can confirm my co worker used to work for them hes told me stories
Have you ever gone to one? Will you ever go back?
>paying ANYONE $500 to do your timing belt
Jesus fucking Christ people like you are why I work in the automotive industry, because you're fucking retarded enough to pay me $500 to do a job that takes an hour.
I went once. I will not be back.
>Implying you could do the timing chain on a vq in one hour
We talking belt or chain here? Belts on a vq aren't hard. There would be no reason to do his timing chain unless it's rattling, and even then it's just the tensioners and guides. I've done guides and tensioners on 2 vq's and it took me maybe 2-3 hours for each one.
Lol, can't believe people fall for the air filter trick. Starting at notoriously sheisty Canadian chain store auto desk tomorrow, I'm praying to run into suckers like you...
I bought a used car a few days ago and I noticed there was a Jiffy Lube sticker on the windshield. I got paranoid and checked all the fluid levels, and everything appeared to be fine until I checked on the oil. The dipstick showed there was no oil. Only a smear on the tip below the L marker. WTF? So I cleaned it off with a rag and checked again. Still no oil between the L and F markers. So I pour in half a bottle and wait a minute or two. I measure it again and the oil level is now above the L. I wait a while longer to check for leaks, but there are no leaks. I pour in the rest of the bottle and the marker is near full. Fuck me, man. How long was the car running with the bare minimum of oil?
>"friends"
Thats where you fucked up faggot.
Tell them to take that shit in themselves.
If you did a good job i would totally pay you 500 dollars to change the timing belt in my truck.
>tfw its 100f+ outside
>tfw have to remove fan shroud, fan, belts
>tfw have to unbolt the A/C pump, alternator, and upper radiator hose
>tfw have to undo timing belt cover and undo the crank bolt
>tfw have to do all of that in order to get the timing belt off
