[11:31] schestowitz-TR oh [11:31] DaemonFC The Buick dealer has much higher labor prices. [11:31] schestowitz-TR that'll cost... [11:32] DaemonFC Yeah, I felt like I was getting the bum's rush yesterday. [11:32] DaemonFC They said it stopped doing it, so I drive off and it starts doing it again and then they said come back Monday. [11:33] schestowitz-TR all this trouble... for a "luxury" car [11:33] DaemonFC But while I was there I was noting their service specials, and it was like super expensive. Like $499 an axle for a brake job, which the Chevy dealer wants $259 for, which is jsut an example. [11:33] schestowitz-TR taxis are cheaper [11:33] DaemonFC How is $499 for a brake job a special when Chevy dealers use the same parts? [11:33] schestowitz-TR taxis to a distant airport is cheaper [11:33] schestowitz-TR I did that in cyprus due to lack of time [11:34] schestowitz-TR "premium" = "macheads" and MARISOLS [11:35] DaemonFC The only one star reviews for the Chevy place are idiots like.... [11:35] DaemonFC "It doesn't take an hour for an oil change." [11:36] DaemonFC It takes 30-45 minutes for one to be done correctly. Unless you want Jiffy Lube to get you in and out in under 15 minutes and leave 1/8th of the old oil in the engine. [11:36] DaemonFC It takes a while for the last half a quart or so to drain out, and any honest shop leaves it there until it turns into a slow drip. [11:42] schestowitz-TR yeah, welcome to car mechanics and stuch [11:42] schestowitz-TR *such [11:42] schestowitz-TR not renowned for their honesty [11:43] schestowitz-TR double-dipping on costs of cars [11:43] schestowitz-TR and people willing to spend a fortune to justify paying so much for a car [11:49] DaemonFC It's actually Jiffy Lube that's ripping people off. [11:49] DaemonFC They spend eight minutes on your oil change and don't do the entire job. [11:49] DaemonFC Then people go there because it's fast and reward them for this. [11:51] DaemonFC But the higher prices for brakes and oil changes at the Buick dealer tells me that their other work is probably more expensive too. [11:51] DaemonFC They go after people at the Buick dealer because Buicks are nicer cars than Chevys. [11:53] Techrights-sec ^ack [11:55] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, It's really dishonest too, because you take a Buick and drive it to Chevy. [11:55] DaemonFC They have all of the same parts at Chevy. [11:55] DaemonFC Or can get them. [11:55] DaemonFC And they charge less per labor hour because most people take Chevys there. [11:55] DaemonFC And the Lacrosse is basically a fancy Impala. [11:56] schestowitz-TR yeah [11:56] schestowitz-TR anyway, you got a high-maintenance item [11:58] schestowitz-TR "luxury" cars demand "luxury" so-called 'mechanics' [11:58] schestowitz-TR you bought the lifestyle [11:58] schestowitz-TR not you need to live with it [11:59] DaemonFC It's not really that much different than the Impala. ● Apr 17 [12:00] DaemonFC I think all cars use a S-Belt driven system of pulleys now.
