Had an appointment today for an oil change at Firestone. I got there early, but they went and took my van right in. I told them do not put fluids in the car except oil of course, and do nothing EXCEPT the oil change.
A few minutes after 2pm (my appt time) the van was ready. The clerk's name was Hunter..Same name as my grandson. He was soo nice. He explained things wrong with the van, which I KNEW there were problems, but did NOT know there were more problems than CV axle and stuck lifter.
I will be looking as much as I can to find another vehicle ASAP. I do not want to put more money into this van.
I wrote Firestone and told them what a nice clerk Hunter was, and how he told me everything that was wrong, but didn't make it sound like I needed to rush to fix it.
I get so tired of going places like Firestone and getting told I need something when sometimes I really do NOT. I know I am Blonde and a Female, but I know a LOT about vehicles. And what I don't know..Tom knows.
ANYWAY..the sad thing that happened today is I bought Jack Daniel Baby back ribs. All I had to do was heat them up. Honestly, I have never seen that big of bones in PORK Baby Back ribs..EVER! They were tough, knife would barely cut them. I will NEVER buy them again and suggest to everyone do NOT BUY! I made ColeSlaw to go with them. They were the worst ribs I have ever had in my LIFE. My WORST home made baby back ribs were 10 times better than this one!

We just took my vehicle to get the oil changed, and found out I needed two new tires. We took a look, and we really did, but then they told us we should get new wiper blades. But we knew that was bull because we replaced them a month ago, and they worked fine. It’s annoying when they try to up sell a person.
Those ribs sound like such a disappointment!
Still praying for you!
