It's a very good possibility that if you bring it to their attention to be corrected, they'll simply straighten it and not replace it.

In all honesty, DIY is pretty much the only way one can't point fingers at anybody else. Notice I didn't say the only way to do it right. I've had to correct a bunch of DIY attempts in the past too. But there's a slew of people out there who simply cannot do DIY oil changes for various reasons...

And I'll throw this out there to whoever thinks the dealership or tire shop is a better place for "service" with 2 examples. #1, mother-in-law had tires put on her car recently at one of the most well known and reputable tire places here. They sent her with a list of things they recommended...

Thanks for clarifying that you have next to zero credibility with knowing much about the industry. A more factual statement is that because the FEW truly bad lube shops get such widespread publicity....they ALL are considered a place to be avoided. That simply is not true. Yeah, I was in the...

I don't need to know the "full situation". In your prior comment you specifically said he was the manager. I was in the business long enough to know what I'm talking about and I stand behind my comment. Another statement you made that HE told you to stay away from quick lubes just because the...

Another Echo SRM-225 owner here. Had it for 8 1/2 years now and it's been absolutely flawless. Always starts within 3 pulls of the cord. Loading it with new string is also a fairly painless task. I run "90-rec" gas in it. I was so impressed with the service I've gotten out of it, that I bought...

Sorry...but it sounds like your good friend is incompetent and doesn't need to be managing a lube shop. First of all, nearly all "stripped" oil pans aren't stripped. 99.99999% of every oil pan I ever saw could easily be repaired with a thread chaser. The threads are still there, they've just...

Yes. A lot of fuel tankers (like what I drive) are considered common carriers. We haul different brands depending on the customer. If the store has a specific brand advertised on the canopy, fuel pumps or marquee sign...that's what you're getting. If NO signage (independent owned station)...then...

I worked in and managed "quick lube" shops for roughly 12 years. My very 1st job...ever...was at a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealership. I saw way more shady activities at the dealership than I did in the entire time I spent in the quick lube industry. For instance, my position at the dealership was a...

First and foremost...don't ever put a tag on a vehicle that belongs to another vehicle. This is seen as intent to conceal the identity of a vehicle. Police can impound the vehicle if your story isn't believable.

Previous mower was a Murray lawn tractor with a 21hp Briggs & Stratton and 46" deck got Supertech 10w30 changed once a year cutting a 2 acre yard. Had it for 13 problem free years until I sold it and upgraded to a mower with a bigger deck. Next...and current mower is a Husqvarna 54" zero turn...

The world could use a lot more Charlie Prides. He was a class act...professionally and personally. Those close to him say he was extremely humble, generous and pleasant to be around.

Not the one he's asking about...

It absorbs it every time these guys take the cap off the MC reservoir to look in it. I never have...and never had issues with my vehicles' brakes.

I know the difference. I guess I'm confused about why you're concerned about voltage and or amperage output on a true automatic charger that is guaranteed to not overcharge the battery.

It is merely a diagnostic tool. It won't program/change the vehicle's ECU parameters.

Mine shows how many volts it's producing (sending to the battery) in real time. Is that not what you're asking? It varies throughout the charging cycle. It will even detect a sulfated battery and kick over to a pulse charge until the battery gets enough juice back in it to accept a continuous...
