Changed my oil today and....

moos500 · 07-03-2009, 11:50 AM

Well, I decided today that I would change the oil in my "S" myself. I had been going to a local kwik car, but when I got my "S" lowered he started to charge me 20 extra dollars just to put some boards down so he could fit it over the autobay lip. I decided 20 dollars extra was too much. So, today went to orielly's bought all my supplies and changed it! I really enjoy doing technical things myself, makes me feel good!

Then of course right after I had it all set to go, I pull out onto the service road, and overtook a slow moving grandma and got pulled over, 61 in a 45. Not to bad seeing as my last ticket was 81 in a 50. I told the cop that he was so sweet for writing me a ticket. anyway, went on with my drive and im calm now

$20 for boards? I'd check to see if that's company policy or is someone just lookin' for some extra weekend beer money.

Well, he is the owner of the business, and my family has been going to him for a couple of years. Maybe he was looking for some extra money, but hopefully he was honest. At least now ill just save money and do it myself!

Man I agree 20 bucks extra just for that? WTF. Thats not even worth 50cents of extra work to put some boards down.
