Electrical issue and shop is stumped

[Chuck35]

Most Excellent! I work in an Auto dealer (service tech) and I was thinking 1 hour was a fair charge every since it was finally nailed down to a battery. I'd rather have the stock battery also

+1, Gunny; Dan at the end of this long and arduous process I feel that you were indeed treated fairly, Ride Now Motorsports just went up a huge notch in my estimation.

Please keep me informed by phone or email in regards to your price negotiations with them on a 2013 Yamaha FJR, Thank You. [email protected] or 480-440-4666.

Thanks Don. I think at the end of the day, whether its a big box store type dealership or a single privately owned one, service and customer service comes down to the local employees. I generally like to keep my business on the more local level, but, as you know, our options for dealerships are pretty limited here in the valley of the sun. Even though they have (finally) treated me fairly, I am, rightfully so, still a little ticked off it took so fooking long, and I am mystified how this whole ordeal fell of the tracks and went the direction it did - especially given the experience of the tech who took care of this. All I can think of is everyone fuks up...sometimes.

I have a feeling I'll be paying close to MSRP for the '13, but Im hoping my long standing relationship with them will get me some discounts in all the ******** setup/freight/etc fees.

for what it's worth, they did make good and earned the keeping of a good customer

good on them and good on you to tell your story even if in the environment of forum mob tendencies foot stomping

Back in my service writer days, folks folks used to come in to the dealership bitching aboot a flat tire on there brand new G.M. product.

Too bad so sad.. G.M. made the hunk of **** ya bought.. Not the tires dick stick. Call the rubber plantation in Africa.

I wasn't a service writer very long.

Dammit! This means I have something else in common with you.

The worst job I ever had was a service writer for a Dodge dealership. It was somehow the service writer's fault that their POS had problems. I got threatened and dog cursed every single day I worked there. I would have to tell them, "I did not build it, I did not break it, and I damned sure did not buy it. Now, let me try to help you." My service writing career was not meant to be.

I only punched one in my service writer career but he happened to be the personel manager at the Sears store where I worked. He didn't seem to see the humor in it and fired my ass. One of the best things that ever happened to me.

I think I know what happened here. The tech was a victim of progress.

The new computerized "capacitance" battery testers just sniff with a couple of tiny leads.

The old school "resistive" testers have huge leads and actually put a load on the battery.

I regularly use my old school tester and it rarely agrees with the new one.

I have seen cases such as this where the new tester passes a bad battery, but usually the reverse is true.

The new ones are more of a sales aid than a diagnostic tool IMHO.
