People parking their big ass cargo work vans about a 1-1/2' from your car and then you finding a mark on your side panel... then you go ape shit on them and later find out the assumed mark was just a harden speck of really white hard mud. Oh well, screw him and his buddies, I was still mad as hell about him carelessly parking so close to me in the first place.

What do you do when you find out a supposed best friend of over 30 years tries to cheat you?

My best friend's wife ( I considered her just as good a friend) is the office manager at an automobile dealership. I do car detailing on the side, and because I only own my Camaro, I have to load my stuff up in it. I really don't like doing this, because wherever I go, there is a chance of my polished paint being marred, dogs/cats running around , kids playing ball, etc.

So my friend tells me his wife told him they have a van they just got, and I can get it cheap to detail out of. I think "Great"!

So I go look at it, it has a busted windshield, 2 bald tires, and a dead battery. They jump start it and it runs OK.

So she tells me they have $500 in it, and a new windshield will be $150, for a total of $650. I hand her my credit card. Normally, I would do research when buying a vehicle, but because I completely trust her, I didn't.

I come to find out that the vehicle will have a salvaged title, that it's only worth $280. When I left the dealership, I didn't sign anything, only had the receipt, which said nothing about purchasing a vehicle. Only the amount, dealership name, and transaction ID.

When I confront her with the info, she says she will get my money back, changes her story 3 times, and today the GM of the dealership refuses to give it back to me.

A vehicle cannot be sold by a dealership if it can't pass inspection, isn't that correct?

Even more troubling, I am Godfather to her two sons. I have never, and would never cheat them, or try to sell them something for over double what it is worth. She has been in this business for 10 years, so she knew the actual value of the vehicle was worth less then 1/2 of what they wanted.

If you can't trust a friend of over 30 years, who can you trust? Absolutely sickening.

This is enough venting for me.

Working with IT vendors in India! Some got their stuff together, but a majority I find are dumber than rocks... and the one I'm having to work with takes it to a whole new level!

This is what I said.

What do you do when you find out a supposed best friend of over 30 years tries to cheat you?

Why do you have to perpetrate lies?

But you quoted what I said and CHANGED what I said. If your going to quote someone, DON'T CHANGE WHAT THEY SAID!

BMR Sales · 12-16-2016, 04:33 PM

Wow, I guess you do need to Vent! I already deleted my comment and you're still going!

I guess that you don't see that I have a sense of humor.

I will guarantee that I will never Quote you again and I will try to avoid you at all costs!

A customer brings her car in. Check engine light is on, engine power is reduced. It goes 35 mph MAX. I take it back to my stall, diagnose the concern. Drain tube from the sunroof is disconnected and a lot of water (it's snow/raining right now) followed the a-pillar down to a connector in the dash. Sets an accelerator pedal 1-2 sensor correlation. I had to lower part of the headliner, remove trim panels, dry connectors. About 35 minutes into my diagnosis/repair my service advisor tells me the customer came into his office mad, telling him she needs to leave, she has to have her car back right now. Mind you I haven't even told the customer what was wrong, I just started fixing it because the 1 hour diagnostic covered my time and no parts were needed. I'm sorry you have places to be, your car has other plans. I am just here to help you get back on the road lady.
