Picked up my car at the dealer and I got a pleasant surprise.

So I took my car to the dealer about a week ago for belts, tie rod boots, and 2 leaky p/s hoses. It's about fricken time. They had to wait for a hose that was ordered wrong, so they had the car for a week. While my car was there, another Q that looked just like mine was in for a brake job. Turns out that the tech put the pads in my car by mistake. So I got new pads on my car for free. The thing that kind of sucks is that I just had the brakes done in May, so the tech was so stupid that he replaced pads that were practically new. This mistake would have been better if it would have been when I really needed pads. The good thing was that when I had my brakes done, it wasn't at the dealer so after a while, there was a bit of a rubbing sound when I press the brakes lightly, and that's that I had it done with OEM parts. The dealer always seems to do a better job. With all the money I've spent at the dealer, it's nice that I've gotten a freebie.

Yeah! That's really cool!!

Personally, I don't like it when they, or anyone else for that matter, wash my car. They never do it right, the don't dry the door jamb's, trunk gutters, and under hood, and there's always spots. Mr. Dealer: please leave the washing to me! I actually tell them: I just washed my car, so please don't wash it

If I was stuck with a car on my lift waiting for parts, sometimes I would fire up the heat gun and pop dents out of the plastic bumpers fo fun.

I don't understand how people can drive new cars with damage instead of getting it fixed.

Your a cool mechanic to have around, p. I guess you've figured out that the day goes by faster when you're busy.
