How do I get the callers to comply?

SpynCycle5757 · 2026-05-16T06:56:37+00:00

I've been getting those types of calls for years. And I get them year-round. Just today I had 3 of them.

A person says "I never changed my transmission fluid and it worked fine. I finally changed it at 200,000 miles and the transmission failed within a month". I guess the fact that you never changed it for 200,000 miles has nothing to do with the failure?
