In Reply to: I just got phone screened by a dealer and rejected posted by Robert Joe on February 14, 2007 at 11:24:10:
... So many business are arrogant and rarely see a point in good service as an investment for the future.Every investment is a risk, but where theres little effort, theres less risk, and correspondingly less returns.
This dealer obviously wants to live in his own little world, thats his perogative... pretty dumb if you ask me, but his none-the-less.
