What you said is not entirely true. Most shops do allow the customer to enter the service bay IF they are accompanied by the service technician who is working on their car.
I do, however, understand your point about how the customer most likely would not have been in the bay at the time.

Not sure what everyone's problem here is. I said I'm on a limited income...like $840.00 a month income so I couldn't afford this service anywhere else. I shouldn't have to explain myself to you idiots anyway. I found this site and thought it could be beneficial but instead it's full of dumb@ss jerkwads. What does it being a showcar have to do with anything? It's been featured in multiple calendars, voted #1 Aurora on cardomain for 3 straight years, multiple top ten awards at big car shows, etc. etc. However,It's my daily driver and I don't drive much really and since I haven't had a girlfriend in many years, I've put the money into my car instead.
Everyone has their own priorities. Mine was a nice set of wheels. Who doesn't like a nice car? I customized cars for years before I was disabled or owned this car. It's never overheated on me ever and even IF it did that's beside the point! The guy ignored the dash computer dinging and flashing plus the near pegged out coolant gauge. It's an all aluminum engine geniuses.
I only posted this story because I thought it might be beneficial. I wasn't looking for sympathy, just some possible answers. But it seems this place is only cyberbullies and Aholes. The rest of it is only senseless drivel. Get a life!

Team rebuttal can't understand anything because their dumb. They are the ones ganging up on people dishing crap out. It seems they are the ones who can't understand anything. The reason why they "HATE" me so much is, because they can't take being told they are wrong.
Don't argue with morons on rip-off report & that is team rebuttal. They will never admit that they are in the wrong. They are bullies which this site wasn't made for cyber bullying.

So, who is the original member?
In the Chase Auto Financing post, the subject was not lost. It evolved as the OP got caught in her lies and changed her story numerous times. You obviously didn't actually read it.
What post were you originally attacked in?
Nothing against you, Josey, butt if you dish it out be prepared to take it, I have. Have a bad day.
To Chuckles - I know won't understand what I'm saying, but the OP cast the first stone when they complained about the company in question. And, of course, he never did answer the question of 'why would you take a car you value so much to Walmart for repairs?'
To voice - You should have seen me trying to type it. Just one question. Is there any chance Chuckles and Josey are the same person?

That's it. Nothing more to post. We all know where this thread's headed now.
Jim, I can't stop cracking up every time I think about your musing that maybe this guy brought the car to Walmart hoping they would blow it up. I keep picturing what the scene in the repair bay must have been like. Thank you for a good laugh.

Team rebuttal doesn't want anyone to get justice. They should watch who they call stupid just who do they think they are that they can judge people. Everybody is a sinner. The saying is "One who is without sin cast the first stone.

Hearing a lot less from the original member, yes I remember the chase auto post. Prime example of what I 'm talking about. Team Rebutt went on and on and on, and the subject was lost. Even if this is a public post, not everyone wants to hear from some people who seems to think they know it all. Remember, don't let them get away with it. As far as correcting grammar errors, give it a break. Yes I was attack in a post in which the only way to fight back was to rebutt the rebutters. I never asked for advice and when I refuse, oh boy the Team was mad. Nothing against you Jimmy butt if you dish it out be prepare to take it, I have. Have a nice day.

My favorite is the lady who thought she could strong arm Chase Auto Financing into changing her due date by not paying her bills. I believe you had a few posts in that one, too. Though I'm convinced you don't actually read any of the posts, all you do is tell this fictitious "team rebutt" to shut-up. Yeah, how's that working out?

The world needs a good laugh, what better way than to laugh at all the rebutts from the Team who butts in when not needed. How many time has the team attack people who do not agreed with the stupid rebutts??? The same rebutts from the same rebutters.

The others do have a point. Why would you take a car you value so much to Walmart to have service? Maybe, the OP knew it had issues overheating and was hoping that Walmart would blow up the engine.
I can tell my own story about Walmart's TLE failures. This happened while I was working at the very store my story happened at, here in Indiana. I took my car in for an oil change, first car, didn't know any better at the time. It took about an hour for them to get the car in and complete the service. After paying, I went out to the lot and noticed a trail of oil leading from the garage to the car. When I started the car, the engine was already banging. I called my dad and he came and looked at it. It turns out that the mechanic did not put on any oil filter.

Why would someone take a rare, aging show-quality car to Walmart of all places to have sensitive fuel system, cooling or engine work done? It's bad enough anyone would use them for oil changes.
If this story is truly on the level, then it's the poster child for "penny wise, pound foolish".
And this OP was clearly concerned from the outset with the workers overheating the car, leading me to suspect, as Ramjet does, that the Aurora had some cooling system issues going in.
This OP could have waited for the extreme heat spell to pass before having the work done. He clearly should have had it done at a garage that could be expected to handle such a car with kid gloves.
I'm not defending Walmart or the mechanics by the way. Even if the car had issues, the guy working on it clearly should have been watching the gauge, or making sure his co-worker, or even the customer, was. I would think the very fact that it blew in their hands, regardless of underlying issues, would give this guy some oomph in a court fight.

Did your car overheat when sitting in traffic idling?
I have never seen anyone put a fan in front of a car when working on it, is this common?
I would agree with Walmart that the car already had an overheating problem. I have never had a car overheat if everything was normal.
Why would you take a - "This was not just any Oldsmobile Aurora, but a highly decorated show car." to Walmart to be serviced? There must be a qualified mechanic you could take it to.
I think you are lucky, not everyone making $800.00 per month can afford a highly decorated show car.
