I know up in Red Lake they had frost reach below 9 feet and broke a water main. My steel fence posts are in the ground 4 feet and some years I have to pound them back down because the frost has pushed them up 4-6 inches

Yeah me too.. Dropped the truck off yesterday morning to have 6 strobe lights installed.

Was supposed to take all day..

Called them around 4 pm to see if it was going to be ready cause they close at 5 pm

Guy tells me they won't have it done in time and said he needed another hour.

Told me it would be ready by 9 am..

Bobby drives me over there at noon to pick it up and the guy says it's scheduled for the afternoon

The B@$t@rds didn't even do anything.. Didn't even move it from where I parked it..

I went to the dealer and beatched them out cause they sent me to that idiot

Ouch, what a foolish thing for them to do. its a simple set of LEDs....I bet the shop in RI could have had it done in an hour or two and you could have just had a beer around the corner and waited.

We sometimes get temperatures in the -40's for as much as 6 weeks in a row before it gets into the milder -30's...lol

Services are retainable for about the next 2 weeks on a discounted price point, and are very rapid response and flexible, then timing will be more limited.
