This afternoon my car hit the 9000k mile mark which mean't time for an oil change. Me and my dad decided we should take it to weymouth toyota because it is close to where I work. So I get there and everything is fine, same old stuff. So about 20 minutes in I see this mechanic walk out. This is not what you would picture a mechanic to look like. Some gangster wannabe highschool drop out white kid comes out with his pants drooping and bringing some papers to the manager. Then I thought to myself, "these are the guys that are handling my car?!" So I decided to go down to the shop to make sure my baby was safe. The way the service dept. was arrange, the entrance was around the back and in order to get around you had to go down this incline which has a puddle of water at the bottom. Well I go around and as I begin going down the incline I see my car coming around the corner. At this point I felt a huge sense of relief knowing my car is back. The suddenly I hear the HKS scream. The douche driving it revved and the engine twice and popped the clutch at im guessing around 4k. He continued to gas it with the wheels screaming right pass me. He finally lets out when I yell out "WTF are you doing with my car?!?!" He looks over then says, "Oh ____, my bad yo!" So had this might I flip out and tell him to give me back the keys. Then he continues to threaten me so I say something back to him. Now were in the waitingroom and I'm speaking with the manager. The d*ckhead mechanic then gives some bull____ about it being wet and being on an incline. The manager repeatedly tells me, "thats not the way we drive our customers cars." At this point I really wanted to continue arguing but I have to get back to work. So I just threw the reciept for the oilchange back over the counter and storm out of there. The things that are bugging me most right now is what the hell could they have been doing to mycar while it was out of site inside the shop.

They feed a bunch of pigeons at a car dealership. Next morning $hit all over all the cars. Might have been a Benz dealer. Part of Project Mayhem.

 

Good idea, should give that a try sometime.

 

This is why I don't bring my car to a dealership to have the oil changed. Luckily my dad did the mortgage for an auto shop owner's house, so the guy lets me use the shop after hours when i need to do stuff. I change my own oil, do my own tire rotations, etc etc. I know you more than likely don't have access to a shop like I do, but go out and get a set of jackstands and change your own oil. It costs less and there's no worry about your car's safety :D

 

I usually do it myself but this was the last of the three free oilchanges for my car so my chinese instincts told me to get the free one.

 

Plus they cant argue with you on the warranty.

 

haha, i hear you. def not just the chinese. lol.
