Repair order simply stated: Sounds like an airplane...locate airplane noise

I walked up to my boss and asked him: Now is this a 747 noise or a bi-plane noise or...?

I saw one once, lady had her car towed in because it wouldn't come out of Park. Turns out her son had been playing with the power mirrors and blew the fuse for them. Which also powers the Park interlock solenoid.

typical korean car makers

I had buddy that brought his truck to me and said the truck ran like crap so he did a tune up to try and fix it but it didnt help. Pulled it in and it was missing like crazy and knocking, checked compression and it had 0lbs on 3cylinders 10lbs on one 20 lbs on one 30lbs on another and 90 and 100lbs on the other two. he had the truck (1990 chevy 1500 with a 350) up over 100 trying to get his girlfriend home on time and it popped the headgaskets on 6 cylinders to the point there wasnt any part of the gasket there anymore, i figured that if he blew them that bad even though it was between cylinders there would be a little oil and coolant mixture but they where both fine. i also pulled out about 4lbs of sludge from the top end alone, i think somebody forgot to change the oil for a couple of years.
the funniest part is, he actually paid to put a chevy back on the road.

Also when dad was running tow trucks when we had our shop in texas we had a lady call that wanted her car towed to a shop to have the rearend checked out. Got there and she said her car just started making a horrible screeching noise on her way home the night before and needed to get it looked at. she figured since she was only a couple of miles from home she would just drive it home, she backed it into her driveway and called us the next morning. we get there to hook up to it and find the back tire on the passenger side 90degrees to the car, how do you not notice something like that, and since she backed in we had to drag it to the street and then hook up to the back.

Had one come in today. RO said:

1994 Aspire

Sounds like a truck...

I was tempted to cross out truck and write in scooter and give it back to the service writer.

Not truck related but I got a service call to fix a oil furnace and it said off and on. When I got there it was on. That is what you get when the bosses wife takes over dispatch.

I used to work for Kragen back in the day (early 90's) & Autozone (as a break between jobs) If you can find an AZ with a guy who knows jack... it is a mistake. I was fired for bad customer service. Nevermind I had received Extra miler awards and kudos from corperate (based on thank-you letters from customers).

I used to love helping the older ladies. I would always go above & beyond for them because older people know what customer service used to be like and they appreciated it.

Wanted to throttle a guy once, "Just give me the cheapest (brake) stuff you have. It's only for the wife's car." She was standing with him. I was fuming. My wife always gets the best stuff & the nicest vehicle.

just an idiot story but after playing around on the intertate for about 10 miles we stop at a gas station, a guy wanted to see under the hood so i poped the hood, my freind with me says "I need a new on of those for my van" and points and touchs the header on my car..... well you can just imagine how he felt after about touching a header on car that had been doing 10 miles of doing 90+ MPH

same freind asked me why my motorhome had a drivers seat and stearing wheel when he first seen it
