I bought a new pickup truck from a dealership about an hour from my home. I told them I wouldn't be able to pick up the truck till the next weekend. They were so eager to cash my check, they offered to deliver it to me. On the day they brought it to me, they called me and let me know they were close. I walked outside to pinpoint my house. I live on a short cul-de-sac. Instead of driving down to the end of the street and pulling in front of my house, the guy drove past my house, pulled into my next door neighbor's driveway, backed out and promptly backed into a light pole. I didn't even get the chance to put the first dent into it.
I bought a new Ford Escape for the wife in 2014. I took it next door to a Fleet Farm store (owned by the same family as the Ford dealer and had them put a trailer hitch on it. (The same hitch at the dealership was 35 dollars more installed). When I picked up the Escape I noticed they had put a half inch scratch on the bottom side of the painted bumper. Any other time I would have said forget about it because you actually had to bend down to see it. I told the service manager I should have the right to put the first scratch in it and he agree and told me to take it next door (again owned by the same family as the Ford dealer) to the biggest body shop in town and get an estimate. The estimate came back at almost $900. The crazy thing is the insurance check was made out to me personally so I was 900 bucks ahead when I didn't have it fixed. :-)
