Listening to these idiots talk no wonder they have no accountability or respect.

Honestly, the owner of this car seems sorta anal and thinks he’s a snowflake.
If the cracked rim is REALLY at fault of the service tech, then yea, that sucks. The rest isn’t that big of a deal. Do these people think that their cars are worked on by surgical techs in a sterile environment? Lol, good luck with that. |

Granted... I stopped listening to them talk after they couldn't get more than a few words in without cursing. That's also not a sign of intelligence.

How did that drive cause a cracked rim?
Thats impossible. Also the displayed speed on the gps has a lag compared to the driving (5sec or so), so maybe thats why the owner thought that they drove over the speedbump/into the mb parking lot at 50kph. But they dont. But yes the mechanics are morons. Because they get paid shit. When you up the mechanics salary to 100k/year, you can get engineers with proper manners.

That was probably the most tame road test I’ve seen, slowly around the block to a Wendy’s. Techs take customer cars to get lunch everyday. Dirty cup holder noted, but I don’t see fraud. Car was probably in for A service, which is pretty much oil change & filters, 11 min sounds about right.

You don’t bring food into someone’s $200,000 car. That’s worse then taking money for work that wasn’t done.

It's an issue of respect for other people's property. It's just being a decent human being.

Yep, you can’t expect top tier work from people getting paid peanuts. If you want something done the way you want, do it yourself.

The video's author did bring it up to the dealer. Did you not watch the video?
The same reason you posted your post. To interact.

I did watch the video. I just don't see the need to post it on youtube in what can only be an attempt to publicly shame the dealership for no good reason. This is exactly whats wrong with social media. I don't really consider this forum a social media platform the way twitter, facebook and youtube are and even if that comparison could be made I don't see the need for all the public shaming for trivial things on social media.

You know doctors blast music and probably gossip about patients under anesthesia during surgery? Should they be held accountable for that? Some cops I know use tax payer money to take 2-3 hour lunches. Is that a big deal too? Like another reply mentioned, bring this up to the dealership manager if anything. Blasting it on YouTube and social media is a bit excessive and bad taste. Put yourself in a dealerships perspective (or any business that has many employees). Do you think it’s fun to have a social backlash over a couple of your lower level employees being caught on camera for just getting ice cream in a customers car? This wouldn’t make it on the local news because of how insignificant it is. Hell, if I were the dealership, I’d look into legal action for having a camera in the car essentially spying on their employees. The owner of this car isn’t entitled to run vigilante audits on this dealership, and then turn around and sully their reputation over something as minuscule as this. Anyone saying they don’t slack a tiny amount on the job is lying through their teeth. And if we ran witch hunts every time someone did something slightly unethical on the job, most of us would be unemployed. |

I watched the video, was expecting some hooning. It's not like the M5 that was totaled on a test drive by a TX dealership and they tried to screw him.
Original thread: http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e60...16-months.html Looks like he won $160K: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=386265 If there was dash cam in that M5, that would be some great watching! |
