So I brought my car in for the swap on 8/5, as has been scheduled for a month and I'm back to report: Nothing.
The storm that blew up the east coast this past week knocked out power to hundreds of thousands which included the dealership (and my house too). They said that I could leave the car and take the Fusion loaner but they had no idea when they would get to the job, or they could call me when they were ready. I said, no thanks to leaving my car unattended in a sea of door ding potential...and that I would come back when they were open again.
Strangely enough, I was just out for a morning walk and there was a Fusion loaner car parked in my neighbor's driveway from the same dealership. Something tells me that this was the car that I scheduled a month ago. Maybe or maybe not....but they're clearly up and running again and they haven't called me yet.
So just a heads up on this- nobody wants to do this job. This isn't "easy money" for any shop and you may be treated accordingly.
