Not car related, as I work at a Motorcycle dealership, BUT here is my contribution (that actually happened as I was reading this thread lol)
Customer: I am looking for an inline fuel valve for my motorcycle. Do you stock them? Me: Yes, I currently have a 3/16" and a 5/16" on stock. Customer: Well I think I have a 1/2" fuel line. Do you have a 5/8" Fuel Valve, that would probably work. Me: No, I have a 3/16" and a 5/16" on stock. They would be too small if you have a 1/2" fuel line. Customer: Let me check and I will call you back. .... 5 minutes later, Customer calls back. Customer: I called about the inline fuel valve. Is that 5/16" fuel valve a measure of the inside diameter of my fuel line? Me: (shaking my head holding back not to slam my head off the counter) Yes sir, the measurement of the inside where the fuel valve will actually be inserted into. Customer: oh, okay.... / hangs up I will have many many more to share, and many will be loads better. I just have think a little to have them come back to me. My life at my shop is honestly a re-enactment of the entire Seinfeld series. Most probably would not believe the daily going-ons... |

Yeah that's a little odd. We charge 1 hour for a CEL diag and 90% of them are diagnosed within that hour. Rarely do we need more than an hour unless it's some crazy electrical issue or multiple codes.

Bad business is one that has to turn customers away. Id fire ed, bring in a few more techs and hire a nice lady to answer the phones

I was at the garage getting my car inspected last week, and overheard this conversation at the desk:
Customer: Did you guys have a chance to look over that Infinity that's parked out front? Tech: Oh, the guy that brought it in is thinking of buying it so he wanted it looked at. Customer: Yes, I was also looking at buying it and I saw him take it here, so I wanted to see if you guys had looked it over yet. Tech: Oh, no we haven't had a chance to bring it in yet. Customer: Ok, once you have a chance to check it out, could you also call me and tell me what you find? Tech: Um, the customer that brought it in is paying for us to look at it for him. Customer: Yes but I'm interested in the same car, and I ALSO want to know if there's anything wrong with it. So could you just call me and tell me what you find too? |

But the second person isn't splitting the cost with the person paying for the PPI. If they want the inspection results, then they pay for a PPI and then would letting them know be reasonable.

Should be up to person paying for the ppi.. if he/she wants to share the results then ok. If not then the second person can take the car and get the same thing done, should be quick turn around if they take it to the same spot haha.

Customer had an interesting idea. But still a dumb one. The PPI is done for the paying customer. Besides, if the paying customer likes what he hears from the PPI, the second idiot doesn't get the car anyway.
