Picked it up? You let someone else drive your stang?
What did the data recorder say after you got it back?
Did they give you a free hat with "stupid" on it?
What kind of lube did they use when they bent you
over? What were you thinking? No one drives
my stang. No one but me, period.

in that 50 bucks they came to my work and picked it up. they just dropped it off. i wentby what everyone else said, and they said it made a difference.

The dealerships get a bad name on here, but hell whos to say that a mustang lover isnt working back there and taking care of you baby.....you hear horror stories because who the hell is going to come on here and make a post like "wow the dealersip treated my car like royality and didnt crash it".......i trust my dealer for the most part, the guys there dont care about the mods really and are pretty decent.

157db-The car is only a stang, [8D]Not a maybach or Lambo.
It was a guy that I know, but I know he probably drove it hard to and from. I could have put the tunerto limit speed at70mph for the freeway.
Most of the time I'm there when someone works on my car, and it would be bad karma for my buddy if he never put my fluids in

I guess we're all just a bit too paranoid.
BUT... If I was a little underpaid kid and was given a beast to drive without the owner watching.. Id tear it up! Also, why not change it yourself? All of that would've taken about an hour. Most of that time is just to jack the car up and wait for fluids to drain. If I were you I'd mark my bolts from now on to make sure they're even removed in the first place, even if you cant prove whether or not the right fluids went in.

Yeah, When I take it in there I mark the filters cause I know they are always motorcraft ones. PLus there easy to hit with a sharpie.I just drove it around. the hurst shifter is a little easier to shift. I didnt get on it or anything yet.
The kid that does it is a good guy, they all have older stangs too. I usually get a car was out of it but didnt this time
I never change my oil. Not worth the time and effort, and mess, then recycling time.I usually just buy the good stuff, then take it to a oil place and watch them do it. then when, there done. I will pop the hood give the filter a little turn with my hand, then give the drain bolt a little snug with the wrench.

And try and spin the filter? Might as well go ahead and change it.

You wont change it but get under there and check with a wrench?
