These guys would rip off a minister, Oh wait! They tried, but that's another story. The latest tale of the Sylvania Ohio Midas Muffler,

My 88 year-old mother-in-law took her car to Midas to have her muffler replaced. It was covered by their warranty! Yeah.

Over $400.00 later my mother-in-law had a new muffler, and a $200.00 spark plug and wire change, her power steering "flushed" and her brakes inspected.

They charged her $7.00 per spark plug. There is and was no obstructions at all to get at all 6 spark plugs - none! Had I known she was going to Midas in the first place I would have stopped her, this one is really bad. Plus, I would have changed the spark plugs myself and I would have used Platinum plugs and a good set of wires and saved her over $300.00.

Taking advantage of an 88 year-old woman! Please stay away from this place and trust me, there are a lot of places just like this that will rip you off. The owners of this repair shop own others.

Is that all you've got. Just bandwidth?
The bandwidth problem has already been discussed. Remember?

You misspelled 'at you', or is 'atcha backwoods' slang?

You dodged showing me why I am wrong on my post 8/27/2008 at 8:52:36. Explain why you did that!

'You are simply a pathetic stalker.'

Totally useless but quite dramatic!

Boy, the managers eyes must have lit up when he saw a senior citizen walk in the door. He smelled easy money.......

As for the steering system flush I wouldn't let these monkeys flush my toilet.

'What in blazes is an 88 year old doing driving anything?'

Irrelevant. No help here for the author. Space filler.
I don't recall the author asking you whether or not his mother should drive.

'Now...what in blazes is an 88 year old doing driving anything? Don't bother telling me how great she is behind the wheel. I have yet(in 46 years) seen a collision involving someone over the age of 70 that was NOT the geezers fault. I witnessed on a few weeks ago. The geezer pulled in front of oncoming traffic and got T-Boned. All he had to say was 'errrr...what happened?' I told him he pulled in front of oncoming traffic. He said 'errrr...what traffic?' This was a week after a biker was killed by another geezer who pulled into oncoming traffic.'

Irrelevant. No help here for the author. Space filler.'

I can't believe you would actually call attention again to your usless post. It not only wastes space again, but is still not relavent to anything in this thread. All you could manage was to insult the Author and his Grandmother. If you hadn't written such a bone-headed irrelevant post to fill up space, no one would have bothered you and wasted more space.

Don't try to 'spin' the situation so that it is not your fault. Anyone can understand why you had to spin it. It was because everyone can see your post above is just an irrelevant space filler. Not my fault! You are the one who wrote it! Remember?

Show me why I am wrong above. I dare you! Put your money where your mouth is or give it up.

Pot, meet the cleanser.

You said they charged her 200.00 for a sparkplug and wire change , and you could have done it and saved her 300.00 . I'd be interested in one of those -100.00 tune-ups . Platinum plugs do list for 7.00 . And by the way, you just got that manager a raise .

Huh?!

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, August 25, 2008

What in blazes is an 88 year old doing driving anything?

On to the issue you complain about.

ALL shops charge LIST price for parts, and the labor designated by the labor guide. And NO, Advance, AutoZone, OReilly, Kragen, etc do not charge LIST price to anyone. They all charge JOBBER. Look at a reciept from them...LIST price is on there to show you what a great deal you got on the price you pay. The muffler would have been covered by the warranty(lifetime), but not the pipe(s), clamp(s), hanger(s), labor, etc....just the muffler itself.

Now...what in blazes is an 88 year old doing driving anything? Don't bother telling me how great she is behind the wheel. I have yet(in 46 years) seen a collision involving someone over the age of 70 that was NOT the geezers fault. I witnessed on a few weeks ago. The geezer pulled in front of oncoming traffic and got T-Boned. All he had to say was "errrr...what happened?" I told him he pulled in front of oncoming traffic. He said "errrr...what traffic?" This was a week after a biker was killed by another geezer who pulled into oncoming traffic.
