"Part Failure"

Got this call twice....."don't bother coming down, we blew a motor on the sea trial".....replacing the block on a Mercury motor under warranty.

Best one on a car: Brand new Audi A8L, needed an alignment. Service writer comes back with "well Audi engineers their cars to pull to the right so if you fall asleep at the wheel it steers off the road instead of into oncoming traffic!".......I laughed and said no problem just write that on the service ticket and sign your name and print below.....he decided to align the car instead.

Brother in law was told he needed to replace the motor when he asked for a spark plug change. Shop continued to say how bad the motor was. Pretty sure it a spark plug cause here is the one I broke off as he pulled out of his pocket a broken spark plug he tried changing
