Turning a veh. over could cause all kinds of problems.
Why not just change the pan plug ? Sounds strange, but this is the place for strange...

I see you are following our window sticker like we discussed last time. Right, just ignore that computer readout thingy, most people are not good with computers. They can't even be trusted to count election votes, much less figure out an oil change interval. I mean, where does that little number come from anyway, with us you are talking to a real person!

Now let's see here - oh, we recommend flushing the fizzilator system at the summer and winter solstices. You got here just in time. You - you say you never read that? Read it where, in the newspaper? The Owner's Manual? Now, now, remember we discussed that rag last time. I tell you I don't know why GM put that thing in the glove box anyway, it doesn't have any of our recommendations in it and it takes up valuable space. Hey, you ever heard of anyone putting gloves in a glove box anyway - Ha ha ha. Sorry, just joking. Say what, you want to go to another dealership? Well OK, but its 60 miles away in Skunksville, and I have heard horror stories about them. You want to stay here now? Fine! Now let's see about the rest of our recommendations for today.

Excuse me - where do our recommendations come from? From our recommendation Dept. of course. They recommend the best things to do to keep your HHR in tippy top shape. You want to know how they are arrived at? Whatever GM forgot about, we recommend, that's how. And beleive me, GM forgot to put a lot in the manual - I tell you those engineers are terrible at documentation. Don't try to understand it - it's all very complicated, bolts, engines, grease and such, just trust us, OK? You wouldn't want to be denied a warranty claim!

Now let's see here, just a few more recommended procedures and we will get you going. We're up to $355 - please stop crying, you'll scare off the other customers - here's a tissue - it's all good for the HHR you know. Plus we have free coffee, if the girls made it of course! Just follow me back to the waiting room, looks like you will be there most of the morning and there's a trash can on the way, we can dispose of that pesky manual and kill two birds with one stone!

I thought that was pretty crafty, but my CD's and my son's box of animal crackers got all over the place inside the truck. Still, I'm glad they've got that equipment or I would have had to pay $$$$ to fix the drain plug.
