Pumps' Perplexities

To my best recollection, Sheehy Ford is not an
independently owned company anymore.....It
is a dealership operation owned by the Ford
Motor Company, itself....

I have no complaint with the "business model"
because is is quite common.....That is to
control the manufacture, distribution and
final sale of a product.....Many companies
do this.....

What gets me is that Sheehy Ford in Ashland,
Richmond and Springfield, Va., along with
operations in Gaithersburg and Suitland, Md,
have a bad habit......

If you refuse to have their dealerships conduct
the routine maintenance of the vehicle,
bought from them, your name and telephone
number is turned over to a telemarketer......
I suspect the telemarketer pays Sheehy for
the information......

The telemarketer then sells the information
to other telemarketers and all these people
call you to "update" or "renew" a warranty
on your vehicle.......

Just say NO to Sheehy and you are forever
doomed to telephone calls for a vehicle that
has long ago seen the end of its days.......

Buyer beware, as they say.......Pumps
