I don't know the specifics of your issue. The Aux-in jack is connected to your Radio. In Post 3 you said that you had a cd changer issue. oh and the Tech (me) didn't get a dime for the work.

in the spirit of customer service we gave them 600 dollars worth of free service and fired the writer. replaced a radiator on a car that was WELL beyond the warranty (like 45k + 3 yrs over) because the big dummy mentioned that he has seen quite a number of cars in that year need replacements. It is the Service Managers job to make sure that they don't open their mouths and offer opinions. Most of the time Service Writers are not technically inclined OR they know just enough to be dangerous and cause major headaches. Some of us like talking to customers it builds a trust relationship. Most of us techs want to get your car fixed quickly. Pit dealerships against each other for your business. The Reputable dealerships will give you simple things to check before telling you to bring it in. Find out if the dealrship has a membership to the local Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau ( Please stop Laughing it's only a suggestion). (can I afford that nope) Can YOU the Customer do anything about it? No.can I do anything about it.(I quit) Open my own shop. My ethics collided with their bottom line.)ītw the * in my calculations are the hidden fees. One dealership I worked for told us that Cash jobs take priority. SO even tho you are paying a flippin HUGE bill for labor we the actual wrench turners don't get that much and that is for non-warranty work.įor Warranty work peanuts is an overstatement. So the bill is X+Y+Parts+* + taxes(if applicable) = Your Bill The dealership then puts y on top of the pe hr charge. Brakes 15 min Muffler 20 min Window Regulator 1hr etc We get x dollars per hr according to what Saturn tells us a job should take. Since my wife will drive at least occasionally, I think I'll do this backup battery mod.Īnyway, I think the existence of, and proving of this mod's protection, would give ammunition to anyone having their Prius held for $5k ransom by Toyota dealers for something Toyota could have probably added for $10 a car. And no jumper cables or donor car required. If the Prius only needs 10 amps or so for a few seconds to be "jump started", then perhaps a small battery pack would be sufficient.

?Īn alternative mod would be a small 12v backup battery on a switch. Even if voltage was a problem, the 12v donor car can be left running which generally provides plenty of extra voltage over 12 like 13.5-14 or so.Īnyone want to be the pioneer in creating the "Series diode jump protection mod" that Toyota should have put in at the factory.
No 100 Amp starter motors ICE startup is handled by MG2 and the HV battery. Maybe service managers think the same way.Ĭlick to expand."Jump" starting a Prius ? I presume so since I hope we all know jumping FROM a Prius is a big no-no (unless it's Prius to Prius perhaps.)ĪFAIK, all the Prius needs to start is enough for computers, sensors, injectors etc. In a doctor's office, an offhand comment like "Isn't this a cancer symptom?" can cause the doctor to think "Ruh-roh" and to order up a bunch of (technically unecessary) tests to set the patient's mind at ease and avoid potential malpractice issues. My comment like "I thought it might be this problem." can all too often lead someone off the troubleshooting trail, and I have no idea whether that person is someone who has the experience to avoid getting sucked into it. With my experience as a troubleshooting supervisor, I'd hesitate to tell a tech (let alone a service manager) anything that I didn't personally do or directly observe. 30 seconds after starting the test drive the problem was all better, thanks to the tech and not to the "gatekeeper". I've gone round & round with a service manager (over a brake job) and finally asked to take a tech along for a test drive. I'd rather have a conversation about what happened than about what the bureaucracy can't do for me. Click to expand.Fine, then send management out of the room and let me talk to the tech.
