Its A Small World Afterall
The Service Manager at my dealer was recently fired. I met his replacement today.
Its the guy that rearended me back in May. Hes actually a nice guy and appreciated the fact that neither I nor my dad decked him after he hit us. So hes willing to help us straighten things out with BMW. Just goes to show, you never know when random people will end up becoming a big part of your life. |

That's awesome!
Similarly, my SA previously owned the deli down the street from me (best stuff around too), before I saw him at my dealership. He's been out on medical leave, so I've delayed service a bit. Well, here I am doing the novice walkthru at the last autocross event, and a guy comes up to me and says "hey, how do ya like the 135?". I tell him it's great, and about my mods... and that I have a consistent banging in the front suspension that I could not figure out. He offers that I come down to my own dealership, where he's the new service manager. I reply.. "My car is stock. Right?" True story. |

That's awesome... it's all about who you know.
A few years ago, a friend of mine cussed out a guy that took the parking spot he was waiting for at the university. Apparently he really went off and screamed obscenities out the window. Well, it's the first day of class and guess who his professor is... imagine the look on his face.

I can hear the job interview now:
Manager: "Do you know anything about BMWs?" Guy: "I rear ended one once." Manager: "That's more than the last three people we've hired for the service department! When can you start?" |

Let's hope he doesn't "rear end" you again as Service Manager, if you know what I mean...
Good luck Broken Vert. |
