I'm not going to put the dealer on blast. Just about every dealer pulls this crap. Those paint/fabric/tracking protection packages are 100% pure profit for the dealer. They do absolutely nothing to vehicle, charge you for it and then bank on 99.99% of people never coming back to the dealer to file a claim.Thats some shady sh*t! I said this yesterday but we should be calling these places out publicly. The bait and switch practices, the absurdly high processing fees (shouldn't exceed $99), the mandatory add ons, GPS tracking!?!? are practices that would be frowned upon in all other industries. If you went to a pizza place advertising a 5.99 large pizza and then when you got there they charged you $9.99 because you only had five fingers and not six as described in the fine print three clicks down, then tacked on a $4 mandatory garlic oil crust fee because it goes on as soon as it leaves the oven on all pies you would report them or at least blast them on Yelp. If best buy added an additional GPS tracker to your iPhone you would be calling your politicians looking for privacy regulations. Why do dealerships continue to get away with this stuff???
Even though I'm in NC, I was born and raised in NJ. Let me tell you, the Jersey in me came out real quick when I saw an extra $2000 charge. Told him to bring the sales manager over so I could tell both of them to their faces to F right off. Dude looked like a deer in headlights. I felt bad for snapping at him like that, but at the same time I don't pay for things I did not ask for. Especially to the tune of two grand.
