Date: May 25th, 2018 12:55 PM Author: fragrant bearded bawdyhouse kitty I always hang out with my mechanic in the bay. That is super prole but whatever. Sometimes I don’t feel like DIY and I always need state inspections. At dealerships I sit and watch as the crap ones don’t do what they say they do in services and then bitch out the service writer and make them do it. I saw a tech put on a lugnut with a giant impact gun with no torque stick and flipped out and made them replace the wheel stud. I have since stopped taking advantage of free services that come with vehicles and DIY or take it to my guy. I am going to try dealer service for the free service with the new Porsche and see if they are better. I watched them work on other cars for an hour and they were good.

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:10 PM Author: fragrant bearded bawdyhouse kitty Everyone is a hack in my view (except for my savant mechanic). Dealerships won’t let you in the bays, but you can almost always watch through a window. I usually stand in the driveway and pace.
I should add, I am the only one my mechanic lets hang out in the bay. |

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:16 PM Author: fragrant bearded bawdyhouse kitty You could hang out in my office.
I am not saying hang out in the bay, I just do that because the owner of the shop and I are friends and I have known him for a dozen years and the mechanic appreciates me around (it is a general service shop so I know more about my vehicles than he does) and I help out. |

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:14 PM Author: Dark goal in life nursing home With new cars being basically computers on wheels, I feel like general mechanics might struggle with nuances, and especially with hybrids. Seems like with new cars it would be silly NOT to take it to the dealership no? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3986345&forum_id=2#36126410) |

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:17 PM Author: fragrant bearded bawdyhouse kitty Depends on what for. The “new cars are computers and on one can fix them” is mostly flame. Internet has made fixing cars way easier. Some weird electrical fault that no one on the internet has, sure, maybe take it to the dealer. Otherwise I will take a good independent mechanic.

Date: May 25th, 2018 1:13 PM Author: Lime Factory Reset Button Sweet Tailpipe My mechanic works one night a week for cash. Go there and chill with him and a bunch of other mechanics and friends. Drink beer, smoke cigs and he orders a huge ass pizza.
Bring my own oil & filter and for a $20 it's changed. Proud to be prole in this sense, opportunities for male bonding in this way are awesome. |
