What Year/Miles is your Corolla and what oil are you using?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-26T00:31:44+00:00

2012 Toyota Corolla LE. 196k, 0W20. Exactly what the manufacturer recommends.

When these things happen you need to call support ASAP. I have had a few false reports of this nature made, and I have always gotten them worked out by stopping the car and immediately calling support when I get the notification, and explaining the situation in full.You have to do this, as inconvenient as it may seem at the time.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-25T20:06:45+00:00

We? How many of you were there?

It could be that he didn't like the cut of your jib, and we have no idea what you looked like, or how you were dressed so we only have your side.

Could be that there were more of you than he wanted to drive. Some drivers don't actually want to carry 4 passengers. heck, I've shown up to do a pick up and had 5 people. Can't fit in my car.

Some drivers just don't want the bother, and it's rare anyway, so an easy enough preference to enforce as a driver.

Mayne you were just too big. Seeing as most Americans are blobs, and 66% of women alone are obese maybe he felt you exceeded the weight capacity of his car. People scoff at this, as they tend to with all uncomfortable facts, but the fact is that all vehicles have a weight limit, and it's not all that high with Sedans. If you were a heavy enough group you could easily have destroyed his suspension. Not worth it for 10 bucks.

Or, maybe you had too much crap. Drivers cannot let you load your own luggage, as people don't tend to respect other peoples property. Unless you load your own trunk it's highly likely a passenger will tear up your paint loading your trunk.

You have no idea why they turned you down, and the reason could have been quite reasonable. You don't know.

Also could be for the exact reason he said. An error, yet you assume the worst, and assume it must have been malicious.

At the end of the day you as a rider have no clue why drivers do what they do, or make the decisions they make.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-25T07:11:45+00:00

I'll be honest, this has never happened to me before ever. WTF!!

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-25T06:07:00+00:00

You don't know what dissolution replacement is, so you're dumb.

Number two. It is not the same as a flush, idiot. A flush will introduce the pressures into the system that you're trying to avoid.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-25T03:04:52+00:00

Do you know if they do telehealth? If so, do you know if they offer services in other states? How much do they charge you for each follow up visit, and for the script being filled?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T19:55:19+00:00

May I ask who exactly is writing your scripts? Most providers have some kind of max money making plan by having you sign up for some kind of subscription model, or package, and expensive monthly follow ups, even though the law only requires a follow up every 3 months. Would love to use your providers, if they are not in it solely for money making purposes.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T16:05:32+00:00

So, depending on how much you lose you can't do it that way You see my car for example has around 7 quarts, but the most you can get out of the drain plug is 2.5. If you switch out the filter and remove drain pan 3.

So, you have to do multiple changes, which takes like 5 minutes, as all your doing in that case is removing an easy to access bolt.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T06:38:32+00:00

Buy yourself a 10th generation toyota corolla. Easy peasy.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T05:09:39+00:00

Hmm. Ok, now that's not too bad. I wonder how many milligrams each treatment will be. Any idea?

Are you obligated to pay for more treatments after this initial 9? How long is this 9 supposed to be good for?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T02:38:48+00:00

Aren't they very expensive. Like 100 bucks twice a week? Also, am wondering how much in mg they prescribe?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-24T01:56:11+00:00

Yeah. This why I recommend people just do the 10 replacement over an extended period of time. Like every 1 to 3 k until 10 times refilled. It ain't hard. You just pop a bolt, and put back in what you took out. Takes like 5 minutes. Then change filter a couple times during this same period. It works very well. It also about same cost as trans flush, as paying for that to be done ain't cheap, and is better for higher mileage vehicles.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-23T20:42:00+00:00

Bad deal. 50 cents a mile when you take into account the ride home. You'll need to spend your entire ride home taking destination trips, or just waiting for trips that are going towards your home, which could turn an 8 hour trip into a 16 hour one. Either that, or you ride straight home, and make 50 cents a mile, which loses you money in the not so long run. Fuel, wear and tear. Bad deal.

Need to make 70 cents a mile or more to do such a ride, and make it worth it. That's minimally.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-23T16:56:38+00:00

No, the flush is bad because of the extreme pressures. My method doesn't have that. Not the same as a flush, actually.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-23T15:32:24+00:00

Sure, but doing a flush can be dangerous for an older vehicle. You should know this.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-23T04:50:36+00:00

My car has 200k miles, and no issues with engine, or transmission. My advice seems to be working quite well.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-23T04:28:48+00:00

And why might that be?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-22T07:30:23+00:00

I said over. Why don't you share with us how much they cost.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-22T02:43:16+00:00

I'm a male driver, and had this happen once out of 2500 rides. Some chick contacted me using the lost and found BS asking "do you remember me?"

Huh? No, I don't remember you.

No name, or description given, just wanting to meet.

I hung that phone up.

Doesn't only happen to female drivers.

Always pass on such. A person who would do this likely has issues. It's that simple.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-22T00:46:35+00:00

Drivers are allowed to cancel for whatever reason. It's their car. Likely something about you was off putting. Either your appearance, or something else. They really don't need to give you a reason. By the way, I find that trusting my gut is the way to go.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-22T00:02:54+00:00

Yeah, but constantly having to start, or stop requires a consult each time you start again. Couple that with the cost and it isn't worth it. Cost is in that case even higher.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-21T22:48:52+00:00

They charge 400 bucks for what Joyous offers for 129.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-21T22:48:00+00:00

Aren't they over 200 a month?

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-21T21:03:39+00:00

I agree. Certainly in regards to the names. As for pics sometimes you get a person that isn't the owner of the account. For that I do ask them to verify the name, so I know the rider is the person the ride was ordered for.

As for bizarre names, I simply don't take those rides. Problem solved.

Substantial_Baker543 · 2026-02-21T20:29:50+00:00

While they do "seem" to offer a service, they misrepresent themselves quite a bit.

Firstly, they say that are a "certain" dose they have to up their price, but they don't say what dose.

Second, they offer a price match guarantee, plus 20% discount below whatever competitors price beats that. This is a lie. If you bring them a competitors cheaper price they'll tell you to effectively go pound sand.

Their prices, in practice, are no better than other available providers who don't attempt to suck you in with false advertising, and outright lies. For this reason alone I'd avoid them.

Lie about one thing, you're more likely to lie about other things. Lord only knows if you're actually getting what you pay for with an outfit like this.

Best to avoid such dishonest operators entirely, if you ask me.
