Just received a text from a well known Western suburbs Ford dealer...
"Dear Charlie, This is to remind you that your car is booked in for service at 9am on the 16th.. Regards ********* Ford" My services are all done by Dyno-mite, NOT this dealer, So I rang and asked who made the booking... Service person said "Oh, disregard it if you didn't make a booking, It's an automatically generated SMS reminder service that we use, and would you like it booked in anyway?" This is just one of many texts I've received lately from Ford dealers that I've either bought cars from or used for service in the past... One on the 9th Oct.... "The all new Essendon Ford, free front end alignment with any tyres supplied and fitted in October.. Ring.. 9374-7010" Just how rusty are these guys traveling?... And isn't it a bit invasive?... I mean, I'd love to see what reaction I'd get from say Tenix, Multiplex or ABB if I attempted to drum up business via a text message? (And especially by falsely claiming that they had a booking scheduled!!)
