Default my day today

so today was quite funny i decided to post this... i had a lady come in with an 03 h2 and was complaining about a rough idle and a clunk/chatter/creaking sound coming from the drivers side... i test drove the vehicle in the parking lot doing what i usually do trying to duplicate the problem and hear the sound... i find that the customer had a non-gm shop look at it and they tightened the bolts on something that she cant recall very well but something to do with steering... while driving i notice that her p/s pump sounded like it was about to die and was able to duplicate the sound she was hearing just by idling turning the steering left and right... it figures i was right about the sound even before i drove it... it was coming from the skid plate... the service information tells us to put a few washers to space the skid plate from the cross member... i raise the vehicle and see if just tightening the bolt would be alright but i found that 9 bolt were stripped... the only three that were ok were the ones toward the front... she didnt want to replace the crossmember just for the skid plate so i re-tapped the holes for a larger bolt... sad part was that i bent my expensive snapon tool in the process... after everything was finished and the problem was solved i drove up and gave the keys to my service writer... the customer kept on thanking me and offered to take me out to lunch because she was so happy that i save her hundreds of dollars... behind my back she asked my service writer for a place i like to eat and of course she tells her... now shes going to get me a gift certificate... i found the lady to be a bit on the "so much energy" side for her age... but what was even funny was she expected someone older than me but she found a 19yr old mechanic =) hahaha... sorry for the long story you just have to meet and talk with the lady... i cant exactly explain her reaction...

It's always nice to have the customer walk away thinking you hung the moon...

She sounded happy, grateful and lonely. What a great combination.

When she comes back with the Gift Certificate take her out to lunch and than send the letter to Penthouse Forums. Than come back here and tell us, too.
