난이도 & 준비물

증상

Received an email from a main dealer this morning, letting me know my car is due a service... It's not.But I need to take it to the dealer, in their opinion as it my car will be legal then it states come here and adhere to warranty and legal requirementsNow I know this is all marketing, but it certainly lays it on a bit thickAnyone else had this type of persuasion

처리 내용

I had a similar experience with a MINI dealer when they wanted to carry out a lower-arm service on my GP3, which had only done 11,000 miles from new.They’d already carried out an oil service, and I had the inspection video showing that all the bushes and everything else were perfectly fine. Despite that, they refused to turn the service light off unless I agreed to the lower-arm work.The service manager wasn’t there, so I had to deal with the assistant service manager, who, quite frankly, had never stepped foot in a workshop in her life. She was like a bulldog and absolutely f***ing useless.Eventually, they turned the light off, but that was the last time I ever set foot in that MINI dealer in Canterbury.Three weeks later, we bought the wife’s new MINI JCW from another MINI dealer instead.And just to add insult to injury, they wanted over £1,000 for the lower-arm service. Absolute scumbags.
