supposedly you have to take off the intake manifold to get to certain plugs.

Well, $100 for the oil change with synthetic. Thats $300 left for plugs and I'm assuming wires plus labor. Sounds about right.

What they didn't tell him is they are iradium plugs and last 100k miles and probally didn't need replaced.

grimm · 04-07-2011, 03:12 PM

I guess i'm just not used to the pries of things since i service my car myself. $100 for an oil change? wow! that boggles my mind. he said the plugs were $15 each.

AutobahnRacer · 04-07-2011, 03:17 PM

Everything else was reasonably priced on the order sheet except that $140 coolant which I can get at Walmart for $6. It did say something about blue coolant but not sure.

Oakes · 04-07-2011, 03:19 PM

My oil changes are $75. Full synthetic, 4 1/2 quarts

EVERY comment you make is about butt, peen, meet or men. i'm legit getting concerned. i dont think i've ever seen you call "no home" either...

Get smart properly next time.

Snoozie · 04-07-2011, 03:48 PM

ACTUALLY. She is smart. It's def "no home".

fitftw · 04-07-2011, 03:55 PM

mechanics make a killing on idiots who don't care enough to research how easy it is to do simple tune-ups on their own cars. I don't want to hear that bull**** "some people don't have time" excuse. Nobody is that busy that they can't find an hour out of any given day to do an oil change and change spark plugs/wires.

Reese · 04-07-2011, 03:56 PM

NO home FTW

LOL.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Run a business and find time to do mundane **** like that. K thanks.

Oakes · 04-07-2011, 03:57 PM

Oh and it's definitely "No home"

If you argue otherwise, I have full grounds to kill you.

angdefeo · 04-07-2011, 03:58 PM

time to go home and ...... well i dont know. but i am going home.

fitftw · 04-07-2011, 03:58 PM

lol @ run a business and not have time when you go home every day. I am sick of hearing that bull****. Yeah, you're SOOOOOOOO busy. Right. You're the ignorant one. Why don't you just admit you're too ****ing tired and/or lazy when you get home? Or maybe you don't give a **** about your car and want to whore it out to mechanics who don't give a **** about her? Just be ****ing honest and stop making excuses.

grimm · 04-07-2011, 04:01 PM

finding time is rough... especially when you own and run your own business. and yes I'm sure when he is done work he is too tired to want to do an oil change, and I'm sure he has enough cash not to care that he has to pay for it.
