text: You know times are really getting bad when a shop like Meineke pulls this stuff I have been getting my oil changed at Meineke for the last few years because they mail me oil change specials for Yesterday ended all that I went in yesterday Saturday to get my oil changed even though I figured I may have to wait because it is Saturday There were no other customers there at AM I gave them my coupon and the keys and said I was going next door and would be back in minutes When I came back the manager said he had some bad news for me He said I needed a power steering and brake fluid flush because the fluids were dirty I said OK show me the leak He said there is no leak and I said no st if there was I would have noticed it on the floor in my garage Then I asked him if there was no leak how did my fluids get dirty He sounded like Obama without a teleprompter uh uh ooo uh ahh oh oh Then he told me I needed a fuel filter because the one that was on there looked like the original I told him it was not the original I replaced the original at miles because my engine started to ping Restricted filter and the engine runs lean gets hot and pings I put in a new one and no more ping Then he told me I needed battery service because the posts were starting to show some corrosion that will because my battery to drop cells I told him the battery was purchased at Walmart years ago and was probably ready to be replaced anyway He said he could perform all this service today for and he would throw in the oil change for free I got up on my tip toes and did a tap dance while shouting expletives as loud as I could that would have made Rodney King proud
