Dealing With Suck Merchants
There’s a delicate way to argue with dealership mechanics while they still have your car. They could butcher it or spin a game wheel to decide how many extra hours your wait time will be. Free visits via warranties and service plans are almost worthless because of the hassle.
Last week was another close call when I saved a nice old lady from getting conned out of 100 dollars. Came so close to getting caught. I felt like the best dude.
I think part of my problem with car repairs is the fragility of cars. Once certain things break (like when a mechanic breaks the seal on a window) no human can ever get it back to factory default. You can ask them to try and it just gets worse. You’re driving away from the place and the pshsshhhhhhsh-shshshhshsh wind noise is now PSHSHSHHHHH-SHSHSSSHHHHHSH-SHSHSHSH. That stuff frustrates me so much I feel like my stomach is bleeding.

PS. 1. Politely ask for manager. 2. Manager will decide within ten seconds, from across the room, if you will be in his favor. Do not break eye contact as he walks toward you and he will ultimately concede. 3. Speak only in hushed tone for knockout punch.
I don’t mind revealing my trade secrets in abridged form because it would take a whole book to really teach them well enough that they could maybe be used against me.
