Default Good Dealer experience

Last night my still under warranty AGM battery died in my 02. I called the dealer this morning and he said that he would send a flatbed trailer tow. I asked if I could bring the battery in and he said that if I didn't mind it would be fine, he then said that he didn't like to tow Vettes unless absolutely necessary because of the possibility of scratches, damage, etc. When I got to the dealership he had the battery waiting, did a quick check with the tester and I was on my way. Thanks Midway Chevrolet!!!
Incidently, this Vette was not purchased from them.

Great story!

Don't dealers realize when people have good experiences they never hesitate to recommend a friend to the dealership?

Word of mouth is very underrated these days by dealers and retailers
