Advice for having your car serviced

>>17409201

If you are taking your car to a mechanic for anything other than an engine work, you are a retard.

>>17409209
This as well, but the retards make shops money.

Should stop dealing with cars and go to large vehicles amiright

>>17409201
Hey if I ask for an oil change please don't steal the good oil I bought and then put some shitty bulk oil you got for a dollar a quart

Also if I give you a filter, use that fucking filter don't put some shitty Fram on it.

Also don't come to me and say my car with 30k miles needs a transmission fluid change because it smells like shit. Transmission fluid always smells like shit stop trying to fraud me faggot

>>17409209
look at this idiot having a meltdown

>>17409226
If you bring me the oil and filter, fine, we use it. $9.00 for the service and be on your way

I'm not at a Jiffy Lube place

Why don't you acknowledge that normies know nothing about cars and are just afraid of being ripped off? Why don't you just explain things to them and make them feel comfortable so you can raise your labor prices?

Fucking shops these days are full of jalopnik faggots who think they're hot shit

>>17409262
look at this dumbass having a meltdown

>>17409262
For arguments sake since I know nothing about computers, let's say you fix computers.

If I bring you my Best Buy-bought HP laptop and say "I think the hard drive is fucking up", and stood over your shoulder and watched, or tried to hurry you up, or argued with you about what the problem really is, what would you do?

That's who I'm talking about and who I deal with a lot

>>17409282
look at this virgin having a meltdown about cars

>>17409282

If they want to actually watch you work I understand, but I'm sure you'd feel more comfortable if I gave you a basic run down, eg the hard drive is X and it does Y and Z, so you're having these issues because it can't do A, B, C, so I'm going to fix whatever

I mean actually complaining about prices or being anal about your work is one thing from a customer but generally I think people are made wary of auto shops because they feel shut out by their lack of understanding

Just shut up and fix my shit you glorified fry cook. If you're lucky I might even let you keep the change.

>>17409331
That's exactly what I do. I explain what's wrong when things are wrong.

>>17409350

Okay cool. Sounds like you run a decent place with reasonable expectations

>i am frustrated with my job & the sheeple around me.

It's the same for everybody OP, don't be such a jerk about it and give some service while you're at it. You'll like your job more if you do.

>>17409346
You laugh but that's exactly what I want to hear. But also fuck you, you're not getting any breaks from me.

>>17409363
This isn't about the normies. It's about the faggots that
>think they know better
>want to hover around my desk
>disregard what it is I'm telling them

>>17409201
Pissed off because customer service isn't your thing? Always accommodate...don't be some pussy that cant be versatile.
Oh also when it comes down it it you may even be let go because your such trash at business you don't realize all these additional "hey look at this" "fix that too" makes the dealer money.

>>17409405
Also take yourself down a rung . You literally are just a service advisor. Stop acting like your some hot shot businessman investor who needs appointments...What brand do you even work for?

ignore the bus riders. this is good advice. I wish there were more service writers in the trade that gave a shit about their techs rather than giving their friends cheap work.

if you are one of those people that schedule an oil change then come in with a big list of shit you want checked, its not going to get checked. at least not by me. not letting somebody that can't have some forethought fuck up the entire shops schedule by having to wait for a 2 post to be open instead of using the 4 post used for oil changes. I'll just go back to work that actually pays.

t. service technician

>>17409405
>>17409425
Nope. Nowhere in there did I say that I don't do that shit. We do an inspection on every vehicle that comes in for that reason and I always talk the the customer about it before they pull the vehicle off the rack.

Try again faggot

>>17409474
Yeah whatever
Your still bitching about some shitty service gig on a image board. lmfao. Life must be great. Nobody actually gives a shit or sympathizes with you

>>17409201
Forgot to mention to bring the lug but key.

>>17409490
you're*

How do I get discounts or coupons on services? I have two cars of same brand I bring to same dealer regularly

>>17409201
What's your opinion on small gifts from the customer after a service? Six-pack of beer, bottle of booze etc.

>>17409490
I do. Customers are total cocks about 30% of the time that don't give a shit what you say and any explanation goes in one ear and out the other and chimp out at the slightest alteration of their masterfully laid plans. Even going to a "luxury" brand doesn't help, because instead of uppity niggers you get rich cokehead trophy wives in rolling luxobarns instead, and they're somehow even less lucid than the poorfags.
t. Parts department so I don't have to deal with that shit.

>>17409201

t. Bad life decisions

Fuckoff with your shitty blog faggot. No one cares that you're an idiot that wound up stuck in a shit customer service job.

Why do service advisors act like they know what they're talking about when they know fuckall? I made appointment for my Subaru to have coolant leak checked out (throttle body coolant hose) had trouble explaining to lady taking my appointment so I cut it short and left it at that until I got there to talk to advisor that I was hoping would be useful. I walk in and explain coolant leak to advisor and mention that I'm a bit worried I could possibly have bad headgasket so I ask if he can have a block test performed (check coolant for gasses). Doesn't know what I'm talking about i explain its a small plastic tube yoy sit on top of radiator with a pump to check for combustion in engine. gives smart-ass answer saying "well it looks like you know what you're talking about". I have him fix the coolant leak and never go back. What can be done if service advisor is jackass can I request to speak to mechanic or something?

>>17409201
You sound like a spastic.

>>17409201
>some low tier service advisor
>having a fucking meltdown on a chinese dog recipie board
Glad I don't work in the automotive field anymore. I realized early on it's fun to do stuff for me and my friends' cars, not for random shitstains' cars.

>>17409201
Yeah, we get it. Your job sucks. What do you want from us? A hug?

>>17409201
>aftermarket warranties
They suck for home repair too.

My third party warranty experience has been good to me so far.

>>17410287
Dies third party warranty have to be through dealer or any certified shop/mechanic?

>>17410299
Mine I have to take it to the dealer I bought it from.

>>17410310
Who is your warranty provider? Dealer?

>>17410299
>>17410310
And I should say I got my GM car at a Chevy dealership so it's not like I bought it and the warranty from a BHPH

>>17410299
Some faggot former football coach is selling them on TV.

>>17410311
Zurich is the warranty provider.

>>17410316
My stupid fucking service advisor told third party warranty my front bumper was repainted at one point so they decided not to replace my leaky radiator. Dealer was going to get paid from third party and stupid motherfucker still mentioned that, warranty covered my leaky power steering pump though (800 dollar job)

>waaaaaahhhhhhh, I work customer service and I have to deal with people who sometimes don't know as much as me

OP you don't sound like much of an "advisor" at all if you can't deal with people not knowing exactly what you need. What do you even do? Take people's cars, hand them over to the mechanics and give them back afterwards?
