…and that somehow feels like another thing we shouldn’t have to do, but that’s what has to be done when you can’t trust the dealership to do the right thing.

Oil filters are in short supply for many vehicles right now. My brother in law does the ordering for the local NAPA region. 28 stores. He said that he orders $1.1 million a week in parts. And he gets in $400,000 a week. Said some stuff, no issues at all. But other things, forget it.

Unfortunately even this has left me high and dry. I did exactly this and when I came in for the appointment they did the tire rotation and oil change but didn’t have the fuel filter I asked about when I made the appointment. I was told yes we have them in stock all the time. Come in for the appointment and nope they are on back order. We will call you when it comes in, don’t bother I won’t be back.

You won't be able to get grease for the bearings. Because there won't be any crude to refine into grease.

You think someone sits and types out personal notes or those are sent individually?

No one at a dealership (for any make) sits and looks at what's coming in tomorrow or the next day or next week. They know what's coming in when it shows up, or someone tries to look for an opening to schedule work in.
I thought thats what those fancy pants computers were for!
