Call the main office ever day after you call the lot every day. Let the Az office know the delay is not your fault.

I've had pretty good luck reaching them if I call early - say before 9AM; not so good in the afternoon.

I agree with gimpyrobb that if you want to increase your odds of getting a response to your message, call the Scottsdale home office, especially if it is getting to be a problem or if you are up against abandonment deadline.

I had a truck picked up there a couple weeks back, called main office, asked to arrange a pickup, was connected to someone at that office (main office) with a time for pick up. They worked with me on when I could pick up, even gave me a 2 day window, Weds or Thurs of the week I called.
Good luck

The MV truck stock at Fontana is over 50% DOWN from where I am "used"
to seeing it. They are understaffed and it is in FONTANA which just another
word for LOS ANGELES and that = DESERT. hot Hot HOT! Your in Pasadena,
just run out there and do the deed bro! You are only 11 minutes farther away
from them then me. If you need some help PM me, if I can I will, knowledge is
always free and available in copious amounts... ;-)

Monrovia we be

PS, they will not be calling you back nor doing ANYTHING extra for you.
Their nice folks but again, UNDERSTAFFED. Alls they want from you after
you win anything is for you to show up and get yer ship outta there w/o
issue, and be quick about it! ;-)

HE|| YES !

They do not want to talk to you! Just go bro! Its YOUR truck now!

All's you need is your drivers license.

Make sure you insure it and get to the gettin'!

(But I do not think they will make sure you have insurance the
same way they do not care if the blinkers work! It is your
truck, your responsibility!~ )

GO!

Anyone can show up at the Fontana Facility anytime.
They do not require an appointment. If it says that,
well, just another issue...

AZ/KS/MO/OK/NM/NE, varies by the day...
8 calls got me someone. They made an appointment for 5 weeks later for me to pickup. I asked about the 10 day rule and was told it only applies if I didn't call to make an appt. This has been a few months but that was my experience.

Something tells me that if you just show up they'll turn you away. Ymmv.

Show up there on Monday or Tuesday with your paid in full invoice at 9am and your Drivers license and insurance and within an hour you will be out of there... No way in **** would my truck stay there any longer than it has to. With you being from Vegas/Passadena it's only a couple of hours for you to get anyways if they give you any problems and then you can get an appointment for the next morning..

Walk in the door and take your 2nd right into, is it Shannons? Office?

Just say I am here fo rmy truck, hand her your PIFI and DL and you will be
done in nothing flat.

I think there might be some over reactions being posted, my quote above was from 3 weeks ago. Pick up the phone, call GL's Scottsdale office and make a appointment "easy peazy"
No need to speculate, either way.
