I'm not a chauvinist, but in my experience, when a female is wrong, calling them out usually ends you up in more hot water than just ignoring them. I mean, it's bad enough you can't call out the male techs for not knowing what they're talking about. Some of them go on like there's some black...

Until word gets out, customers take their cars elsewhere, and they have too many techs that they need to lay off. When you have to preface your comment with "I'm not a ...", sorry, you're a ... :ROFLMAO:

Just when I thought everyone on here drove Hyundai's. So which dealership? From my 2000 Odyssey experience, I can say that Ideal Honda (401/Dixie) completely let me down considering I bought it new there and also serviced it mostly there during warranty. Within the first 3 years, I brought it...

I've used foil also, but half the time you pull it off after the job and still end up with oil dripping off the foil onto whatever you were draping it over to protect in the first place when you drag it off. And then on something else while your attention gets diverted asking yourself why you...

Oh man, this thread and the one about the overtightened drain bolt have my blood boiling. Why can't any dealership just do an honest job??? Daughter bought a brand new 2019 Jetta. Trying to keep them happy in case she needed warranty work, I asked around on the VW forums and Yorkdale came...

That bolt is part of a screen assembly, so you can't just replace it with a valve. That said, I had a couple of Fumoto's when there were no other options. I didn't like how stiff the lever could get when road grime caked it up, plus having to use the separate locking spring to ensure it didn't...

I got a similar set from Princess Auto and was only able to remove one wheel lock nut from my friend's car when he lost the key. The teeth got dull after the first use and became ineffective. Don't know if it was from the chrome lock nut or cheap steel, but the design works.

Exactly how it should be - just like the filter (that's actually under pressure). Who ever thought it was a good idea to seal a liquid drain with a crush washer instead of an o-ring?

LOL, the one KTM bolt that doesn't have both a hex head and Torx socket. In all seriousness, I feel for you. Had something similar happen to me when I changed the oil on my 990 to find the filter bolts overtightened and/or cross threaded and snapped the head off when removing. Luckily a reverse...

There were some dealerships that weren't jacking up the price, but they were few and far between. I haven't found a car I like enough to pay over list. The Honda dealer downtown on Richmond and Sherbourne ****** me off when I went to buy an S2000 and told me they wanted $50k even though the list...

That's also assuming they held stocks which didn't go bankrupt or get delisted. No amount of waiting is going to help those.

Looks like not adjusted. Adjusted would be another 5 years in June 1959: https://www.macrotrends.net/1319/dow-jones-100-year-historical-chart

Damn, was thinking T6.

I remember back in the old days :rolleyes: when the base price of the C8 Corvette was only $68k CAD. Now they start at $91k.
