Spyder has to stay at dealer?

[gkamer]

The dealership has my Spyder. If I pick it up I will be responsible for
the $99 BUDS diagnostic charge. I have sent another email to BRP...

From what I've seen in the past, that's not an unusual practice. You bring your vehicle in with a problem and the dealer charges a fee ($100.00 from what I've seen, you figure out what's wrong.) If you elect to have that dealer fix the problem, that fee is included in the overall repair cost. If you decided that have the work done later, you pony up the original diagnostic fee.

Great. Part # 710008091

Thank You!

Oops! Posted wrong # Earlier.

Don't get anything yet. If I can get this, I can probably save you some cash. I should know by tomorrow.

Update:
I sent you a PM. Just let me know if I can be of help.

So I just asked my neighbor who is a shop manager for a Mazda Dealer. In OH any way the only way a shop can keep your vehicle is if you do not pay and the owner of the shop obtains a mechanic's lien. If they refuse to give it to you or did not obtain a lien then its considered stolen. Even if the car is still under repair and not safe. You have to pay for the work that has been done but they must release it to you.

Three months is too long, the weird part is that they can't provide you a definite answer.

The weird part is that this part is readily available here in the states. I hope I'm missing some facts here. But it seems to me that they are just putting this off until they think they can get to it. Maybe they are swamped with 4x4's and snowmobiles, and they just don't want to mess with a Spyder right now. I hope not. If this is true, they should just say so. The truth is so much easier to keep track of!

Hopefully, the OP can get some movement, SOON!

BRP.com shows part available for 2018 F3-L with expected delivery in under 2 weeks. No mention of backorder status on their website.

I've gotten better delivery direct from BRP, with delivery to local dealer, than I have out of CCP. And, frankly, the price was more expensive from CCP when one factors in shipping. A recent order had parts here in 3 business days vs the 2 - 3 weeks stated by CCP.

how in hell would BRP know unless dealer tells them

[BajaRon]

OP has not responded for awhile. Maybe they got it worked out.

I'm still Working (Fighting?) with Dealer and BRP over reimbursement if
I purchase the part.

How about I just have the part shipped from my dealer to your dealer? Sounds ridiculous and I'd be a bit embarrassed to even ask. You know what questions I'd get from my dealer.

Something is extremely strange about this.

I will ask.
I appreciate your help!

I will ask.
I appreciate your help!

Anything I can do to help you avoid a 3 month wait on a warranty fix when the part is readily available, I am happy to do. I feel your Pain!
