What does a Mechanic Say?

Did you hear about the blonde mechanic. When asked if the blinker was working she replied, "Yes...no...yes...no...yes...no."
 
"You are not paying for how long it takes me to fix it, you ARE paying for how long I've been doing this"
The flat rate guide says 4.5 hrs. I can do it in 1.5 but you still pay the 4.5 so you can be on your way quicker.
I always have to train new service writers not to tell the customer how many hours it pays just tell them how much it will cost.

"You are not paying for how long it takes me to fix it, you ARE paying for how long I've been doing this"
More to the point: "you aren't paying me for how long it takes me to do it; you're paying me for how much time and training and experience I've taken to learn how to do it RIGHT."
 
Moral of the story?

If you're a customer....don't piss off your service advisor.

Cheddar cheese on cabin/pollen filters is another one.

It's like I tell my bands (I'm a sound engineer) - "don't piss off the sound guy...I have a "suck" knob, and I'm not afraid to use it!"
I know a guy who hid a raw herring in his bosses 4WD Toyota the day before he set off on a 2-week road trip with his family.....in the middle of summer. :lol:
