ok so i went in friday after work to go and get my oil changed like i have been since i got the car. i got 45,000 miles worth of free oil changes, wich saves me alot of trouble of haveing to do it myself lol. but anyway i finally got my hands on a camera that records video, and i was always curious wat exactly goes on while im in the waiting room. well needless to say it kinda irritates me a little. although my recording didnt get anything really good that wuld help me pay for all my MOD's (jk) just this was enough to make me feel like not takeing my car back there to get it taken care of. i dont let anyone drive my car and this is reason enough as to why. maybe this is a typical thing but personally i dont really give 2 shits. this is my car only im allowed to play with her.
and the last little bit when they pull into the lift area kinda bugged me. coz he makes a statement that he pretty much plundered through my shit once already b4 in the past...
maybe this will kinda put things into perspective or maybe kinda raise a concern for ya'll to maybe try doing this yourself.
if u wanna do this yourself i put my camera under the head rest on the passenger back seat. just lift it up and put yr camera under it and only allow yr lens to stick out. or maybe u might have a more creative way to hide it.
Thanks to Orin for editing this down for me
this was originally like 33min and 39 seconds long everything on this video was wat was actually of people working with/around my car
By the way my car is not turbo'd only a Fujita CAI right now
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ok so i guess i shuld have mentioned this the first time, but due to alot of messages on how i hid my camera well heres my lil tutorial.
so anyway to exsplain it to you my camera was under the head rest in the rear passenger seat.
Just lift that head rest up and tuck the camera under it so only yr lens is exsposed.
i wuld recommend the passenger side because if u put it in the middle the driver might see it in the mirror, or if in the driverside the passenger may see it.

my favorite line from the tech,
"get in.... it's a turbo car"

well i didnt like the idea of him reving my car to play with the intake, and b4 that when he said it was a turbo car if u listen u can hear him revving, that part was wat kinda started to piss me off

wow...thats a good idea...I always keep a close eye on my mileage before and after i take it to the dealership. Might be a little anal, but i take a pic with my camer phone just as a little proof.

I had a something like this happen to me at the dealership now i wish i had a camera in my car I took it into the dealer bc the moon roof was making noise and I walked down the street from the dealer to wait and im sitting outside and I hear/see my car ripping down the street chirping through gears I wanted to punch the techs in the face I hate bringing my car anywhere to get work done

If I get my oil changed at the dealership, I just tell them, "I love my car, I'm gonna go into the shop with her, and talk to the techs." Never had a problem yet going into it.
My car isn't the fastest car out there, but I'll tell ya....
Sometimes I haul more ass than a pimp driving a caddy full of hoes.
