Q: brent d wrote my post was simply to ask why people are willing to pay twice for repeated care in the doctors office but raise hell like wild cats when a part fails twice on their truck. i think everyone pretty much understands what your post was really about. jerry .

while leaving the customer/service relations arguement aside i would like to approach a subject of a lighter manner. i would like some advice on resolving an issue with my sons truck. when one of my sons turned ten i purchased him a 65 ford f100 camper special 4x2. this was to be our father/son project. the truck belonged to benny grey unsure if i spelled his name right. the story is unknown by many but was popular enough to have a song made about it the bones of benny grey. he simply was a man that disappeared in the gunnison colorado area and all that was found is this truck. it was suggested that he fell victim to a band of indians rumored to still be in the area. since we live within several hours of the gunnison area and attend it frequently for camping and fishing my son is proud to own a piece of local history. my problem is as follows we want to do a frame up restoration. while the powertrain performs as well as a new truck 352 with a 4spd and only requires few repairs with cleaning. the body is. . . . well. . . mostly there. the rest disappeared with benny. cancer has taken its toll on the sheet metal. cab replacement is the easiest option but my son does not want that. it simply would no longer be the truck benny sat in. many replacement panels and weld in pieces are available but in some places there is nothing to weld to - its gone. my second option is to turn it over to a body shop. this however negates the father/son experience. what would be the best way to retore the cab without making it look patched together where panels will have to be fabricated so others can be welded back brent ase and gold certified chrysler technician .

brent d wrote in a simple nutshell i will try to explain the antics of a dealership service department. i can not explain poor dealerships with questionable techncians this is for you to determine. i simply hope my explanation helps you understand why a dealer does what it does. a dealer is monitored by the manufacturer as to how many repairs it does. if a dealer does one particular repair more than other dealers of the same size and zone then a restriction is placed on them for that repair. this is not right but it happens. this can result in a service manager instructing their technicians not to recognize that particular problem to eliminate the restrictions. i would hope that any dealer would ignore these restrictions if the repairs pertained to safety. as many have suggested a dealer will not recognize a problem with the vehicle until it is out of warranty. now you know why. your problem is with chrysler not the dealer. the problem is with both. as for an independant repair shop charging less; bullcrap. as a customer you simply picked up the phone and found a shop that charges less per hour. what sense does it make if an independant charges less per hour but charges you more hours because they are not familiar with the vehicle what a load of crap. the independent went to the same trade school you did. flat rate is a guideline - not a law. a dealership may charge more per hour but charge less hours since they can diagnose the vehicle quicker. this is easy to understand since they are more familiar with that vehicle and its common fallacies. this also does not account for the thousands of dollars per month that a dealer spends on special tools to peform the repairs quicker and more precisely. another load of crap! one individual suggested they had been in a dealer and saw a large amount of dust on the special tools. he could not be more correct. not every tool is used every day what tools are used is determined by the failure rate of specific vehicles. perhaps this individual should spend more attention on their shop than the dealers. one thing to remember is this; unlike an independent a dealer has the right to not use a special tool because at least they have it if they need it. brent master ase and gold certified chrysler technician .
