Canadian Tire Fun

Last night Tracy and I took the SUV to Crappy Tire as I like to call it. There we were greeted with there latest automotive expert. All we wanted was a quick oil change. This "expert" tried selling us everything under the sun before we even opened the hood on the car. Tracy and I left and did some shopping wile they worked on our vehicle. We get a call saying that the coolant level is a bit low and needs to be topped up. Apparently it's Crappy Tire's policy to sell you 4L of prestone so they can put 100ml in your car! I know that when I take my car to Toyota they just top it up and don't even charge you for the top up. Must be a pretty nice little scam to charge everyone that walks in and need a coolant top up for a 4L jug. When we got back to pick up out Grand Vitara, there was no one there and we had to wait for ever. When some one finally showed up he told us that they suspect that the engine has a small leak and that we should take our Rav4 to KIA and have them take a look at it. I tried pretty hard not to laugh and ask if he enjoys the sound of his own voice. Its a Grand Vitara, it's made by Suzuki, the Rav4 is a Toyota product and KIA only wishes it made something as good as a Rav4 or Grand Vitara!
Needless to say we won't be taking our SUV back to Crappy Tire any time soon!
