Very practical thinking I'd say. :lol
One of my school SRB, I like it
I have done similar in the past, looking at their faces after telling you white lies is very rewarding.
Good out come in the end.
I hear you on some dealers, I wont ever go near the local again either. Two refused warranty claims (Since resolved by me and MMA) three times they damaged my vehicle ( Dash, body and canopy) and wont accept liability even when I have pics for proof. Sigh, I leave this here.
I use a good mechanic for all the work I cant do my self and only take it to dealers for warranty issues should they arise. Have found a good dealer in Sydney thankfully.
Long as the work is done by a licensed mechanic, use genuine filters and book is stamped your warranty is valid even with modifications done.
I'll do a detailed speal on this topic soon.
Their road side is not worth pissing on any way, as subbed out to NRMA who will send you a nice bill if via a dealer if the "dealer" cant replicate the fault Happened to me twice.
Better off using your own preferred road side assistance out here.
