Recently I purchased a two-year-old Cadillac Escalade with low miles from CarMax. The truck was beautiful and everything I had wanted at a fairly decent price. I might’ve been able to haggle a better deal from one of the local car dealers, but the nice thing that CarMax was I didn’t have to negotiate...
I took my car to a Jiffy Lube in Endicott, New York. I just wanted a oil change which was about due for my vehicle. I had a Chevy Corsica that was in great shape and very low miles on it. I had previously bought this car from an elderly grandmother that had her license...
This complaint is about something that’s not exactly recent, as it actually occurred several years ago, but it still makes me angry that this even occured in the first place. Several years ago, I was a local area used car dealer and had taken a Acura Integra into the local tire Kingdom to have...
My niece Edna was graduating from college and so as a gift for her I purchased a $100 Wal-Mart gift card. I knew this was a gift she could immediately use and that, I’m sure, would come in very handy – who couldn’t use an extra hundred dollars in this recession? Besides – she worked hard...
I recently purchased the Shawn T’s Insanity fitness workout DVD from Amazon.com. The price was better than what I’ve seen on the late-night TV infomercials from Beachbdy – it was going for around $90 rather than the full retail price of $129 or so. Amazon has this supposed A to Z guarantee program that...
My brother was watching TV about a few years ago and saw a catchy advertisement for Phoenix University (aka University of Phoenix) and their online classes. It stated that he could take classes part-time and online. Being that he had a family, a job and an irregular schedule this sounded great to him. So...
I was just perusing through my local Craigslist and ran across this guy selling Breitling watches. His ad stated that he was selling them for $2300. He apparently had five of these to sell. Upon looking at down his post you could see he just snarfed pictures of Breitling watches from other online resources. Now ask...
I recently started a website about NASCAR racing and wanted to find a way to drive some traffic because I must admit, being that the website was only one week old, there was virtually no traffic. So I typed into a Google search the keywords drive traffic. One of the results that came up...
Just about everyone has either heard of or seen Bank of America’s advertising for their Keep the Change program. It looks on the surface to be a great way for people to start saving money. But actually it’s a way for the bank to seriously crank up one of their most profitable resources – overdraft...
A little while ago I took my 2005 Cadillac Escalade which I had recently purchased to the local Cadillac and GMC dealer in Concord North Carolina. That dealer happened to be Ben Mynatt Cadillac. Well, anyway, the vehicle was in brand-new shape and I had just bought it from an elderly individual that had...
You’d be hard pressed to drive through any neighborhood and not see an ADT security sign somewhere. ADT has become one of the largest home security and protection service related companies in the United States. Unfortunately they’ve put revenues above all else. They have one of the worst customer service and billing reputations out...
If you have had medical tests done in the last several years you’ve probably run into a company called Lab Corp. Well, if you have insurance you would be fine most likely – but I guess now is that all depends on the levels of your insurance and what they do not cover and...
I took my vehicle in to the Hendrick Honda service department on South Boulevard in Charlotte North Carolina. I thought this would be a quick and easy transaction and repair and I would be out on the road quickly – boy was I wrong! I just wanted a routine oil change and a tire...
