Modern Mechanics
I recently posted a rant about how horrible our gas stations are here in the states. Well, along with that I should now include auto shops. I just saw one of the coolest shops ever online. Peep the pics below and thanks to coolhunter!
This place is in the UK and is called HiQ. Take note Pep Boys!
Tire Totes
Why didn’t I think of this. This is one of those ideas that you can kick yourself over for not doing first. I don’t know how many times I got grime all over my hands and clothes just by carrying a tire. Even transporting them in your car could be messy.
I’m not sure where to get these and I’m not suggesting you get the Audi brand, but consider the the tote for a clean way to transport tires.
How Low? How Big?
Are things getting out of control? At what point do you say to yourself, This is too much? What is the draw? So many questions? If you have large wheels or a slammed ride. Explain your interest!
Modern Gas Stations
Thanks to Adam Carollas Gas Rant, I can now speak on this topic now that he validated it. I have been bugged by this for years… Where is the customer service in gas Stations!? You get better service at your local ice cream parlor. What about combining IN-N-Out Burger style service and quality with a clean well thought out gas station. Also, Should one have to exit their car for a fill up?
Here are my top complaints about modern stations:
1. NO Mechanics on duty when you need them.
2. Bathrooms are hideous
3. Full serve is twice as much and they don’t even do FULL service.
4. Never any clean window cleaner in the buckets
5. AIR and Water required a FEE!
6. Pump Hoses aren’t long enough in case you park the wrong way
7. There’s no one line to wait in for a pump
8. Attendants are non-existent to help with minor issues
9. They let homeless people bother you while you pump
10. Usually not a safe place at night
11. NO RACE GAS OPTION FOR PERFORMANCE CARS! (or other alternative fueling options for that matter)
What bothers you the most about modern gas stations?
