[QUOTE]Originally posted by hidnn.o.s.: [QB] So, often times as a service manager a customer has their car towed in and magically the tow truck driver has diagnosed their problem for them. Then when we call the customer back with a $500 or more repair they are like, "WTF, FRED SAID IT WAS QUICK AND EASY AND A HOSE." So tonight I go home. My ex tells me she stopped to get the mail. Got back into her car and pulled forward to our townhome. The check engine light came on, car idled like shit and there was smoke everywhere. Anyway, I go out, open the hood and there is oil ALL OVER the passenger side of the engine compartment and dripping down. I fire up the car, have to give it gas or it will die. At idle it sounds HORRIBLE and wants to die. I gave it gas to 4k RPM's and it accelerated smooth, but idled HORRIBLE. I told her, well, you ARE NOT driving this. I tell her to call AAA and we'll have it towed to my work and have it looked at tomorrow. She goes inside, calls AAA. Guy gets there and I'm up in my room watching TV and checking my email. I have the door open and am listening to her tell the tow truck driver what happened. I hear him asking her a few stupid questions, clearly hitting on her/creating helpful conversation. She quickly comes upstairs and says, "so and so said he smells coolant and it's likely just a hose or something that's not expensive to fix." I look at her and tell her, "I showed you oil. There is oil all over your parking spot, it's not water/coolant, your issue isn't that easy don't get your hopes up, this is not your problem." I can see it in her eyes, she realizes I did show her what was on the ground and it was clearly not water. SHORT STORY, SHE, AS MANY MANY WOMEN DO, WOULD HAVE HAD HER CAR TOWED IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WHEN I CALL HER THE NEXT DAY AND TELL HER THERE IS A HOLE IN HER BLOCK SHE'D SAY, "BULLSHIT, TOW TRUCK BOY SAID IT'S A HOSE, YOU ARE LIARS AND ARE TRYING TO RIP ME OFF." It's frustrating as there are MANY tow truck diagnosticians. How's that for a long/lame rant ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
