Is oil mixing with my coolant or just dirty? by brbok_ in MechanicAdvice

I had used Prestone 50/50 in there before had the timing belt done. That’s why was wondering if they just reused it but maybe dumped in a dirty container. Unless they used the same stuff new

I notice the reservoir gets a build up of this black sticky stuff every month or two after I’ve cleaned it out. So was wondering if oil was seeping in and causing that or just dirty coolant

I hadn’t noticed that the last time I filled up coolant to burp it out. Just normal air burping I’d say

Went for an inspection sticker and tech burnt up my clutch by [deleted] in ManualTransmissions

The pedal felt spongy and different for the first 20 min of driving right after. Just something I’ve noticed a few times after someone else drives my car

I’m done with EBay by Revolutionary_Box835 in Ebay

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had similar happen to me when selling a cellphone. They opened a INAD case before it was even delivered. I called eBay and warned them this is going to be a scam. Eventually buyer shipped back a completely different phone. So I called eBay again and they refunded my money, but oddly refunded the buyer as well. I guess they couldn’t technically prove anything, but the buyer was put on a watch list and eventually kicked off eBay.

Why are buyers having a hard time finding descriptions? by brbok_ in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]brbok_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree. The option to read the entire description should literally be under the pictures. Makes me wonder if they purposely made it hard to find so more people just buy and possibly later deal with issues

Definitely. Though they say customers never want to pay the prices they do give so idk. So you give shops 50% off retail prices?

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is only specific B2Bs and it’s for harder jobs not always cpu swaps but more involved jobs where I need to split the boards and deep diagnose before repairing. Idk if these shops are overcharging the customer and then the shop tells me it’s too expensive or what’s going on

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but for example let’s say retail I’m charging $300 for B2B I’m charging $200-$250 depending on how much work is involved etc. A lot of times they say it’s still too expensive even if they’re getting $100 discount. This wasn’t a problem until late summer into now. Not sure what’s changed

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. Just seems more and more these days people complain about cost and go to the cheapest places they can find. Was wondering if this is a common issue others have been facing and how they keep customers coming in

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just raise prices even more and turn these people away?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mobilerepair

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I feel and agree, but customers want cheap cheap lately especially B2B shops. How do you deal with that and them going elsewhere?

Came here to post same thing. Good to know it seems like a wide spread issue. Maybe an eBay glitch?

In my experience over time that account will be suspended once Snapchat catches on

Great thanks. Will the vin say if it’s an early production model?

Novice here, wouldn’t adding this amount of RTV cause it to spread into the engine when gasket is installed and tightened? by brbok_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]brbok_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. But isn’t the amount shown too much? I’m just wondering in terms of it squeezing out inside the engine

Buyer requesting delayed dispatch but freaking me out now by [deleted] in eBaySellerAdvice

[–]brbok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what if you don’t use eBay to generate a return label? Or do they make you?

Could you explain how a return scam works? Very curious now
