I just got the following letter in the mail, telling me that my Vette is due for service (alignment and fuel system service). Seems normal enough, right:
Now here's the problems:
- I have never brought my car for service to this dealer. When I called them they said I had been there for “minor trim work” but had no idea about any of the details of the vehicle or the work.
- The address (“113 Lost Channel”) is not a postal address, and I never give it out. It is in use in one place only, and that's on my driver's license, which I got in the mail yesterday.
- I didn't put that address on my license until after moving out here, so obviously I'm not about to bring the Vette to a dealer in North York or wherever 3180 Dufferin is.
- A general service place is about the last place that's going to deal with the drivetrain on the Vette.
So… I can think of only one explanation, and that's that either the Ministry of Transport (ie. the government) or Lloyd's Of London (ie. my insurance company) either sells lists of people's cars along with their addresses, or somehow it is available to dealers. I'm definitely not thrilled about that.
