‘It Felt Humiliating’: Man Finds Racial Slur Inside Truck After Getting Oil Change
The dealership fired a former employee and said it does not tolerate racial, hateful or discriminatory conduct after the sticker drew public criticism.
- Wichita resident Larry Martin discovered a racial slur on a service sticker in his truck after Rusty Eck Ford employees called him last week regarding the derogatory message.
- Two months ago, Martin visited Rusty Eck Ford for a standard oil change and remained unaware of the sticker until the dealership's recent admission last week.
- Kelsey Martin questioned how the dealership allowed its printing systems to distribute hate speech, while her father said he felt "humiliated" knowing he had been driving with the sticker.
- Rusty Eck Ford confirmed it terminated the employee responsible and initiated an internal investigation, though the company declined an on-camera interview with KAKE News regarding the incident.
- Leadership met with the family to listen to concerns, but Kelsey remains skeptical, stating an apology "doesn't suffice" as the company's investigation into other potentially affected customers continues.
