Kwik Kar Lube & Tune

One word: «thieves».
My A/​C slowly stopped working, making me think that I had a leak.
I bought a can of Freon with a gauge, used about ½ of the can and couldn’t get my A/​C to work, but the compressor kept on cycling on and off every 5 seconds.
I took the car to Kwik Kar thinking that they were going to put some Freon and charge me $ 50 – 75
They gave me a quote for $ 750 to replace the compressor and accumulator and said that my compressor wasn’t working because it wasn’t engauging. I checked it later and it was engauging just fine.
I asked my neighbor who works with A/​C units to help me… The problem was (1) Low on Freon (2) Small leak on the accumulator
It took my neighbor 10 minutes and ½ can of Freon to fix my car and save me from paying $ 750.

Me: Man, I really need to get my oil changed.
Friend: Didn’t you get your oil changed last month?
Me: No, I just never went.
There are few things in life I like doing less than getting my oil changed and for that reason I am always procrastinating and then my car starts to hate me. You know what they say, happy car, happy life. Wait… that’s not right.
The abridged version comes in list form — Things I Loved:
1. Fast!
2. You pull into the bay and they change the oil from underneath so no one adjusts your seats.
3. The vacuum your floormats! Awesome!
4. They didn’t try to sell me anything/​tell me my car is going to explode if I don’t spend $ 300 TODAY.
And now, the expanded verson:
After my free year of oil changes from the dealership expired, I decided to pop into this place in hopes that their advertisement of 10 minute oil changes was accurate. I pulled into the bay answered a couple of standard questons and they went to work. It was chilly outside and I couldn’t figure out where to sit, so I got on the phone and paced around outside for a while until a gentleman asked if I’d like to pay. I did and noticed the warm seating area. Oops. I warmed up and paid a very reasonable fee, went back out to see the gentlmen were vacuuming my floor mats. They opened up the door for me and I was on my way within 20 minutes. Everyone was nice. I left smiling. Painless. Now maybe I’ll only wait until I’m 2000 miles past oil change time.
