My neighbor across the street has had his BMW in the shop for over a month waiting on parts. Another covid casualty. Food shortages, gas shortages on and on ......Thanks Joe. I just put gas in my truck....put $30 in and didn't get half a tank. $3.49.9.......Lets shut down another pipeline.

Took me a min to see

 

[WeedHopper]

Service writing mechanics are just like doctors, always practicing their ' professional ' practice ..

I know,, I use to be one.
Yeah my fking coolant had a bunch of trany fluid in it.

Well Maybe just maybe if you drove more like 55

 

[ROSTERMAN]

But for real that sucks, I just had to drop a shitload of cash on the AC unit again
and unit is brand new just a month out of warranty *******s.
Have to keep my Honey happy

Interesting subject. I was a minority owner/GM of a Dealership for well longer that I care to admit. So, from a management standpoint ask me a question.....Hrs/Ro, Parts to labor ratio, CSI, gross retention.....expenses.....exc. Ask and I may not change your mind but I can give you a different perspective than most see it.

Boy, did I just write a check my ass can't cash.

 

[ROSTERMAN]

I was blessed with acute mechanical aptitude, I can fix most anything vehicle related.
I have never taken a car back to a dealership, even for a recall (yep fix that myself )
Its a pain to have to deal with all the knuckle heads standing in line for oil changes tune ups etc.........
I have owned quite a few brand new vehicles too, just like to do my own repairs, and if I was not sure on how to do something I researched the heck out of it ask questions to friends who have done the job before and fix it myself.
I did have a friend help change a fuel pump on a pick up because I needed his lift and was not about to remove a truck bed by myself.

Good morning my old fart brethren. Had to go north for a few days, back now to join in the fray. I used to fix my own vehicles but now they have too many computers and such. If needed I can ask my nephew. He is a master mechanic who teaches the engineers the new electronics on the new vehicles for GM. He works for Ratheon (sp)

WELCOME BACK BRO
You won't be able to fix these new cars unless you have a few thousand dollar scan tool or tools , there are a few good home mechanic version not so expensive out there , one needs to shop around for best price.

Ok tell the truth. About half of you all tried to remove that sticky, right-right? Bubba

I was actually thinking that that sticker was all that was between me and the need for eye bleach.

I used to fix, as well as restore my own bikes, autos, planes and boats, but in my dotage lost my enthusiasm to lay on cold concrete and suffer continually cracked hands from harsh scrubbing, while my hands become more arthritic and fumble fingered.

As Yooper notes, the newer ones are run by computers, which adds another serious obstacle to overcome, so I normally currently use a retired mechanic who is more enthusiastic about extra income, than I am about painful arthritic experiences in cramped positions. Not sure what we will do if we outlive him or his enthusiasm.

The last time I had work done at a dealership was the 30000 mile service on the all electric Focus and they tried to add an oil change to my bill. They took it off when I complained, but I've never been back.

As long as they replaced the muffler bearings, you should be OK.

I quit for around 18 years. Talk about a reset? I'm forever a lightweight. Don't mind a bit. I get as goofy on a couple of tokes as most heavy hitters do with a couple of joints.

Exactly. Odd thing, in the old days you would hear: "You can't smoke a joint of this, only a couple hits." Never found that weed! Plenty you really didnt NEED any more, but that never stopped me as a young man.

Now, have plenty but no longer the tolerance of days of yore. Most cones get put out at least 2-3 times. I don't need concentrates, but bubble/hash ok here and there. 3-5 hits of OG will do me for a spell.
