Dealership's, I hate them

Well my car hasnt been running very well lately. I changed a bunch of things on it and it was still running ruff while idiling. SO I went pass by the dealership to buy a certain piece they said that i needed to fix the problem. They said I had a vaccum leak and that I needed to change my Crank Case Vent Valve. So I went to the dealer and bought this $60.00 piece. The guy over there who is a Service Tech told me to pull my car in and he will look at it for me. So when I pulled in and lifted my hood up he listened to the engine and said that is is running great. Then it started to act up and he asked if I put an muffler on there. I told him that i did put an aftermarket exhaust. He said that is my problem and quit looking under my hood. So the next day I went to change out this piece and I noticed that the hose that connects to the Vent Valve and the Valve Cover was broken. It was broken on the valve cover side. I took the old hose off and put a new hose on. Started my car up and it runs just lovely. So now I will never believe another dealership again. Just cause I put and aftermarket exhasut on my car he automatically assumed that was the proble. Where it was only a 2 dollar problem. A teacher once told me Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. Now I understand what she meant by that. Dotn assume anything cause you might be wrong and fuck some shit up.Also the pice that I bought I didnt even need. So after all that it was good.

Just thought I would let everyone know that my problem was not in the muffler but a 2 dollar hose.:)

While his advice was wrong, he was doing you a favor by just looking at your car. If you had taken the car in a PAID for service, you'd have a right to complain. As it is, he was just being a nice guy and trying to help out.

An ignorant nice guy... but nice, nonetheless... :)

I feel ya on the dealership BS, though. I don't wanna think about it, or it will make me mad, so... I'll save that for another time.

you are both right he was being nice to check it out for me. But I forgot to add this in, when he did find out that I put an aftermarket exhaust on my car he was being an asshole and a smartass. He started to get cocky and just plain rude. So that is one reason that I was mad when I found out that it wasnt what he had told me. Dont get me wrong he did me a favor by checking it out but he didnt have to be a asshole.
