I went to this shop off mississippe & sheridan to get a routine oil change (yes i know how to change my own oil)

well about 1 hour later i come to pick up my car and come to find out that my front ground effect is crooked , cracked , and the paint is falling off. Theres also rubber chunks all over my front fenders!

i ask the only freakin mechanic there about what happened and he tells me this "What are you talking about...ur car came in that way"

by then im so mad i cant even see straight , i leave before i do anything stupid...

it looks to me like the fucker there took my car for a fucking joy ride

WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO ABOUT THIS!?!

Set them up. Have someone with a car like yours take it in for an oil change. Tell them you'll be back in an hour to pick it up and video tape it from afar. Bust their ass.

File a complaint with the management, the BBB, etc.

Three tips:

If you have a modified car learn to change your own oil. It isn't hard.

Second, if you are going to take your car somewhere anyways, and the job is only going to take an hour, STAY there. Leaving is dumb, especially since most places have signs that say "not responsible for damage incurred in parking lot" or something similar.

Third, if you absolutely have to drop your car off and leave it unattended at a shop, WRITE DOWN THE ODOMETER reading. Take a photo, camera phones are good for this. If they put 50 miles on your car for an oil change, there is a BIG issue. Plus you'd have something resembling proof.

Currently there are two people in the world that I am comfortable with letting them work on my car. It's amazing the number of fuckups out there working on cars, people with no attention to detail and who frequently have no idea what they are doing, then want to charge me money for crappy results. Typically if I can do something myself, I will. That way at least I know that somebody who actually cares about doing a good job did the work.

damn rich people. i was refering about the bmw owner who's car is no longer covered under warranty. called the dealership to find out they charge 98 bucks for a oil change.

spent 35 bucks (7 quarts full synthetic), plus 10 for filter. but since the filter housing is actually right next to the front of the engine and is easily accessible when you open the hood, it's not that bad.

well if everyone was a big time realtor like yourself, then it wouldn't really be worth our time. but say the average joe get's paid 10 bucks an hour. parts for oil change is 15 bucks for regular oil. that's 15 bucks you save, or 1.5 hour of work.

also what was brought to the boards attention is this particular shop was charging for mobile synthetic, when they weren't even using it. changing it yourself gives you piece of mind that it was done correctly.

I think its about 10x easier with a lift, a drain pan meant for it, and a wrench is about all you need after that. I think it took me about 15 min while working on my brakes to change my oil today :)

In the GSR, I got down to 10 minutes, tops. The Civic, 15-20 minutes since the middle jackpoint is a bit offset and the car is so damn low. The STI takes me about 30 minutes since I have to undo the bolts and plastic keepers on underbody plastic cover.

Doing synthetic oil, it's well worth it than taking it in. $5 for a honda filter w/ new crush washer. $10 for a subaru filter w/ crush washer. and $20 for 5qts of Mobil 1 synthetic. The honda dealerships want around $50 for synthetic oil change.

IMO, well worth it going DIY.

Rule #1. If changing your own oil is a pain in the ass, or a hassle, you are not a car guy. Quit pretending.

Changing oil isn't really fun, but it isn't a hassle either.

How can you be a car guy(or gal) and not like to work on your car? You can't have both.

Sure there are times when you can't do it yourself, but it needs to be done, so fine, take it somewhere. And people who live in apartment complexes have little choice.


FnF sure fucked up the car enthusast world.

5-6 years ago you never would of heard anyone who claimed to be a car enthusiast say they didn't like to change oil.

Mostly I want to do it because I want to make sure it's done right, right oil, right filter, drain plug not tightened with an impact wrench, etc. I've watched oil change place guys put non-synthetic in when I asked for synthetic, and then act like it's no big deal and tell me it's okay because they didn't charge me for the synthetic. I think to get a job changing oil you have to be not quite good enough to get a job changing bake pads or doing other auto-tech work, and most of the auto technicians I've seen I wouldn't trust to change brake pads because they just might fuck it up. If I had any level of assurance that the oil change guy actually gave a shit about doing a good job, then I might let somebody else change it, but I've got way too much time, money, and blood invested in my car to let some jackass get his hands on it and top off the crankcase with tranny fluid. My wife's car, on the other hand, I don't actually care too much about, so it gets a trip to Jiffy Lube every 3000 miles and seems to be no worse off for it.

If you're worried about who will be working on your car meet the technicians that will be working on it... When im at boulder nissan getting serviced I will sit down for a while make sure they get my car in and up on the lift. and then mosey into the shop and meet the guy whos workin on my car... Every time I have done this it has always been a older more experienced tech guy working on my car and not one of the young bucks that are doing the oil changes on the sentras and altimas.... perhaps its because of the car? I dont know. but i would meet the techs.

