Default Um...you ARE a Jeep dealership, right???

Walt: "Hi I'd like to have my Jeep looked at"
Stealership: "What vehicle is it?"
Walt: "Its a 08 JKU"
Stealership: "A what?"
Walt: "Um a 08 4 door Jeep Wrangler"
Stealership: "What's the problem?"
Walt: "It won't shift into 4wd low"
Stealership: "We don't recommend you use 4wd low....why do you need 4wd low?"

....silence and incredulity from Walt......

Walt: "Umm.....it's a......Jeep...."

I have an appointment for Monday but I may cancel..........

I don't recommend 4 low either, because it leads to fun, adventure, a Jeeping addiction and upgrades.

You might want to find another dealer to take your jeep to. After a response like that, I wouldn't let them touch mine.

Agreed, either that or speak with the service advisor. If he doesnt know the term JKU, run the hell outta there!

I wouldn't expect them to know the term "jku" just slang, not the actual name of the vehicle. But the 4lo response is a little scary. Its like saying "my a/c is broke" they say "we reccomend opening a window"

Sounds like when my dad bought his Tacoma and asked what 4lo was for, salesmen said "oh you will never need that" haha

Ya not knowing JKU I understand. I let that go. But that last comment was unforgivable.
