I had a ...Thanks for the up-lifting remarks girls. I had a wrench in my little hand when I was 3 years old, following Daddy around the shop. I have the knowledge of my father and the tenacity of my mother. <br />I had a 71 Ford truck with an automatic tranny in it. When it got to around 60K miles, I had the oil changed. The next evening there was a puddle under it. Called Dad, he said, "They've over-filled it and blew the seal." I took it back to the garage and told them, "I found a puddle of oil under my truck and........" "Well, now, how do you know its oil little lady?"(GRRRRRRRR) To which I replied.."BECAUSE ITS GOT A BIG T IN THE MIDDLE OF IT! YOUR GUY OVER-FILLED IT AND BLEW THE SEAL, I WANT IT FIXED!!!!!!!!" They did. I never went back. The garage I go to now was on thin ice anyhow. Last Oct I had it inspected. I hit a pot hole the next week and the truck started shimmying. Took it back and they had the audacity to tell me that the pot hole knocked the wheel loose! I told them, "Do not insult my intelligence, I was born in the morning but not this morning. The only reason the pot hole knocked it loose was because Paul didn't torque the lug nuts. How damn dumb do you boys think I am?" I usually have these conversations in the waiting room so everyone can hear them.SHARONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408136143188209922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133818088253582089.post-54826286122331246372010-02-08T20:22:02.200-05:002010-02-08T20:22:02.200-05:00Good for you, girl!

I spent 6 years as an auto adjustor and a good many more years as a gopher while my son rebuilt one engine or another ...I know a thing or two and the fastest way for a shop to lose MY business is to tell me something STUPID thinking I won't know any better. I had the local Ford dealership try to tell me I need two new batteries for my diesel a couple of years ago. The two batteries that were in it were three months old. I had another vehicle in town with me when they called, so I went by, loaded up my supposed dead batteries and took them back to where I bought them to have them tested. They were at peak power. I went back to the dealership and was told "well, they both had dead cells yesterday but they sat on the cold concrete overnight and that must have recharged them." OMG, I said, "Do you really think I'm THAT ignorant about batteries???" Needless to say, the dealership gets to see my vehicle if theirs a recall ...but no other reason. They'll never see a dime from me again.HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133818088253582089.post-30400207756818396692010-02-08T18:25:29.896-05:002010-02-08T18:25:29.896-05:00God I love it when the smart asses get egg on thei...God I love it when the smart asses get egg on their face!!!
