Walmart latest Auto repair rip-off servicer?

Hello everyone. As an ASE certified tech and owner of several general repair shops, I am as well aware of anyone of the stress of useless upselling. It gives my entire indutry a bad name. Sometimes, that transmission service is necessary to prevent future costly repairs and the honest shops are just looking out for your best interest. But, and I don't mean any offence, if you take your $40,000 car to a glorified grocery store for service, the outcome shouldn't be a surprise. Spend the extra few dollars for a reputable indapendent shop to do your routine maintenance, that is where you will find the greatest value and care...

I wonder if cowboys ever got that...

Guy takes his horse to the farrier...

Farrier says... "your horses shoes are worn."

Cowboy says... "That's funny... I just had them rotated and balanced a week ago."

Farrier says... "Well, I recommend having them changed before every cattle drive."

Cowboy says... "Cattle drive?! I'm not that kind of cowboy. High Ho Silver AWAY!"

Then he rides off into the sunset.
