Stupid Story 05-28-08

It is rare that a company makes their way onto this blog. Therefore, I would like to congradulate Partyka Chevrolet - Mazda - Isuzu - Truck on 200 Skiff Street in Hamden, CT 06517 for making it not once , but TWICE for their sleezy dealings. Congrats to Partyka!

I received a Post Card in the mail, that said the following:

URGENT RECALL NOTICE

We are sending this notice to inform you that your '03 Mazda 6 is in need of an Important Safety Recall SSP 71 Fan Control Module. To ensure continued safe operation, schedule an appointment. Blah Blah Blah....

Why did this make the list?

#1. The Fan Control Module Recall was released 3 YEARS ago

#2. All this recall did was shorten the length of time the fan would spin after the car was shut off, hardly a safety issue.

#3. If they did any research, they would know I already had this done.... 3 years ago.

#4. I never bought my car from them, so they should not care about me.

#5. The ONLY reason for this post card is to get me onto the car lot. Then, while I wait for this minor repair, they get a chance to low ball me on a trade in, and over charge me on a new model.
