Caught Upselling Car-Damaging Repair Services?

November 14th, 2008 by psxjay



I wonder if the OEM’s had anything to do with this report. I’m not real familiar with engine flushes but I am with Fuel injection services. When I checked our computer it does recommend Fuel injections service intervals. Each auto manufacture is listed and with its own interval in which we do and will continue to recommend to customers. I think this report has some kind of bone to pick with the two lube centers they visited since they’ve done this type of reporting before.
Judge for yourself. Read about it at KNBC LA!

Car impounded after dog drives away from car wash

November 8th, 2008 by psxjay

PRYOR, Okla. —

A dog waiting in a car while at a car wash slipped the vehicle into gear and drove in a loop before the car came to a stop. Pryor police officer Brent Crittenden said the dog’s owner was washing the vehicle when the 70-pound pit bull jumped on the dash and somehow shifted the car into reverse.

The car backed out of the car wash bay, continued onto a highway and then looped around before coming to a stop at an automated car wash lane.

Crittenden said the vehicle was impounded because its owner was unable to provide proof of insurance.

Because the dog was registered with the city, Crittenden said the owner was allowed to walk the pooch home.

ICA 2008 Orlando, FL

October 20th, 2008 by psxjay

I’m a little late (extremely late) posting my opinions and photos from the ICA convention in Orlando Florida in April 2008.  I apologize and will try to be more prompt in the future.

As a west coast business it’s difficult to get back east easily and we prefer the event when it’s in Las Vegas.  I know I said differently in an earlier post, but now that I’ve made the trip to Florida we prefer staying closer to home.  But the mouse world area is a great place to visit. I believe the convention will be held for the near future in Vegas making it easier for us to get in and out without much of an issue.  I’m sure guys from the east coast may not feel the same, but I know everyone loves going to Vegas. And we look forward to next year. That said Orlando is a great place for a convention and was well run and very well attended by my estimation.  The Peabody Hotel where we stayed is an awesome place to spend a few nights and getting around to the convention center was a breeze.  The ICA put on a fabulous event.

Here are a few of the highlights in my opinion,

  • Great keynote
  • TV style interview kept my attention
  • Trade show was filled with great vendors
  • Most of the educational seminars where well attended
  • Ritz Carlton seminar was very informative and maybe the best I’ve attended

Some thing that could be improved,

  • Some of the seminars are old and worn and need revamping
  • The Disney event though good, but by Disney standards could a have been stronger

Overall I think the event was just what I expected and seemed we attended.  I expect to be at next year’s event as well.
