So I got out of work earlier and decided to take my car in to the dealership for my complimentary detail and check up. YAY ME!! Usually this takes 45-60 mins tops. Since I am so good with taking care of my baby
Well..... an two hours later then man comes back to brings up how my thingie is reading wrong and its SO DANGEROUS for me to be driving it like that.. DUDE all I wanted was a wash and yadda yadda... Plus I noticed what he talked about for weeks now.. ha! Anyhow after 30 mins of me telling him now thank you about a #$^&%#% rental, and I will drop it off another time, he talks me into it and I fold.. Gosh darn it man!!!! Why do they do this to us?!?!?!?!? |

Why do they do this to us?!?!?!?!? just went to change the oil today and it cost me 100$ .Cause they said my air filter need changed and a engine professional flush. Otherwise my car engine will blow up .So I got scared and pay for it .Is a 2007 car .Damn JiffyLube ! |

Heck, they did that to me when I just wanted a $12.50 inspection. $93.00 later...

How are you driving that car if you so called needed the professional flush now!? Ha ha. Aint that like ever 2-3 years?! I am surprised they didn't tell me I need an oil change...
Even though last time I asked them for one they pretty much talked down on me, because my little change oil icon didn't come on... oh come on already.. ha ha... what whackos?! I thought they LOVED taking my money. Ha ha ha |

thats why you get someone who knows what they are doing and wont pressure you into a sale that they are trying to make money on

The rental is pretty sweet though... I am interested in maybe getting one for me next car... Ha ha... dang them and their little ways! |
|
|
|
all that would do is kill your battery and thats if it ran for hours. Damn Dealerships will rob you rape your pocketbook and smile at ya while doing it

Ugh I guess it all my fault... man I feel stupid.. Ha.. Grr dang them people! I knew the whole time I was trying to talk me into it that I shouldn't fall for it... and I did... like an idiot..

Look at it this way Ella, your baby's little boo boo is fixed so it's not for naught..

its a sensor,,, they are not that expensive,,, and not that hard to replace,, unless its your o2 sensor,, then its not vital to your car.

They didn't even explain the ISSUE that much to me.. he is more worried that I take the rental NOW and not come back... even though the are ordering the part TOMORROW... |
|
|
|
just tell them you want the standard oil change,,, and nothing else,,, and if they dont listen,,, leave. and jiffy lube is one of the worlds worst for screwing up cars,, trust me i have seen some bad things,, like they took the drain plug out of the transmission of a blazer,, that had less than 40 thousand miles on it,,, left it out,, and about 10 miles down the road all that was left of the truck was a skeleton,, it burned to the ground. and that was for an oil change too

Ok that's a bit much but I'm sure they showed you that the tires were worn... That I give them... I had basically NO TREAD left at all.. pretty much smooth |

I was told to only go to this place because it knows my car well.. it is a foreign.. it is a different place than where I bought it.. they treated me very well.. but moved to where I am not and my usual man no longer is with them.. now I get crapped on and sucked in every time I feel..

I am glad to hear I am not the only one with car issues. Just put a starter in that cost me $313, now I need an intake gasket another $400, they say it needs a tune up here comes another $300. I am ready to drive this thing off a cliff!

find someone who knows a bit about cars,, and take them with you,,, they wont feel so good about trying to pressure someone who knows what the deal is under the hood. i had someone try to get me one time,,, til i went in and showed him the part that he was talking about and the box it had come out of about 2 weeks before

Since moving back to FL I don't know that many people who are vehicle savvy and I would trust being with me, but I totally agree with you..
