Shop talk FAIL

[My01yuk]

Boss, i'm in the Dallas area where is this shop? I need my heated seats worked on. I think its just low on hot air, you think he can add some.

Gotta love it! I get the guys (especially at Advanced Auto) that try to explain cars to me in Fisher Price wording- always a treat!

You didn't know, the air goes in the drivers side headers, and out the passenger side...
I'm the only one that knows this?....lol

I asked him to re-fill my blinker fluid.

Hoping you went with the High Intensity blinker fluid. Just had mine flushed and refilled for only $259.95, and it performs like a dream.

I went full synthetic this time

Are you blinkers sluggish? Do they make an annoying ticking noise? Do they not flash fast enough? Here’s your solution. Little do people know, factory quality blinker fluid should be changed every 150,000 blinks. Our blinker fluid lasts ten times that. KaleCoAuto high quality synthetic blinker fluid meets the highest DOT standards while not being in the least bit DOT legal! KaleCoAuto blinker fluid provides you with thousands of hours of reliable blinking without the wear and tear on the flash-synchro’s that the other blinker fluids cause. KaleCoAuto blinker fluid will not lose its viscosity even in the most extreme situations. Why buy that old dino-blinker fluid, when you can get our unique patented synthetic formula? Satisfaction guaranteed!! For use in any car.

summer of 2005,
driving a 2005 Pontiac GTO (400hp/tq LS2)

the guy at the local track lines my front tires up in the water box...

I roll down the window to let him know it's RWD and he looks confused, rolls me forward.

then I do a "BIG" (6,000rpm) 2nd gear burnout and run a 13.2 @ 108 in a new pontiac that's still STOCK


(car is no longer stock in this pic)

1,500,000 blinks, damn KrautBurner I will keep the brand in mind.

My favorite FAIL- I take my truck in to get something worked on, and some guy comes out to the waiting area and hand me a list of things that urgently "need" to be done, ask me to sign, authorize and pay. Little does he know, I know what the hell he is saying and he's wrong- this girl knows about her ride, thank you sir! (Everything he listed was covered by my factory warranty and done at the dealer at a regular service appt...he wanted me to pay him $600!!)

I took my 00 Silverado to the dealership for the gas pedal sticking in the mornings and the guy tried to tell me that the fuel filter needed to be replaced. They also said that my aftermarket door speakers were causing the passenger side power window to roll up/down slower. After escalating the issues to management they ended up replacing the throttle body and power window regulator...
