Default Jeep dealer gave me something for free!!!...really!

Howdy all, well we all know how jeep like to stick 600% onto everything they sell.
I have seen threads on here stating how expensive it is to replace your key's.
I went to Northstar Jeep at redcliffe and they quoted me $176. Thinking this had to be a trick i said alright anyway, a week later they called to say they had my key (I was bringing in the front left freedom panel to have a new foam pack put on it, last week of warranty). as usual they ordered a key that did not fit my jeep. I can back a week later in the morning only to be told I would have to leave my JKU for the whole day just to get the key cut and coded because they were busy. Of course I said get stuffed, so they assured me that if i brought it in early the next day it would only take an hour. I rocked up at the stealership the next morning with
my 8 month old son with me (though i could stroll around the shops accross the road from the stealership with my babyfor the hour)
It took jeep 4 hours to get the key cut and coded, anyone with kids will understand how hard I was working to stop my 8 month old baby from going OFF from this time delay.
ANYWAY...Jeep handed me the key and said 'no charge' becasue of how they stuffed me around......it took a few seconds for it to register with me.
So you can get something from a jeep stealership for free!

Totally hear you about being out with the little ones.. Glad to hear they went out of their way to make up for the broken expectations.

not exactly free if you think of the time and fuel wasted with all the stuffing about, but at least they recognize the fact and have offered the key as compensation.
