My wife, got something in the mail from a Kia dealership, that was offering FREE 5 point look overs to a $10 oil change with filter, she went and had it done to our Buick. Sent her home with a short list of things they seen, took the car to my Step-Sons garage, on the lift, I seen 3 S-L-O-W leaks, minor ones, nothing serious, but present, and a tie-rod end needing replaced, as well as the OIL FILTER that was put on BY ME, from Fram, some time ago...... WELL $10 oil change? I don't think so! NEVER again! The 5 point "look over" what a damn joke! I know theres no way in hell they could have missed the 3 small leaks, they were more apparent then the freakin UN TOUCHED oil filter! -Not serious but, enough (if that makes sense)
I told her, never again, don't go to crap like that when you see it, its not something to do as a "gift" or treat, they do it to get people in their shops/places to make $$$$$$ NOT "Maintain" the car or maintenance it, just try to get you as a "customer" is all that is!
Yep, Free look at the car, and a $10 oil change with filter....... Promises, promises! Got my wife all fired up "Hey, thats cheap, lets do it"....... Yeah, not gonna happen again she wasn't impressed!
