Subject: Re: Tuesday Chat 11.25.08 by TommyT-Bone on 2008/11/25 20:48:44 Got my $19.99 synthethic blend oil change coupon and went to Firestone to get an oil change and get a screw taken out of one of my Bridgestone tires. Lifetime rotation / balance /alignment etc. Of course, the service advisor informed me it was time for a fuel filter, injector cleaning, air filter and transmission flush. Thanks, but the only screw we're going to see here is the one they pulled from the tire. Went to discount auto to get the air filter. They had fram catalogues but no filters and purolator filters with no look up guide. Counter help was busy so I picked up the air filter from the dealer on the way home. Seemed expensive. When I got my receipt I realized they charged me full retail. Guess I have to start putting everything on the company if I want the discount. Chevy dealer must have told the parts guys to whack them for retail unless they're on account. Heads up. It was only a few bucks differance. If it had been a lot I would returned it and started over. I brought the 91 to the shop today so they could do the tongue test on the coil. They should be safe because I ain't gettin no riggin friggin spark. |
