Re: GM EVSE

I looked at that part number. Looks like you are going to get rich selling those, lots of mark-up LOL. Hope someone doesn't order one of those using ecommerce for a discount. :roll: :roll:

Re: counterman interview questions

I actually came up with a test that we used for a while. This was a written multi-page exam. It asked basic automotive questions, like where would you typically find a ring and pinion gear? What is a tie rod and where would you find it? There were multiple choice questions as well. This gave me an ...

Re: 087 Shipping...

Ordered May 25, shipped from 087 on May 26. Finally arrived today June 8. Lost customer over this one, it was the "last straw" and he just couldn't take it anymore.

I complete understood what he was saying and agreed with him. That just made him more upset. WHAT CAN WE DO? ---- NOTHING --- AFTER ...

Re: RANDOM VIN?

Re: Gas/DEF/Diesel Mistakes

Got another one in today. This one is gasoline in the diesel tank. Ran over 50 miles then "stopped" - will have to see next week how many thousands of dollars damage has been done.

Re: WARRANTY OIL CHANGE PRICING?

Re: Gas/DEF/Diesel Mistakes

GM has very specific procedures for addressing DEF in diesel fuel. There are actually three different approaches.

1 - Customer realizes mistake and no attempt has been made to power-up or start the vehicle.

2 - Customer realizes mistake but did power-up the vehicle but did not start the engine.
