The Holidays have passed, and my BMW X3 is back home - warrenmeixnerrickenbacker
The Holidays have passed, and my BMW X3 is back home where it belongs. As stated in my previous pre-Christmas evaluation I had an appointment scheduled for fluid/filter/serpentine belt replacement. Unbeknownst to me and certainly not requested, Elite undertook a 55 point inspection for which they charged me and did not refund. This 55 point unrequested inspection indicated specific front end/rear end work was required. when the mechanics list came back to me via my advisor, listed beside every item was a note that my car was unsafe to drive and be on the road until this specified work work was carried out. I brought the mechanics notes to the service advisor's attention, who immediately insisted that I sign a declaration verifying my car was unsafe to drive. I refused and was accused by the advisor of being uncooperative.
In order to protect my driver's licence and my insurance, I was left with no alternative but to have the work performed. Between the work I had originally requested and the work that I had no alternative but to have performed, my total bill , two days before Christmas was over $7000. The service Mgr. claims to have given my a break, due to the fuss I caused, by giving me a $2000. discount. During our lengthy discussion, he also asked me if I was a Christian?? He said he would pray for me and my wife. To this day, I do not know how Christianity comes into having ones vehicle serviced, because when my request for service was prepared, nowhere on the work order was a request for spiritual guidance, enlightenment or redemption. If this type of unscrupulous behavior is passed on to a Christian, I shudder to think what level of service service I would have received if I had confessed to being a Jew or a Muslim. From my original work list the transmission was to have fluid and filter changed. This work never did take place. I have made two requests to have the transmission serviced, preferably as a courtesy, I have not heard back and until this final work is performed to my satisfaction, it is my intention to escalate is issue further.
