That's why being friends with a mechanic is so important.

Seems like the few times I go to get my oil changed at one of these places,the guy that looks under the hood,Is always totally convinced my car wont go another mile unless I have this,that,and everything else replaced.....Its never just an oil change.Today was no exception.The guy looks under the hood,and proceeds to tell me how my coolant didn't look good and should be replaced,ASAP.I looked at him and said ''Thats Amazing''he said ''Why".I proceeded to tell the guy that my radiator was just replaced 2 weeks ago,and asked him how coolant could turn so bad in 2 weeks?He just looked at the floor mumbled something and walked away.

Never again.

My father is/was a mechanic. I always admired his honesty when it came to other people's cars. Never once did he over charge someone or lie and say the needed something they didn't. If anything he was always trying to save someone some money. This year was the first time I ever paid to get my car serviced, harsh reality.


Try changing the oil yourself, it's very gratifying. Not to mention it's easy and only takes 10 minutes.
