You can leave that foot in your mouth.

The KIA guy.........welcome........but you have got to be kidding?????????? A friggin KIA and you call the Focus slow?????????? Dare ya to come down to the track some day and watch the slow FOCI wiz on your parade. Were you paid to come on this site and rile us up??

...he should try to get a job at a dealer....I really encourage dealerships for their apprenticeship training. I took my apprenticeship through a ford dealer, and the course was excellent, I breezed through my mechanic exam, I was very well prepped with my training at centenial college in the ford asset program. They really do go through the proper way of doing things....I dont know what his canadian tire garage is like, it may have some good techs to learn from, but I have heard crazy stories from fellow mechanics that started out at canadian tire garages.

just a funny canadian tire storey for ya....about two days ago I had a customer come in with a windstar with a squeaking belt. So I talked to him, and he said canadian tire had just replaced it...he said it took over an hour to get the belt replaced...and at one point, he saw someone walking over with a 5 foot long bar to get the belt on???? I told him I dont know why they would need that...and at that point I realized they had actually bent the belt tensioner out of alignment by prying on it with the bar....well anyway, I put a new tensioner on for him, and I think he was suprised to see me install the belt with nothing more than my bare hands.
