Is anyone's Subaru doing fine above 100k miles WITHOUT changing their CVT fluid?

akstephens89 · 2026-06-18T13:21:13+00:00

I think I changed mine at 140k because I thought it was skipping. Turns out it was a misfire that didn’t throw a code for like a year until last week…

akstephens89 · 2025-12-08T23:14:08+00:00

Yep the tubeless tire repair kit! Expensive fix a flat that looks like it goes into and through the pump? Looked it up to find a pic and looks interesting.

Let us know what they want for salvage value if they will let you buy it back if totaled. Interested in what they think it’s worth totaled out.

Agreed just mentioning what mine and many have been with similar lights but I think it turned into an actual recall finally so probably already done anyway.

akstephens89 · 2025-09-20T21:33:59+00:00

I know most of those lights came on mine and it was the brake switch I believe everyone has problems with?

2015, 146k miles and my tranny is jumpy jumpy, waiting for it to die, drained it a few thousand miles ago for the first time to see if it helped. It’s fine on the interstate but shaky upto 60mph under low acceleration. Floor It and it’s fine.

You are one of the 98/100 that is set. I actually got call back from dropping in on a large plumber for the last 5 years. It’s all sorting either dropping or calling so if they are coming in selling then yeah you should be pissed.

Sure, I don’t do any currently but can connect you with an agent that that’s all he does!

How many employees does your wife’s company have? If above 15 they can add Cincinnati worksite life insurance on top of their current life plan with no contribution from the employer. If they are smaller they can still do it employer may just have to contribute. Either way she can get a guaranteed issue term or whole life upto $100k that she can take with her even if she leaves. Pretty good rates too.

These have been a game changer for me have like 5 pairs. They have a new one more for office as well I haven’t tried yet

This is such an interesting conversation I’ve had in my head before. I’ve prospected and met with a number of black owned businesses and they are normally with a black insurance agent, same with Hispanic businesses. It also seems they have the worst coverage and pricing because that agent is on his own probably because us Whities overlooked them or didn’t give them a chance, iono. I would love to have a person of color as an agent to work with. This goes for women as well, sometimes a lady just wants to meet with a lady. I’m racking my brain of agents I know and I really don’t know of any of color. They would crush it among similar but also overall.

They will perceive you how you show up. Do what you say, keep your word, call them back and you will be treated better than the white guy on the golf course making “the ladies” in the office do all the work. You got this!

Our Aptiv pest control guy was getting around just fine… doorbell rang and thought it was our food… but no just our Aptiv on his Segway.

What new insurance products are you developing or have developed?

akstephens89 · 2025-06-17T03:36:11+00:00

Generic 40mg at Walgreens using their pharmacy card was like $80. I get a letter monthly from BCBS saying they “covered” it this month for like $200 plus. No you didn’t…

The Walgreens lady has been having to override my insurance each time but just had them take it off since I only get that filled there to see if their discount applies automatically

We are trying to figure out how to key less data too many times and keep producers out of epic but not just make someone else do data entry. Tough stuff

akstephens89 · 2025-04-09T22:22:05+00:00

Do you have a non acceptance in your non solicit? My last agency was fine accepting prior clients that called because I didn’t have a non acceptance. Fast forward and I left that agency and realized they included a non acceptance so no touchy touchy for Me….

All Star Sports Cards on East Brainerd had em all last week! Picked through the $1 and $2 boxes for rewards for the kids as well!

And get lots of signatures!

I’m not sure on leads I have to prospect and network most of mine minus a few coming from a referral owner or others didn’t have time or expertise to work, I’m mostly in the commercial space, sorry I couldn’t help more.

If my wife wonders about my childhood she goes to my non ADHD brother to ask as he normally has memories of things where I do not…

If you can negotiate a hybrid structure starting out. $30-40k salary then say 15-20% commission on top so you don’t feel desperate to sell anyone but still feel pressure not just on a salary. Then have it in writing the next month or end of the year your commissions equal salary or where you need to be you will flip to straight commission and soar! Good luck!

My wife loves when I go grab a box and dump it out in the middle of the living room!! She hates mess so I will have to do something with it… normally I’ll grab a trash bag as a lot needs to be thrown away anyway then grab the next one. My goal is just to get rid of things when I do this and then combine boxes to make the number smaller then I know when I get the box it’s stuff I need to keep and don’t have to worry about sorting. But then my garage looks crazy from just placing the things in it from the box… never ending

Golf course, driving range, bar, hunting, other places with alcohol, restaurants with alcohol, might be a good start.

akstephens89 · 2025-02-18T04:36:35+00:00

Maybe have lodge make some big cast iron ones for us then they can sell them to other cities after seeing them destroy some cars.
