kpaske, considering the are no longer dealing with ISUZU, something tells me there was a reason that service declined. Perhaps some dealers were getting rubbed the wrong way by IoA, the same way we owners are. Dunno, but it is interesting and I should probably ask "them" about it. See if I actually get an answer.
I actually don't know anyone at this dealer, but they took the job when no other ISUZU dealers would. The only person I knew there was the CFO and she isnt there anymore. She does work there come every tax time, but only for a few weeks, then she sits home and travels the world with her fat wallet, heh. I saw her last night and she said she stopped in on the dealer to look at my VX and to talk to them a bit. She told them that I was a very special friend and that my VX had better be treated with the utmost respect and care, heh. Good thing she knows them all well or that would have been taken as a threat, heh. But ya, she said the tech who will be working on it was pretty amped up about the job, so I wont be too worried. I also gave them the go-ahead to take their time. I have another car so I am in no hurry. I surely don't want a job that is pushed out the door to make room for another run-of-the-mill job.
So, the waiting game has begun and my garage is lonely. I don't even park the WRX in there. It is reserved for the VX, heh.
