I think all mechanics have to sign an oath to change their name to "Steve" to make it easier for we "customers" when they finish their apprenticeship. I wish my "Steve" was great with cars...it would save us a fortune. Might be our next Polytechnic course as at least we could use the skills in the real world ;). As someone who used to work in a petrol station I can catagorically say that you are 100% correct about these 2 tips (no "Steve" needed ;)) and another tip...if you car (say Jag) says "diesel" DON'T fill it up with unleaded because you are a wizz-bang doctor who could care LESS about the sign saying "turn off your mobile phone" and spend the time pumping and yacking (behind the bouser so you KNOW what you are doing sir!) and then have to pay $120 for the wrong fuel AND have your car towed at your own expense, drained of unleaded and then get yourself a new engine...kind of made those long hours shuffling crisp packets all worthwhile ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2849427743103205586.post-69915355773460407922013-07-07T04:08:31.349-07:002013-07-07T04:08:31.349-07:00Great tips.
