>Show up at the local workshop for an oil change in my shitbox>Brought my own oil, genuine OEM filter, washer and torque wrench with the correct filter socket>Tell the mechanic not to tighten the drain plug or filter, just call me when he’s done and I’ll torque everything to exact factory spec>He asks me if I need a job>Tell me him no thanks I’m a free man, not a wageslave seeking a master
>>28929995Including travel, how long did this entire episode take?
>>28929995>>Show up at the local sexshop for a quick fuck>>Brought my own lube, magnums, spermacide and cumrag>>Tell the gigaloo not to finish in my wifes asshole or pussy, just call me when he’s done and I’ll cum in everything myself>>He asks me if I just wanna watch>>Tell me him no thanks I’m a cucked man, not a slave seeking a bull
>>28930003you're weird
>>28929995>Tell me him no thanks I’m a free man, not a wageslave seeking a masterSo you provided your own parts and oil, still did half the work yourself and got charged as much as any other customer who showed up with nothing and said "change my oil" Yes, very based of you free man. You were truly the victorious party in this transaction.
>>28930014Half price if you bring your own oil & filter and I don’t get the snake oil + shitty chink filters they give to the wagies
>>28929995>and then everyone clapped
>>28930025Do I really need to state the obvious? You know what's an even better deal than getting charged half price? Not going to a lube shop at all. Why would you not just change the oil yourself at this point?
>>28930032Dont want to risk my life going underneath with jackstands, let the wagies do that for 20$
>>28930039Jesus dude do you know how rare that is? You should see the peasant built axle stands i use.You obviously know how to do it quit being a puss.
>>28929995You can do all that but can't change your own oil? Surely this is a true story and not a slide thread made by the paid shill army that's been here for years to discourage all forms of auto enthusiasts because personal, at-will transportation is a threat to making every country like North Korea so the inbred Rothschilds and friends can live in even more luxury.Sometimes I wish I had worse pattern recognition.
>>28930063show peasant build>>28930064see >>28930039
based. the oil jockies ruined the oil filter housing on my rx350.bought a metal one and will only go to the local place that doesn't employ retards or do it myself.
>>28930039>Dont want to risk my life going underneath with jackstandsSo just use wheel ramps instead. You only need to reach the drain plug and fit a pan under there.
It's 2026. You're not getting anything done properly or with care if you're paying someone less than $100/hr.This applies to everything from technicians to home contractors to doctors.Humans are living at a sufficiently high quality of life such that they now have a baseline entitlement to not exert any effort or give-a-fucks unless you're paying them enough.
>get tires at Costco for my rusty shitbox Buick>Tire shop calls and say they can't do it because it's too rusty and they can't lift it>Tell them I had it jacked up last week just fine>Ride over to Costco and head to the tire shop>They offer me safety glasses as we enter the shop >No thanks I have my own>don the safety glasses I had in my pocket>Get under the car and point out the perfectly structurally sound frame rails >They say oh and eventually get my tires changed
>>28930483>Truck has 5 basically new tires on it with one shitty mismatched tire >Order a tire online for a local shop>Appointment comes >Truck has sprung a fuel leak the night before>Fuel pissing into the valley but it still runs>Show up to tire shop, Park truck on a slight incline>I can see a big puddle, at least a couple gallons forming under my truck>They drive it into the shop, leaving a trail of fuel>They change the tire without incident and I drive off without any mention of the fuel spillNot my problem
>>28929995This is the mechanic equivalent of begging the restaurant staff to spit in your food.
>>28929995What kind of shitty bait is this?
>>28930003lmao
>>28930003
>>28929995For my daily and luxo shitbarge I bring my own oil and filter but trust them to do the rest right because they're not retarded. I don't do my own changes on them car because it's low slung and requires a gorillion fasteners be removed to detach the skid plate and I don't own a lift, additionally it's too mountainous go use jack stands in my driveway. They just think it's funny and only charge me like $20 in labor. I do my own when I have access to a lift or flat stand land.I have a lifted older Land Cruiser and do my own oil changes on it because I don't even need to put it on stands to access the plug nor filter.
>>28930003jej
>>28929995Not once was any shop impressed with this, usually they just get annoyed as shit because they know you are going to nitpick.Only time I had a mechanic back me up is when I brought in Integra control arms to the dealer and asked if they can press out the bushings for an hour or two of labor. Desk guy looked at me like I am embarrassing him by asking, but master mechanic was there by accident and told him to take it. I had to give a bunch of paperwork on the car and desk guy acted like I stole control arms for a 1994 Integra and was now paying $100 an hour to have bushings changed for no reason.
>drag an old family trailer out of the overgrowth>waterfilled tires shake like fuck>cant drive home with it>sheeet>head to walmart an hour before close>bruh we dont do trailers>dude we are sol if you dont do it>ok redneck kid will do it>dude we dont really have the right tires>try em sol otherwise...>he does it works>palm him 20 for the helpThat trailer has saved and moved a lot of people
>>28931704also rewired the thing in the parking lot while it was freezing with much fun
>>28929995Based
>>28931140>usually they just get annoyed as shitLike I give a fuck what some retarded wrench monkey does or doesn't think.
>>28929996I just did the same thing. Took about 20 mins (two oil change shops right outside the neighborhood, so let’s say 5 mins of travel).
