Taking car to stealership, do they owe me a loaner?

My local dealer gets stuff from Enterprise. I dont even need loaners. I just take them for the hell of it. Why not abuse someone elses car for a few

They even blamed it on the coilovers making the clicking sound despite I had the same problem before the coilovers. Any suggestions on this?
I did request for a loaner but the shuttle took me along with 4 other people to work this morning.

Chalk this up to experience, but next time, remove ANY aftermarket parts you have, especially those that could be used as an excuse to screw you out of a TSB or warranty repair.
Im having my rear axle, tire feathering, trunk, and bose amplifier looked at by the stealership thursday morning. However i have 22K miles on an 03 which i bought new so my warranty is expired and their breaking my *****. I am very pissed!!!!!

I heard of Dodge dealers doing that. My friend had diff plugs in his SRT4 that were non stock. They were some replacement part and they gave him **** about it.
I would love to see a tech tell me that.
I went in Honda with my Type R many times with 10's of thousands of $$$$ worth of mods. They gave me trannies on the house all the time when I broke syncros because the mods i did did not include drivetrain so they knew they could not refuse it. They tried the first time and I made a big enuff issue that this was never a problem again
One tech had the nerve to tell me they broke because my car was lowered.
I told him to look for a new job. He looked at me funny and asked why I told him that.
Low and behold he does not work there anymore as he didnt know **** about cars.
DOnt take bull**** from the dealers. You ***** enuff and you will get your way. Dealers I got to know I spend money. I usually get the bend over backwards treatment over the bend over with no lube treatment. The first time the try it they regret it and it never happens again. I know how to read the fine print and read inbetween the lines.

My stealership uses Enterprise (100 yards away) for rentals. Whenever they would keep the car overnight for TSB's, they would give me a rental. I had the choice of cars but they would only pay up to $50/day. I got a Titan once and an H3 when they were brand new. Of course i coughed up the difference that my stealership didnt cover, but it wasnt much each time. I also used the H3 to pull a stump out of my yard from a tree i had cut off. :-)

Just goes to show the difference between buying a luxury vs. a standard brand...

+1 on the lexus dealerships..Everytime i take the wifey's IS350 they walk me to the waiting area hand me the remote and grab me a bottled water while i sit my lazy **** on their leather couch in front of their huge plasma tv. They got cookies, brownies, starbucks coffee, 2 computers with internet..it's freakin insane. I usually don't mind waiting for service at the Lexus dealerships..Nissan on the other hand..well..it's not as nice.
And if they do end up keeping the vehicle longer than scheduled they usually put me in a RX 400..pretty comfortable.

I get my Z and Titan serviced at one of two Nissan dealerships. If it is a TSB or warranty issue, I get a loaner. You have to ask and push it, but they give you one. If it's there for maintenance/other, then no. I've had a Titan loaner for a week now.
