Customer: "Why is it so expensive?"
Me: "Well sir, that is the price point Land Rover sets for us."
Customer: "Oh....." [Insert awkward moment of silence as customer stares at invoice.]
Customer: I have a shop, do I get a discount?
Me: "Yes sir. We do offer a discount to shops; however, we will just need you to fill out a Tax ID form and provide us with the necessary information."
Customer: "My shop doesn't have a Tax ID #."
Me: "Without your tax information or business license, I cannot offer you a discount."
Customer:[Another long pause] "Do they sell these at Autozone?"
Me: "Good luck sir"

Another one:
"What weight coolant do I put in my Range Rover?"

LOL! I understand! I worked for Land Rover for a little over a year, but it only took me a week or so to figure out that these vehicles were disasters waiting to happen.

I heard a story like this before. The owner of a shop I worked at while in high school owned a fleet of vans. He told one of the drivers that the van he was driving was using oil so stop every so often and check the oil and put some in if it needed it. Everytime the driver stopped he added oil. Eventually it smoked REALLY bad so he added more. There was so much oil that it snapped the crank in half. They pulled the distributor out and oil started pouring out of the top of the intake manifold.....

Sadly when I was service manager at Jiffy Lube one of the techs did this to a 96 Integra and she came back like 4 hours later, it was summer and I don't know how that thing didn't blow up......I felt a little pain inside since I had the same car at the time.

was this while i was there?

Yes, it all has to do with most of the people working don't give two craps about their job. Also Wal-Mart has alot of issues with stripping out drain plugs, I shop at wal-mart but will not let them touch my car.

So true, my uncle dropped a car off at Wal-Mart's express tire and lube, after waiting for two hours to get an oil change they told him that the drain plug didn't fit. I wonder how did that happen .
