You have to get heart surgery do you go to some rural hospital 400 miles from a huge city?

The point here is there are many places we use that hire average or basic skilled workers, management and support staff. Most of the people working at Scion and Toyota are at this level. Some good and some bad. The best will move on and out just like in any field. So you may feel entitled to some high service level from people making 25-40k a year at a main stream dealer but REALITY is this is the real world and the reality of paying middle class mainstream prices means getting bottom or middle end support and services. Welcome to the state of our world.

To make your analogy work here, though, it'd be like if you went in to a hospital for open-heart surgery... and they raped your ass while you were under. Now, are you telling me that's acceptable practice for non-prestigious hospitals? If not, then why is joyriding acceptable at non-prestigious dealerships? Get it through your head: this isn't an issue about a mechanic's skill level, it's about common decency in treating other people's property with respect, and that's something that should be expected of people no matter their social strata.
correct! and make no mistake,if ya DON'T treat people decently,AND with respect,YOU will be out of a job,and wondering HOW it happened,and it doesn't matter WHAT you do for a living,and at what pay level! welcome to the new world!..just sayin'
