Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

[y0z2a]

On my service report for 36,000 miles it has recommended items that need replacing...

mine went something along the lines of:

Rear Bench - Not Present
Rear Seat - Not Present
Rear Seat Belt Anchor L - Not Present
Rear Seat Belt L - Not Present
Rear Seat Belt Anchor R - Not Present
Rear Seat Belt R - Not Present
Driver Airbag
Passenger Airbag

etc. etc...

Mr Hughes are you aware that your car is missing some of its vital components?

No I wasn't

Yes Mr Hughes, you are missing some vital safety equipment for passengers that you carry in the rear of the car...

I had to smile at this point...

I've got one that'll be worth a few laughs ...
How about being told that they're putting the 182 2.0L engine in the Renault modus

Just makes me want to go out and pre-order one now

[Rich]

PMSL - Good old stealerships.

 

[Mike-bham]

There is nothing wrong with your car sir......

 

[Hector]

told me the new renault sport was gonna be a twin turbo, and the megane 225 engine wouldnt fit in a clio, not really funny, just inaccurate, as they so often are..

 

[Turkish]

Mine told me that my lowered suspension was causing uneven tyre wear. I then pointed out that they standard wheels had only been put back on the night previous and prior to that had only been on the car when the standard suspension was fitted

 

[dazraffan]

"well give you £8000 trade on your mr2 mr raffan and im afraid we cant real budge on the price of the 182 because there in high demand"

so i went to an other dealer and they gave me £12500 trade in and dropped the price of the 182 to 12800

 

[Andi-B]

told me the new renault sport was gonna be a twin turbo, and the megane 225 engine wouldnt fit in a clio, not really funny, just inaccurate, as they so often are..

turbo in the RS? megane maybe but not the clio.
The megane engine will fit in the clio, The gearbox is bigger so that wont

 

[Mondial172]

Hasn't you're car done about 80k Yoz?

 

[Hector]

turbo in the RS? megane maybe but not the clio.
The megane engine will fit in the clio, The gearbox is bigger so that wont

sorry mate, meant the new clio sport would be a twin turbo.

 

[Justin182]

Mine went something like this.....

Dealership "So Mr Banks, whats your registration?"
Me "err... T**JCB"
Dealership "Right so thats a 172"
Me " No, it a 182"
Dealership " Are you sure?..... they look very similar"
Me " yes, positive."
Dealership "But it says here that its a 172"
Me "Maybe...but i am telling you its a 182"
Dealership " I'll just got out and check for you"

Etc.... etc....

WTF ??!!!

 

[Pete]

They wouldn't sell me a monaco blue touch up pen for my mate's 172 because I had a black one and it wasn't a colour match!

 

[Rich]

LOL - Mine told me rubber matts I wanted for winter use wouldnt fit the 182 due to its different floor pan!

 

[Liam]

there are some awesome quotes there! LMAO at Justins dealer!

 

[Rcbuk]

telling me `no' when I asked him if the replacement alternator he wanted £900 for was made of Platinum.

LOL !!!

 

[Nicksie]

when the new Clio launched, typically went and had a nose

dealer "so what car do you drive"
Me "a 172 CUP"
dealer "you know that this 1.4 isn't as fast as the CUP"!
Me "really, no kidding"!

 

[rory182]

Dealer: A new wing mirror will be £200 becuase your cup doesnt have heated or electric ones.

Me: No, it's a 182

Dealer: No it's a cup

Me: It's not!!!

Dealer walks away...

Dealer comes back...

Dealer: OK £19 for a new mirror lens!

Me: can I use my 10% discount? lol

 

[Harry_manback]

i used to own a mini 'RED HOT' but it was sprayed in thistle purple, a ford colour.
so i went to get a touch up pen.

"and what type of car is that for"

"a mini"

"im afraid ford dont make minis"

"yes i am awarfe of that but its still in one of your colours"

"please wait here i need to speak to the manager."

Also mototek in doncaster told me they needed my car for between 3 and 5 weeks to fix a throttle problem, which turned out to be a worn out wire.

[Nafoff]

[Justin182]

Oh.... Just remebered another one.

