KMart Tyre and Auto pisses me off. I took my little Hyundai Excel in for it's ten year service (you can't kill these little things, so you can let the maintenance slip a little.................) and decided on the "Major Service", not that I thought it needed it, but I'm driving it to Adelaide this weekend to pick up an engine, so I thought I'd err on the side of safety, I'd hate for it to break down 500 miles from home.
I noticed that the air filter wasn't included in the $199.00 price, so I opted for one of them too. I also asked the service manager to fix my windscreen washers as they've sucked up some poop and the lines are obviously blocked.
Michael, the service manager, rang me an hour later to say I needed a new front disc, new pads, machining, two new tyres, (the old ones had only done 100,000 miles, that's not much?) coolant system flush, blah blah blah, and the total would be $850.00. Fark! My car's not worth 850 bucks!
Oh well, it does feel nicer to drive now, and if it keeps going for another 10 years I suppose it's worth it, but as I was driving home I tried my washers, and the bastards didn't fix 'em! Now that really pisses me off, because I'll have to do it myself..............
