gm flare
« on: March 17, 2010, 10:05:29 AM »

Hi guys, had to send my flare back to gm because of a split toe, I have asked for a replacement because the bat is so new. Just wondering if anyone has had to send a bat back there and what they did, and the turn around time ect??
cheers

I had a catalyst which split the toe... took it back to romida they let me pick another out there and then... Then that broke like down the back of the bat... Took it back once again they sent it back to GM and they sent me another :) great service i believe

If it only has a split toe they'll most likely try to repair it before giving you a replacement!

Yes but just because you've asked for a replacement doesn't mean you'll get one! They'll want to save money but fixing it if they can.

I think they will put customer service ahead of saving a bit of money, plus lets be honest a replacement is not going to break the gm bank is it

It depends on the damage I would have thought..... repairing a bat costs less than a new one so will be option A for them if beyond repair I'd think they would send out a new one. Every penny counts in business!

It won't break their bank but as Tom says every penny counts in business!

If its more or less BN then any self respecting company like GM should and most likely will replace it for a new one, as long as the damage wasn't through misuse or negligence

Not trying to be funny, but if you've bluntly asked for a replacement, they're probably less likely to give you one. They're the experts. They'll make the correct decision

I think i'm more then in my rights to ask for a replacement, weather they will or not is up to them, but as customdan said as long as its not down to misuse I think they will. But we'll see what they end up doing
