Thats the oil that stayed on top of the skid plate and eventually ran down the back of it. You made your vehicle more difficult to work on and still expect things to be done perfectly and at no cost. Ain’t happening. That kid doesn’t get paid enough.
I’ve got the same exact skid. I’ve had a dealership Jeep Wave oil change and they didn’t leave a drop on there. It’s not more difficult. The tech is just lazy and trifling. I bet his dealership does the exact same thing mine does- text and call after the service is performed begging for an exemplary customer service survey. If he gives them a lousy score and it impacts their money they’ll feel it’s unfair. They should have refused service if it’s “difficult to work on” (it’s not) or done the work correctly.
It is more difficult, it involves extra steps that are typically unnecessary. This a big problem with the Jeep “community”, modifying vehicles beyond recognition and expecting to be treated the same, or even better, than any other customer.
What extra steps are required in your mind?
My schedule exactly!
It’s not “in my mind”, it happens all the time in my shop. You clearly have an interference installed under the oil pan that has a potential to (and clearly did) collect oil on top of it when the drain plug is removed. This is not normally the case. So now, you want some low wage tech to work around your modification, and then do the job exactly to your liking, at zero cost.
As has been explained to me, this will require the technician to take an extra 45-53 seconds and adds 2 steps (connecting the hose and removing the hose) to his work or in performing an oil change. It’s not acceptable to expect them to exercise this level of care and skill because he makes low wages. If he can’t be bothered to take 22 seconds to wipe oil off of a skid, how can he be expected to take almost a minute and take 2 steps that are not explicitly spelled out in detail in the manual to use this contraption? You expect technicians to work on modified vehicles? Nope. Not trained or paid enough for that.
Provide them with the hose and I’m sure they would be more than happy to use it. It’s clear that this hypothetical isn’t what happened though.
Perhaps your right. I am a perfectionist.
I bet you’re the kind of monster that orders a burger with mayonnaise instead of mustard and expects the minimum wage burger jockey to get your order right! Did you pay extra for that extra work and special request? Why do you expect your food order to be correct if you’re making him work extra hard? Why do you think you’re worthy of special accommodation? You’re a problem customer!
