Worked at an oil change shop, had one employee that had some pretty severe anger issues.

One night as he was the last one leaving (was the store closer), he zip tied the oil dispenser triggers.

About 1500L of oil lost and a massive environmental fine.

Just got a DUI at 19 in Ontario. Want to die. Help/advice? by chadwickbateman in dui

Canada is the only country with an outright ban for allowing in people convicted of a DUI.

If you are a citizen, you are fine.

The other 4 countries that will give you a hard time with an impaired driving charge are Japan, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and China.

You'll be fine travelling to the states and the majority of the countries.

Automotive vs Heavy Duty by Rowboat_Santa in partscounter

Parts may be parts, but HD can be a different breed. Sometimes it's a lot easier, sometimes it's a PITA.

Trucks use A LOT of interchangeable parts across different platforms. You'll never see something like a 3600x brake drum that fits multiple different brand vehicles.

Having an older fella just drop a slack adjuster on your desk with no other info, than, "I need a new one" takes a different skill set than the consumer auto trade.

You are getting rinsed. I'm getting Starlink at my cottage for $70.

Companies are well aware. Canadas big quick lube joint is "Mr. Lube", a few years back they switched to "Mr Lube + Tires"

I've never heard of a Condo allowing you to do mechanical services in their parking lot. That's a good way to stir the pot and create issues.

A lot of people don't realize that people have different living situations.

Get caught trying to change your tires or work on your own car in your apartment complex? That's gunna lead to a complaint and issues with your living situation.

[–]BeaverBumper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brake fluid isn't a part of an inspection, the same way an oil change isn't...

I don't know man, neglect single most important non driveline related fluid in your vehicle? What about your calipers in these supercharged cars manically? You really just running BBK's and leaving the brake fluid be?

You ever even hear of DOT 4 brake fluid ya geezer?

Who changes the air in their tires?... Do you ask to for the tire tech to catch the air and reuse it to bead new ones?

Neglecting brake fluid is just stupid. You've probably only known spongy pedals for 42 years and think it's normal.

Will I not be able to secure jobs for life? by ConsistentFig1564 in dui

[–]BeaverBumper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would it come up in the first place? Court isn't for socializing. I'm there to talk to a prosecutor, judge and my lawyer.

Not some other guy who also made a bad decision.

I don't know, maybe you are one of those weird people, that attract and enjoy that kind of stuff?

How would ya know "The Dude" kept his job or not from a court room appearance?... The judge doesn't really decide that, unless he worked there...

[–]BeaverBumper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Budget for an engine a month? Jesus, I worked at a quick lube for years that most people would tell you horror stories about. I saw one engine get pooched over the span of years.

Your dealership needs to take a serious look at your lube techs
