I found this on Stoned Gecko and thought you all
would enjoy it smile

Warning Signs of a BAD Mechanic:

He asks you if your car runs on regular, unleaded, or extra cheese.

He repeatedly asks you how much you have in your checking account.

He used to be the CEO of Enron.

He casually mentions that he thinks used-car salesmen are ?too honest?

After you tell him how the car has been acting, he says, ?It?s probably just a problem with the
doohickey?.

You can see a dartboard in his office with sections labeled, ?Fuel Pump?, ?Transmission?, and
?Fat-Wallet Special: Cracked Engine Block?.

You can?t see any tools in the garage, only lots and lots of rolls of duct tape.

When you pull up, he yells over his shoulder, ?Hey Cooter! Live one pullin? up!?

He tries to diagnose engine problems with a tuning fork.

When you hand him your car keys, he says, ?What the hell are these??

While you?re telling him what?s wrong with the car, he?s rifling through your glove compartment
looking for spare change.

Instead of overalls, he wears a Mickey Mouse costume.

He continually refers to your car as a ?horse-less carriage?.

He brags about being the lead engineer that built the Yugo.

He asks you, ?You mind if I live in this thing until it?s fixed??

He asks you what grade mayonnaise you?ve been using.

He immediately hops behind the wheel, starts bouncing up and down, blowing the horn and yelling
?Wheeeee!? like a five year old.

He refers to the engine as ?that thingy?.

He tells you the car will be ready when it?s paid for his next vacation.

He repeatedly calls you ?Mr. Moron Suckerface?

*His name is BOB

* He works For A Ford Blue Oval Certified Dealer

*Its called Montrose and is located on west state street in alliance, OH

*He smiles as he says he will order your part

*He smiles when you ask where your part is after 1 month

*He smiles after 3 months as well

*He no longer answers his phone or returns his call ....your check engine light will still be on at this point and your car will be leakeing oil like a siv from your recent oil change at this location. If I could see him now.... I am sure he would be smiling, until I accidently kicked his teeth down his throat

sorry there are some unresolved issues there and I couldnt resist

*His mane is Butch or Bubba

*He says everything is "normal"

*He says he doesnt have a clue as to whats making that noise

*He thinks its valvetrain related and for $500 they can try to fix it

*He looks like a dipshiz when you show him the shavings out of your oil filter indicating you have fried a bearing.

*he refuses to help fix the misdiagnosed car.

*PS he never touches anything I own or that I know of

? There are more unlicensed/unrunning vehicles on his lot then there are running/licensed ones.

? He has fewer tools then I have in my garage

? When you walk into his shop and he is drunk at 10AM.

? When you walk into his shop and get a secondhand high off the weed he's been smoking, even though the garage doors are open.
