Well if I had the same guy I would. I've gotten 3 different ones because one I wanted to return to was on vacation, then the next time the other guy I liked no longer works there. This one I have now is the one who had my car when it was scratched. Another one that I spoke to on the phone was supposed to get me documents and after a month she still never did. I am a nice soft-spoken guy in person and never threw a fit at anyone - it's not like they're out to get me - WTF do I do you know? This is supposed to be a top-rated dealer according to the annual surveys. This is the only place I can get a loaner.

Good point. May be I should start with getting my CA a gift. I gave him a very good review on Yelp. Is that enough? He is not the service guy but I'm thinking it would help on the long run. Any ideas on what is a good gift for a CA? The service reviews are terrible at this dealership but they are all like that around here. So, all things equal, taking care of the staff might improve the situation.

i usually tip my SA 20 bucks... its a small price to pay but anything that questionable or a judgement call ends up in my favor...
