    Did you ask them to do a water test? The wife's prius had a leak right the edge of the sidewall, and AutoNation took it off and dunked it until it bubbled. They wanted to sell us the tires, too, but we got those from Sam's.

    That should've been the "normal" procedure...... just like load testing the battery at every service of any type....

    No water test. That screw has been in there for about 2-3 months but didn’t start leaking until recently. :anonymous:

    True story... dealer lube lanes are getting as worse as jiffy lube. Ridiculous because all they do are oil changes and rotates... jiffy lube provided a lot of work for me back in the day.

    I didn't quite have that experience in the USAF, but the quality of life was pretty good compared to others.

    it does depend on what you do.....PJ.....yeah you are out in the slop like all the other special forces, lawyer...inside....jet engine repair...half and half.

    ammunition assembler....a/c and clean room......general...well, vacation in Hawaii, or some other tropical venue.... computers.....never see the light of day.......drone pilot...you might get a large dose of UV exposure upon leaving the trailer to walk 100 yrds to the barracks.....

    still better than being sea sick or having to heat your MRE on the hood of the Humvee
