I felt like I got one of those monopoly chance cards, "Dealer screws up in your favor. Collect $200."
I've worked with this dealer for nearly 10 years now and they know me pretty well.
So, I get a coupon in the mail. 15% off labor 20% off parts
Hmmm, I need new skins and an oil change and plugs and the 7,500 mile service. Yeah, I have more money than time right now.
So, I take the beastie in on my cord-just-showing rear tire in the rain (very carefully) to be told, "Oh, the tire we said we had, we don't"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, &%&#* off and get serious"
"No seriously, we don't have it"
To which I replied, "Dude, I'm not riding home on that tire. So give me the '07 Busa out there and I'm going home" Amazing how they found tires in the back.
So I go to pick it back up and I have my brand new Metzelers on front and back, new plugs, shiny new oil and everything adjusted nice and tight. Schweeet.
I get the bill, $600. "HAHAHAHAHAHA, &%&#* off and get serious" (He wasn't laughing at me this time)
So, I whip out ye ole coupon and say alrighty then, apply this.
Fortunately for me most people can't do math. So get this logic:
$600 - 15% = $510 (remember, 15% off was for labor only, not parts!)
to which I reply, "Ummm, I get 20% off parts"
"Oh yeah, hmmm, how do I do this?"
$134 (rear tire only?) - 20% = $107.20 more off
so, $510-107.20 = $402.80 final bill
I felt bad when he asked, "Does this look right?" so I just said, "Looks GOOD to me!" He rang up my card and I rode home a happy camper.
Please teach your children basic math skills.
