Ford and Ford Dealers
Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2018 1:44 pm
I spent some time the other day to go through some logs, be aware that there are at least 2 members on here from Ford corporate in the USA, I'm not about to name them but it would be nice if they made contact with me.
We also have Ford Aus on here and a number of dealers from around Australia, I'm not about to name and shame but some need to pull their head in. Some do not see the benefit of helping each other, profit gets in the way of humanity and only makes for a lot of unhappy Ford owners. I agree that if an owner stuffs something that the dealer has a right to charge to rectify it but don't look down on them, they are still paying you for the service and if anything it is more profit to you. Smile, talk to them as a paying customer, fix the problem, take payment and smile again. Some service managers really need to change their personality when it comes to the people that actually pay there wage. Without them they would not be employed.
Ideally if the parts I required from Ford to do some of my modifications were at a better price the end result would mean Ford actually sell more of those items to other members, more profit for them again. Win win I say and again if the user break then charge them to fix it. If a dealer wants to talk then feel free to PM me, I'm not about to talk out of school as it is in everyone's best interest.
I could ban them but at the end of the day they will be back. Logs, usernames, email address, log on/off times do give away a lot of information so if they are not seen one way then they are seen another way. Call it intelligent analysys and proxies or alternative logons will not hide it either.
The above was only looked at due to some information that was passed on, generally I have better things to do than search out oddities.
That's my rant, people can help people while still making their profit whilst also improving their name.
