[Groesbeck Hurricane]

Wife was on the road and stopped for an oil change. "specialist" informed her the cost of the oil change was going to be higher than stated on the sign. Apparently they stated she was more than a quart low and they would have to charge for an extra two quarts of oil to make up for the missing oil. She, very loudly so all could hear, asked the guy to explain that really slowly. Then she demanded a discount off their list price AFTER verifying the car actually did have a new filter and fresh oil filled to spec.

I took my '83 Celica GTS in to have some service completed. Shop informed me I had to have a new timing belt and they had bolted her back up until I agreed. I asked them to verify they were talking to the right customer, yes your timing belt is bad, cracking, and could go at any time. I went into the shop and demanded they show me the timing belt. The mechanic informed the shop foreman that my car had a timing chain. He never missed a beat and stated he meant to say chain and that it had cracks in it. I verified they had never done any of the work, it was rather obvious though he swore they had, and drove off. Took time off from work and did the job myself. Timing chain replaced about 20K later.

I am missing the mechanic in Indiana! Very honest people and very good pricing. He was doing everything I could not such as A/C work and new tires. He did some other stuff for us that I just ran out of time for such as all bearings on the SC and fuel lines on the F250. We constantly sent him business!!! Still do! He has hired more mechanics and extended his hours. The local car dealers send him their vehicles they cannot fix themselves.
