wow, who opened the gates to the nuthouse... what a week...

The entertainment that comes in the shop lately has been amazing.

We get a call from a woman demanding the keys to her car. After 10 minutes of trying to figure out who she is and if we have her car, we find out that she bought a pop with a contest on it. She firmly believes that because she bought a pop, she gets a car. After another hour of discussion, we give up with her threatening to come to the shop with the cops. We told her, go ahead. She does. She shows up with her bottle to claim her car. After another hour of fighting with the sales department, she finally storms out after the manager threatens to have her arrested. I feel sorry for the next person she gets. She was heading to the soda company next with her lawyer...

Next guy makes an appt and shows up saying he was just in and we ordered parts for his car. Head to parts dept, no parts. Do a little digging...guy hasn't been in sense 2006! Now he is pissed because he is out of warranty and refuses to pay to get his car fixed. His excuse for waiting almost 3 years? He's been busy...wtf? This was another hour long bitchfest ending with "i'm gonna sue, blah, blah" ugh...

The awesomeness of quick lube places never stops. Neither do the people that go there. If you take you car somewhere for work and it leaves a puddle under it immediately after, take it back there. Don't bring it to me then bitch when i want to charge you to fix it right. Loose drain plugs, wrong filters, torn gaskets and my personal favorite...draining the wrong fluid. We've had 3 of those this week alone. Drain the trans, add 5 qts of oil to a full crankcase and run 'em out the door. Then when the car dies 3 blocks away, tow it to the dealer and scream about our crappy warranty. Sweeeet....

Ok /rant. Needs to stop raining so i can ride and quit being so grumpy. That or i need to clock one of these morons that wanders into the shop....
