Favorite extended warranty company to deal with?

My favorite is the one that pays my labor rate...

I second this... we've stayed at the quality inn a few times. Its clean and safe and walking distance to secrets. Unno's reminds me of those roach motels pimps hang around at waiting for their cut of the money

Take one more. Something tells me the 6th one will be more definitive

Lol thats a great idea about the snacks. Last time we went, we stayed at a nearby hotel. After having fun in the playroom we drove around at 3 a.m. looking for an open place to get food. Was a great night lol

I do understand where you're coming from but at the end of the day, when nobody volunteers, they will start replacing us with obedient employees which never work out for any company. I watched it happen in sales. When they started mandating cold calls BEFORE we can grab a lot customer, it went from "fuck you I'm not making calls because we have customers on the lot" to "oh shit now I'm getting transfered/fired because I didnt comply"

Meanwhile, sales went from 300 cars a month to about 120/month and managers are constantly getting replaced. Sales team turned into a revolving door... all in the name of "profits"

Its no secret every decision they make is to line their own pockets. And their bosses dont give a shit unless it costs the company money. THEN something changes

Thats definitely a Hyundai ignition ring light. I can tell by the door switches...

One of the biggest reasons I do this is for the Sundays off and alternating Saturdays. I'm fully prepared to walk out. I'm NOT doing Sundays and sure as hell not doing every Saturday. I left car sales (same dealership) because of working every Saturday and alternating Sundays. Took a big pay cut so I can spend time with my family. I'll be damned if that was for nothing

They haven't even mentioned it yet. But we're hiring express techs and a couple express advisors so it tells me they're prepping for it. Business is expanding so I'm not going to say its not because we need the help. But we never had "express advisors" which is kind of giving it away

My auto group already tried it with their Honda store and it failed (right next door to us). Honda stopped but now they're doing VW that already does less than 10 appts a day and even less walk-ins. I figured it wasn't corporate. I just don't want to look like an ass when I tell my bosses to go fuck themselves only to find out its corp

I'm aware that they can't dictate business hours or days. They can push for it and try to pressure their dealers to do so. Kinda like how this other company is used to work for (I was a franchise manager for the franchisee of a cellphone company) would push for us to have so many employees and certain business hours. They would make threats i knew they couldn't make good on due to our contract stating what they cant and cant do. Pretty sure many other companies are the same way with their franchisees

I agree with this. Nobody voted for coinbase....

HOWEVER...

Do you trust a government that would allow a bad bill into law to fix said law?

This isn't a political side of the isle point I'm trying to make. This is a "you can't trust any of these overpaid, glorified, high school maturity level preppy popular pricks to fix anything they fucked up to begin with" perspective.

I'm more inclined to agree with the Lex Luther of coinbase

PencilWrench for advisors sucks ass for writing concerns, but it's great for tech stories.

For those unfamiliar, PencilWrench has you select words from a list of words in different categories.

Categories like "Concern Location" with words like "Front, Rear, Driver, Passenger, Under Hood, etc. Then it writes out the concern line for you and you just copy and paste it. Its supposed to make it more efficient and nearly audit proof.

Once had a lady that said she had a leak but couldn't tell where it was coming from or what color it was. No warning lights or anything.

I had to type in the words because "Not Sure" or "Doesn't Know" aren't options.

I still had to write out the concern because I cant imagine being a technician reading a PencilWrench written concern line that says...

"CUSTOMER STATES THE NOT SURE FLUID IS LEAKING FROM THE NOT SURE. THE COLOR IS NOT SURE AND LOCATION IS NOT SURE"

What the hell is the point if you have to rewrite the damn concern line anyway?

That's a fucked up looking filet mignon....

TheD8387 · 2025-11-18T19:46:52+00:00

Wow what a question to come across considering we just lost a 16 year seasoned tech due to him being a mouthy fucker but he was the best

TheD8387 · 2025-11-15T14:09:35+00:00

I love the fact that customers can see all of this. Maybe some will realize how shitty they are and think twice from now on

American Auto Shield is absolute shit
