Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

That used to be me.

I managed to go from a half barrel keg to a mini keg

 

Morning shop crew.

Our schedule at work has gotten way over booked, I'll say only partially due to my own actions, so today marks the beginning of trying to dig out of the hole we are in. Got a 5 tech shop trying to run on 3..

Hope you all have as good a day as possible, maybe even better

 

Guess you should just add magician to your resume...

 

Where did you purchase this one? I have one but the hose diameter is 3/8th instead of half inch I think. Yours looks like a half inch sized hose?

I used forced air to get rid of most of the water then moved it downstairs for the winter. Still seems like it is in good shape.

 

Despite I’ve been in both sides of the matters, I still see that’s very troof.

 

I was in similar pinch before; my colleague reminded me that there might be two spin offs to it, for one I might get a pay raise, the other one is the downsizing of my crewmen.

Spoiler

I didn’t get a pay raise

 

Good lort, I tried to get a couple parts at the Subaru dealer and I left completely disgusted. Wanted a new serpentine belt, oil filter, drain plug, and drain plug gasket. Didn't have the belt or drain plug, which was really weird.

Here's the kicker, they wanted $86 for just the darn belt! Nope. I got the filter and gasket and left. Ordering the OEM belt online...

 

Dealer sucks for parts...always expensive

 

Arent belts around $30-40 bucks?

 

Yup...

Funny, I was just at the Subie parts desk 1/2 hour ago. I gave the fellow the part # for a gas cap, it will be here mid week.

About $24 on line, let's see what they ask for.

A key (no chip) was $24, I'll see if it work when I get home.

 

Walmart, 3 year warranty

 

Ain’t that the truth!

 

What are you all using to waterproof your leather boots? Camp Dry, motor oil, bread bags, or what?

 

take care of your tech's

 

Find a good dealer you can buy from online. I found a Chrysler dealer on fleabay I eventually just order direct from. Some do this because it keeps them running at cost and helps them with distribution deals and access. Fortunately my local Toyota dealer is awesome and gives me Jobber prices.

 

Yea my dealer is trying to be all upscale and bougie or some other BS. But the area is just normal people...

Yea, I've found one. Will order here eventually. This is just a secondary car for me, so if I have to wait for parts it won't hurt me that bad.
