    Re: Stupid Technician

    the dealership where I bought my car changed the oil for me as a first time freebie, anyways they end up trying to charge me for a new belt after one of the idiots in the back sliced my belt in too trying to take off the oil filter, wanted $94 for the new belt, needless to say I ended up getting it for free

          oh, you don't know? All the real mechanics use chainsaws to take the oil filter off...it's the mark of a highly-trained professional

              nope, you need a motorized blade whipping around in the tight space under your hood. It's the only way to do it right

                in all seriousness, i really dont understand how he told slice the belt, even if whatever he used slipped off, i dont see it hitting the belt, never mind damaging it.

                  the best explanation that can be offered from our POV is that the power of stupid knows no bounds.

                            I fkn hate Firestone too. They tried to tell me that the VIN code letter H on my '83 Trans Am stood for "High Output" when I knew it stood for my LG4 motor. I wanted to cause bodily harm on him on the spot but I remained cool and wrote to the District Mgr. They closed down a few months afterwards.

                            I have a video to share, I guess several of you have seen it but it's them shady techs at Jiffy Lube scamming a news channel station gone undercover to shed some light about what goes on to make a quick buck in this trade. It's similar as to what goes on in any so called car care specialist.

                              Was that something to really get all pissy over? I mean, a tireshop misread a letter in your VIN corresponding to a completely different component of the car...people call my Firebird a Trans Am all the time, and that's about the same amount of harm done to you, but I have yet to get all high-and-mighty and write their district manager about it.

                              It just seems in the grand scheme of things, I'd much rather have them call my car a Camaro than to mess up w/e maintenance I'm paying them to do.

                                I'm sorry but you're the last person to be telling other people not to get pissy...
