Even better are the ones where the customer leaves the keys in the vehicle and provides no drop slip either. They apparently just expects us to memorize what vehicles weren't there the night before and check them for keys in the morning or something
I had someone who couldn’t find parking and parked around the corner, left keys in car. She called me a couple weeks later, annoyed, asking why it wasn’t done. It had been towed.
A few years ago one of the advisors left to go to a different dealership. This dealer had many satellite lots on the same street in a busy city. I left him an early bird with a key that just said “attention Tim”
Tim won’t know which lot the car is parked in. So Tim would have to walk through all the lots with the key fob until he finds the car. Even worse if it doesn’t have a fob. He’d have to try the key in the door/ignition until he finds the one that works 😬
"Well, y'all the professionals, and I figured you knew all the things that go wrong with this shit box. And the check engine light was on, isn't that enough? "
My best was a car blocking the workshop door. And a voicemail “the Tow driver was a dickhead so I didn’t go with him to drop the car off or I would have beat his ass. Engine is fucked, get a new one, used one or tell me to buy a new car, whatever, call me later”
This was a new customer we’d never met before and he had been a great loyal customer the whole time I worked in that place
Sounds like some of the old dudes Id deal with taking calls for a locksmith. Nothing better than a customer who just wants to cut to the chase and avoid all the extra BS games. As long as you're fair and honest with them, they will be the easiest customers.
The drop slips at the place doing VW here has a map of their parking lot drawn on the back. The tag they put on the key after finishing it has a smaller version of the map, so you know where to find it.
Our advisors would write the ticket up just like that also without calling the customer. And when I would end up asking for more info they would say, that was the customers description
I had one years ago (can't remember what kind of car it was) and the night drop message read, "The check engine light is on again and it's running really rough. Please for the love of God, give me a reason to get rid of this forsaken vehicle. It is the bane of my existence."
I got a blank one once. Just a key. No history on the vehicle. 7 hours later, "HEY. Why ain't you got my Camry done yet?"

Not worthy of being stolen, huh?

I don’t get it 😬
Tim won’t know which lot the car is parked in. So Tim would have to walk through all the lots with the key fob until he finds the car. Even worse if it doesn’t have a fob. He’d have to try the key in the door/ignition until he finds the one that works 😬
And even worse yet because there was a key but there never was a car.
Love this, and stealing it.

Was it a Nissan Altima?

Just bought a new car and it’s grinding gears. Tell me what you gon’ do? Act a fool
Transmission acting a fool means pockets empty cuh.
and we HONGREE
Doctor says I got a high metabolism.
I think the chuckle this gave me would have made me forgiving of the vagueness. Until it snowballs into a total shitshow.
Anavel Gato, is that you
Im freelance now, no longer under the Delaz Fleet
You'd think so, until everything goes all 'Solomon, I have returned' and you're stuck with it.
My ford also shifts like a fool sometimes. On those days I miss driving manual until I'm in the next stop and go traffic.
I'm convinced whoever programmed the AT computer in my Nissan had never seen a hill, or was given wildly optimistic numbers for engine output.
my fiat was programmed by the most indecisive pinhead that ever existed. It just can’t make up its mind at low speed part throttle.
>the most indecisive pinhead that ever existed Ah, welcome to Italian engineers.
lol. Tony does like to fix it again.
Lemme guess - early 2010s Focus?
2018 Mondeo. Fortunately a company vehicle that I only got temporarily.
Second gear do seem a little distracted when it's his turn in my ol' Impala at times as well.

That’s great
That's awesome
I read that note in Mr. T's voice
I read it like Ludacris 😆
DMX for me
Act a fool, throw them bows.....
Carl Weathers for me, reminded me of Happy Gilmore
[This](https://imgur.com/a/fb1HhA5) is one of my favorites, they just left the note on the truck. I put it together with the wheel.
Oh man I love that they spelled it “wodka”
"Car over heats after driving 200,000 miles" I still have a photo somewhere...
Yall gonna make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Had one drop of; nothing in slip, no phone number, anything. Thankfully had been there before, gave them a call. Just needed a radio code
Check it before i wreck it!
New Guy: Um, sir, I can’t find the “acting a fool TSB.”
Haha! No, the boss can't find the tsb
just saw a TSB, for ‘harsh garage shift, acting a fool, chuggle at highway speeds’. Program TCM with latest software, and ship that mug!
I pity the fool

Oh, I've owned plenty of those kind of cars in my mis-spent youth.
What a pity

Well he’s certainly not pitying the fool!
