speedgato Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Holy crap! Someone must have put a secret microphone in my shop!! I have never been to the point of cussing a guy out but I have to admit It's been damn close! Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 :rofl: That's great! That happens every so often at NAPA too. Pretty much the same thing, but they've bought lots of expensive parts first then claim none of them worked and their car is still broken. Really? :D But I'm trying to positive for the rest of the Christmas season so I shan't elaborate. Quote Link to comment

FoxyRoadster Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 computers have alternators? No, but plenty of jackasses try to act like they can fix them but cant. They get used parts and they fuck up and want me to fix the broken part thats 100 years old and needs replaced. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I find that video very funny, but sometimes the customer is correct in the diagnoses. I always do research in everything I have problems in, computers, cars, anything problem prone. I dont want to be charged a diagnoses fee for something I already KNOW. I will gladly pay it though if the mechanic eats the price if I decide to do work with said mechanic. I am one of those people who have written all necessary codes and serial numbers down so when you ask me a question I can answer quickly. I dont want to waste your time, now dont waste mine. But yes idiots exist, and usually the mechanic does know best. Quote Link to comment
