Car woes #2


Dear Martins Collision,

We as writing to thank you for the awful excellent care that you gave us during our last run in with a deer. You have helped us make a very easy decision.
Last night we were driving home from a friends house when we had another run in with Bambi. Although the damage was not as extensive this time, we still know that we got him good. While we do appreciate the work that you did on our car, the deer did not, they chose to hit the same area that you just fixed. We know that you worked so hard making our car just right, sitting on your butts that entire month that we waited to get our car back was a nightmare treasured experience. Sure other collision repair companies could have fixed the car in a couple of weeks, but none of them would have left all that glass in the interior of our car done as good of a job.
This time we will be taking our business elsewhere, and at the rate we are going, there will not be enough deer to pull Santa's sleigh for Christmas.


Sincerely,
The Hansen's

p.s. Cass and the baby are fine

Oh my gosh I can't believe that! That's hilarious/sad/unfortunate/amazing. Seriously, sorry about that, but fortunately Santa's sleigh is pulled by deer of the REIN variety, which I don't think you guys hit.

Glad you guys are okay, even if the car was never meant to be in working condition.

I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the rudest people I have ever heard of!!! Oh wait no, you are the rudest person ever!!! The fact that Martin's Collision couldn't fix your wife's lousy driving mistakes isn't their fault, she is beyond repair. And for your information, maybe you should take a lesson from kindergarten classes: Treat people how you want to be treated. Maybe if you did that you would get what you wanted every once in a while.

does anyone know who chocdoc is? We can't tell if this is a joke or not. We are thinking that it is not, which makes it even funnier.

Wow another deer? That stinks for you and the poor deer. We will have to start calling you guys bambi killer from now on. What really stinks is that if you had waited to fix your car from the last time then you wouldn't have to pay for it twice for the same repair.

Yeah, this is chocdoc and it is not a joke. I just came across your blog and found it interesting that you were so rude about Martin's Collision, and yes I intruded your privacy and read your other posts and found that you are the rudest person I have ever read about. You are inconsiderate and feel like you are all that and a bag of potato chips along with your "loving" wife...yes i just did that. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed is she? Is that why you are always on the defensive and are always so rude? Well, if it is maybe you shouldn't let her go out in public..Just an idea.

Dear interloper,

The business in question wasn't paid to cover anyone's mistakes. They were paid to fix a car. They did shoddy work, and they took an outrageous amount of time to do so. The author of the post is within his rights to complain, and paid for those rights in cash. No business can expect that its customers will simply overlook shoddy work.

Lessons that you imagine to be taught in kindergarten are one thing. Later on, they also teach economics. You think the golden rule doesn't apply to businesses?

By the way, who are you again? And do you cowardly jump into other people's lives and throw hyperbole in their faces like this in real life? Because in kindergarten, I learned that treating people how you wanted to be treated is better than being a hypocrite on the Internet.

May you be hit by a deer.

Well Matt...#1 I am not being a hypocrite on the internet because yes I am treating someone badly but frankly I don't care if anyone on this post treats me badly..honestly I can't expect much else from a person that wishes a deer bad luck because he ran out in front of their car. Like the deer said, "Oh maybe I'll jump out in front of this car and risk dying!!!" And I do agree that he has a right to complain about the repair but did he ever think that his car isn't the only one being repaired so it could take a while? Matt...#2 on your comment of wishing me to be hit by a deer, I am not wishing that anyone gets hurt in anyway, I am just expressing my opinion on the rudeness of the people who have this blog. You may not notice because you are like them but they aren't just rude about the deer, it is in general and you can read the negativity in all their posts.

Get a life "chocdoc!"

Aren't you two just lucky ducks - ha ha. Sorry for your loss!

Laurel said...

Wow. I was out of town for all of this chocdoc crap and came home to quite a surprise! I am dying laughing! Nate and Cass-sorry you had another run in with the deer. That sucks. And CLEARLY, this chocdoc person doesn't know you personally or they would never have said what they said. AND they obviously never saw the condition of your car after being "fixed." I, for one, did. They were probably also picked last in kickball and have been looking for attention ever since. Wow. Chocdoc is obviously worse off in this scenario than anyone-deer included! Do you need friends sweetheart? You obvously didn't learn anything in Kindergarten either. Pretty sure you haven't treated Nate and Cass the way you'd like to be treated. Just so you know, they paid for their car to be "repaired" and were promised the car would be done MUCH sooner then delivered. And they didn't even finish "fixing" the car! Before you go nosing into stranger's lives, maybe stop to think that you don't have ALL the facts. It'll save you a lot of humiliation in the future. Hope someone smiles at you today, chocdoc! You sound like you could use it. :)

chocdoc! YOU ROCK! oh, you probably don't know that I am joking, because you don't understand sarcasm!

The Thatchers said...

Holy crap! I can't believe you hit ANOTHER deer! That sucks! And I am pretty sure that "chocdoc" works for Martin's Collision...that is why he is so upset...

Lame...I can't even believe some people.
