All the parking spaces are covered in oil stains and the one trash can is usually overflowing with greasy rags and discarded parts. Replacing batteries and wiper blades out in the lot is one thing, but this particular place is ridiculous.

I blew a brake line at the end of last summer , and had to pull into an Advance auto parts in a bad part of Pittsburgh to buy some brake fluid, to limp home. I was blown away by the scene that I saw there. There were at least 5 different people working on their cars right in the lot. One old black fellow, had tools and parts laying everywhere, and had drained anti-freeze all over the lot. He had the radiator out, and I am guessing he was doing a water pump on his f 150. Oil and fliuds everywhere, and the best part, was the half finished 40 sitting on his fender. I got my brake fluid, and got the hell out of there.
