Trying to get the oil changed

February 7th, 2007 at 01:48 pm

For 2 days, we have been trying to get the oil changed in the vette.
This car is different and uses a different type of oil. There is a gauge that tells you when to get the oil changed, about every 10,000 miles. When you get it changed, the mechanic has to reset the gage.
Yesterday dh took it to our local garage. (before that, we had gone to the chevy place which is 20 miles away in North Carolina)
The mechanic did not know how to reset the gage and also asked, when did corvettes get automatic transmissions?
That got my husband to wondering how much this guy knows about cars.

This morning, dh took it in again, hoping that the owner would be there and do the work. The owner was out sick but the office lady said, Jamie can do it, it is his first day.

Dh took one look at Jamie and brought the car home. Jamie worked for us for about 3 weeks. He was supposed to be a carpenter, but he wasn't.
Someone broke into our spec house shortly after that, and from the discription of the car, we are sure it was Jamie. He stole a thousand dollar tool and several other things.

Now Jamie is a mechanic?? Not on our car, he is not!

One good thing is, we figured out how to reset the gage ourself, now just to get the oil changed!!

    Whew - glad you realised who that guy was before he got near your car! Sounds like you'd have got the wrong oil and ended up one car stereo short!

    Every 10k? Quite a difference from the usual 3k that the local Jiffy Lube always nags you to do.

    Goodness, he might have even stolen the car.
