Default Some laugh

Well i was feeling super lazy today and didn't feel like buying 50 dolla worth of oil and filter to do an oil change so i decided to add another 20 dolla and have one of those 10 minute drive in oil change ppl do it. When it was all over they should me what they did. I laughed when the guy said he top up my washer fluid when my trunk was never open to refill it. I laughed again when they said they checked my that my pcv valve was good. The valve is good but the threads r bad. They said i had no transfer case on my GSX and that it was front wheel drive that why. So after arguing and showing them the drive shaft and all there mech still dissagree. I have one bad outter tie rod which has grease leaking out but was told it looks perfect. Well that my little rant and entertainment, never again will i be lazy and go there.

A little less consumption of beer please, that barely passes as a coherent story.

You see, i always like to have a little chat with the boss man before i let anyone touch the car. I like to slip in a bull**** or two, like... "oh i worked on this RX7 and put in a set of forged pistons" or something like that... its just nice to know if a mechanic knows cars.
