Just tell them you have several dozen buddies that have your back and if they need any help fixing it right, just look us up. If they don't fix it right, we will look them up.

Yep, but yet he's talked about rings & such sillyness. I should have a sit-down with him maybe.... or maybe not!!! LOL Heck, he's young and girls are plentiful and we're all mostly un-jaded and baggage-free at that age. Indulge...

Thanks guys!! I just went from being mad as hell to laughing.

I will give you one reason why they dont like me. When I went to pick it up last time it was in there I asked them to get the oil out of the valley, they never seem to do that. So they brought the truck out to me and I put the kids in and then popped the hood. Right there in the little sevice area I jumped up under the hood and basically crawled under to look in the valley. I jumped down got the kids back out and gave them back the keys. If looks could kill I think I would have been dead right then and there. I dont think they expected me to do that and then give the keys back to them to do it right.

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
Just so I know, where is the leak?

Let them give all the looks they want! You did the right thing!! Crappy/shoddy service should not be expected or accepted! There is still such a thing as quality work; just look at BTS, John Woods, ITP, DP Tuner, and many of our other fine sponsors that go above & beyond on a regular basis.

When did people stop taking pride in their work??? I changed the radiator in my Subaru weeks ago, and while I was in there, I cleaned out the mounting locations, wiped off the grime, and cleaned things up. Why? No one will ever see it, but the part slipped right in, and I knew I did things right.

I take my truck to a VW dealership now for my oil changes (I paid for a lifetime plan and they use Rotella Syn 5W40) and they take at least an hour EVERY TIME. Last time another woman was there and had been there for 1hr 20min already, for just a simple oil change!! I complained to the manager. Pretty much nothing happened. So I asked the lady to indulge me.... and we walked over right next to a new car that a couple was looking at purchasing.... and started talking about how slow the service was, that it happened every time, etc. etc. We put their dirty laundry out there and man you should have seen them jump!! Both our vehicles were done & ready to go not 10 minutes later. Oddly, they didn't give me a customer survey card that time...


Cris - don't take their crap or their low-quality work. We all work hard for and love our trucks. The least they can do is a good job. Good on ya for fighting the good fight!!

Brendan, I gotta ask..what the hell is that a picture of in your signature? Is that a bear? I've been wondering that for weeks.

Sorry, back on topic. I am easily distracted, mostly by shiny objects.

Hey I warned you long ago that I am not much of a talker on the phone or in person. Which, would surprise a lot of you on this forum because I am so chatty on here.

I'm not a big fan of the telephone, especially when I am enjoying my time off. My conversations usually consist of yes, no, a grunt here and there, and mostly to just get the point across or to make a plan with somebody. The older I get the worse it gets too.

craziness...
