Scotty2Hotty Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 true that...plus i see so much shit fucked up by other shops its not even funny It's sad when larger shops call their work "quality". People bitch, but GOOD work costs money. You want cheap, you'll get cheap, it's that easy. When involving automobiles in general, cheap can mean down right dangerous.

Guest Removed Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'll work on that for you. Go ahead and call Hal. Ask for Sam (the owner), act like a dumbass, then tell him how I suck and blah blah blah. You'll get laughed at, then hungup on. Maybe I'll get fired, who knows who knows you might get a raise for being extra lazy that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 It is illegal to suggest repairs that are not needed. its not illegal to suggest repairs that can be forseen! i.e. when you know at a certain mileage said part will/could give out.

SHIEF Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 he should , but dumbass's are cheap labor to any business man. Haha. You get hourly plus what work you do....so.

Guest Hal Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 its not illegal to suggest repairs that can be forseen! i.e. when you know at a certain mileage said part will/could give out. Which is why I italicized 'repairs'. You seem like you mean preventative maintenance. That is normal. Suggesting that an actual repair is needed, when it's not, is illegal.

I have wives and kids man..... sure $8 a hour and 4% comision sounds good. you should JUST be sweeping that floor your rubbing pads on and getting paid like that means they want you to sell more and do stuff faster(ie lazyness) so you both make more. ill give it to you , you talk a good game. but, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIEF Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 please explain...and your example better be a good one and not suggested maintence fixxed Your really not worth sitting here typing specific examples to and I don't want you looking into shit too far...well...nm. Heard/seen stories from a few Firestone shops/Goodyear shops/GT Tire. There are a few...but I don't want to put any specific shops out there. Because you have little kids like Hal wanting to run their mouth about things said. There are bad customers, but there are also bad shops as well.

Try again. You make what work you do, and if it's slow you have a per hour amount. Which it hasn't been so You think your dumbass complaint will matter Hal? Your a nobody..to the AG and the BBB. That and your "complaint" will be put in a file and looked at when another or a few complaints and examples occur. I'll just tell my dad (yeah Sam) that's what I do sometimes with pads in that situation. And that some kid is going to call cause he got mad on the intarweb.

Guest Removed Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 There are bad customers, but there are also bad shops as well. people running there mouth..what i figured.. unless you see a invoice from said shop, dont be throwing rocks! customer get upset when a shop recommends preventative maintenance that they have not done in the 7 years they owned the car, let alone changed the oil more then once a year.

Why? You work at one of those type of shops by any chance? Or you work for yourself? I have seen some invoices that were insane. Where parts were trying to be pushed that had no reason to be at all. Most was word of mouth, which good or bad is the best means of advertisement for this type of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
