Seriously, I already had the truck in the shop getting warranty work.



Relax, its nothing serious. I had a reverse light out. Im glad that i had no problem getting them to cover it but hell they took forever. the truck went right from the service lane to a bay and the truck was parked back outside about 5 minutes later. i saw the ticket go back to the service advisor and it sat on his desk for 10 minutes and he finally took it to the cashier. 30 minutes later, i was standing at the cashier window waiting on her to FIND my paperwork. I hate dealerships sometimes.

 

ya no kiddin... it takes them an hour and a half to do an oil change tha shld take about a half hour at lost, especially seeing as theyre profesionals

 

I wouldn't have even bothered taking it to the dealership for such a simple fix.
But I'm very **** about my truck.I won't let them touch it unless it's for a factory recall or a serious warranty issue.

 

i figure that im not going to have much reason to use my warranty so if something little pops up, im taking advantage of it.

 

less then 2k and had to replace LS clutches. First and hopefully last time dealer sees my truck

 

I agree about normally letting the Dealership fix stuff...but the $1 replacement light isn't worth the hassle of dealing with a dealer IMO

you title had me all scared that something big had gone bad

 

When was the last time you bought a bulb?
While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

 

Yeah at least it wasnt anything major some dealerships are just kind of slow

 

roughly Feb 2007 right before I traded in my 1994 F-150. The Right rear running lamp went out, but I still had brakelight

new bulb was under $2 for a pack of 2



new ones are $5...still not worth messing with a dealer IMO

 

ehh, im gonna take every chance to get something free that i can.

besides, i needed to spend some time in the parts department so it worked out alright.

 

That's another reason I avoid the local dealership.The parts department charges list price for everything. Most of the time I can buy the parts I need online, pay shipping on those parts and still get them cheaper than I can at the local stealership.The last straw was when they wanted to charge me $27 for a fuel filter.

Hopefully your parts dept. treats you better.

 

My local Ford dealer prices;
Motorcraft air filter- $14.72
Motorcraft fuel filter- $11.41
Motorcraft spark plugs- $3.83 each
Motorcraft transmission filter- $18.64
Motorcraft Mercon V- $4.44 quart

I think these are good prices!

 

This particular dealership sponsors the local SVTOA chapter and gives great prices to members.

 

lucky. I would kill to have a Ford Dealer who was active in the owner vehicle scene. Most are just sell only stores.

 

Yeah most dealership parts prices are high most not all of course
