Now I know why they won't let you in the bay to watch them do the work. Because they're full of shit.

I wonder if I can find the book time for changing those filters. I'm betting it's probably only .1-.2 hours.
2 tenths at 90 an hour is 18 bucks. so even if it was .2 each filter that's still only 36 dollars.
People always try to screw me out of money when they work on my car. Fuckers.
Actually it does. When I worked at a dealership service center years ago, the minimum shop charge was for 1 hour. Good job on replacing the filters DGX!
I down tools if some fucker watches me work:hand:
we only have minimum charge for diagnostic work.... all the other stuff gets charged book time except bulbs, windscreen wipers and other stuff that takes seconds to fit. They get done FOC providing they buy the parts from us. Well, they did until I spent 40 mins changing a xenon headlight bulb.... now they ask if the car has HID bulbs before telling the customer its free fitting :lol:
Toothpaste to clean your headlight lenses?
:-s

haha! yeah, I'd really try that on a plastic headlight :roll:
nah, it was a mazda 6.... I was determined to get the bulb out without removing anything, but in the end, I gave up and had to take the bumper and headlights off
didn't theyu say the best wat to clean up a CD was to use toothpaste.... I tried that and ended up with an ass load of scratches on it :lol: You sure they were plastic lenses? cos I've seen quite a few lamps that have been cleaned using abraisive stuff and they ended up being all opaque and shit. Anyway, I wouldn't use it 8-)
toothpaste works :thumbsup: its all about what you're doing the rubbing with. nothing very abrasive, that's for sure.
if you get your brakes done you very rarely need new rotors. but, if you've worn the pads down kinda low, feel along the rotor and if there's grooves, take the rotors and have them turned on a lathe before putting the pads on. it will increase the lifetime of the pad significantly, create way less brake dust, and way less likely to squeak. if you take your rig to a place to have them do the brakes make sure you have them turn the rotors.
I wouldnt go with a k&n air filter unless you could feel air restriction when the pedal's on the floor...but that's a subtle thing, tough to really tell. my buddy's mustang - k&n cylinder hanging inside the fender, found a special routing kit that really gets it out of the way of the supercharger :thumbsup: and moves intake to a colder place...although, watch out when its wet :lol:
today it took me about 30 minutes to change a cabin air filter.... 30 fuckin minutes
the 30 minute job I just mentioned was ion a renault.... I had to take the clutch pedal out to change a fuckin cabin filter.... fuckin french fucks
I'm actually looking around for estimates on the brake pad replacement that I never took care of 2 years ago. I emailed a few places and I'm waiting for a reply.
The brakes still aren't screeching, but when I had my tires replaced two months ago, I got a good look at them, and they did look worn down. Close to the metal. I suppose I should go ahead and take care of the filters again as well. It's been two years. 8-[
