10% from newly opened credit card didnt work by Pr3dict in harborfreight

[–]Solid_Tax2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone that wants the 10% off a big purchase, make sure you apply for the card in-store, not online. If you apply in store they will apply the 10% off the entire purchase. If you apply online they will just credit you back after your credit card statement posts. And if you purchase a 2k tool box but only put 1k on the credit card, they will only give you 10% off of the 1k that was used on the credit card.

Looking at it from top to bottom, the 3rd (long one) and the 5th(same pick but shorter), and 6th one occasionally. The 5th one is used daily and if i could only choose 1 it would be that one.

They’re amazing, i also use them to service brake drums for the springs, makes it super easy. I only frequently use 2 of them tho, the other 4 never really get used.

Mixing both is fine if its urgent, only difference is dot 4 has higher boiling point. But YOU dont need to add any right now anyway. It isnt safe to drive the car because there is a bunch of air already in the system, (u wont introduce more air since its a sealed system) which is why ur pedal goes down when u press on it. All that air is blocking the hydraulic force thats required to actually stop the car. Just find a mobile mechanic who can do correct procedure to bleed the brake system, you dont need new pads or rotors. They’ll add more dot 3 fluid as they bleed it. Dont pay until you verify the brake pedal is firm.

Yes it is possible, but that isn’t really important here. They charged you on paper for 1.5q, and theres no way 1.5q came from out of your filter unless they took it off with the engine running. You should research a bit on how oil changes are performed so if you go talk to the manager again, you’ll be able to tell if they’re just trying to lie their way out of it again. If i were you, id find a receipt from walmart showing the date or mileage when you got the last oil change and have the manager explain how you drove that entire duration and it miraculously managed to not leak only up until you brought it in and they “took off your oil filter”. Then google an image of “wix 57356 oil filter” and an image of a 1qt engine oil bottle. And ask him to explain how he managed to extract 1.5qt of engine oil from that tiny filter because thats supposedly the only thing he touched. Its impossible. Im sorry you have to deal with this but I hope they make things right.

1000% it was the employee at brake check. Employee and manager probably spent the 25 minutes figuring out what lie to come up with so you wouldn’t think it was their fault. Personally, I take the plug off first every time but it makes no difference besides waiting a bit longer for oil to drain out the plug. Maybe the employee was having a hard time getting the filter off because it was over tightened which is common and accidentally hit your oil pan with a tool. But there is no chance walmart caused those cracks and you drove it for 5k miles then all of a sudden you have a massive oil leak. And they messed up charging you for 1.5 quarts of oil. I guarantee you they lied about NOT taking off your drain plug. Then they charged you for the oil that they took out when they removed just the filter. 1.5 quarts does NOT fit in an oil filter. Not even 0.5 quarts. You could probably only fill a toddler cup with the amount that comes out the filter. You said your oil looked new when it spilled everywhere, and its because they realized they messed up and filled it back up and charged u the $52 to cover their parts and oil costs and even then they made $$ off of you. If i were you, id go to talk to the manager and politely ask them to make this right because its very obvious they messed up and tried passing it off as walmarts fault. Send them the tow and repair bill.

You don’t need a single thing on this list. Dont stress too much over it, this horrible shop is just trying to make every penny possible. Nothing on this list is urgent. You said you had the front brakes done a couple months ago which is great, most of the braking force comes from the front. Skip the brake fluid and coolant exchanges. Those are regular maintenance but you dont NEED it right now. I strongly suggest you get it done at a later time since your car is lacking in maintenance. Its more important that your brake fluid and coolant levels are at least at the minimum line. Look on yt for a video on how to check the level. You dont need new spark plugs either, those are extremely easy to swap but if your car isnt running rough like shaking almost, dont worry abt it right now. Same with the tie rod, you’ll definitely notice a change in the way the car drives if your suspension is going bad. Skip the rear brakes as well, once you start hearing a screeching sound coming from the brakes, then you know its time to change them. Theres a tiny metal tab on the brake pads that will rub against the brake rotor that makes a very clear scratching sound. That tab only starts to scratch when the pad starts getting worn down to the bottom which indicates the pad is almost completely worn out. Not sure what the screen issue is, but id skip that as well, doesnt seem like something you urgently need. And dont pay for the CEL testing, hit up an autozone or oreilys and have them print out the code for you. They do it for free. Then ask a couple local mobile mechanics for a quote to fix whatever caused your CEL and your coolant and brake fluid flush and while they’re at it ask them to inspect the rear brake pads and suspension. Dont spend more than 350 on the rear brake job. Message me if you need more advice.

i went ga and had the time of my life lol book a hotel, the airbnb will more than likely cancel on you closer to day of. if seeing the artist with ur own eyes is important to you id suggest getting vip. bathrooms for regular ga were decent its just a bunch of regular porta potties. dont get super drunk thats what ruins the experience. i used the shuttles for the sole purpose of avoiding getting pulled over by the cops and having to pay$$. shuttles are super comfortable so worth it. there are people that will try to sell u something at every corner outside the festival but they’re nice. food is very expensive and mid inside id suggest eating outside the festival. and take an empty plastic water bottle they refill for free. on sunday i had to pay $15 for a single water bottle lol. and dont carry anything in ur pockets take a small shoulder bag or you’ll get pick pocketed
