uhm, why do they get in your truck for either an oil change or tire rotation?

I guess the truck magically floats into the shop

O'rly?
I'd like to see you rotate your tires with just the jack and a crescent wrench....

I do it this way.

Haven't you ever heard of a brick?

1) Raise car, remove tire2) Put donut/spare where tire was

3) Lower car, move jack, raise another side of the car

4) Remove that tire, replace with other tire

5) Repeat until all tires have been changed

6) Put donut back

Wow.. For a minute there, I didn't think ANYBODY was going to understand..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Beats paying someone to do it.

jesus christ this thread turned to shit.

all i was looking for is what you do when you have to take your vehicle in, like giving fake addresses and phone numbers, stuff like that.

Did your car come with blocks/jackstands?
If so, its probably hot and you traded Sam The Dope Dealer smack for it.

People drive around without jackstands?

I won't leave the house without a floor jack, jack stands, a mechanic's tool set, and my electrical box.

Yes, but not in a scenario where the only things included were a crescent wrench and a jack.

No one ever said a brick was included with what comes in a car.

Except you.

Because,

Reading Comprehension > You

There is a brick on the side of the road.

I can't ever imagine myself in a situation where I couldn't find a brick, log, something....but then again, I am thinking if I was on the side of the road.

Since I am at home, I would simply use jackstands.

Have you ever been to a place where you wouldn't find a brick?
