[QUOTE="GoldBeach, post: 1833125, member: 32998"] Yeah, when I sold cars we would try to sell them right off of the truck after service had closed or on a Sunday. There is a whole checklist of pre-delivery items that a service tech is supposed to do to make a vehicle ready for the sales lot. If you're handy and have a friend as the service manager you can sometimes get away with pulling the vehicle into a service bay and doing it yourself. Fluid checks, pull a spare fuse and place it in it's correct slot before doing an electronics/dash check, and adjusting the PSI in the tires. A few other rando things like putting 2 rubber stop plugs in the floorboard/frame that can later be removed in the event of interior flooding. Then it magically gets signed off the next morning and everyone is happy. Especially the service department because they invoice 1.5 hours of labor to the sales department for that. Now imagine me as a sales guy frantically doing all that while, you, the customer is in the finance office signing docs and declining interior protection options. And remember it is after hours, so I also have to "wash" the vehicle myself, and fill it with fuel down the street before you get done. I might have "forgotten" to remove 25 PSI from each tire and a month later everyone is no longer happy when the customer realizes that they have been cruising around on rock hard tires because I'm either a dumb^ss or lazy. Not that I ever did that. Just heard stories or something. Edit: A portion of service techs are also fools and or hate their jobs and "forget" to deflate tires also. That's the lion's share of theses issues. [/QUOTE]
