Looks good. Run it.

>being a rich fag

There's more pad on the left side

YOU MECHANICS ARE JUST TRYING TO RIP ME OFF

Jesus, my pads weren't that bad after 147k miles of use.

I fucking hate those types of customers. I don't mind someone asking why they need it etc but the ones that instantly accuse you are the worst.
Wtf do you drive, something with regen braking?

I mean... The car still breaks right?

I did this ONCE as a kid. never again, not worth the headache.

/thread

Did what?

This!
>dude comes in thursday telling me he wants his drivers side axle replaced. Tells me it is making noise.
>Test drive it around the block first. Horrible grinding noise in front end.
>Take apart and the axle appears fine. Free spin rotor/hub and can hear the bearing growling
>Call customer and explain the bearing appears to be the problem.
>Immediately rips into me. "You're just looking to rip me off..blahblahblahblah"
>change axle, put back together, test drive, same noise.
>douche picks up, pays, leaves, comes back 10 min later super pissed I didnt fix the problem.
>Calmly tell him what the problem is as I explained earlier on the phone and that I am no longer interested in doing business with him

I love being self employed

Veeky Forums isn't your fucking blog

Sorry. Is there a way to delete it?

>Providing an interesting relevant story and more content is considered "blogging"

I'd rather read his experience, than read your shitposting

kys newfag
>waaaaah!!!
People like him are annoying attention whores who always like to make it about them. Nobody cares about him and his fucking made up stories.

You care enough to make multiple posts bitching about it faggot. Go be a triggered pussy somewhere else.

>Not refuting my point, nor providing a good reason why hes so assmad about someone trying to make the thread more interesting

I guess you came to this thread specifically to complain about him, rather than add anything worth while to read. Regardless you can shitpost as much as you like, this discussion ends here for me.

t. summerfag

Enjoy having your board get worse by the day.
>my point
You don't have a "point", you fucking idiot.

>Why change my own oil when i can do it for 20 dollars at the shop

THIS

>crying about an automotive post on Veeky Forums
>calling anyone else a summerfag
People like you shitposting make it worse dumbass nigger.

I did this on my first car, ended up destroying my calipers. Never told my dad, just drove around with fucked up pads and calipers. He asked to borrow my car to run to the store once, realized what was up, came home and beat the shit out of me.

>Being so dense he doesn't realize the "point" was that his response didn't add anything to the conversation

I thought this site was for 18+ not edgy teens with anger issues. Kill yourself.

You're the only one shitposting you fucking idiot.
I thought one of you were leaving. What's wrong? Did I hit a nerve?

>crying about posts multiple times
>calling people retards because you're triggered
>not shitposting
Go be a nocar nigger somewhere else

20 dollars is so fucking cheap to be honest if they got the good oil that's right
i usually pay 40 for 5 liters of 5w40

>projecting this hard
Nobody is mad except for you.

I'm mad too

>still bootytickled about a mechanic story on Veeky Forums
>y-youre just mad!
What's wrong, your prepaid phone crash and you lose your reaction images?

Go back to /b/ nocar

You. Are. My. Hero.
Thank you.
No really... thank you for being you... these fucking ppl make me so mad...

Have you seen the price of decent oil?

>projecting

>buzzwords to hide the fact you have no car
Fuck off fat weeb

Please die.
Go back into ur mom's basement, get ur dragon dildo out and in ur loose asshole while you are clearly using to spew bullshit. And just die. U horrid scum

>makes claims without evidence
k
You have issues, dude.

>offended about car stories
>reverts to mentality of 12 year old
Sure, you have a car, let's see it.

Show us yours Mr. Bus

>has no evidence
The burden of proof is on you, bud.

My only issue is an edgy pre-teen shit posting from his mom's basement while I'm reading about a cool guy fucking a retarded customer over.
So. Tldr. Go back to Tumblr. Them fags miss you

t. summerfag

>assmad niggers unite

>muh dindu logic

>doesn't know how arguments work
>gets pissed when i remind him he has no evidence

Lol stfu I like these stories.

I vote more fucking stories. Let's go

>shitposts daily
>never found in actual car threads
>y-you don't have evidence
Oh you got more minutes to post from your phone huh? Refusing to refute anyone and only being able to call them a summerfag is evidence enough.

>$20 for an oil change
>mfw I spend $65+ tax for 5 quarts of Amsoil synthetic + Mobil 1 oil filter

Do people enjoy messing their cars up with shitty oil?

>shitposts daily
What the fuck are you talking about?

>still no evidence
kys retard

Do you enjoy overpaying for shit you don't need?

>more edgy buzzword
>still no car
Its okay kid, you're the majority here anyway, so you fit right in.

>still no evidence
>expects people to believe him

ok, retard, you're the majority here anyway, you'll fit right in ;^)

meant for

Found the angry customer.
Yes, read the faq page. But you're fine, we tell customer stories here.
>calling him an attention whore
The only one here is you.
Here's your (you) now go away.

>can't reply to he correct post
>calling anyone else a retard
I was talking about oil you stupid fuck.

wow this thread degenerated fast

I only left it open because I thought you faggots were going to post car guro

...

>hurr durr i'm retarded

that coil spring is probably still good.

Good oil and oil filters are vital to maintaining the longevity of an engine. Anyone who's even slightly into cars can tell you this.

Plenty of people have done countless oil analyses on dino oil in engines and they've done just fine. Overpaying for synthetic for a commuter or shitbox is pointless.

They never have good oil, they use the same cheap shit for every car that comes in there and the techs usually don't know fuck all about cars

Did he died?

