Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me

I am skeptical about the benefits of repairing my car with the manufacturer appointed agency. However, I sent my BMW 525 Car to the BMW dealer in Amman for what they call Inspection II. There is nothing wrong with the car, this is just a preventive maintenance measure. It is
a pretty standard inspection where Some specified parts have to be replaced like Spark Plugs, Air Condition Filters, Oil and Gear filters etc.
They gave me an appointment at 9 AM last Wednesday. I arrived on time only to find that the person i was supposed to me did not yet arrive. Another supervisor was kind enough to check in my car. The body inspection revealed that the lining of the front bumper is missing and a decorative metal element on the door side is loose.
My first shock was when the guy told me that it is highly unlikely to finish with the car by the end of the day. The second day, i received a call from the supervisor who informed me that the engine check they conducted revealed that additional parts need to be changed, like gasoline filter and Power Steering hose. I approved the part replacement, but the other shock was when the guy informed me that the car might not be ready by the end of the working day (which ends at 4 pm). Anyway Friday is off , Nobody called till Saturday noon, so, i gave them a call. the supervisor told me that he will make sure that the car is ready by 2:30 after the team comes back from lunch (if they go to lunch at 1:30 and at the same time finish office hours at 4.00, then no wonder the car takes three days for Normal preventive inspection). I went to pick up the car at 3.00. The bill was 600 JD, yes SIX HUNDRED JD's for a few filter elements and OIL replacement. But this hefty price tag got me excited to meet my car again, thinking that they really wanted to surprise me with a drastic cosmetic BOTOX like make up, or a NEW Look silhouette, or nose job if you like. There was really a surprise. The missing lining was installed, the Small metallic element was not even fixed. The supervisor told me that they would hand over a report to me, and then they told me that report is not ready, and it would by by the next morning. To add to my surprise, the supervisor told me that the the missing part for the Car body were not available, something they did not mention when they called me on Thursday.
I am not even sure, now, that the internal part they claimed to have changed were really replaced. I also made it clear to the gentlemen that i was not satisfied with this kind of service i received, and the gentlemen told me that there was job cuts and the staff is overloaded.
Sending my car to Ole was a conspicuous mistake and now i an not longer skeptical about not sending the Car to the Agency again. They cannot fool me again

Here is what I do with my 2006 car, I only go to the mechanic for extremely urgent things (The car isn't running). I ignore all the other regular car issues (filters, belts ..ect) these things usually run double the time specified by the manufacturer. I've never been to the dealership and I'll never go there.. it is nothing but a stealership.. I don't wanna really depress you but any regular mechanic would have done all that stuff for you for only 100 JD !!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.wilantion.ru]Viagra 100mg pills[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
