The subject for today is 10 minute oil changes and why they are never 10 minutes.

I have just learned that unless you go to an honest mechanic that you know personally anything a big company tells you is just their way of getting customers and then ripping them off.  It is all a game for them to make that initial attraction by advertising these things and then once they get the customer they will just screw them left and right and suck the money out of you.

So it probably is not a lie when they say 10 minute oil change but that does not factor in the time it takes to do the following:

1. Greet you and suck you into their trap
2. Try to sell you other things that you didn’t ask for
3. Have you sign your life away
4. The time your car sits there waiting its turn
5. The time it takes for them to wrap up with their previous customer…

It’s almost like a not so classy love affair with someone that gets around and someone that is playing hard to get…the initial attraction, the exchange of words, the flirting, the teasing, the intimacy and then they move on…the intimacy may have taken 10 minutes but it took a long time for that sleaze to get you sucked in…

P.S. I am Sorry Not Sorry for feeling this way about service departments at car dealerships
