when i first picked up my 2nd MR2, i took it down to the toyota dealer my buddy worked at to get new belts put on becasue at the time i lived in this apartment and i parked on a hill so doing it was out of the question.

so they find the front hood pop (im just watching) and i start to see the hood go up and one of the sales guys run out and yell "its in the back you morons, jesus....."

the sales guys knew more about the car then the tecs did

those tecs just look at the shop manuals to work on the car so im not surprised to see things like this happen. most people know a lot about one type of car and thats about it.

there more interested in getting the car in and out as fast as possible

Hey jambo101, don't go to woodland terrible service. They didn't even want to sell me a yaris. That had used cars more in my price range, so they said! Never again the worst service ever. Don't tell me what i can buy. As for Spinelli Lachine i got my car there. All depends who you get. It a hit or miss like most dealerships. Service has been good. Did you speak to Pat? He is usually pretty good. Next time see if you can go with your car so see the mechanic work on it. You are paying him, might as well see if he does a good & right job. Sometimes the dealer will call you to see if there service meet your needs, That when you let them know. Did that to bremell & pickering toyota here in toronto. long story. Anyways good luck if anything try duval since they do sponsor the club in quebec so there rep is on the line.

The service guy i got was named Raymond who was an older guy with white hair. I didnt like his attitude as he came across as a smart ass who knew everything and you know nothing.If i go there again i'll try to get Angelo as my service guy.I'll let you know what i think of Woodland. I'm just not prepared to let Spinelli tear my wiring harness apart without a better explanation than they gave.
