I bought some Gabriel automotive bumps having a lifetime guarantee from Sears in 2000. I visited substitute the bumps because of them being worn-out and again, went into our local Sears shop to switch my used shocks for brand new utilizing the lifetime guarantee that Sears encourages. Little did I understand, that the LIFETIME guarantee with this specific item has some glitches inside it. For just one, that specific make of surprise aren't any longer maintained at my local Sears store. 2) to ensure that me to "use" the lifetime guarantee... I'd need to buy a diverse make of surprise AND spend the distinction. I suppose I'm unsure exactly what a LIFETIME guarantee is. If I'm unable to return to the initial shop, using the unique receipt. Combined with the bumps... And never have the ability to obtain a FRESH group of shocks utilizing the LIFETIME guarantee that Sears encourages. Fundamentally, they offer A RESTRICTED guarantee (if you don't are purchasing Builder)... So that as the consumer. You need to spend more! This really is yet another method to gouge the client... What-ever occurred to customer support? For instance... I bought brake parts round the same period I bought these bumps from NAPA car and that I have since changed the brake parts many times... Utilizing their LIFETIME guarantee... And that I haven't needed to spend a cent... Simply because they warranty their items and remain behind their term. If you should be likely to market/advertise a warranty on items... Then it's the Business's obligation towards the National clients, to remain behind that GUARANTEE. Normally, the "comfortable, fuzzy feeling" you receive after you have decided to buying a product having a "LIFETIME GUARANTEE"... If only a salesmans rest. Beware customer!!!
