Default 2005 Crossfire SRT6 dealership won't work on it

This is the age in which we're living - I have a mint-condition, 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 with 76,000 miles on it and the [dealership from which I purchased it brand new] won't touch it for ANY maintenance. If the car is over ten years old - they spit in your face and run. So, I guess ya gotta buy new every ten years? I have never been so pissed off. I've had three cars in 45 years, of which I still have two of them - all Chrysler products, and the bastards show me absolutely NO loyalty. Not sure what I'll do. But I guarantee you this! I wouldn't **** on Gwinnett Chrysler (Georgia) if they were on fire. Now what?

I wouldn't let a Chrysler dealer work on a Crossfire anyway
They don't understand the car and didn't understand them when they sold them
Find a independent German repair shop to work on your beloved Crossfire and look away from the Chrysler dealer forever

There are plenty of independent Mercedes shops in atlanta that will work on a crossfire. I never took mine to the dealership since I bought it 6 years ago. I do 90% of my own work, what I cant do Ill have a independent shop do.

What do you need done?

I,too, learned the hard way. A local Chrysler dealer would work on mine, but their work was not worth a damn and, I found out, way, way, too expensive. I found a local independent shop that specializes in European imports that worked on my XF, did excellent work, and for a much better price. Find a import shop that you can be happier with.

Dont *****, they did you a favor. I wont buy dodge/fiat /renault any more.Screw them I finally bought an Armada with nissians RADAR controlled speed control that tracks the distance to the vehicle ahead of you.

Chrysler has fallen to the bean counters and yes dealers are the WORST, god help you for recalls and the service they give you. Woody 50 years a mopar person, now nopar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I lived in Atlanta in the early 2000s I drove by this place every day: German Vehicles Services | Mercedes Benz Service | Bavarian Imports Atlanta It was always overflowing with German cars of every ilk. It says they've been there 33 years so they must do something right.

The Chrysler Corporation that built our Cars left Chrysler to die in 2001. The Corporation and Dealerships that remained may have tried but that company died in 2008/2009. The Fiat ownership hates anything Daimler/Benz and pretty much abandoned old Chrysler products and patrons. It is no wonder they don't like out cars.
Daimler/Benz usually won't work on them either.

Frankly, I'm done with both brands.
PIZZA said it best, find an independent European mechanic.

In the early/mid 1990s my wife drove a 1987 Renault GTA Convertible. 1987 was the last year of the Renault/AMC linkage. Chrysler bought AMC off Renault that year. By law the dealer had to service the Renault for 7 years and they did including the heater core recall. I swear though, the DAY that seven years was up they politely told me to kick rocks!

Come to think of it I also remember being dropped by the British Leyland dealer when my Triumph TR8 turned seven! People just don't want me around!
