basil representative is in quotations.

Horrible service. Not once, but EVERY time my truck needs service. (warranty)

{Misfire in cylinder #1 and 5.} “you should replace the plugs and wires”

I just had new plugs and wires installed when the light came on in the first place. Neither of the two solved the problem.

" you should have them replaced again"

No, the plugs and wires are 34 days old, you guys should check the injectors and other parts of the ignition system.

" ok, we will look into it, you owe us $142.00 for the check, because the warranty company is closed after 12 on saturday’s."

I brought the truck in at 9 AM for my scheduled appointment, you had plenty of time to call the warranty company before they closed.

I HATE THAT FUCKING PLACE.

Where did you get the parts. It is feasable if they are cheap parts. What kind of vehicle is this?

It really makes sense as a dealer to keep your local automotive enthusiasts happy, especially in a smaller community like WNY. How many of your friends/family/co-workers know you as a “car person”? All those people tend to come to you for advice about car buying/repair and if you have a negative opinion about a specific dealer it can really carry a lot of weight.

I know for a fact I have personally cost Culligan 5 new car sales and probably 3 times that in service jobs since they pissed me off over some simple warranty work on the GTO.

lol what bullshit…so apparently warranties can only be used certain days? that’s such crap…shoulda refused to pay a cent…you have a warranty that covers is, they can’t tell you when it is or isn’t good (except for obviously if your past the mileage/time the warranty covers).
