I personally do all of my own work on my cars and although I understand the markup, I don’t understand the HIGH markup. Recently I replaced the radiator and I asked a chain shop which parts they would be using for my car in a quote that way I could find those same parts. Found the same exact, brand new part, same part…

Yeah especially since you could easily do it yourself and get rid of the fluid for free at most part stores. I try to tell my friends that if they really want a cheap oil change let me do it for you because Ill let you choose your own oil and filter then do the change for free. it only takes about 20 minutes tops and…

I do most of the work for my car myself and in May I put in new hoses($20), oil cooler seal($5 for 3 when I only needed 1), radiator($100 same brand, part # and everything brand new), and thermostat($19). I called multiple different shops and was quoted about $600 JUST FOR PARTS! They said total it should cost me…

Its a lot easier to get parts for the same price that they pay than it is to get good quality ink for the price that they pay. Although I do have a printer that allows cheap knockoff ink from amazon and it looks good too. I pay $5 total for all new ink cartridges. I have found parts online that were the same brand,…

The worst is that they charge you extra if you bring in your own parts... So you’re telling that you want me to pay that high price for the cheapest parts that you can find when I can buy a high end aftermarket part for around the same price? Then you want to charge me for bringing in my own parts? It’s the stupidest…

Can I be ungreyed? please?

Me, being a millennial as well, actually loved bikes growing up. I always wanted to get into dirt biking as an intro to the world of riding but didn't ever get a chance to ride until I got into college because my parents didn't want me riding. When I finally got some money I went and bought my first one.I loved it. I…

I think you mean jalopeño-hot

best analogy ever

I really have no clue what piemonaide is

are the gti’s that bad brand new?

people do it all the time, just don't get caught..

I used to be a salesman about 2 years ago so I know how it is, but that is the reason I only used it as a stepping stone into a new career. You’re basically complaining that you wished we could go back in time to the 80s and 90s to where the customer was so uninformed that you could practically sell the car at…

I will say that I have met some decent salesmen back when I was one 2 years ago, but since the model is the same it’ll be the same way. I left that job because I got a high paying job. Now tell me why when I go to dealerships I hardly get approached (probably because of me being young at 24) and when I do get…

At the dealership that I sold at we would only ‘recondition’ the cars that had something noticeably wrong with it that the buyer could immediately see. Most reconditions consisted of washing and vacuuming the car and frebreeze.

Id say only the finance guys, and managers are the only employees that have got it made besides the owners

You mean AKA paint wax? They literally only wax the car when you pay for that. I agree with the buying online part except Im not willing to pay more than what the cars are worth. If they switched then they would need to seriously lower the price of cars considerably since we wouldn't need to pay for the dealerships…

you've obviously never been to a dealer lot before

Absolutely. That is absolutely the best description that I can think of what is happening at dealerships except that dealerships don’t get screwed by the manufacturers. The dealers buy the cars at invoice like shopping in a store, they see a car then buy it for the set price and put it on their lot. (of course after…

no such thing as a good one. Seriously if you leave and they are smiling then they just bent you over somehow
