Default Re: Some mechanics must think people are stupid!

Some, no wait.. many moons ago my ex had a mint 1994 300zx non turb.
We were going for a roadie to see the Dish in Parkes.
She suggested getting a service at a Nissan dealer before going. I said, sure.
I get a phone call on the day of the service from her asking if $325 for front brake pads was ok..
Hmmm, Hell no, it's not ok. I said I'll call you back in 5.

Rang old mate at Sprint Auto Parts and asked what's my price?
He says $75. Hmm, rang her back and asked to speak the service advisor, on her phone.
He said, um, er, ah, yes, we quoted her for the wrong pads, they will cost you $45 incl. fitting...
Like WTAF.
Yes she was a hottie, yes she had plenty of lukka, and a nice rack.
That's not the point.
I just don't get what's in it for the guy quoting for the pads. It's not like he's getting a % of the sale, or even an end of month bonus.

Plenty of dodgey bros out there, especially if the customer is female".
Just plain wrong, and I hate them for treating people that don't know anything about cars this way.

/rant off.
