Wow!
Baed on that last post, being that I do work for a dealer, perhaps I or the other techs on here shouldnt answer the questions people ask or give advice unless you first send a diagnostic fee by way of paypal?
Not everyone is a crook and this line of thought has been addressed numerous times in other threads. So before you start hijacking a thread to vent your frustrations about dealerships, look through the posts and put it in the appropriate place. If you have something constructive to say that may help the guy put it up, otherwise vent in the thread entitled stealer so I don't have to read it.
Alot of free advice is given here, which most people appreciate and I understand many have issues with the dealer, but working there is how i make a living. Please don't keep disrespecting me or the other techs that come here. It is getting old.
I'll second that motion!
There's been some fantastic advice given and results achieved by members and more recently techs on this site.
I also understand that it can be frustrating at times going through the dealer, but not always.
I know if I was a Jah Tech seeing those posts I'd probably take it personally as well
Jim

It should be noted that these comments are not directed at the techs. We as customers deal only with the Service managers and service writers. These are the people that give us the info. that we feel is wrong and tell us that certain things are not covered. There is no question that the techs on this forum have been and will continue to be a great help.

Either way Im in a bad situation for the simple fact I will lose $2500 on a restocking fee or I will have to pay $2800 to get the headlights fixed at the dealership. Now I see how Select Edition works on claims and charges huge diagnostic fees time you bring the car in, it may be in my best intrest to turn the car in and lose the $2500. Just say i have another problem Select may give me the same BS about the part isnt covered then I will be out of more money. Whats your take ?

The first sentence of your reply epitomizes everything MOST hate about dealers. Get over it and try to fix it, like you apparently are with your free advice. I give it out every day in my field as well. It's called P.R.
If I were you, I think I would only take my post as disrespect if YOU are in charge of what happens to customers when they ask for help or if you are a failed tech who could learn from someone as technically weak as myself. If that is your bag, you should be furious. AT YOURSELF!
If general dealer customer service failure is public perception, and it is, then you honest folks NEED to be goodwill ambassadors for the dealerships you work for. Lashing out at folks who may buy your product is a pretty ridiculous way of dealing with this. Also a bad way of dealing with building your forum. If the people I worked for treated MY customers the way most dealers do, I would be picking a fistfight with the powers that be on a daily basis. Customer service is nearly dead in this country as it is. And while I appreciate your threads and your advice in these forums, (albeit I am new to the Jag world and these forums), you have no need to take it personally unless you are part of the problem. I have learned enough through repair manuals, trial and error and "shade tree repair" over the years to know when I am being raked over the coals. I don't make this stuff up!
My goal was not to honk anyone off. If you had seen what I have over the years, I am pretty certain, based on your post, that you would in no way be as generous to dealers as I have been. I know there are good ones out there, I just haven't seen many. All you can discuss in your forums is information you have experienced, not what you have wished for or imagined. Unless this scab is picked further, I will have nothing else to say about dealers, but if someone asks, until my perception is changed, I will have no reason to send them to their local dealer.
Thank you for your service to your dealership.

I am gonna agree with pookster208 last post. But I completely understand the post from Jagtech also. The thing is everybody's perception about certain things are based on there personel experience. No matter how you take it, it always boils down to the stuff its related to no matter it effects directly or not. Like here, If you have a bad experience with dealers on something, it always make you feel bad baout the car nomatter if its directly related or not.
Pookster mentioned this in a very straight and abrupt way, that dont make decisions about your cars based on your experience with the dealers or mehcanics.
I think nobody should take anything personal here, until its directly pointed toward them. I never bother replying Benz, cause I know its his personal perception based on his own experience about a certain car, whcih dont make my Jag or any Jag bad. Infact I its something to do with him getting that car that cheap.
I might be saying the same stuff as jagman If I had a bad experience with the dealer I went to. Infact there's another member on this same forum who had a pretty tough experience with exactly the same dealer who replaced everything on my vehicle for free without a single $ in fees (including HID)
So its all about personel experience.

Well Im in a tough delimma right now. I think I will give my car back to the dealer and get ht with the $2500 restock dealer inventory fee, rather then paying $2800 for hids. I really like the car but since Jaguar isnt covering my hid problem under Select I will give the car back to my dealership. If I did keep the car why should I deal with paying a diagnostic fee each time I go into the dealer for future problems may arise, and then they tell me select wont cover it it would cost a couple thousands to fix ? Its a win-lose situation. So rather than fighting back with the select warranty company its best to return my car and lose the $2500 on restock inventory fee the GM states. I will not be getting another Jag but am considering a used cpo bmw m3 coupe. I cannot deal with poor customer service and bad warranty coverage that will leave the consumer shelling out lots of money bc coverage was denied. You guys have been a great help. Any imput would be helpful and informative guys. Thanks

Well first of all, I asked you to PM the last six of your VIN so I could make an attempt at helping you. Again that was ignored. Send it to me and I will see what I can find for you.
Pookster. I apologize for going off a little in response to your earlier post. No hard feelings I hope.
I try to help people here the best I can because they can't all bring their cars to me, and when people rant the way you did, it shows that no matter how many people are helped, it is all for nil.
Maybe when you need advice on something going on with your own vehicle, I will be there to answer the question, and maybe you will see that I am not such a bad guy.
