 So I took my car into the dealership to have it serviced (free). The gas gauge is about 1/8 left. They had my car for ~2 hours and low and behold when I get it back, it's down to almost nothing! WTF!?! I check the odometer and see that they've driven it about 3 miles! How the hell do they waste all that gas on 3 miles!?! And where the hell did they drive my car to anyways (their facility isn't 3 miles long)? My guess is they saw a nice car and wanted to see what it can do... morons.... GRRRR....stuff like this really sets me off. EDIT* The service was for an oil change and air filter change. That's it. So I don't know why they would need to drive me car afterwards.

ok with that being said, i would have complained... if they cleaned the throttle body or what nots, they usually eff with the throttle for about 5 min blowing smoke everywhere.... but just oil.... now thats rediculous... even if they did a complete flush, the mpg computer in the car wouldnt have been affected by the throttle being toyed with by hand... you actually have to be driving... so they drove your car and drove it hard....
ya you have reason to be mad! lol and no im not a mechanic but i spend alot of time in service so i see what all they do.... |
