Replying to: mackabee (Feb 28, 2008 4:46 pm) Seriously, that seems very peculiar! Do most dealerships require the staff to make some cold calls from time to time? I can understand following up on leads and "be-backs", but I'm guessing cold calls are a different animal? I've purchased (or leased) over 25 vehicles from dealerships during my lifetime, but I cannot remember ever receiving any cold calls. Emails? Yes. Snail Mail? Definitely. But no phone calls. I guess I should consider myself lucky?

I can understand your shop getting a kick out of people who come in after they screwed something up. Like Clint said, “A man has to know his limitations”. But you have to admit, with the right tool anybody with some know how and some strength could do this job. I’ve never had to replace an O2 sensor but if I did I’d get the tool and I think I’d use some anti-seize compound on the threads of the new one unless they specifically said not to. Of course I’d be careful not to get any of this stuff on the sensor element. Tools are to some degree the difference between the pro and the DIY. If it weren’t for doing things myself and having the excuse for buying tools, all I’d have in the kitchen drawer is a hammer, screw driver and a pair of vice grips. I’ll bet it wasn’t the third job I did after moving into our first house when Mrs. jmonroe caught onto me and said, “and what kind of tool are you going to buy for this job”? All I could say was, “you have a fully stocked kitchen, have you seen that damn garage, it’s barren”  but it ain’t anymore. Tools, the great equalizer. jmonroe
