I do not Like the sound of the "THIRD PARTY" angle!!!! Somebody is going to get burned again. Do you really think a customer is going to come to the dealership and "Pay" for a part that is suppose to be under warranty? Who is going to take the hit when the dealer has to "give" that part to the customer. You better reread the law about warranty---If the Dealer has the part and ability to fix the problem he/she will have to do it on their nickel. So be careful on this agreement!!!!! |
I checked with my attorney back when this all began and he told me the same thing Redneck,Dealers who have parts in their stock that they have paid for out of their pockets,will most likely eat the expense to fix the customer's tractor, there may be no one to warranty the parts and maybe not the labor.most dealers, myself included will shoulder the load out of customer loyalty and respect.we can only hope for customer understanding if the load gets too heavy.Escorts has had many opportunities to step to the plate, as LS-Cable did.they have instead choose to make more profit off the dealer's misfortune.if they wanted to do the right thing, the parts would be sitting on the dock, marked paid.----- taxpayer
