Saabarus get no love July 13, 2007
So I’ve got a busted A/C hose. No big deal, right? Wrong!
Midas guy calls me up. His usually sources for custom hoses are like “Saab? No way.”
The Saab dealer was like “9-2X? Special order. PS: Drop dead.”
I told him to call a Subaru dealer and tell them the part is for an ‘05 WRX Wagon. Unfortunately, he let slip that the part is actually for a Saab 9-2X and they told him to piss off.
Not too surprising, really. All the nearby Saab dealerships are multi-GM centers with lowest-common-denominator service, and the Subaru dealership he called is known for being staffed by jerks.
So I gave him the number for Subaru of Jacksonville, because I’ve used them before for small parts and they are good people.
Midas guy calls back. SoJAX told him to first check with a different local dealer, who did have the part in stock, and Midas’s driver is en route.
Nice.
TODO: Write letter to Saab describing how GM dealerships are destroying their brand.
