Dear Group;
I have another one for
you. IAbout a year ago I took my 56 Imperial in for tires at Discount
Tire. I had to special order my tires (3 1/2" Wide Whites) from a depot in
Tennesee and waited a week for them to come in. When I placed the work
order, I mentioned that the right side and left side had lug nuits that turned
in opposide directions. He placed that information on the
order. No problem huh?
I was outside as the young kid
got in the car and started it and just sat there. He shut the car off and
went into the work bay and talked to an older kid and they both when back to the
car. The new guy started the car and just sat
there. The new guy then when back
inside and talked to the girl that wrote up the order and asked who had the car
brought in. She pointed me out and the guy came over.
He said that the brake light
won't go off and he could not find the lever to pull to release the brake.
I said that the lever was a handle that was pulled out on the left side of the
wheel under the dash. He said thanks and when back to the car. They
started it again and then just sat there again.
I figured that if I wanted to
get my tires that day then I would have to go over there and see what their
problem was. As I approached the car the first kid saw me coming and asked
where the gearshift was. I said "look above the brake release at the push
buttons and press "R" for reverse and "D" for drive. He thanked me and
then I told him to be sure that he looked at the wheel studs and see if it was a
left hand or right hand thread for the lug nuts. The older guy said that
he had heard about them, but never seen them before.
Before the day was over I think
I had seven people working on my car. The service manager had most of
the guys over giving them a on the job training on early Chrysler
products. Every time I bring "Miss Pearl" in for tire rotation, the
service manager is involved and I get excellent service.
