15000 Miles Service

October 19th, 2006

I am now waiting for my vehicle to be serviced. It is for her 15,000 miles service. My vehicle is now a year old. So on average I have driven about 1250 in a typical month, which I think is an average miles per month in southern california. The waiting room here is not so bad after all. It has a wireless internet to keep me entertained. So with my lightweight notebook and the wireless internet I am a happy person. They are doing the regular change of engine oil and filter, fuel cleaner, fuel and air induction service, replace air filter, check trans fluid, rotate tires and check pressure, and perform 28 point inspection. I was told that the service will take about 1.5 hours.

So while I was waiting, there is this one girl who strikes a conversation. She was wearing this blue hospital gown, which makes me wonder that she looks like a person who works in the operating room. So she asked me what service am I getting for my vehicle and is it free. My response to that is of course i am here for my 15000 miles service. When I heard that she said something free, I started to question her what is she doing here as well, she said she was offered a free car wash on her new vehicle. So I said congratulations on her new buy. She walked to get a cup of coffee and offered to shake hands and introduced her name. We have a great conversation for about 10 minutes and then I am set to go. So I said nice talking to her and hope to see her again. Nope, I did not ask her number. But for sure there is no free 15000 miles service, i paid about 200 bucks for it later on. I can feel that the vehicle has a much smoother ride… another happy ending…
