The car dealership industry is a major joke. I don't remember the name of the dealership but it was in the same time frame as the Lynn Hickey fiasco further north on May avenue. We pulled in to look at a vehicle and they wouldn't give us the keys to our vehicle back until we made a deposit on a new one.“Hopefully” I’m in the final stages of a battle with Reynolds Ford off NW Expressway. I think they take the crown at the moment for this places replacement.
Funny how fast things move when an attorney gets involved, I’m just glad I’m not the one paying paying the legal fees!
I will be absolutely delighted when these scammy local dealers get taken over by exclusively online companies or if it moves where you can buy straight from the manufacture. I know there are a lot of grey areas between manufactures and dealers, then banks and dealers where lots of money is made... but talk about a dinosaur system that needs renovating.
I asked to borrow a phone (before cell phones) and told them I was going to call the OKC police department reporting a stolen car.
We did get our keys back. That has always rested in my mind so even today, we don't let any dealership inspect our vehicle without one of us being in possession of the keys.
