Would you believe this?
So last night I get a reminder call that I have an appointment to have my car serviced this morning. Since it was a 15,000 mile service appointment they set me up with a loaner car. I got there when they first opened since they said they would need it for a good part of the day. They told me that they were short staffed so I shouldn't expect it back till the very end of the day. I didn't really care since I had nothing else to do. Around two o'clock one of the service dudes called and said that they made a mistake and I actually did not need a 15,000 mile check but only a 7,500 one since I had just had the 15,000 one a couple months back. BONUS...they always try to up sell you and tell you that you need so much more than you do. I was like, cool, call me when it is done. So then they called at four o'clock and said my car was done but that they had actually only done an oil change since they didn't need to rotate my tires since they were in good shape. Weird, huh. I was given a loaner car for a full day to get my oil changed. But, whatever. So when I went to pick up my car, I only had to pay $39 bucks for what originally I was told was going to cost me $339. How often does that happen? When do you go in to have your car serviced and they actually do less than you thought they they were going to do? NEVER! What a bonus. I have an extra $300 that I thought I wouldn't have today. So despite the crappy weather we are having, I had a pretty darn good day.
