Eventhough the work done by FB was well over a year ago, they issued me a complete refund. I would highly recommend both of them as places to do business for you Ohioians.

I've also heard their service dept is excellent...

As an owner of several dealerships, if I ever saw an employee throw a customer out for any reason, the employee would soon follow. The most important job of a service writer is to write a repair order that is clear and properly reflects the customers concerns. They failed at that. A great example of poor management.

She called several times to get more money from the customer but never fixed the original complaint. Then when all else fails, you throw the customer out of the shop.

Miscommunication is not surprising. I would believe the tech wasn't told about the gas gauge problem. Never sounded to me as the techs were faulty...
The problem (the ban) remains though.
Actually .... seeing how they handle this (no replies, no phone calls) kinda gives a hint as to their communication talent ... needs improvement! lol

I just remembered something else! I had a Champion license plate frame, they took it off and put a Silver Star one on, without even asking me, that is some nerve.
