my buddy at work has one. one time we both ended up in the bathroom doing work poops at the same time... people would come in (busy floor) and he'd hit the app a bunch and then make grunting noises to go with it all loud like, "OHHH GOD! OHHH GOD!" "UGGGHHHH!!!" i was crying in the stall from laughing. god bless corporate america and the paid work poop. its a glorious thing.
Changing oil isn’t cost or time effective for me. Plus I hate wrenching of any sort on cars. Motorcycles and bicycles I enjoy working on myself.
If ya ain't willing to do it yerself, you're surrendering your rights to bitch about the inconvenience of getting someone else to do it.
I ride both road and track. I'm not like Dave f@cking K... And my experience over the years I have been riding has demonstrated quite clearly that, contrary to popular motorcyclist belief, most girls don't give a shit if you ride. *runs for cover*
So driving some place, telling a grease monkey what you need, waiting for your car to go in, waiting for it to be serviced (and hoping they dont use the sludge at the bottom of the barrel), processing payment, getting in the car, and driving home is more time effective than loosening a drain plug, taking a filter off, putting a filter on, replacing drain plug, filling with oil? You must be the 1% I hear people talk about
At Akins heck yeah, they have a great waiting area with workstations so I can work remotely in comfort while they mess with the vehicle. Best part is they service my diesel van cheaper than I can buy just the oil.
More like dropping my vehicle off, hopping in the loaner and returning later in the day if I feel like it after they say it’s ready, or and much more likely returning to pick mine back up the following day with it’s fresh fluids plus a full detail inside and out. Last thing I have time for is menial tasks on a daily driver.
you know Lexus will deliver the loaner to you at your house or job. bush league over here going into a dealership, who wants to do that?
You left off removing and replacing the stupid plastic aero panels they are putting underneath many vehicles these days to get that extra 0.5 mpg. You also left off dragging your laptop out to the car, hooking it up to the ODBII Port, going through the menus to reset the service interval indicator. Let's not forget changing out the air filter, cabin air filter, checking the tire pressure, checking the brake pads for wear, filling the washer fluid, etc.
So menial that you refuse to do it, eh? Some shit you guys love to justify. The best thing about guys like you is when they fuck something up there is plenty of time to cover it up and you're none the wiser. That loner car shit goes in favor of both parties.
Yeah, maybe I should get one a them sweet Doocatees so the ladies finally start to notice me ? I would be the most badassed 43 y.o. daddy at the local Tim Hortons
Yes. I used to run away from dealerships to perform stuff that was not under warranty. Since I have the Lexus, I let them do most stuff except oil changes because they charge twice what Costco costs me. My local dealership is very effective, know their cars well and have some very good mechanics, they lend me some brand very nice brand new cars and wash my car inside and out. Definitely worth it for me.