Sadly..I'm kinda with Ashton on this one..I'd just as soon take it somewhere and not have to deal with the bullshit of trying to change it myself. I live in an apartment complex..and dont have a garage, nor a decent place to work.

On the other hand..a certain roommate of mine insists on doing it himself..our parking area is now a ecological disaster, and there have been many times where there has been a container of used oil just sitting around for weeks.

Personally, its worth the money to just go and pay someone who has the resources to do it effectively to do it for me. If anyone says I'm not a car enthusiast because I dont change my own oil...well..I'll prolly do this to them. ;NutKick;

Well, like Chris B. said, if you live in an apt complex, it's a different case.

Recycling used oil is a personal responsibility. I store mine in a container for a week or so at the most. But then again, I do have my own garage so it's not an eye sore for others.

If I used regular oil on all my cars, yes, I agree, I'd rather just take it to some place to get it changed. But because these places charge alot more for synthetic, I'd rather just do it myself to save the money.

I used to change my own oil all the time, but latlely I've decided its not worth my time. IT costs me ~20 bucks for the oil at wal-mart. and a $5-10 for a filter. Plus it takes up my time. So I decided I didnt feel like doing it anymore and just take it to the VW dealership and get it done for $29.00. I don't think this is even a matter of being a car guy or girl. Since its my daily driven car I really dont have a lot of time to deal with this kind of stuff, espcially between school, studying and work. Some people just flat out don't have time. Now if its on a car that is my "toy" then I will change my own oil and work on it, but not on my regular car.

If you are just having an oil change just hang out there, these days it rarely takes more than 30 minutes.

i don't think lambo or ferrari owners get paid 10 bucks an hour, so paying for service on their cars is the least of their problems. and when did higher end dealers such as bmw, benz, porsche, and lambo make their customers pay for any service. they are car enthusiasts, but of a whole different caliber then you and your 350z.

the average joe get's paid 10 bucks an hour.

average joe does not mean ferrari/lambo owner.

sure, you don't have to change your own oil to be a car enthusiast. but if you have the means, such as a garage, a lift, tools, knowledge and the time, what's 20 minutes to you? if you got the means, but your either too lazy to do it, or just too lazy to learn how to do it. that's my definition of a poser. have fun looking hard standing next to your car

Actually yes, you do have to drive the car to find problems because that is when the occur. You are obviously the kind of mechanic DADC always warned about, the kind that just looks at numbers and throws parts at cars until they run correctly.

Actually yes, you do have to drive the car to find problems because that is when the occur. You are obviously the kind of mechanic DADC always warned about, the kind that just looks at numbers and throws parts at cars until they run correctly. Your pictures prove that more then anything as I see the littany of bolt ons acting tantamount to actual thought.

LOL man you got no clue when you wanna get schooled let me know. Driving the car is not needed. Being a professional I know how a car opperates and have never replaced a part not needed and I know what it is before I sell the job and too this day, been nothing but correct with my information. When you wanna talk cars let me know... My car has nothing bolt on.. You know nothing of the setup.But like the rest run the mouth of something you know nothing about

I go to DADC. It seems like they talk about those kind of mechanics all the time.

i don't think lambo or ferrari owners get paid 10 bucks an hour, so paying for service on their cars is the least of their problems. and when did higher end dealers such as bmw, benz, porsche, and lambo make their customers pay for any service. they are car enthusiasts, but of a whole different caliber then you and your 350z.



average joe does not mean ferrari/lambo owner.

sure, you don't have to change your own oil to be a car enthusiast. but if you have the means, such as a garage, a lift, tools, knowledge and the time, what's 20 minutes to you? if you got the means, but your either too lazy to do it, or just too lazy to learn how to do it. that's my definition of a poser. have fun looking hard standing next to your car
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? the ONLY time they dont charge for service is when you bought a extended service plan with those things included... which means you already BOUGHT itie PAID IN FULL . After your warranty runs out go over there and find out how much it costs =)

You seriously are a total fucktard. and my Z can trump on most of BMW's lineup.

What BMW lineup are we talking about here? Anything sporty in their current lineup isn't exactly slow.

I dont think it would be possible for someone that cant form (or type) a complete sentence or paragraph to school most of us. If you are really the shop owner, I'd think you'd at least TRY and present yourself as a professional. Regardless, I'm locking this on my way out..we dont need the drama.
