Yeah, I wasn't worried at first because I'm considered essential, but now I'm hearing things at work as well as reading the stuff. I've been through one furlough already, but this one's more serious.

Well, I guess I will have to say this, do not bring your car, any car, nothing to Wayzata Nissan. Clearly there is an issue with their techs and the service lane. When I bring in my car, the EASIEST problem to fix they failed at and actually made it worseon top of everything. My complaint was that my washer didn't work correctly, they claimed to have Replaced all 3 of my washer nozzles and it is clear that they didn't replace one. They made my driverside nozzle inop, they made my rear nozzle inop and my passanger side works but not very well. The tech wrote in his comments, replaced washer nozzles, but washer pump is weak. I have a warrenty, why would you not replace the pump when there is a CLEAR issue with it. I have an issue with what I susspect to be a bad thermostat because at idle I lose all heat, and they were unable to duplicate it... I can make it do it everytime by just starting it and letting it idle, then rev a little and hey look I get heat. Just everything they did was half assed I am amazed that I did get a new strut but the tech didn't care about my car and streaked his air hose across my freshly detailed car, horray.. And please, if I am out of line please tell me

Greg I don't think I will be able to make it to the hooters deal If you guys are going earlier in the day, I am working until 7

Dave that is pure aids im sowwy.

Oddball I have a friend who made a glass box there for an 8 inch w7 and it sounded really good actually, He took out the glove box on the other side and made an amp rack and i'd say it looked pretty darn good too.

Well, I work at a dealership, I work at Bloomington Lincoln, only reason I took it there was because of the warrenty. I will go back for them to fix it, I will take a 360 of my car before I take it just to make sure they don't screw with it, if they do I will sue the hell out of them.

I am a journeyman apprentice, IE I am the journeyman b**** whatever they don't want to do goes down the line to me and I have to do it. This dealer is only truely good on the service side to be honest, there are a couple of techs that will try and pull from here and there but Randy our manager doesn't let them get away with much of anything.

I'll probably run that same class. It'll be nice seeing some other Z's there this year, since I was the only one last year. Nothing but evo's and STi's were running last year.
