Fellas is there any chance you could let this topic die or at least stay on topic?
Oil changes always do it yourself. |

The real story of the matter is, you dont want us to do our own Oil Changes. Because obviously being a Mechanic you have a vested interest in doing Oil changes for us. So having a long winded debate with me it gets everybody else fed up with this Topic. Gee, you are a sneaky devil Tickford_6 LOL,LOL

Gee, you are a sneaky devil Tickford_6 LOL,LOL well no not at all. not even 5% of my weekly work is servicing cars. my workshop is a performance shop. the real story is i hate the way people talk about mechanics. and mostly i hate when people like you start s**t like this and try to make me look bad. it's pathetic the way you sit there and make s**t up. All you are proving is how imature and insecure you are about your self. you need to try and make other people look bad just so you can feel good |

I think I can see both sides here. Tickford_6 sounds like a good mechanic and if I didn't know what I was doing I wouldn't hesitate taking my car to him.
On the other hand, yes, there are dodgy mechanics out there too. The feeling you get when you are able to to do the stuff yourself is comforting - knowing what has been done etc. I can understand now why a service costs how much it does, and that sounds like great value for the average Joe - for a lot of us here on FM it sounds like a rip off because we can do most of that stuff ourselves. |

Case in point, you say the real story is that you hate the way people talk about Mechanics. Do you not believe that their are Good and Bad ones out their? Because people dont obviously bag out Mechanics when they do a good job now do they? Anyway why give a toss about what I or other people think about mechanics in the first place? Either way if you are a good mechanic it shouldn't affect your day to day work! Because the fact that you keep debating all this just makes your self look insecure or maybe Naive ?  Why dont you just start your own Thread in the Off-Topic section maybe say call it, " Why are all Mechanics good?" That way you and I can stop Hi-jacking Timmeh's Thread, OK

That way you and I can stop Hi-jacking Timmeh's Thread, OKyeah there are good and there are bad ones. what i hate is the way we are all put in the basket. stop trying to over simplify things to make them fit better in your argument. It's getting boring the way you do that. and only goes to show how simple your mind really is. why shouldn't care what you or other people say? You are the one, who at the start of this thread made comments about my work with out ever seeing it. hence the reason all of this started. YOU made the first move. All i was doing was trying explane what actualy gets done during a service. But no you couldn't have that you had start this. So if you are so concerned about timmehs thread perhaps you should think about you own actions instead of blamming only half the reason |

I think we can safely say, this has been done to death, and the conclusions are
1. some mechanics are bad (but not all!!!) 2. some mechanics are rip offs (but not all!!!) 3. If you can do your own oil change, good for you. If not, that's what mechanics are for, and you get charming service as well. (no sarcasm, really) tickford_6 and Sly, I think you 2 should just either a)arrange to meet somewhere for a bare knuckle fight with brass knuckles or b)arrange to meet somewhere for pistols at dawn cause it ain't gonna end till one of you is dead on the concrete bleeding from your eyes.

cause it ain't gonna end till one of you is dead on the concrete bleeding from your eyes. Na, Na you got us both all wrong here I dont feel any hatred or malice here for Tickford_6 whatsoever. And like Physical violence ever solved anything anyway. We are only having a good old fashioned debate here. Thats all, gee we havent even flamed each other either. Like no one has told the other to "F off," or anything like that. I think I will just have to agree to disagree with Tickford_6 now

There are a few good mechs out there, few and far between, if u find one, stick with em, i probably found 3/4 in the last 25yrs of playing with vehicles, of all types, DIY, then u know its done properly, or if it f**k up, u got no one else to blame but yourself, if u cant change oil, sumthin wrong there.

havn't you seen Any witch way but loose "clyde strip the caddy" admitedly clyde was an orangatang. If it's in a movie it must be true. i do like the irony of the fact this tread was started not long before one of our brothers in arms stripped his sump plug thread in the work carpark. bet he wish he was at the "grease monkeys"

Geesus how did he do that? Like when you tighten them up they can only go so far in etc. Or did he accidently cross-thread it
