that's about how it would go if Jj were to ever try changing the oil (that's my job - he is auto-mechanicly dumb), but I'd pay good money to sit back and watch.

u forgot the pressure sales at oil change shops

the woman would actually be writing a check closer to a hundred bucks for her radiator flush, oil change, oil filter, belts................men can be dicks when working at oil change shops


when u go girls...just tell em,"i want an oil change, nothing else, i will be waiting in the lobby with my coffe."

Or just say "No thank you" when they ask you for something else? :dunno:

maybe u could be sweet and polite, if you want a salesman to keep pushing because he knows you are gullible
i prefer them to shut the fuck up right offhand and do the job they are paid to do

Or maybe I just know how to say no.
Normally, when you tell the clerk "no" they dont ask again and dont push it, in fear of angering you and losing a sale completely.

P.S. "Gullible" does not reflect all women. Dont generalize.

hey maybe its because im a man, but when i get my oil changed i always say, "sure if something looks like it needs replacing, go ahead." Once my air filter was changed and once i got new wipers. Nothing else.

Yeah. Normally, when I get something done, I get everything replaced or changed. One stop shopping.
And yeah, one time the guys sold me wipers, but I only got them because it saved me a trip to AutoZone later.

I've had my car for 8 months and have 4 more before I need an oil change but it's gonna cost me like $100. At least I get a loaner and don't have to wait.
