I have found that the easiest way to get around these dismissive feedback issues:
Ask the dealership to put their findings and recommendations on an official letterhead. Doesn't matter what your gender is - this will almost always guarantee you a proper investigation and response. Still ask for it on an official letterhead thereafter, though, even if your issue was sorted.
I've tried explaining this to my friend, however for some reason I seem more upset about it than she does, so it's her choice at the end of the day, I'm sure the impending heat wave will soon change her mind...
