Ouch man. glad you can laugh about it. hope you get free oilchanges, and alignments for life

 

Lol... wow... so tell the rest of the story. Where did ya hide the kids body.. etc. Haha, I wanna hear what the mangager said. I mean wtf do you say to that. I'd a been furious. Shoot, I was pissed today when the shop took my truck for inspection today and call em up at 3:30 when I got done work. They said the guy didnt come in who does emissions till 3:00 for some odd reason today... and to top it off, they still didnt have it done for tonight. They dicked around until quarter of5 before starting to work on it. I know this because I get a call... "yea.. usually for inspection we need theregistration. Im like... wtf, how bout you take a second and look. Its sitting right in the friggin cup holder.

 

Sounds to me they may have been doing more then an inspection. You have to be careful with shops in general. They'll steal stuff, lie to you, rack up labor time, sometimes not even do the workit was in for in the first place and still charge. I use to live in Philadelphia and there was a report on the news of shops double dipping on credit cards. My sister was in insurance claims years back and she got countless claims on shops doing oil changes but not putting oil back in. My bestfriends mom took her Bronco in for new tires and left with a wheel that had no lug nuts on it. Got a block away and the wheel flew off. There's still a pot hole in the road from it. Such careless mistakes if you ask me. No one will ever take your truck as seriously as you do. That's why I do my own work. Just consider yourself lucky there wasn't something like a air compressor or something that could of blown. Still those are some funny pictures.

 

haha damn pro. what did they say to you? is a new ranch hand in your future?
