"Yeah, well, I'm living in the KC area so there's your answer. I'm using BHR Racing as my indie. Really it's just Aaron Holstrom because he basically is a one-man shop. He's a really nice guy, very knowledgable, and explains and shows you things without making you feel like an idiot."
Thanks for the info. That's pretty amazing about the cosmoline. Geting a new car ready for delivery isn't rocket science and cleaning it up should be old hat to them. And even more unbeliveable about the oil! holy cow.
I've been to that dealer several times, mostly for alignments when they were on "sale" and just before a DE, but haven't needed much other service from a dealer, thank goodness. I had heard that their service department improved significantly over the past several years, but I guess not.
Of course, maybe getting the car ready for delivery doesn't fall on the service department? But that doesn't explain the oil issue.
I've also used Bob Hinson a couple of times. They seem to do good work but dammmmmm they're expensive! Or were. For example, they wanted over $220 to dismount, mount and balance four new tires about three years ago. (Standard balance, not road force balance since they didn't have the machine). But they get high marks on service from folks I've talked to about them.
