Good ole "Mr. Goodwrench" service I guess.
Dang, you dropped it off on a Sunday? I wish Illinois would eliminate some of these blue laws... car dealers aren't allowed to be open on Sunday here, it's against the law, yet taverns are allowed to open, but only in the afternoon... come to think of it, I don't think service garages are allowed to be open either on a Sunday, but not positive about that.
A few years back, a Caddy dealer decided to leave it's showroom open with just a attendant (no sales people) on a Sunday as a attempt to get around it, but the state closed that down right away.
