMO. Who's to say you didn't show an attitude once you realized you weren't getting free service which possibly set off a reaction from the person you dealt with?
You wanted wrenches turned for free, the answer was no. End of story.
Methinks the customer sucked in this scenario, not the dealer.
bergs, you're too late, you missed the rumble. We've moved on to lollypops, hugs & teddy bears.
One more thing, you wanna consider which posts are hostile, what with you calling people assholes and saying F-U to the dealership.
You know what they say:
Point your finger and there's three pointing back at you.
(give it a try, you'll see)
You obviously didn't read. She has leads coming out for her battery tender. The only 'tool' needed was the multimeter, but the DEALERSHIP told her to take the battery out, which would have required tools.Quote:
