I wanted to publically thank Joemags for setting me up with Herbee Dodge out on LI. I had a few recalls and some warranty issues that I needed to get looked at. I did not purchase my rig in NY and the dealers I have dealt with to date out here have left much to be desired.

Since I met Joe, he has been nothing but selfless and helpful to me. A real person of character here, ladies and gents.... He purchased his rig at Herbee and when I inquired about a good dealer, he called them ahead of time to let them know I would be making an appt.

Well, I got my rig back this past Saturday and because of Joe, I was treated like royalty. Let me itemize what I went in for, what was done, and what it cost me....

1. Hood liner - since I got the truck, it had been kinda puffed up and sagging.:confused:
2. Passenger seatbelt recall - Thanks VTCoA
3. Wheel hub recall - Thanks VTCoA
4. Passenger side mirror - plastic was cracked :mad:
5. Brake pedal rubber - one of the nubs seemed to have disappeared.:dontknow:
5. Suspension - truck leaning by 1" on drivers side :dontknow:
6. Oil Change - No needed just yet, but I figured, what the hell...

So everything was addressed. And when I go the bill, I paid 100 for the oil change. That was it....

I met the Viper tech that worked on my rig and he was cool as hell. He told me he would warranty everything.

The rig will go back in a few weeks because they need to put it on a frame machine to check that the frame is not off. Based on prelimiary dimensions taken, it may just be a spring issue. Seems like they may have put the wrong type springs on one side of the truck. I have trouble believing it since they look identical, but who knows. The point is, Dodge is going to warranty that as well.

So I ended up tipping the service manager and the tech more than I paid for the oil change, but IMHO it was well worth it.

Now, how do I repay Joemags?:dontknow:

Well for starters, this thread is to let all you members out there that have not had the honor of meeting this guy, do it... You may have to drive to see him though, Joe never takes his truck out of the garage.:D And if he does, he trailers it to his destination. ;) For those who have met Joe, you know what I am talking about. Joe is da man...

Joe, thank you for being so helpful to me. Some that have met me already know that I like to bust a little chops here and there. This is genuine.... I have not had too much time lately to bs and catch up here on the forum or elsewhere, but when the summer is over, I hope to GTG with the NE crew again very soon.

Just buy him a trailer for his truck! He will really appreciate that!

Ha... Maybe I need to get him a truck to pull the trailer, a gas station, and a lifetime supply of Mobil1. Actually, I have been in garage, I think he already has the oil stockpiled. :eek: :D ;)

I'm glad you got your problems straightened out. I have always been loyal to this "ol' school" dealership. I bough a car and three trucks from them. Although there are a couple of employees you got to drag kickin' and screaming, most look to be helpful. Remaining calm, knowing your shit, and yes, I always "duke" the mechanic who works on my truck a twenty. I find this, sometimes, gets me just a little more attention, and call me crazy, I hope this translates to the work they perform as well. (I used to work at a dealership, in NY and this was a common practice)
But to ALL VTCoA members here, I DID NOT TIP SCOTT WHEN POSTING THIS THREAD! Thanks for the kind words Scott. :) PS, don't tell Scott, but, I would help ANY of you nut cases here.

Joe is alright, he wouldnt eat any hotwings.....lol


Joe is alright in my book!
 
Forget me not

I want to be on record as stating that everyone I have met and/or talked to on this forum are good standup guys (yes, even Stinker :D ). This post was an afirmation of how people should treat one another. Dang, now if we could get the rest of the world to follow our example....I really think the guys on this forum go out of their way to help others (which is the way it shoud be).

Way to go Joe. I hope others treat you as well.

Perry

p.s. A wing, headers and a supercharger is the only way to go.
