Message: [QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1418372, member: 77507"] You can get stuck with a guy with no experience anywhere...walmart, sears, little tire store, dealership or whatever. **** happens. Busy dealerships can run a hundred or more cars through the service department every day. They can employ dozens of techs, many of whom are entry level guys....or, as they're known, lube techs. Sometimes you get stuck with the bad apple who's too busy texting his buddy about what kinda beer they wanted to get that night to concentrate on what he's doing. Not to mention things like corroded wheels that might cause them to come loose even if they were hand torqued. The guys who are sharp and on their game catch the little things might lead to bigger problems.....but they're also not working for 10 bucks an hour at JiffyLube. I work for a service shop and we have several smaller companies who bring their fleets to us. They all know everyone in the building...all 7 of us, lol. They know we're honest and can/will explain and show them anything they're interested in seeing. We keep their trucks moving with very little downtime and suprisingly few tow-ins. They know they could get cheaper oil changes down the street but they also know we're going to fill the oil and look the truck over while it's in. If we do find it needs something we're equipped/trained to properly repair it. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you build a good relationship with a known trustworthy repair shop I'm sure they'll make you a priority for oil/fluid changes and other small jobs. It'll cost a little bit more up front but could save you quite a bit in the long run. I'm glad to hear the triton held together! I can't wait to drive an Ecoboost truck... [/QUOTE]
