What is raising hell going to do? Yelling and making a scene makes you look like a child and hurts your case rather than helping it. Rational, intelligent individuals (i.e. the type of person who will HELP you) respond well to others who act maturely. You think I'd go out of my way to help someone throwing a tantrum?
HAHA, yelling does a **** load.
When I bought my car, little things needed to be done that should have been done. Lucky my dad was with me and he just started going off on them about how some **** should be done when they are selling a car.
So I got a FREE extended warrenty and discount on my stage 2 install/kit. You don't want pissed costumers.

I had the dealer do some major stuff wrong & got it all fixed....plus a extended warranty for free, One thing I always do is make them log the miles on the car before giving them the keys! Hell the service manager drives my car to the bays & when it's done he gets it & drives it back out<<<<they treat me like gold now!
<<<<they treat me like gold now!

i work at a dealership. dont talk to the service manager they just bs. ask to speak to the service director. tell him what they did. and yes be calm thats ur key! thats why i always stand next to my car when its worked on. thank god they all have faster cars and care less about mine! lol but being honest my buddy is just to talk to him tell him whats going on. if they dont do it say ok im going to the bbb then they get worried....i did it to a dealership when i stage 2 belt was wayy off thanks to sum punk ass new porter!

I'm not personally criticizing you, I'm criticizing the method of yelling in general. It simply won't get you as far. I'm not implying you let them "walk all over you", I'm proposing that you take the ******* apart in a calm manner. You can hit them a lot harder by taking a step back and approaching the situation in a calm, collected manner than you will by storming in screaming. I'd be just as furious as you or the OP.
Just the way I've always seen things. What you do is your choice, I just don't think it's the most effective way to getting your problems fixed.

I didn't mean to flip **** on you in my previous post, either.
No hard feelings bro.

Yeah, I do agree with you. It just really pisses me off that they think they can get away with crap like that, you know? It really just makes you want to walk in there and strangle the **** out of every person who works there.

I'm totally with you though... It would take incredible amounts of self-control for me to not beat the **** out of the service tech in question were I in the OP's shoes.

How is a clutch "loose?" That doesn't make sense. A clutch isn't something thats loose or tight.
Is it slipping? If its slipping in gear then someone at the dealership smoked your clutch.
Your receipt should have an IN and OUT mileage reading on it. If it doesn't then your dealership sucks.

Okay then dude, that's cool. Don't ******* criticize me for the way I handle situation, especially the one being mentioned. You go ahead and get walked all over, because when a dealership doesn't respect my ****, that's like a huge "**** you", right to my face, and I will not stand for that bullshit. They shouldn't have to be told not to drive the car around on a god damn joyride. How the hell is that childish?.. Because someone morons I should be able to trust, mess with my car?.. So I bitch them out a little? Again, rational?.. I don't think taking a customers car out for pleasure is considered being rational to begin with you jackass.
Before you start unloading the bullshit, you should have considered the reason for what happened in the first place.
I believe the dealership being stupid comes before the customer being irrational with a complaint.

Talk to the owner and tell him why does it have 6 more miles from when you dropped it in it doesn't take 6 miles to change the oil or air filter . They don't have to test the car to see if the oil is running fne or if the filter is working properly if anything it would be probably one 1mile at the most you if they had to park it or something but still that's to much for even that
