The chances that the car company would give you any financial compensation for loss of use are extremely low.

I've had recalls on cars in the past and didn't receive any compensation, or even a loaner car for the day. I had to drop the car off at the dealership on my own time and at my own expense, received a ride on the dealership's courtesy shuttle to work, then a ride back to the dealership when the car was ready.


Do you really think that if your truck was off the road for a month, the car company would say, "sorry for the inconvenience, we have credited your account with $1002.50 for your troubles, and you can either take that as cash now, or keep it in your account to take off a future payment"?


If the Flames treated this like a car company would treat a recall, the offer would have been to replace our tickets for every cancelled Flames game with a ticket for a Hitmen game, and we would keep paying full price for our Flames tickets.

your right my analogy was not very good. Here is a better one. Give me $1000/month and in return I will give you nothing....
