I am not defending what is obviously a poorly managed service department. I'm simply stating that the quoted timeframe may represent the quantity of work ahead of the next customer.
By this comment, I can only assume you feel my statement was somehow meant to be derogatory. I'm often surprised by number of persons who find offense in the proper usage of the English language. There was no malice in my statement.
The estimated time is usually due to workload ahead your concern, not the time required to actually diagnose your concern. Ford has tried, numerous times, to gain more control over its dealer network. The dealer groups summarily sue Ford to inhibit any additional control over their independent...
Well, let's see...I regularly travel to Central NJ, Leader Heights PA, Williamsport PA, Chantilly VA, Frederick MD, and Leesburg VA. Plus a few times a year, I travel to Richmond VA, Lodi OH, and Detroit MI. So, yes, 695, 495, I83, 295, NJTP, I68, 301, 11/15, I75, I70, 270, I76, I80, etc.. Yes...
dude... I daily drive a 1991 Ford Festiva currently. I have driven Festivas and Aspires since they were new. They are equipped with a 1.3L engine developing a neck-snapping 62HP and 80ft/lbs of torque. I have zero problems merging with modern traffic on I95, which I commute daily. In fact, I...
And since you're on the west side, you need to go to old Ellicott City, and get lunch at the Trolley Stop! Trolley Chicken #3! You also need to go to Kelsey's Pub in Normandy Plaza shopping center. Even if you don't drink, it's worth a visit for their food.
Pretty much all the same. Westgate is near Rt40, which is the county/city line of west Baltimore, and is often considered part of Catonsville.
I work in Catonsville. Not a bad part of town. I don't know your political leanings (doesn't matter to me), but Catonsville is heavily democrat, if that...
speaking of food and that area, make sure you get to Pizza John's! The Corruzzi's are good people with great food. John is long retired, but still makes his PR rounds some nights, and Pete runs the place with his kids. I went to school with Pete's kids, and all the Corruzzis were customers of my...
eh, I'm still down that way often. While not the neighborhood it was in the 70s and 80s, it's still not that bad. Not like Cedonia, Chesaco, Dundalk, or most of Edgewood.
I second Harford County, or even the Harford Co border of Cecil County. Depending on where you work, of course. Just be warned, I-95 traffic is horrible. Almost as bad as LA some days. I'd even take Manhattan traffic over I-95 some days. And if you wind up touring the east side, go out to Middle...