Nice sources you raging faggot

Have fun putting $70 worth of oil in your $3000 car retard.

Keep baiting you bus rider, maybe someday someone will actually believe you

>being this assmad
Must've hit a nerve. How's your geo?

jesus fucking christ

Op here.

Every so often a shitpost will spiral out of control and take on a life if its own. That's Veeky Forums for you. I made a feels thread and it was worse than this.

I can post some stories later if you want.

Veeky Forums isn't your fucking blog

Kek I like that someone shooped that in. Live when memes mashup together.

Looks like I was wrong. I read the article and apparently the guy got hit by a street racer. That really pisses me off.

Here we go again.
Ok, this is the real story is here.
I wasn't paying full attention when I posted the other.


ktla.com/2015/04/02/traffic-collision-in-hawthorne-leaves-1-dead-minivan-wrapped-around-pole/

The issue is when the shitposter doubles down and everyone doesn't realize that he's not going to stop.

Anyways, to contribute to the thread
>customer calls for a rear axle
>ask if it's four wheel drive
>he tells me yes
>next question is for the ratio, to prevent any driveline damage when/if the 4WD is active
>what do you mean "ratio"?
>why are you making it so hard? I just want an axle so you will sell me an axle unintelligible rant from here on out

>abc7.com/news/deadly-hawthorne-street-race-kills-1;-driver-sought/1161565/
>tracks and highways where you can...
Are they saying go to germany's autobahn or just race on normal highways here?

>Jennifer Thang
>Thang

I'd kek, but I hope a worse fate is in store for the asshole who rammed him

That's what I was wondering. Apparently highways are safe to race on according to this cop.
This was a one man accident. The other article I posted was a street racer got airborne and pancaked a guy in his car.
The racefag didn't even get any serious injuries. Probably something that a bandaid would fix. I hope he gets raped repeatedly in prison.

My dad always says this but for some reason he doesn't get it through his head that no shop will do my vehicle for less than $40 fucking dollars due to how much oil it takes.

Just for you:

>guy with some expensive Mercedes suv comes into the shop complaining of squealing noise
>check brakes
>guy is a cheap fuck and doesn't want to spend the money
>my faggot coke head boss only sells the pads and rotor for the squealing side
I think the dude was some greasy greek immigrant

I hated my boss, fuck him.

IT DRIVES JUST FINE

strange thread to pick to throw a full blown tism tantrum

>changing pads after 147k miles

>not changing pads as often as your GF
it like you don't even race

PEOPLE, Veeky Forums IS A PEACEFUL BOARD.

Found this on the boss's car 3000 km after a service. I don't know what his mechanic does but can't be checking those.

I like how the pole he crashed into isnt even bent in the slightest

Funny. I had an indi shop tell me I needed my rear brakes changed...15k miles after the dealer did it.

>work at autozone
>guy comes in asking for a part for a chevy tahoe or something
>ok np, what gasket
the gasket
>yeah, which one
theres more than one on the tahoe?
>stifle a chuckle, yeah theres a few
idk the guy before said i needed the lower one
>uh, ok maybe you got the lower intake and need the upper now?
yeah thats it, it was square
>look bro, i honestly don't know what you need
>he calls his mechanic
>he needed the timing cover set

I've been here for 7 years, faggot.

It's not getting worse, it has always been this bad and massive faggots like you are the cause of it.

Dude comes in and greentexts, helps the thread out and along comes some straight autist fucking retard shitting everything up

Fucking kill yourself

...

God damnit, I work at o reilly's and I get retarded shit like this all the time. Our customers are 75% old ass rednecks that can barely work a flip phone and 25% wives of old ass rednecks that can barely work a flip phone. I've met dogs with more common sense. Even the smart ones are barely qualified to work on a modern vehicle.

>Dude walks in with his dad, 30 and 50-60 years old
>Dad needs an abs sensor for his BMW
>Part is ~$100, cue inevitable bitching about price
>Pull part, give to Dad
>Son comes over looking smug, asks me if I know how it works
>"Sure. It's a hall effect sensor, the tone ring is on the wheel hub (or brake rotor, whatever)."
>Blank look on Dude's face
>"This here has a magnet up in it; errtime one of them teeth on the brakes passes by it sends a pulse up to the computer."
>Not wrong but the tarzan-tier explanation is amusing

He was the most informed customer I've ever had.

>I love being self employed
>he never comes back
>he tells everybody you scammed him
>you now are famous for being a thief
>you lose clients
>you die poor
I love being self employed too

>be in europe, an american lady living here comes with a broken golf III he just bought
>"the gas pump is broken, you need a new one, it's 170€"
>"too expensive, I'll look for a used pump"
>ok, it's your car
>three days later she comes back with a pump
>"this is not the one you need"
>"HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE???? I ASKED FOR A FUEL PUMP FOR A VOLKSWAGEN GOLF AND THEY GAVE ME THIS ONE"
>Proceed to explain that this is not america, here you filter the parts with your model, year, vin number, engine code, country, and with some luck you will only have three variations of each part

I treat my mechanic with respect. Been going to him for 8 years. He's taught me a lot about my old 72 buick and how to maintain it.

I also treat my O'reillys guys with respect. They help me out and obviously know more than I do since it's their field.

>O'reillys guys know more than I do
I wish that were true here. I swear I call in, answer all their questions, and still walk away with the wrong size part

Wait til summer is over and itll get better.
All these nocar summer kiddies make it worse, especially when so many are dribbling out of /r9k/ after their parents force them to get jobs.

My nearby shop is full of older fellows who park their classic vehicles out front. Where I live we've got a large crowd of classic car gatherings/collectors.
