Sorry, Dan - it was late and I was tired and I was having a "computer illiterate" moment. Oh, yeah...that's Burt - playing Sean Connery in a porno flick called Burt in Bondage.

Ummmm..you own Parkway in Valencia? I smell some serious BS here.

Can't say for sure but I think what Church was saying is that the same parent company that owns the dealership that he works at owns Parkway. Could be wrong but that is how I took it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


I guess that could be...but you really have to read between the lines there! I read "We own Parkway too" and didn't get the impression he meant the dealership he works for owns them...but it could be! Actually, I own GM. Now, of course, I should clarify that statement by saying that I own several shares of that company......

Yep! Just called Parkway and got a clarification. There are two seperate corporations - with the same dealer of record on each one, and that is Bob Bocchi (I have NO idea how to spell his last name...) They are seperate Corps, however, so the statement that "We own Parkway" is, as I thought, BS. The Corp that Church works for is a totally seperate entity. BTW, in addition to GM, I also own Ford. Is that approaching a monopoly?

The above statement is correct. One of the two gentlemen who owns my dealership is the owner of the Parkway stores in Valencia. BOndage, I was not trying to knock you personally but to make it clear for all that what seems like a "small free" thing to do for people is fine until you have to do 1,000 small free things a month, then it becomes a big free thing. right now are lean times for the domestic Car business....everyone go hit up toyota or Lexus, they're making all the dough

Do let me know though if there is anything I can help you with. No promises, as our 2 delaerships don't have much interaction, but ill do what I can

Bondage....the spelling is Bakshi

Thanks! I can never get it right. So it's kinda like sushi, but only the back of the fish?

As for the money thing, I understand completely...BUT (don't ya hate that word) as I stated, I have spent untold thousands with these folks - the last "grand and change" being for H2 servicing I could have gotten cheaper elsewhere! But I have always like their work and have always trusted them. Sooooo, to make a long story short, they should have, IMHO, bit the tiny bullet and done the service on my gray bumper! I contacted Casa de Cadillac in Sherman Oaks - a bit of a drive, but they seem to want my business badly enough to take care of my bumper - even though I am now out of warranty! I'll let 'em do it and decide after I talk to the service manager at Parkway just who I wanna deal with next time! Choices! They are wonderful things that retail dealers often seem to forget we all have.....

Why is that jeep towing that poor lil Hummer?

Call Hummer/GM direct and start a case file. Things will happen but you have to be presistant. I met Mr. B at Parkway, he seems very pround of that little hole in the wall dealership. Notice all the marble, that is what your paying for.

oops forgive the spelling I am a morning radio personality (dumb dj) and have not woke up yet.
