So much for cheap oil changes

[Half Live]

The only time I take my car in is for tire rotations. Only because I don't have a tire balancing machine.

Add Brake Plus to the list as well.
Friendly staff, but below par mechanics.
I needed to put quart of oil every month on my Daewoo (which I just junked last week due to timing belt failure at a hwy36 and 120th).

Yea even if I do have a quick change done I always look at it before I leave. Also don't go to Just for brakes, I went once because I was being lazy and the asshats striped 2 out of 5 lugs on each tire on my f150. yea let me say that was a blast to drill out and replace studs and lugs.

The only time that I have ever had a problem with any maintenance on a car is when I let someone else do it. Normally I do everything from engine rebuilds to tire rotation, but the one damn time that I did not have time I took my car to Just Brakes. Turns out they really don't care and will not accept fault when a caliper mounting bolt comes out while driving, causing the rest of the caliper to shear off the steering knuckle causing all kinds of hell. I make time to do all of my own repairs now.

Since when do you need to balance tires to rotate them?

Oh man. How many bits did that take.

4 carbide bits, a 18v craftsman cordless drill and an air wrench. Nothing made it out alive, shredded the bits and killed the drill and the air wrench.

Anyone close to Pueblo should go to Solon Nissan. I get mine done there every time (and have for years now) and they've never done me wrong. Plus its nice that they check over all the indicator lights, wiper blades, top off other fluids ect. I just don't have the time or interest to deal with that crap anymore so when the wife goes shopping in Pueblo she stops by and has the car taken care of.

A friend of mine took his Subaru to Brakes Plus to have them do an overall safety check, and their lift ended up blowing a hose with his car about chest high. The safety catch kept it from falling on anyone, but it took them 4 hours to get it down with a mid-rise lift, and a few jacks...

He should have known better.

I did an engine oil about 2month ago on my Daewoo.
They said the coupon is good for inspections.
I asked them to do a check on hose, bearing, and belts.

Although they are below par at fixing stuff, they do a decent job to find some stuff to fix. Well, majority of the shops are (to increase revenue for the future).

Making a long story short, I guess they did not inspect the timing belt.

With the wheels I have, you need the stick on type weights not the clip on ones and they fall off easier.

I'm more than mildly amused at this point.

That has happened to me while under a vehicle fixing it. Not very fun. It does happen though. Not the shops fault.
