[A Friend of Charlie]

Speaking of cars, mine started making a grinding noise yesterday. Dealership that sold it to me claimed they had replaced the brakes, but we'll see what the repair shop has to say about it. Waiting to give them a call in a few minutes to see if they have a loaner available so I can take it in to get it looked at.

You can put this story down in the category of maybe could only happen to me and BD. So the repair shop confirmed that I did need brakes both front and back. But when they sold me the car, they showed me the invoice showing they'd repaired both sets of brakes after they got the car in. They even gave me a copy of the invoice, so I pulled that out before I called them. Looking over the invoice, there's no VIN listed, only the car - a 2016 Kia Soul. Only problem is, I bought a 2016 Kia Sorento. So I called the dealership up and they didn't see that the Sorento had any work done, but they did see the invoice that he gave me in the file. So he says, yeah, that's out fault, then he goes into calculating his costs to replace everything. He comes up with it and then asks if he thinks $300 is fair. I said no, fair would be if you replaced the brakes for no charge, to match what you said I was purchasing. So he talked it over with guy who actually sold it to me and they agreed to replace everything at no cost. So now I'm waiting for them to get the parts in, then probably taking it there early next week to get everything fixed.

Sheesh.

That sounds like a huge win. In my experience, I would have likely been told, tough shit and take me to court.

I was absolutely expecting that to be their response. Pleasantly surprised they're going to do the right thing.

No. It was the longest word, but I accidentally omitted the last letter the first time, and I guess that's a word also.
