I dont know if this guy was having a bad day or what.
I called Robert via reccommendation on Thursday or Friday to see if he could change the oil on my 1974 F-100. I was hopeful but would have understood if he had said no. He laughed when I told him what I had, saying that not many of those came around to his shop, but said that he would definitely have me come in. Scheduled an appointment and everything, 8am the following Wednesday. My normal mechanic for this truck is in Raleigh, so I was happy to be able to get the oil changed in Greensboro.
Showed up this morning at 8am (the time of my appointment) with my truck, and Robert comes out looking at me as if he has no idea what anyone is doing there. I explain to him that I had an appointment, and he says "I dont care if you had an appointment or not. I dont work on anything older than a '97 (if I remember correctly) and I'm definitely not going to stop what I'm doing to work on THAT." I tried to tell him again: "but over the phone you told me tht you could change the oil, all you need is a little time and grease gun, you scheduled me an appointment, I took time out of my day for this." to which he said: "Well, I lied to you."
You may have more luck with this guy with a newer car. But dont ever expect him to hold his appointments or tell the truth about what he can and can't do. read more
