The other day I went in to the local Jeep dealer's spare parts area here in Darwin. All I wanted to buy was an Air Filter for my 2003 2.7 CRD Grand.
The guy looked it up on his computer.....
"There's no such car" he said.
"Yes there is" I said.
"No" he said "there is only a 4.0L and a 4.7L".
"And a 2.7L CRD" I said.
"No there isn't you must have it wrong. Have you got the VIN number? Without the VIN number I can't check what the actual make is" he said looking at me like I was some stupid girl
"I told you what the make was" I said.
But he refused to help me until I brought him back the VIN. I went back to my car got the VIN.
He punches the VIN into his computer and then says
"This is a Patriot not a Grand Cherokee.
I said
"No its a Grand Cherokee, but the colour is Patriot Blue."
"Oh!" he says
I have never experienced such a complete lack of knowledge of any product, car or otherwise.
