I took the Fiesta into the local dealer for her scheduled oil change and tire rotation. Since I ran over a large bolt last week and wrecked a tire, they were going to fix that as well. At the end of the day on Tuesday, the car is finally ready for me to pick up. I have been going through Fiesta withdrawal since I have not driven the car since last Thursday when the tire was punctured. Sara gives me a ride to the dealership; I jump in the Fiesta, and take off because I have another appointment. Once I get the car into the sunlight, I realize that the driver’s side floor mat is covered with large foot prints and are very dirty with oil dry. The door trim panel and driver’s side rocker panel are also full of dirt and scrape marks. I get to my destination and look around the outside of the car. Greasy hand prints on the door handles, on the A and B-pillars, and more grease on the front fenders. The wheel with the flat tire was full of grease and marks from the tire being mounted. Every time I bring my car in for service, I have to spend the night cleaning it! The car was a little dirty on the outside since it got rained on last week, and then was parked with the damaged tire for a few days while I was out of town. I was kind of hoping to get the car back clean, as some of the other agents have been getting their cars back. Instead, mine comes back even dirtier than I dropped it off. This has been the same issue I have had for the past 9 years when I take my car in for service, it always comes back a mess. I just hope they put the correct oil in the Fiesta, as they put the wrong stuff in our Escape a few weeks ago. Does good service exist anywhere?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
