Bad business practice

tanked_darren · January 23, 2014

I thought i would share this with you guys. I use a local Mobil 1 where I live to change my cars oil. Its just too messy with the sideways filter and I live in an apartment. Anyways I had a "tech" show me "burnt" transmission oil and suggested I get a flush. Funny thing is I just did the trans oil/filter. The other funny thing is the only way to get the amount of oil I was shown is to drop the pan. I know this car inside and out. I did the transmission myself! I bet they show everyone the same cup of oil. What a bunch of clowns! Is this normal practice? Can I report this kind of practice?

Why wouldn't you call them out? I would of immediately called them out, their reaction would have been priceless.

I used to go to a little quick lube place because it was dirt cheap for a full synthetic on my cruze and last year when my buddy inspected it he noticed the drain plug was 90 percent stripped.. No more going there

I didn't even think about it. I'm so used to saying no to their other services it wasn't until the next day I thought about how they got the tranny oil. I assume they are retards at these quick lube places so my response is always no when they suggest stuff. Funny they stripped my drain plug!

The place I go to knows I am an ex tech. They are honest and dont bs me. Most my interaction is directly with the owner. I bring my own oil and a filter from a 6 cyl trailblazer and they just charge labor

I always go to the dealer when im under warranty, got good ones around here. I take them food show up early get to know them. The only problem I ever had was an over fill on oil on my trailblazer ss. I called them told them they must have use the wrong oil,my trailblazer took mobil one, they put that in by the can. They told to bring it back did a flush showed the cans and filled her up
