dealer is fixing it

Yesterday I went to Joe Myers Ford(thats where i bought my truck) and told them that my brakes were squikking and weren't stooping. They gave me an appointment for today at 8am, so i went and it took them nearly 3 hours to check my brakes and i was the first customer to arrive at 7:30am. They told me that the squikking was "normal" for my truck. By the way my truck only has 11K miles, I told them that it was fine but if I crashed leaving the dealer because of my "normal" brakes malfunctioning i would take them to court and sew(is that how its spelled), well the manager got nervous and told me that to show that they care for there customers that they would change my pads and surface my rotors free of charge because warranty will take care of it.Just telling you this so incase you have a problem with your truck and your dealer doesn't want to fix it, you have to stand up to them, hey it worked for me and im only 18.

That scares me. Future generations must have be working to a lower grading curve.

That's great that they fixed it for you.

You may want to try a spell-checker and replace some of those commas with periods while you are at it.

This is one long sentence:

By the way my truck only has 11K miles, I told them that it was fine but if I crashed leaving the dealer because of my "normal" brakes malfunctioning i would take them to court and sew(is that how its spelled), well the manager got nervous and told me that to show that they care for there customers that they would change my pads and surface my rotors free of charge because warranty will take care of it.

As Judge Smails said in Caddyshack: "Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too."

Good for you, polo. That's the way to stick up for yourself.
