When your buddy's XJ gets a coolant leak in the school parking lot, and you fix it there. The PO decided to splice the heater line with a t-fitting which cracked. 2-1/2 feet of heater line fixed it.

When your moms car breaks down and she begs to borrow your xj for a few hours while your at work and your over anxious to get it back

when your xj had been in the shop for a water pump issue and its going on the 3rd day and you got a call saying this is going to take a lot longer then we thought
then you worry the whole day and night

In mechanic speak, at least around here, that means "s***, sorry, we broke something and have to cover our tracks." and that is why i do my own work, and 99% of my family and close friends' work when it comes to vehicles

Ohh god I hope not=[ ...they told me they found a rear tail seal leak on my trans. .... I don't remember this leak..

Oh well

Seriously, my pops is a mechanic and When I had to change my pump out I gave him the jeep in the morning, went to work and got it back end of day no problems at all. Lately a lot of these shops have one experienced guy and the rest do what he says and don't know to much. Its good to see people working but there haas to be a line

When you consider this blasphemy, it's not leaking, it's marking it's territory.

Haha alpha jeep FTW!!!

Yeah, it almost seems like they are just giving out the ASE certifications lately...no offense to any mechanics on here though.

Where you see it the worst is these quick lube shops.

Yup, oil can henrys killed my moms durango....2100 bucks on a tranny rebuild, all because mom wanted the transmission oil changed and they left the plug loose. Not a happy customer, i can tell you that. Not a happy son, either, because guess who does the work on it now?

sycoglitch

same thing with my girl a few years back when we started dating. They did an oil change but never put new oil in. Needless to say its a good thing she turned around after a block when the engine started acting up. And with her current car and oil place they use cheap oil that doesnt even last 3000miles and burns up. Soooo now im putting myself in charge of her oil changes and some good mobil 1 syntec

Ykydaxj when between you and your girlfriend you already have 2 xj's but ya see a 99 sport coming up for auction at the police department and find yourself wanting to free up some cash to try and give it a good home. After all,it's only got 210000 on it. Still got alot of life in it.

white99xjclassic

Uh oh,she made the mistake of telling me go ahead and look at it. I may be adding a 3rd xj after all. Haha. Can we say addicted.

Like i told my dad when he bought his second truck, "the more the merrier"
