I did my "before the snows come" check on the cars today.
Checked oil: both good (use Amsoil and change 1x/yr in the Spring).
Checked tire pressure with snow tires put on by Discount Tire.
Corolla was correct, done on E. Washington, but the S2000, done at Castleton, is never right, and I tell them every time.
They said they fixed the issue: wrong!
The manager there said I was his best customer (I have to get rear tires for the S2000 every couple of years, and I have been going there 20 yrs. getting regular and snow tires for multiple cars, and even rims.
I still can't get them to put the correct air pressure in, however.
For crying out loud, after the machine says you have 32#: check it with a TIRE GAUGE!!!
Next, I went to put windshield washer fluid in the cars.
After I put nearly a gallon in the wife's Corolla, I was texting my son to make sure he did the same to his car and his wife's.
As I was texting him I realized I had put radiator fluid in the windshield washer tank by mistake!!!!!!!!!!!
It was too cold, and I'm too old to feel like draining the tank in the drive and cleaning it out.
I went to Jiffy Lube on Shadeland and told them of my stupidity and asked what they would charge to fix it.
The manager said it depended on how long it would take and I told her that either draining the tank (if it had one), to siphoning it out, either one wouldn't take 10 minutes and I didn't mind paying $20 for my stupidity but I wouldn't pay $50
They did it, and I was satisfied, and she didn't charge me anything: I couldn't believe it!!!!!!!!!!
I said at least let me pay you for the fluid put it: she wouldn't.
The Xmas spirit is alive!!!
I texted my son and 4 best friends so they could laugh at me, a person who has done engine, radiator, tranny and diff fluids for years, and now I can't even fill up a windshield wiper tank.
