This is the only problem that I have found in the 3 1/2 years I have owned this car. Only complaint period.

maybe you should lose some weight.

Have I said how much I hate getting work done at dealers?

And at the rate they're changing things, I'll be working on this all summer.
Now I'm starting to feel bad because it seems like I'm getting all of Pete's money.

whats your feeling on the Minor & major Maintenance schedules Honda proposes to owners?

Minor every 12k-15k Miles & major every 24k-30k miles

My civic is due for a minor but they always find something else wrong

I guess it depends on what is included in the services.

so Pete had a fun time at the dealer today......apparently.

Remember, flat rate times are flat rate times. They are industry set, and most places wont budge on them. If the multiple repairs you had done were related to one another, you may have recieved a deal, but they weren't. As a flat rate tech myself, I wouldn't give you my estimate and wouldn't budge on my quote. If it takes me 3 hours to do a 7 hour estimate, I get paid 7 hours. If it takes me 10 hours to do it, I get paid 7 hours.

I you told them before they did the repair to cram it, the advisor probably would have worked out a deal on the labor, and also possibly a discount on the parts.

I will say, because you arent' a returning customer, you will get as minimal help as they will possibly give you. Remember, they are still a business and are there to make money.

And the poor guy working on your car isn't getting hardly any of that 130 per hour labor rate. Dealerships get the customer and the technician both in the ass.

I cooked a Digiorno pizza last night with everything. It was pretty amazing.

Digornos are the best

Pete Nice Wrote:Best pizza? I make it at home.

Instead of sauce, use Franks Red Hot. Then sprinkle taco meat seasoning powder on it. The place hot banana peppers on it. Then use seasoned shredded mexican taco cheese for the cheese. Then sprinkle more taco meat seasoning powder on top and bake it.

Delicious. It won my New Years Eve pizza making contest this year.

That's a spicy pizza!
