My oil got burnt and ran really low (engine started making a ticking noise). So I refilled the oil and it was black as shit. Been broke so have been just driving it like that for the last week.

I did an odd job yesterday fixing someone's computer and made 80 bucks so I decided to go get it done today. I had a coupon for Shell to do 14.88$ oil change and filter change. I go to Shell and the guy tells me its for GoodYear in association with Shell. Whatever, so I drive a few blocks and pop in there. I noticed when I parked that 3 of the 4 guys in the garage were just standing around talking/smoking instead of actually working.

First thing I ask, "How long to change my oil?" Guy replies "I can't tell you that." wtf? So I tell him I've only got an hour and a half 'til I gotta go to work, hes says that'll be plenty of time. He asks me all this information and inputs it in the computer, prints out some shit and I sign it. I tell him I'll go walk and get something to eat while I wait.

So I go to Chipotle eat most of my burrito, bag up leftovers and decide to walk to CCP (cybercafe) and kill some time there instead of the waiting room. I join a 2v2 LT noobs game PZ v PT. I rape the toss with massive lings and then his shitty ally starts to drop m&m all over the place and my dumb shit partner can't help me or himself. I slowly dwindle but I try and win because the guy is terrible and I know I could easily if I can just get 3 bases running efficiently. Game is dragging on for so long and I finally just leave after 40 minutes because Its been an hour and a half now and I've got to leave.

So I run back over to GoodYear and the same guy is at the front filling out some other guy's info on the comp (taking forever). Guy gives me a look like wtf you doing as I pull out my money and invoice. Asks me if I need anything, I tell him I just need to pay the bill and gtfo. He says "It'll be a few minutes, go have a seat and eat your lunch."
I thought that was pretty rude. Not only because hes telling me what I should do but he assumes that I just got it or something and am just now getting back with it.

I assumed the few minutes was just so he could finish up with the guy's info on the comp. So after hes done I go up there. Guy looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "I told you it'd be a few minutes", I say, "You mean you guys didn't even do anything yet?". He says no and I tell him to give me my keys.


I wanted to stand there and yell at the guy and argue but I knew it probably wouldn't accomplish anything and I was already late. So I just left.

What does it take to change your oil, like 30 minutes tops? What a fucking waste of time, and I'm late for work. Thanks a lot Douche Year.

Now I've got to figure out how to change my oil on my own, Not gonna waste my time sitting around while some faggots pussy foot around in the garage on other peoples time.


Upright Citizens Brigade skit with Sean & Shamus "You guys Didn't do a damned thing!" comes to mind.

Update (next day):
So I bought a filter and some oil and just changed the oil on my own. It took about an hour + (but I've never done it before and didn't have the proper tools), Still much shorter time than they took to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It cost me about 5 bucks cheaper and I got really dirty and spilled oil all over the street, but it was worth it.
At least I came away from this with more knowledge.

You should learn how to talk to assholes. As long as you don't let their asshole nature get under your skin and begin to mirror it yourself (which is hard to resist) they will crumble under your confidence and get your shit done.

I had to leave though, even if I did stay there I didn't have any more time to wait and get it done if it took them 5 minutes longer.

I guess I made the error of believing it would be done by the time I got back, instead of sticking around and making sure it was.

If you plan on completely flushing your oil and then filling it back up it can take a little while, especially if you don't have the tools / know how to do it. You have to get under the car I believe and let it all drain out, then flush it with something, and then close everything and fill it back up. I'm not sure if its advised but you could just buy some more oil, fill it up again and hope that holds it off until you have time to do it yourself / get someone to do it. Just look online for a guide or go to the library, there are huge books on almost every model of car on how to change the oil, breaks, lights, etc etc.

Charlie, talk shit to them and tell them they are worthless pieces of shit... cuz that's what they are to be honest... I've have had the same situation happen in stores like MIDAS, etc..

Everytime I go change my oil I pray to god they are not super retards...

I've been going to a place where they "detail" my car and also do a oil change for like 35$

My Dad co-owns a mechanic shop, and I can OFFICIALLY tell you that's a massive amount of time for an oil change. I have a question though, was it busy? Even if it was busy,however, it wouldn't of taken more than a hour.

You should make a complaint, or something. Call up, or E-Mail GoodYear?

Well when I rolled up there were 2 cars in the 5 car garage up in the air and the other 3 were empty. And 4-5 people sitting in the waiting room.

Lazy workers if you ask me.

maybe if i call them and complain and threaten to never go there ever again in my entire life they will give me a free coupon or something.

edit- on the bottom of the invoice there is a customer satisfaction assistance line, i'm calling.

Man that really blows. Ive been in customer service for awhile and I can tell you that if you call them back and threaten to never do business there again.. they won't really give a shit. I also wouldnt even advise escalating it to their boss. Obviously somethings wrong with him too if thats the type of shit team he is running. Your best bet is to go up higher, like a DM for example, or that customer satisfaction number you got might work well too

I worked in services before and honestly, no one gives a shit if you complain and bitch. everyone is just there for the minimal wage while looking for something better.
