| - Where do I start?
How about after my boyfriend and I walked in and asked to get his car looked at because his check engine light was on, I jokingly asked the guy in the front "Are you gonna give us the Midas touch?"
He laughed and said "You wouldn't want that." Then looked at my boyfriend and said "But you'd love that. She'd be still and could never say a word. Perfect for you. Haha."
My boyfriend, being the most awesome guy ever, uncomfortably replied "No, I could never have that happen to her."
The phone started ringing off the hook and the guy came back into the office to answer. A few minutes later, he had what appeared to be a heated conversation with someone he knew and suddenly said "God Da**" in front of four people who were in the seating area. I wanted to let him know that just because he had his back turned to everyone, doesn't make it appropriate for him to be screaming profanities.
Finally, after the car gets looked at, the guy comes back and informes us that we need a tune up, the spark plugs replaced, and a fuel injection cleaning. I had already suspected the spark plugs and so I looked at my boyfriend while he was at the counter with the rep and said, "Honey, the spark plugs are most important, you don't necessarily need the fuel injection cleaning."
Well, that just so happen to greatly upset the representative, who angrily said "Fine. I'll have them take the car out."
He didn't even give us a price for the spark plugs or ask if we wanted it done. As soon as I recommended to my boyfriend not to do the fuel injection cleaning, the representative was done with us.
So to recap:
The guy who assisted us:
-Yelled profanities over the phone with his back to 4 people
-Made a sexist comment to my boyfriend about me
-Pushed us out the door because we didn't want to do all services
Lastly, the guy only ran a quick diagnostic. Any mechanic knows that having a general code spit out doesn't tell you the exact problem. Yet, he claimed that we needed those two things exactly when no full diagnostic was done. This guy should get a written warning and a class on manners. When my boyfriend took it to his usual mechanic he found out that all that needed to be done was just the spark plugs. $72 dollars later his car was fixed. Midas wanted to charge $179 (we called and asked later) for a job so easy a five year old could do it.
