AND THE PULLET SURPRISE GOES TO.....

OK, maybe it doesn't warrant a Pulitzer, but this blog sincerely appreciates local ABC affiliate WCTI-TV 12's efforts to investigate Quality Auto Tune Up, the dishonest car dealership and repair shop that bilked this blog out of $700 it did not have. Channel 12 reporter Stephanie Maxwell interviewed this blog today and began taping a consumer advocacy piece in which Maxwell will confront Quality owner Pheap K. Phang, who refuses to honor his own posted 90-day warranty for services performed on this blog's car.

Channel 9 ignored this blog's repeated requests for a consumer investigation, so this blog hopes that Channel 9 will get crushed like a wayward armadillo on a country road when it comes to ratings, and that Channel 12 will continue to win broadcast journalism awards as if they were more common than magazine subscription cards. This blog will let its readers know when the piece airs and whether it will be available online.
