Interesting, just this last week I head there was a shooting at our local Chevy dealer just down the street. I'm glad to know you weren't there, but perhaps someone was stuck in the waiting room for 5 or 6 hours.

I use G.M. as I have a GM used car. I dread going in for my checkups or an oil change, because every time I'm there they find another little ditty wrong with my car. Ok, it's used, had only one owner before me who treated it well. I have kept it maintained for the two years I have had it. One night, after coming out of a nice pub, the car wouldn't start. It was snowing. Fortunately I lived just down the street so walked home. The next day it was towed as the battery was dead. It went to GM. They called me the next day to say, we have to replace the battery, and oh, by the way it needs a new radiator pipe. The price for both came to over $650. I just put $1300 into her for new tires because he old ones were dried out and not safe. Egad!

The worst for me is sitting in the waiting room. It is cold, with big chairs like the one in your pic, covered in cheap plastic that is cold. There is a huge TV you have to face and it is always on Fox News. I detest it! I feel forced to watch it, but I dare not change the channel. I finally went inside and asked someone to change it. They came in and did so and put it on HGTV so I didn't have to watch Political anything. At least I know my service man, Terry, and he is very nice and comes in and breaks news to me gently when there is an additional charge. I can go inside and check with him anytime to see how much longer it will take and he actually finds out and tells me, while he is telling me I might need new wiper blades. Egad! I told him I didn't want them and went to the nearby Auto Store to buy them and had them put them on for nothing.

I get it! It's always painful.
