I think I might set the local Subaru dealership on fire, who wants to help?

If I couldn't think of another example in recent memory, I'd say they're the worst parts desk in human history. Massive unemployment, tons of smart people out of work and this is the best they can get?

A few years ago my local SEAT dealer was a combo SEAT, Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler place (in the UK) and I must have been their most regular customer at one point because that's not exactly a high sales combo. The parts counter was this miserable little desk in a warehouse seperate from the rest of the dealership, where the useless bellends who manned it were slow, grumpy, slow, inaccurate and slow.

Eventually I found a cool guy at the VW garage nearby and ended up buying everything I could for my "Volkswagen" there. :hfive:

One of the local Nissan dealerships had a young buck service advisor who argued with my wife that her car didn't exist.

Finally she got fed up and asked both him and the service manager to join her outside, where she pointed to her trunk lid, got in and left.

We got a really apologetic phone call from the service manager an hour later.

edit: seriously though it was everything from "So the paint code I'm staring at is wrong?" to "There's a loving TSB about transmission failures, please sell me a transmission filter."

The quote for an $850 MAF sensor and seeing a picture of the kart club's new track is when I just gave up on the idea of owning that thing.

One of the prints was a limited run, they only did 25 to coincide with the release of Man of Steel. I paid $50 for it. I contacted the artist, he said to print a single and ship we were looking at $175. I put that on my claim and the assessor didn't bat an eye when I explained it.

I called a different dealership and they managed to order the parts for this Friday in fifteen minutes flat.

I had previously avoided going to this one because I felt like it was further away, but after checking Google Maps it's actually way, way closer.
