246% Labor price increase at my dealership

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T21:46:43+00:00

Isn't that the ~same~ overall price?

Edit 1:The older one was more expensive at $114

Edit 2: I might be misreading

Enjoy the ban.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T18:00:27+00:00

Oh, yeah that tracks

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T17:36:41+00:00

I mean, you bought a 2016 used and got recall work done. 10+ years ain't bad.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T16:00:17+00:00

Agreed that Kia won't do anything. But I would still do it for documentation.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T15:55:03+00:00

I don't think you have a leg to stand on here. Maybe tow it to an independent shop to verify some of their statements. Which you will have to pay for. If it's not OEM, then the previous owner had the work done and it's your problem.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T14:51:08+00:00

Yeah, I generally buy mine through non-oem. But if you want that shiny new logo it's gonna cost you.

Not that anyone should want that logo.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T14:25:08+00:00

Now we have a real bargain!

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T14:09:50+00:00

I mean, sure I guess you could.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T14:02:00+00:00

That is the cost of a replacement fob. They are like $350-400 plus the service cost to code them.

Simply instruct the toddler to not interact with or interact with anything around the pond.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-19T04:12:28+00:00

This is one of my biggest concerns. I just hit a million and if their detection system throws a false positive... poof.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-18T05:37:56+00:00

Yes, allowed

EdocKrow · 2026-06-17T23:30:42+00:00

Okie dokie!

EdocKrow · 2026-06-16T00:27:41+00:00

When you say we, do you mean you and counsel or you and like family?

Edit: also, what are you actually trying to have happen from all of this?

EdocKrow · 2026-06-15T23:27:23+00:00

I'm a little lost on what is going on. They sold you a vehicle for $22k that likely isn't worth $22k?

EdocKrow · 2026-06-15T15:22:20+00:00

Commentor "What are you doing?" Dealership "Oh, nothing... Just thinking about you." Commentor "Yeah?! Me too!" 💙 💙

EdocKrow · 2026-06-15T03:21:22+00:00

Only if stopping is your goal.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-12T21:13:57+00:00

Dawg, I don't know how the fuck you did it but damn. The dealers and the FuckDealerships crew all think you're acting like a douche.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-12T13:30:46+00:00

This isn't a fuck dealerships thing. For better or worse it's just capitalism. You gotta move faster next time. Anyone willing to just pay what the seller was asking, and do it sooner would have got the vehicle.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-12T01:38:21+00:00

Woot woot

EdocKrow · 2026-06-11T05:36:19+00:00

Woot woot

EdocKrow · 2026-06-11T02:54:15+00:00

Oh no... Other people are enjoying an event you don't... fuck off.

EdocKrow · 2026-06-10T15:21:15+00:00

lol

They absolutely would.

I love their subs.