(Parts desk)

Me "Hi there, just wondering if you sell those foam cans for punctured tyres"
Dealership "Yes we do, that'll be £72 please"
Me "err... "are you sure?, i'm just after 1 can."
Dealership " Yes"
Me "Why does it cost £72. Can you justify the costs."
Dealership " No... thats just what it says"
Me " But i can buy that a Halfords for £6"
Dealership " Are you sure, maybe its cause ours are designed for renaults"
Me " Okay then.... i'm off to Halfords. Thanks for you time."

They really dont think about what they are saying and just read shi*e off a computer.... idiot lol.

 

[Slugger]

That they wanted to charge us over £200 for rear pads on the V6 haha

lmao, theyd best not be £72. Another reason not to use them.

 

[Day]

Of course we never left it there...

Was considerably larger before a few weeks of smouldering away.

After I found it wedged between the engine manifold and the heatshield after some non covered warranty work...

[fUbAr]

The Service Manager, Mr Darren Flowers (Olympian, New Milton):

"Im afraid the problem with the engine mounts is related to the uprated tyres you have fitted producing too much torque, the mounts cant cope. This means they wont be replaced under warranty."

Me:

"Oh rite, since when did TOYO T1-S tyres produce extra torque?"

Darren:

"Well in the case they are, so you have to pay for the 2 mounts we've fitted"

Me:

"You were supposed to change all 3 mounts under warranty"

:approve:

 

[edde]

The the parts department
Me "I need some rear shoes"
After some checking numberplate etc are you sure there drums etc etc yep here you are drum pads.
Never looked at the box opened turns out to be rear pads for a Williams. Not bad though sicne I did need some pads for the car still thats not the car they know I own or I asked for parts for.

Or best one
Dealership mecahnic goes out for a check of the car with me.
"You know we had a 1.2 i here looked just like a 172"
"Arr right so it had the wheels
"Err no"
"The body kit?"
"No"
The wheels?"
"No"
"A proper roof"
"No"
"So what did it have to make you think that it was a 172"
"It had the badges. We even had to open the bonnet to show people who didn't belive it wasn't"
They wonder why I never go back there.

 

[Sir_Dave]

I have a few:

When i had the 306 Rallye, parts desk told me categorically they never made a 306 Rallye. After arguing for 5 minutes i dragged him outside and showed him the car.

When i had my M Roadster, the service also bimbo assured me my car didnt exist and they never made one . . .

My Renault dealer dealer told me the tread on my spare wheel was illegal at its 24k service on Tuesday . . . i drive a 182 :S there is no spare wheel

[dalla]

I went to a dealer the other day, to get a price on the clips for the rear spoiler!!!
Me:
Hey, i need some mounting clips for my 1991 Clio 1.8 16V
Dealer:
The Mk. 1 Clio's never came with a spoiler, are you sure it is standard??
Me:
Ehh yeah!!
Dealer:
Ohh it must be a 2001 then???
Me:
No 1991 1.8 16V!!!!!!!!!!!

He then had to look out the window, before he realised what car it was!!

Then:
Dealer:
Ohh it is a 16V, thats type D57 right??
Me:
No it is B57!!!
Dealer:
Are you sure??? You better pop the hood, and we have a look!!!
Me:
Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jonnyboy]

I've had a couple of corkers from ranult Pontefract, apparently if you buy a french import they dont have any undersealing or weather protection (because the French climate is oh so different to ours!)

Best one was being told by their odious little pikey recetionist that "renault do not make a 2.0 turbo petrol megane, it MUST be a turbo DEISEL" erm ok chuck I must be mistaken, the old oil burners running pretty well to say I've been putting unleaded in it for the past 6 months!

 

[Dave S2K]

When I ordered my 172 2 years ago I was asked if I wanted "full leather interior for £895" !! ??

I said "Isn't that the V6 only?"

He said "No, it's the entire Renault Sport range"

I said "no thanks"

Wish I would have said yes now, could of been interesting!

 

[ant]

me : thats not an eighth.

dealer : it is when you include the bag.

 

[scott67892002]

you may take the pi** but working in a dealership you get some right idiots
customer
"my mate told me i need some brake pads in my car"
parts bloke
"what car is it"
customer
"er a blue one"

or the best is
"i need the tracking doing on my car"
"why"
(gets arsey) "coz the wheel vibrates at 60"
