[murda-c]

it'll buff out.

and you're right about tech a and tech b, they're both douchebags.

[!Zar!]

This should be in OT.

Whoever did that is in a world a trouble.

[Canaduh]

Just wow.

fckmsglngth

[mtx450]

hahaha

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Yep, that's a looooooooot of fluid.

There were issues with Elises falling off of lifts; apparently you're supposed to pay attention to little insignificant shit like, oh, where the engine is before you jack it up. Whodathunk? :loco:

So where u work @?
So I'll make sure I never end up there...

[bardabe]

damn it would suck if it was my car, so who got fired for that?

[DOOK]

that's just a clever way of showing your hydraulic jumping skillz

[mrmephistopheles]

That happened at the shop I worked at (at least) once. The tech didn't get fired, though.

Another tech who failed to torque lugnuts on a customer's truck before sending it out, WAS let go after the customer's wheel came loose at 75mph and the truck spun out.
We had to have another tech replace both rear brake assemblies, wheels tires, etc. Dealership ate all that cost. The customer didn't sue.

Connell CHEVY... i work on the nissan side ...... no one was around when it happened... some thing went wrong with the compressor early in the morning and lift came up and down on its own while an oil bucket was stuck underneath.. something of that sort i dont know exact details.

thanks for making the pik bigger eastcoast

[B Love]

Man thats why you never leave a car up on a lift ans if you do make sure its high enough for the lock to stay on

[motorsnail]

If it was my buick I would have started laughing. Time for an upgrade out of the dealerships pocket. "You can keep that thing, Let me go pick somthing out of the lot and I wont see you in court":coolugh:

hahah funny i installed the video cameras at that dealer a while back haha

[steve shadows]

Like I said cali is getting crowded

:wtf:

[brndck]

holy shit, u work at connell? i work across the street at coast general. sux about that, but hopefully it'll be one less buick on the road.

[WISH ONE]

yeah.. people have habits of leaving the springs on the lift levers undone sometimes. From what i hear it was the service managers nephew or something, could either be good or bad thing. Thats fresh is that the tire place? come by and say what up sometime.

[Antihero983]

as someone who works at a dealership.....

.....i find that fucking hilarious.

yeah fuck tech A and tech B.

[azndoc]

Hitting that three wheel motion in the garage son.

What....

[myzislow]

center post's suck ass.... love my rotary's

[qwikspool]

that sucks. thats good no one got hurt.

[status:one]

Glad no-one was hurt. Could have been bad.

[WISH ONE]

more like one wheel motion... lol hopper status! yeah the compressors kinda suck... they go to shit every now and then, no one will bleed them and we get stuck with cars mid way in the air or no air psi for tools..i had rotarys at school they kinda suck in a crowded shop when you have to rotate tires and move in between cars..my friend works at toyota down the street from me, he started like two weeks ago and that was the first call i got from him after we started "hey this is gay we have no room for anything" i guess you get used to lifts you have after while. i dont really have a pref. long as i can do my job

[k's_silvia2.0]

Damn that sucks.

[diomedes]

That's no good. What did the owner of the vehicle do/say after knowing what happened to his/her car?

[Dirty Habit]

Where I'm from the term "racking" means stealing.


I came into this thread fully expecting someone talking about how to steal a car. I was happily surprised at the outcome.

[90KAcoupe]

ok maybe im just tired.. but wheres the rack??? it looks like somebody photoshopped a buick to look like it was falling... cause as of right now it looks like it fell out of the air.

[4thHorse]

I see the rack just fine.

Almost happened to my car once when I was in school.

[WISH ONE]

my friend took some other picks from the side with his phone ill try to get those or post a link or something.. lol.. no not RACKING... no one steals cars at connell LOL

[2ilvia]

it looks like you could just lower the lift, buff the bumper, and none will be the wiser

[WISH ONE]

lol naw the pass. side of the car is pretty messed up..

[Gnnr]

Yep, that's a looooooooot of fluid.
