Flippn' Dealers

[88Racing]

To break the news to everyone that my garage queen hasn't been a garage queen for the past few days. It's now my Wife's new rental truck!

Long story short.
Last Thursday her vehicle fell dead on the interstate.
The vehicle had lights but the motor didn't crank.
Grabbed the scan tool and away I went.
Luckly some friends recognized her vehicle and picked her up and gave her a ride back to the house.
Found the problem to be the ICM.
Didn't want to risk damaging the tranny and pull it home.
I was going to use my car hauling trailer.
Problem.
The trailer was burried under 6ft of snow at the storage complex.
Called the wife and asked her if the warranty was up yet?
She said no so I said let the warranty guys handle this, call a tow truck I said back to her.
The flat bed truck came and picked up the vehicle.
They delivered it to where I work part time.
I proceeded to tell the tech what I had found which was the ICM. The tech confirmed this and ordered the part.
But the only place to get THAT part is the dealership, at least around here.
Now here's why I titled the thread what+why I did.
Come Monday the shop didn't get the part?
I called them up and asked if it was done yet. Nope! Was the tech's answer.
What's going on? I asked. The dealership lost the part, the tech told me.
Ya right!? They palmed it and put it on a vehicle they needed it for to fix it.
To make everything all better our parts manager called the dealership parts manager plus the owner of the dealership and our shop got one overnighted to them and we got the vehicle back tonight.
I'll have to ask the parts manager what he said to the dealership to get the part so quick?
But if anything I bet it had something to do with our vette parts stock.
The main thing though is the garage queen is back in her stall and my wife has got her ride back.
