Default Re: Scary Stuff If True.......

My wife and my daughter both have the same response to requests to do additional repairs: My husband/father does our mechanical work. Thank you for pointing it out, I'll bring it to his attention". There isn't a single time they have taken a vehicle into a fast-change oil place when they haven't been told that extra repairs were needed! It's not just jiffy-lube, it's all of them. I've had them BS me on many occasions, until they find out I know more about what they are saying than they do. Sadly, it's rampant, and will only get worse, because there is a critical shortage of real mechanics in the auto repair business, and very few of these "quick-change" shops do sufficient training of their employees for anything other than the most basic repairs. So, crappy/scam services, plus little chance of the mechanics actually going on to be better mechanics in the future.
