One of the sales ploys of these places is to have the guys wear neat uniforms and use military style chants and churps that suckers buy in to.
It still amazes me after all of these years that people can be fooled by the exact same techniques.
These guys are always looking for a way to increase sales, even if they have to twist the facts. They are the not the best of the best.
My last trip to one of these rip off places was 10 years ago. I took my truck in for an oil and filter change. A guy in a neat uniform came in the waiting area and announced my name like it was a doctor's office. He came over with his clip board, and in a very sincere and serious tone, told me that my cabin air filter was almost clogged and he can "fix" that for me for only $19.95 and they have my filter in stock. I thought for a moment (knowing my F-150 did not have a cabin air filter), and I said, "sure, let's get that fixed."
He smiled and as he was leaving I asked if I could come out in the bay area to watch as long as I did not get in the way. He hesitated and then said OK.
It was so funny watching them watch me as they figured out that I was on to them.
Finally, the "manager" walked over to me and said he thought maybe he had made a mistake that they could not "locate" the cabin filter on my truck. I said, "if that is the case, how did anyone here know that it was almost clogged"? He starting acting like a jerk and would not answer me.
He then walked back up to me and asked me to pay my bill and leave.
I did, and have not been back there or any of the others since.
They prey on people that do not know what is really going on under the hood.
One of the well know francises is owned by a man that proclaims to be a God fearing Christian. Yea, right. He knows what goes on behind the scenes.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
