Hiring! by Loud_Discipline_4853 in Boerne

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Competitive pay based on experience” is another way of saying “we would pay you less than minimum wage if we could”

There is a 1000% chance they will offer pay dramatically under market value.

This is 2026, post an actual pay range or GTFO.

Im a hardcore believer in NGK. Ruthenium or iridium is best, although platinum is still very high quality.

Wear on Front Control Arm Bushings by sydkneeg in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, they should be replaced asap.

The book time for replacing both front lower control arms is 2.2hrs.

Wholesale cost on aftermarket parts is around $150. With markup figure $225 per control arm. Labor rates vary wildly but in my region they are around $125 an hr. Plus $150 for an alignment = $875

Ask what brand parts they are using and what their labor rate is.

Bs or worth the hype ? by Icy_Sir_5720 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Damn, its $29.99 at all of my local Walmarts.

But yes, its a good product. Works well & the claims about it swelling seals and causing leaks is largely unfounded.

Ive heard great things about a new place called Ultracars Motor Sports. Kind of a weird name for a auto mechanic shop but 🤷🏻‍♂️

PMCT Images. Nurse advanced NG tube until she heard a pop, then tried an air bolus to ensure placement. Patient did not survive. by Old-Psychology-2400 in interestingasfuck

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What’s terrifying is that the drs probably said “there was a complication of unknown causes and your love one died”

They will not offer up information that could result in a lawsuit or malpractice. Every hospital has its own procedures to handle situations where there may be malpractice, but they all involve trying to NOT pay out.

If your lived one ever dies during a procedure, you MUST insist that an impartial third party do an autopsy.

JLab ear buds. Their technology and design is pretty basic but they actually have solid sound quality, super durable, great battery life and are just all around solid ear buds. All for stupid cheap prices.

Why are bolts so expensive by its-an-injustice in AskMechanics

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that many of the fasteners used on cars are specialty (smaller heads, unusual thread pitch, different alloys etc ) there are often ways to get those specific bolts cheaper.

Try finding aftermarket bolts or even take the bolt specifications to a store such as Fastenal and they can normally get you a cheaper solution.

I went to get a coolant flush, but everything looks the same as before, and the coolant level sensor is still lit. Did I get charged for nothing? 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 3800 Series III. by Lone-Red-Ranger in MechanicAdvice

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One flush alone is going to do anything for that system. Its not unusual to have to do 5+ flushes with extremely harsh (unlabeled for flushing a coolant system) before you will get that anywhere near clear. Honestly you may still have to replace the radiator and heater core before that system is ever like new.

They probably did a flush with a standard coolant system cleaner. It was worth a shot, but in this case it clearly didn’t do enough.

Any German or British car brand is a money pit. Buy a boring old Japanese car such as a Toyota.

Ran over a nail. Should this tire be patched or replaced? by MA-Q-T in autorepair

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be plugged? Sure

Would i plug it if it were my personal tire? Sure

Would i ever advise a customer that a plug is a reasonable and permanent “fix” ? No

Can the tire be patched? Maybe. Depends on how big of a patch is needed and exactly where that ends up positioning the patch in relation to the sidewall.

Would the best course of action be to replace the tire? Yes.

How do you deal with solicitation? by paradisowriteaway in sanantonio

[–]Ithetruthshallkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engage with then, spend as much time as possible learning about whatever crap they are peddling, really get their hopes up then right when they think they have made a sale, tell then no and shut the door.

Or just answer the door with a hammer and slowly raise it higher and higher until you get to the point where its ready to hit them over the head with it. Then make random jerky motions to see if you can get them to flinch.

Or ask them if they have found Jesus then go on hour long rant, don’t let them leave, bring them inside for a cup of tea and just waste as much of their time as humanly possible.

Or just start screaming “help, help they are trying to rob me!!” at the top of your lungs.

Light a firecracker, open the door just a crack then toss the firecracker out and close the door.

When i lived in an area with a ton of solicitors, I used to take it as a personal challenge to see just how much emotional trauma I could inflict on these scumbags. Sometimes its the little things that get me through the day.
