    They would usually torque my wheels on so much that I needed a 2' pipe on a breaker bar to get them off next time I needed to. Surprised I never had a sheared lug.

    I wish business has been pretty down here lately, our techs are living on there 30 hour guarantees for the most part.

    Same here. Just the shop I'm at now doesn't like to pay for a lot. Getting tired of all the free shit that doesn't pay me anything.

    My wife gets on my ass for doing my own oil changes because our dealer charges only $13 for an oil change and DIY is a lot more. But this is exactly why I do my own.

    Tell the dealer you'll give them the $13 for the oil and the filter and you'll do it yourself. Saves you and them both money...win/win for everyone!
