At the mercy of my lawnmower dealer.

[Rednekdaddy]

I will be buying the 3 factory blade bolts (Hex .62-18 x 1.75 grade 8) for $3.50 each in the morning, from one of the other Gravely dealers 26 miles away. The washers are $5.00 each, but to me they seem to be okay, and they only have one in stock anyway. Since they said that they have plenty of the blade bolts in stock, but only have 1 washer, that tells me that most people buy that bolts but not the washers.

As for what I am going to do about the injustice I have face from this dealer, I will deal with it on Monday, and let everyone know what my actions were. Thanks for all the suggestions of things that I can do. He is not only a Gravely dealer, but is a dealer for their big brother Ariens, and also an Exmark dealer. Letters to them might go on deaf ears because they are salesmen, and most of the time they are just happy to have as many dealers as possible in an area. If my letter or email would reach someone up high enough within their company, then maybe it might trigger at least a warning letter to him concerning his unethical practices, which they feel could tarnish their name. I think I might even have a better idea on what can be done, so people can see what kind of dealer they may face if going to him for their mower repairs. I will let you know on Monday.

If you have the cash, take out a full page ad in his local paper!! Documenting exactly what went on! Don't embellish any part of the story! Then see how long it takes to get action!!

Wow, satman858, based on your seemingly honest information, you sure have been treated badly.
We must live pretty close.. I'm just north of Abita Springs off highway 59.
Is this dealer in the Covington area? Slidell?
Unless he works on Snappers I just want to make sure NOT to go there without watching my back!

HarryHarley,

Yes, the dealer was B.A.M.S. on Lee rd in Covington. I passed close to your house on my way home up hwy 36. I live the other end of hwy 36 a couple miles up hwy 41.
