Re: Why I’m my own mechanic
What pi$$e$ me off is I bought a Kia with a 100,000 mile warranty on the drive train but all oil changes have to be done by a commercial shop. My response, So instead of me using a quality filter and oil you want me to use a chain which uses the cheapest products. Than I asked why can't I supply receipts for the oil and filters I purchased for this vehicle. Their response was how do we know you used them on this car. My thinking, sell it when it gets to 100,000 miles!

Re: Why I’m my own mechanic
I pulled my passenger door off to fix broken bolts. So I have some metric bolts stuffed in to part of the SAE holes. And I find they just painted the car with a rusted out lower pillar. Oh boy.... Really? They couidn't run a thread chaser? Ya, quality body shop.
