As some of you know, I work as a service advisor at a car dealership. With this position I get to see some crazy things, recently with fuel prices getting higher, people come up with some interesting ideas. Everyone knows the trick of pumping up your tires a few pounds, how ever somepeople take this to an extreme. I have had people in here with their civic with 65+ psi. You try to tell them the damage that it causes and all try can see is that it may save them a buck at the fuel pump. Well today I heard a new one. A guy comes in for an oil change and says he ONLY wants four quarts of oil. Is vehicle requires 5.5 quarts. I tell him that the vehicle requires 5.5 and he declines and says he wants four in there as it is less restrictive and gets better milage. I guess that buck he may save will go towards replacing the engine.
What are some stories you see or hear?
