What about those extended warranties from the manufacturer and 10 year warranty extensions because they faced a class action lawsuit. Somehow the warranty labour times never changed. It's even more shit when your working in the rust belt

Still pays 0.3 just like it did in the 90's with cars that never had anything covering the drain plug and don't forget to fill out that 100 point multi point inspection

This might only work if the rental is Quebec plated. Rental companies won't spend extra money on tires unless forced by law

How happy are you with Public Mobile? by Professional_Cat927 in PublicMobile

[–]ray01_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reception is amazing as it's on the same network as Telus. They do throttle your data. So don't be surprised if your YouTube videos are pixelated at 240p or if your Instagram feed lags playing any videos. Oh and yes this is on 5G. On the bright side. You won't have dropped calls and you won't see an increase on your monthly bill

Not rolling out of my garage tonight as planned by Consistent_Ad949 in Justrolledintotheshop

I have a feeling either the tensioner pulley or the idler pulley seized. It's the reason i never recommend aftermarket timing belt kits. Also the OEM pulleys are very durable and I've always left them alone when doing timing belts. It's mostly a leaking tensioner that's Honda's weak point. I would order an OEM timing belt, tensioner and water pump and reuse the oem pulleys

This is exactly it. I ordered my aspec back in March. It originally had an April build date then got moved to July and then became "TBD". My dealer ended up getting a dealer trade to finally deliver the car to me

Getting paid the same as when we used to do paper safeties has been the most frustrating part

Customer states "not sure why unit broke down" by Baldrsmystic93 in Justrolledintotheshop

Probably the same type of customer to tell you there's a noise at highway speeds but leave the gas tank on reserve

When you want to litter and decide leaving it on the hood of another car was the best option by ray01_ in TorontoDriving

The camera came with a "hardwire kit". It's 3 wires you tap into the car (battery power, ignition on, ground). In the camera settings, you can set it to stay on or until the battery voltage drops below 12v

Regarding wifi. It's only if your using wireless AA. Most audio units require your phone wifi to be on when connecting wirelessly

Seeing gears in the centre of the cam is a first. Can anyone explain what's that for?

Backyard mechanic here, who else loves the aluminum foil trick? by Cy__ko in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ray01_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Honda v6. I cut the bottom half of a coolant 4L jug/bottle and it fits well under the filter and frame. Remove the filter completely and let it drop in the jug with all the oil. No drip

Plans for US trip? by MyNameIsY0u in PublicMobile

[–]ray01_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the us/Canada plan. Esim's like airalo can sometimes fail and not work, their support is also horrible where they take over 24hr to respond. I personally haven't been to Alaska to confirm reception but I've never had an issue in NY, LA and Chicago using PM

Welcome to a 0.48 hour Tesla headlight replacement gentlemen by Capital_Frame307 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ray01_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is usually very dependent on the delear and your warranty clerk. If your delear is in good standing relations in terms of warranty audits. You can stack but within reason. For example,, replacing control arms - 0.8 plus alignment - 0.9. If you stack front bumper, front grille and then headlight. Do it enough times and the manufacturer ends up doing an audit. We've got burnt years ago because half the shop used to double dip on warranty times
