Don't know how to reply to that?
Luckily you dont have to. I personally would not want to reply to that.

Joking aside therr are good dealers out there.

The dealer at Glendale, California in the LA area has been great so far. I took my 2019 there for warranty work. They were the only one who could properly fix my 2 door front seat issues and they did it promptly. I also did my jeep wave oil changes there and always got the right amount of oil. I bought my new jeep there in 2025. Got a great discount and was out the door in less than an hour they didnt try to sell me anything and jeep doesnt have a weird gps locator.

They just washed my Jeep and tires and applied tire detail. Other dealers couldn't be bothered with even washing it. Front, rear diffs, transfer case fluid change, wash, remapped transmission, $405.00 USD.
That's definitely less $$$ than I expected. I think they get almost $200 for just a fluid change on a single diff around here, although I haven't asked in a while.

That is much less than I expected. Plus you don't have to get your hands dirty. The local dealership that was pushing me to get it done quoted over $700 USD for the same thing.

Decided to DIY (less trans remapping - not needed) . It was simple, quick and cheap - only cost of fluids.

There should be a separate section that has all the dealers listed by State with a one to five star rating and each member gets to vote once.
No comments, just a list of dealers and star ratings.
This is Google reviews. I am quick to point out exceptionally good service or bad. If it's average I don't do anything.

I thought a in house forum version review section of dealers would be a good idea.
I expect for it to cost money at the dealership but as long as the work is done properly I don't sweat it.
I don't have the knowledge or the care to get under a vehicle at this point in my life.

It's absolutely a good idea. I just like to look at what's out there before I roll the dice.
