No, nothing yet. It all depends on how long my medical board takes. They are sending it up to D.C. next week. Could be anywhere from a month to 3 months before I get it back.

Good morning everyone. Ready for the weekend...

Still fighting with the dealership over the repair that I didn't need. They aren't budging after sending a request through the BBB. Looks like I'll be getting some legal help soon.

Can you get legal advice through the military? If not it may end up costing more for an attorney then it's worth.

I can get free legal on base, if they can't help me I can get a free consultation from someone else and see if it is worth it.

I've been going through the Better Business Bureau so far, got the dealerships response back and they are basically denying everything and saying that the part I told them to check couldnt' cause the problem I had, even though replacing that part at the second shop fixed it completely.
