@sf5211But I am a dick….lmao
Seriously though Morton, I disagree, here’s why.
Maybe it’s because I live in the city, but you can throw a rock and hit a restaurant here. There’s so many that they have to make the experience/food good or they’re out.
Dealerships?
A) they’re limited
B) I’ve already had one with bad service.
C) I don’t want to drive 600 miles just to get good service.
The way my dealership has treated me so far, I’m happy to let them have that tiny space as long as it ends there and word of mouth. I’ll give an example: someone in this forum was complaining that his plug pins wore out from frequently removing his doors. Locks or windows stopped working. Exact same thing happened to me. (Power locks wouldn’t respond). He got hit with a $800.00 bill and couldn’t get help from Jeep Cares. Had to pay. My place? Ordered the plugs, set an appointment, kept the Jeep for a day, called me to pick up, I tipped the mechanic, was handed my keys and told call us if you have any trouble.
This is why I have no problem with their plate frames. Heck I’ll even advertise here: Larchmont Chrysler Jeep, Larchmont NY.
For the heck of it I went and read the reviews on Larchmont Chrysler Jeep's, FB page and the reviews of that stealership are very good. My dealer in Upstate NY, gets similar reviews.. Great, they both are decent stealerships that are doing what they are supposed to do .. are getting top $ to do...
With that said, I do not want my JL or any vehicle I own to be a patchwork quilt so to speak.... don't want it to be a billboard, "sign spinner", newspaper ad, or like an ad on a roadside tree, or graffiti on a train car..etc..
Regardless of whether an aftermarket accessory is great, a stealership is decent, the local pizza shop is great, the local tire shop is great, I don't want their gaudy advertising or logos on my vehicle..
With that said, no Bestop logo on my Bestop SR or Bestop floor liners (removed), no Redline Tuning logo on my Redline Hood lift struts (removed) no logo on this or that (removed) and no plate frames from the local stealership.. (told them don't dare put one on or drill 2 holes in my front bumper)
I actually avoid purchasing items that have permanent logos plastered on them.... that have logos that I cannot remove the day of purchase..
I laugh when I see a decent looking vehicle, whether Jeep or whatever and it's adorned with multiple ads, logos and such..
To each own... but I do laugh at ...

Yes, I do tip a stealership Tech that does my vehicle right, listens to input from me and treats my vehicle like I treat it...
