This is our strength.
BUT...
We need to be meticulous with our records.
I don't even have my truck, and I already have a folder on my home desk just for it.
My father-in-law is an attorney.
His favorite statement is, "A verbal statement/contract is only as good as the paper it's written on."
EVERY time you go in for service, try to get everything discussed in writing.
HINT:
Get your service rep's email address. While waiting for service or within minutes of speaking to them (so you don't forget), send them an "in reference" email.
BCC a copy to your spouse/partner/or alternate email address.
BE POLITE! I don't care if your truck explodes on the service drive; just be polite.
Your maturity and level-headedness will go a long way if you ever need to go down the Lemon Law road..
Example:
<DATE>
Hi <____>
This email is in reference to our earlier conversation on <DATE:TIME>
We discussed <ISSUE 1>, and <ISSUE 2>.
You mentioned <SOLUTION 1>, / <COMPENSATION 1>,/ <BENEFIT 1>
How long will you need my truck?
Thank you for your time.
